I am running Fedora Core 16 that has been upgraded from Fedora 15 with preupgrade and it was working fine until I shut down, now I boot up the machine and it hangs when it is trying to start DBUS. I have selinux set to permissive and I am using /sbin/upstart but this problem is still recurring. Here is the output of /var/log/messages. I am running a Knoppix live DVD ATM, so I can use a chroot if I need to execute any commands to fix this. Any help you can offer would be awesome.
#EDIT I just tried this again and it hangs on this part of the boot up sequence.
Starting LSB: Mount and unmount network filesystems.
This is as far as it will get.
Code:
