fc 3 wont boot after kernel update

agentblue · #1 26th April 2005, 05:23 PM

i upgraded via yum from the 2.6.9-1.667 kernel to the latest kernel and now if i chose that kernel to boot it jus gets stuck after loading storage network audio etc. and jus sits there anyone know a fix for this?

It isn't clear what "that kernel" refers to. Do you mean you cannot boot from the old kernel 2.6.9-1.667 or that you cannot boot from the new kernel you got via the update. Or that you can't boot from either one? What kernel did you get when you updated?

no the newest kernel which is 2.6.11-1.14 i cannot boot that but if i choose the old version 2.6.9-1.667 it boots fine ,sorry bout that i should be more specific.

noone knows a fix for this ?? it jus hangs after loading loading storage network audio but the 2.6.9 kernel boots fine

Perhaps you already have done this, but if you text boot (remove the "rhgb" option from the grub menu) with each kernel, can you tell what process is going on when the new one hangs. And what process comes just after this process (with the old one). That would narrow the problem down to two processes. Also you can see any "failed" conditions on the way.

it hangs after loading network storage audio so it goes
loading.... network storage audio [ok]

Did you upgrade with the RPM? If you did, I would remove the rpm file and try installing the rpm again.

agentblue · #9 27th April 2005, 05:28 AM

okay im not sure if upgraded the rpm most likely though i updated the kernel via yum. now it gets stuck at enabling swap space how would i uninstall the rpm well not that how would i find where the rpm is too uninstall it and where do i obtain a new one. Someone said it could be a conflict in the kernel with NSA patches anyone heard of this?

Make sure you upgrade to the newest udev rpm when using 2.6.11-1.14

agentblue · #11 27th April 2005, 05:42 AM

and what version would that be and is there an rpm for fedora?

brianmsu80 · #12 27th April 2005, 05:45 AM

check your version:
rpm -qa | grep udev (sudo, or as root)

I am using udev-039-10.FC3.7

agentblue · #14 27th April 2005, 05:52 AM

ment to say i am also using udev -039-10.FC3.7.

I should have read, I notice now that you used yum, so your system should be all up2date.
You could try upgrading to a "development" or "testing" version of udev.
