Fedora :: 11 - Boot Freezes At Setting Hostname ?
Apr 23, 2010
A few hours ago I was doing some heavy IO between two hdd's on my system and, from what I can tell, the screensaver tried to come on and X locked up. I ssh'd in from another computer and rebooted the system. But dring the boot process when Fedora starts starting service, after setting the hostname it outputs the previous output again and then freezes (see picture below).
I have never seen anything like this and don't even know where to begin to try and fix it. Any help is awesome especially since, as it stands, this computer is essentially useless.
I'm running an encrypted, updated Fedora 11 64bit.

I've got an OpenSUSE 11.0 machine that's been working fine for quite some time. Today it wasn't responding at all to HTTP or SSH requests, so I power-cycled it. Now it's freezing up during boot at "Setting up hardware clock". I can't get past it in the boot-up, whether I use the default or the failsafe boot options.
I'm able to fire it up with a 11.3 install DVD and enter the rescue mode. From there, though, I'm not sure what to do next.
I can't use YAST -- can't boot that far. Most of the threads I've found on this topic via Google recommend doing something in YAST, so I thought I'd nip that in the bud.
I did check the BIOS clock, and it was about a month slow. I reset it manually -- hopefully I haven't screwed myself completely.
Any assistance would be hugely appreciated. This box is running as a server for a few websites, and the users would like them back.
AFAIK this is OpenSUSE 11.0, 32-bit, but I could be mistaken. It might be 64-bit. Where would I check that prior to attempting to boot?

Coming from a regular syslinux prompt is there any way to set the node's hostname? Basically I'm trying to start an install and the syslog= parameter needs to have the hostname set. It doesn't look like it's getting set by DHCP.

I have a debian system that's freezing in the boot sequence at "Setting system clock".Several sites I looked at recommended changing the init scripts to disallow hardware access to the clock. But, I can't boot! Is there a parameter I can pass to the kernel at boot so that it will skip init scripts?

Installed fc12 on a pentium 4 - 3.2 gig cpu, 2 gig mem, 6 gig root, 2 gig swap and 12 gig home.
Install completed and on reboot it freezes near end of boot process. Install disk is good, install worked on a laptop.
How do I find the cause of the freeze?

I'm a bit of a Linux novice but have taken the plunge and got a old Dell machine set up with Fedora 13, it works fine for the most part. If I can get it to boot. Whenever I start it up the tri-color boot bars go across the screen but seem to freeze at various times. Sometimes right as its getting started, other times it will go all the way across but never actually do anything. I can sometimes get it to work if I get into GRUB and try a different kernel version. Is there anyway to pull up a more informative boot screen or some other way of figuring out whats causing the freeze instead of just watching the progress bar?

As my inspirations forced me to download Kde desktop on my Fedora12 with default gnome desktop. It took me whole night to get the big download by -
"Yum install @kde-desktop"
It got installed successfully.
What I did after that was -
"switchdesk kde"
...Voila...and strange thing happened. The gnome remained there but all the kde features started getting included in there like koffice, kopete etc . Now I waited for around 3 hrs. but only lower task bar of kde got installed and that too very unstable. So I thought of logging out and starting a new session with kde but It never got logged in again. It froze at boot time with Fedora logo, damn.
I have two kernels installed and configured at boot, one is 2.6.31.X (default) and the other is 2.6.32.X which I installed to get my BCM4312 wireless activated and all the activity being done on this.

Tried the DVD install for 10. Install went fine other than it take for freakin ever, but after an 1 hour install, the update wanted to install 1675 or so updates. I let those updates install. 5 hours later the updates were done. Rebooted and now it freezes at a blank screen right after the 3 scrolling bars. System is older AMD 3000+, 1 GIG RAM with NVidia 5700 video card.
I did try and search some. But the only thing I could find was something about editing my grub file for a scan=sync setting (the information was basically gibberish to me. No clue what it was talking about or how I would edit a file on a system that won't boot). I tried to recover mode off the live CD. It had some options that said you could type Linux command line arguments, but whenever it got to the sysimage it says Linux isn't a command.

I have a network of 2 WinXP machines and one linux box. I have fiddled around with the settings as you do when learning. The network is working. The network neighbourhood on the WinXP machines recognise the linux box and vice versa, (the linux Places|Network recognises the 2 WinXP). I can Ping the linux box using its hostname from a WinXp. But I cannot do the reverse. I get an 'unknown host' response. I can ping the linux to itself using its hostname.

I'm having an issue on two Fedora Core 13 machines where I can ping others by hostname, but the hostname resolution fails whenever I use ssh/scp/vnc/etc. I can still do these things by IP address, just not by hostname. RHEL5.3 machines on the same network with the same configuration do not seem to have this problem.
Here's the not-so-quick-and-dirty description of the situation:
I know that there is a virtual router at 192.168.31.1 and another at 192.168.30.1. I also know that there is another network (let's call it 90.90.90.0) and on that network lies a number of resources. By nature of this configuration, any machine on 90.90.90.0 can be accessed by any 192.168.x.x, but not the other way around. Beyond that is out of my hands and currently out of my scope of knowledge.
I have a dnsmasq server on 90.90.90.10 that operates as a secondary nameserver, another machine out of my sphere of influence is the primary nameserver (90.90.90.31).
The secondary nameserver on 90.90.90.10 holds the hostnames of our development machines. The problem is that in some cases, while I can ping by hostname all day long, services such as ssh, scp, vncviewer, etc all fail to resolve the hostname. In other cases I can do all of these things.
Every machine has an equivalent resolv.conf:
As an example, I will show the output of a handful of my development machines:
I also included columbia as a one-way test -- even though it cannot access 30.x or 31.x, they can access it:
columbia -- physical machine, Red Hat Enterprise 5.3, IP 192.168.100.200
Okay, so here are the various outputs. Remember, nibbler, discovery, and atlantis can ALL:
- Ping by IP address
- Ping by hostname
- ssh, scp, vnc, etc by IP addess
Additionally, the SERVFAIL reply from 90.90.90.31 is expected since my dnsmasq server is on the secondary server.
Note that the only machine that can both ping and ssh/scp/etc by hostname is nibbler, which also happens to be the only one of the three running RHEL5.3 instead of FC13. Other virtual and physical machines running on the 192.168.31.0 and 192.168.30.0 networks (all running RHEL5.3) work just like nibbler does. So the problem seems to only affect machines running FC13.
Final note: selinux is disabled, iptables is disabled, ip6tables is disabled.
Other than that, discovery is a brand-spanking-new install straight off of the FC13 DVD. atlantis has been around longer, but its just a file server so I haven't done anything too crazy to it.

So my Dell latitude E6400 running fedora 12 (2.6.32.11-99.fc12.i686.PAE) is usually connected to a big screen (1920x1200).
Now each time I boot, X becomes unresponsive shortly before or after login for a couple of minutes, and then goes back to normal. This happens both with and without connection to the big screen.
The error messages associated to this seem to be like this, my /var/log/Xorg.0.log is cluttered with them :
Code:
I normally start my computer in the morning, walk off for some tea, and come back when X is functioning, but when I'm in a hurry it's pretty, or very, annoying ... drinking tea / coffee to wait for a computer to start is something people did in the 90s, it shouldn't be default behaviour in 2010 ...

I have a Toshiba a105-s2236 laptop and am trying to install Fedora 14. Is there any way to tell Fedora not to look for the pcmcia slots on boot? My live CD is freezing at the point where it tries to probe the pcmcia socket IO port.
I tried adding the 3 to get to a console, but that fails as well. I had to add acpi=off to the kernel boot args to even get it to go this far.
Even using the nopcmcia option, it still tries to probe the socket's IO port.

My goal is to have a dual boot system with Windows and linux. When no floppy is loaded Windows should boot. When a linux boot floppy is loaded linux should boot.Windows (and its boot loader) are on hd0. I installed Fedora 10 to hd1 and had install put the boot loader on that drive. I followed the instructions in http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=150913 to make a boot floppy. But when I use the boot floppy the system brings up the grub prompt and stops.

I'm trying to ping another Ubuntu computer on my local network. If I try doing,ping <hostname>then I get the messageping: unknown host <hostname>however, if I doping <hostname>.localthen I get a response back. I was wondering how I can change it so that I can ping without having to append .localI've installed winbind and modified my /etc/nsswitch.conf file but this has made no difference.

I have an ubuntu 10.04 server with hostname "abc.domain.com". However, due to migration, we had to change to hostname to something else, "xyz".
I have done changing /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname and run /etc/init.d/hostname start.
Checking the hostname and all shows it is now using hostsname of xyz. However, email sending out is still using old hostname. We have some scripts that will send out alerts like failed rsync or hdd space full to my email account. But I see the sender is still "root@abc.domain.com".
How do change that to xyz? I am using postfix. I have edited main.cf and restarted postfix but no go.

I have been trying out different Linux distros to dual boot with Windows Vista. First I tried Ubuntu and it worked fine. Then I tried Fedora 15 and it worked fine as well. Then I went back to Ubuntu but now I have decided to stick with Fedora. The first time I installed Fedora it gave me options for choosing default OS and other things, now I can't remember how I did that and can't figure out how to do that agian. How do I do that agian? I want it to automatically boot into Windows Vista. I am installing Fedora on a seperate hard drive.

Hostname won't start on boot
I have had a problem where I had to edit in port 53 for the iptables which i think was strange.
Anyways.. On boot I am getting a error where my hostname won't start correctly which causes 110 and 143 to not work correctly.
After i boot I have to run
Then my mail seems to work..
GOAL - to get this to work on boot

We are having a cluster with couple of disk servers, compute nodes and a head node. Disk server is nfs mounted on all the compute and head nodes.
The problem is that if any of the disk servers hangs, it freezes rest of the cluster too which is dangerous. Ideally, cluster should not care about the hanged server and run without any problem except files from that server is not visible.
Is there any way I could avoid the problem of freezing cluster because of one hanged server?

I am a brand new ubuntu user, heard lots of good things about it so thought I would give it a go on my laptop. However, I have tried installations of Ubuntu 10.04 (notebook version) and Xubuntu. Yet on both attempts to install the OS it has stalled at the "Setting up the clock" dialogue box, it just sits at 0% and remains frozen (mouse still moves etc but nothing happens).
I really want to give Ubuntu / Xubuntu a go and my forum trawling has brought nothing to light so far.

I am using FC9 and internet is working fine on it.
Well, I ping to google, it is resolving but if I ping by hostname to other LAN computers. it gives error : unknown host.
But if i ping with IP address it is pinging.
NOTE :
1) My firewall is acting as a dns server and other windows systems are resolving it.
2) FC9 firewall is disabled.

Running Fedora 11.
Did get a Kimsufi dedicated server through [URL] When I did get it the hostname resolve does not work.
I have never got any of this problems before so this is my first time playing with the network settings.
Nothing works! Lynx, wget, yum and so on. IT works if I do enter the hostname by its IP. But thats not working in the long way

When I use Ubuntu, my DSL modem correctly gets the hostname I call my computer "mertensia", but I'm having issues with Fedora. Yet, when I look at the name assigned by the modem (using URL... in a web browser),I need the PC Name to be mertensia, because otherwise it will complicate how I ssh immensely.
