Description of problem: when booting from CD start-up appears okay (except for message 01003967 /proc/device-tree: can't find root). Screen opens with a blue "shower curtain" (blue vertical bars) and a Fedora automatic login dialog box. After a lengthy pause with just the blue bars the screen flashes black every 5 seconds (appears that a process is trying to start?). Then screen stays black with day/time & "Live System User" along top edge. If the power button is pressed several times the blue bars return and the shut-down dialog box appears momentarily. Select shut-down message, "01003967 /proc/device-tree: can't find root" appears again but Power Off is successful. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 15 alpha i686 CD How reproducible: every time boot from CD Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: Chipset: SIS735 Board: ECS K7S5A CPU: AMD Duron 1100 RAM: 512 MB Video: AGP ATI GC-R7000L-B3 Radeon-7000 (RV100) (cd download passed SHA256 checksum)
Could be Gnome crashing, X server crashing, something wrong with the radeon driver, running out of memory, ... It's hard to tell. Can you switch to a text virtual terminal and login there as root with an empty password? Is there any swap partition in use (swapon -s)? dmesg, /var/log/messages, /var/log/Xorg.0.log may hopefully provide some hints what's going on.
I doubt this has anything to do with systemd, guessing X. The system boots all the way to gdm, and shuts down properly, hence systemd seems to behave correctly.
I would vote for gdm, but let's try to see what's going on. Please add drm.debug=0x04 to the kernel command line, restart computer, and attach * your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf, if available), * X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) * output of the dmesg command, and * system log (/var/log/messages) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link above. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance.
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
