Description of problem: On Fedora 14 I updated preupgrade from the testing repository in order to be able to preupgrade to Fedora 15. After doing the preupgrade and reboot the system does not boot anymore. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Do a preupgrade from Fedora 14 to Fedora 15 2. After downloading and installing the packages reboot Actual results: The fedora white logo shows up and if filling slowly to white, and after a long time shows up correctly, but no login screen is presented. Expected results: A normal login window. Additional info: These messages are visible on the console when I hit 'Esc' while booting: SELinux: Could not open policy file <= /etc/selinux/targeted/policy/policy.24: No such file or directory Failed to load SELinux policy. (This is showing 9 times) And after a while: plymouthd: ply-array.c:82: ply_array_get_size: Assertion `array->element_type == PLY_ARRAY_ELEMENT_TYPE+POINTER || array->element_type == PLY_ARRAY_ELEMENT_TYPE_UINT32' failed. After a while, I cannot switch back to the logo screen with 'Esc' anymore. I cannot open a console with Ctrl+Alt+Fn.
I added selinux=0 to the boot parameters, and now my systems shows the login screen again.
I have the very same error. But adding selinux=0 did not change anything. Still can't boot after upgrade from FC14 to FC15. And when I finally force a text login using Ctrl-Alt-F2 I can only use GNOME now - KDE seems all gone. And boot takes 17 minutes before last line is showed and process hangs (FC14 used to boot in approx. 3 minutes). I wish I could go back to FC14 easily. Any other suggestions on how to get login screen again? I have the following plymouth packages installed plymouth-core-libs-0.8.4-0.20110510.2.fc15.i686 plymouth-system-theme-0.8.4-0.20110510.2.fc15.i686 plymouth-theme-charge-0.8.4-0.20110510.2.fc15.i686 plymouth-graphics-libs-0.8.4-0.20110510.2.fc15.i686 plymouth-0.8.4-0.20110510.2.fc15.i686 plymouth-scripts-0.8.4-0.20110510.2.fc15.i686 plymouth-plugin-two-step-0.8.4-0.20110510.2.fc15.i686 plymouth-plugin-label-0.8.4-0.20110510.2.fc15.i686
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '14' 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 14 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
