From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: When booting 8.0 after an upgrade from 7.3 (that was up2date as of 10/4/2002), the machine will hang at "Bringing up loopback interface" if kudzu is enabled. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have kudzu enabled 2. boot Actual Results: Boot hung when attempting to bring up loopback interface. Expected Results: Should boot Additional info: This is a Toshiba 5005-S504, 512MB RAM. This is a "legacy free" machine meaning it doesn't really have a BIOS. Disabling kudzu during the boot sequence (/sbin/chkconfig --level 35 kudzu off) allows the machine to boot normally.
Is there firewire in this computer?
Yes, there is an IEEE 1394 interface in the machine. It is not in use, but it does exist.
This appears to be a kernel issue; on some motherboards/machines the loading of the firewire modules (which kudzu does, to see if there are any disks attached) appears to greatly destabilize the system.
Well, this is basically just a "me too" comment, identical hardware. It appears from poking around on the net (search on the model number + linux) that it is an acpi issue. Hopefully we'll see some patches for this.
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem persists. The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
