Slap your friend, because 'Rawhide' refers to the development packages of the next Fedora release:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/Rawhide

[marko]

What actual fails? Does it get to that point that you have pictured and just stops forever? Note the existence of the red "failed" at the top of the capture is not a real failure. It's just saying that akmod fixes kmods that have failed, it's a statement of purpose for akmod and not saying that a failure occurred in your bootup -- that's really poor wording (or at least they should not color it red).

[tox]

looks like if he removes the akmod driver he should be fine

[dariush]

hey guys how can i remove the akmod driver it doesn't go in fedora. i don't know I'm new with fedora

[marko]

There's also a failed line at the bottom (fourth line up from bottom) where "modeprobe" failed from /etc/rc.local with a command not found error

modeprobe is correctly spelled "modprobe" without the extra 'e'

[DBelton]

if he is using the nvidia akmod, then he's got a problem with that.

Wasn't Leigh saying over in another thread that the nvidia akmod won't work with the rawhide kernel due to the extra debugging they have enable in the kernel?

Best thing I can think of is to disable the rawhide repos, then do a yum distro-sync? This should downgrade the rawhide that got installed packages back to what is in the F15 repos.

When it hangs at boot, can you do a ctrl-alt-f2 and get to another console screen? If you can. try signing into it as root, then

yum --disablerepo=rawhide distro-sync

Edit:

The "modeprobe" error that marko pointed out above will probably still be there afterwards, so that still needs to be fixed. but that error should not prevent fedora from booting.

[dariush]

DBelton i'm trying you way but it didn't let me to disable rawhide repos it says repository not found.
but i typed yum distro-sync and now it's doing somthing

yum distro-sync didn't work ether i still get the same balck page with everything in it nothing changed

[fedvasu]

ok first rawhide is a bit more dangerous ... if your /home partion was btrfs it is bound to happen .. it happened to me when i tried out /home with btrfs and when ever i tried to install anything from yum .. i got black screen out syslog fedora message(i don't know what that means)

[dariush]

no mine is ext4. is there anyway to fix this without reinstalling Fedora

[leigh123linux]

Try

su
yum --releasever=15 distribution-synchronization

[dariush]

it says command line error : no such potion: --releaserver=15

and guys whatever i do at the end of every command that i entered i gives me some errors about vlc 1.1.11 core and rpmfusion-nonfree-release-16-0.1.noarch.
and then it says try --skip-broken or rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest i tried both with every command you guys said and still nothing. is really anyway to fix this

[tox]

[dariush]

The command is valid!

[diamond_ramsey]

it says command line error : no such potion: --releaserver=15...Please guys any ideas ?

dariush, there is a typo, check Leigh's command recommendations which are "spot on." :)

yum --releasever=15 distribution-synchronization

Hope this helps. ;)

guys someone told me i can fix this by recovering but he didn't know how. Dose anyone here know how to recover to last recovery point or something like that ? I really don't want to reinstall everything

Linux doesn't have recovery points.

as i said, in a previous post, a reinstall of F15 would be quicker, or you could always use Google to Search (www.google.com) your fault if you wanna listen to your friend that knows nothing.

Now I'm gonna go and beat down my friend for this.

Really? Over a computer? May I suggest that instead of blaming someone else for your computer problems listen to what others have suggested in this thread and give their offerings a shot. Otherwise, do as detox suggested and reinstall the operating system. That takes about 30 minutes. So far this thread has been open for more than 48 hours or more than 96X the time a complete reinstall would have taken. Save your data and reinstall Fedora. Chalk your experience up to learning.

[dariush]

you're right i just didn't wanted to reinstall every app and update specially the long thing that i gotta do to enable my broadcom wifi again. thanks guys for all your efforts.

[glennzo]

OK. Glad you didn't take my comments the wrong way. Wasn't trying to be smart or snide although it could have appeared that I was. Remember to save important data (backup) before you do anything else.

[codegagan]

I have a same kind of problem, my system stops at "enable monthly update of smolt". Please help me.

codegagan, new post would probably get a better line of exposure. ;)
