I have a problem after upgrade from F13 to F14. I used the DVD i386 Iso on my Netbook MSI Wind U100 but it's don't start. It's load the services and it's stuck in the Fedora logo. I boot into Runlevel 1 to see the logs but there is no error. Then I run init 5 and it's stuck after the service ATD load. I don't want to do a clean install.

Dot come back alive when I shut down system. Commands does not work. I can launch an older kernel but it is a pain, and I cant change boot order too, which is a big WAF issue. What can I check or do?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to upgrade my F11 system to F13 using preupgrade-cli. Can I do that directly, or should I first upgrade to F12 and then to F13?
I have read elsewhere that Anaconda can skip one but not two versions, is that correct? If so, I assume that moving directly from F11 to F13 is OK, right?
I upgraded F14 to F15 using installation DVD. I have been upgrading since F11 with no problems. Upgrade went well, no issue. After the reboot, the system hangs after the last line systemd.
These are last lines from boot.log:
Starting LSB: start and stop xinetd...
Started LSB: Mount and unmount network filesystems..
Starting Permit User Sessions...
Starting xinetd: Started Permit User Sessions.
Starting Display Manager...
Started Display Manager. [OK]
Started LSB: start and stop xinetd.
Right now I am on system rescue CD, can mount partitions and read logs. I would like to avoid fresh installation if possible.
I try to install Fedora 11 from DVD BUT after installation system is not booting. Windows XP is a 1st OS is already installed in my system.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI upgraded from F10 to F12 using preupgrade. The upgrade itself completed with no errors, but I'm unable to boot afterward.
Symptoms:...Grub starts, the initramfs loads, and the system begins to boot. After a few seconds I get error messages for buffer i/o errors on blocks 0-3 on certain dm devices (usually dm0 and dm2, but I can't get a shell to figure out what those are). An error appears from device-mapper that it couldn't read an LVM snapshot's metadata. I get the message to press "I" for interactive startup. UDEV loads and the system tries to mount all filesystems. Errors appear stating that it couldn't mount various LVM partitions. Startup fails due to the mount failure, the system reboots, and the steps repeat.
Troubleshooting done:...I have tried to run preupgrade again (the entry is still in my grub.conf file). The upgrade environment boots, but it fails to find the LVM devices and gives me a question to name my machine just like for a fresh install. I also tried booting from the full install DVD, but I get the same effect. Suspecting that the XFS drivers weren't being included, I have run dracut to create a new initramfs, making sure the XFS module was included. I have loaded the preupgrade environment and stopped at the initial GUI splash screen to get to a shell prompt. From there I can successfully assemble the raid arrays, activate the volume group, and mount all volumes -- all my data is still intact (yay!). I've run lvdisplay to check the LVM volumes, and most (all?) appear to have different UUIDs than what was in /etc/fstab before the upgrade -- not sure if preupgrade or a new LVM package somehow changed the UUIDs. I have modified my root partition's /etc/fstab to try calling the LVM volumes by name instead of UUID, but the problem persists (I also make sure to update the initramfs as well). From the device-mapper and I/O errors above, I suspect that either RAID or LVM aren't starting up properly, especially since prior OS upgrades had problems recognizing RAID/LVM combinations (it happened so regularly that I wrote a script so I could do a mkinitrd with the proper options running under SystemRescueCD with each upgrade).
I have tried booting with combinations of the rootfstype, rdinfo, rdshell, and rdinitdebug parameters, but the error happens so early in the startup process that the messages quickly scroll by and I just end up rebooting.
System details:4 1-TB drives set up in two RAID 1 pairs. FAT32 /boot partition RAIDed on the first drive pair. Two LVM partitions -- one RAIDed on the second drive pair and one on the remainder of the first drive pair. Root and other filesystems are in LVM; most (including /) are formatted in XFS.
I've made some progress in diagnosing the issue. The failure is happening because the third RAID array (md2) isn't being assembled at startup. That array contains the second physical volume in the LVM volume group, so if it doesn't start then several mount points can't be found.
The RAID array is listed in my /etc/mdadm.conf file and identified by its UUID but the Fedora 12 installer won't detect it by default. Booting the DVD in rescue mode does allow the filesystems to be detected and mounted, but the RAID device is set to be /dev/md127 instead of /dev/md2.
The arrays are on an MSI P35 motherboard (Intel ICH9R SATA chipset) but I'm using LInux software RAID. The motherboard is configured for AHCI only. This all worked correctly in Fedora 10.
I installed FC11 from installation cds twice and I'm having a problem with Firefox freezing the system. The mouse cursor will move but nothing else is responsive, including mouse buttons and keyboard.I checked the media on every disc and they all check fine.I never had this problem with FC10. I tried upgrading Firefox -- with the necessary dependency upgrades too but without success.I tried to downgrade to FC10 Firefox and ran into a great big hassle with that.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've had such good luck with Fedora (and this Forum), I'm attempting to put F12 on wife's brand new Sony Vaio, a VPCEB11FM, a 64bit system. I downloaded the Fedora-12-x86_64-netinst.iso, made sure it was ok with sha256.exe, then burned the image to DVD. Booted it up and let it default to "install or upgrade an existing system". It dead-ended in a dark blue or black screen. I re-started and examined the other options. Thought I'd try the one that says: "Install system with basic video driver". Got all the way through to where it got ready to start downloading files. Can't get past that point because it attempts to get to the Internet using the Sony's wireless card! Why would it try the wireless when there's a wired NIC card in this PC that requires no special driver etc. How to proceed from here?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been using ubuntu for a couple of years rather successfully on my dual-boot Vista/Ubuntu. It upgraded to 8.0(4?) LTS, 10.04LTS and I kept it there until this afternoon I followed the instructions on the ubuntu site to open up a terminal and update-manager --somearg to provide me with a nice little "Upgrade" button on the update manager. I clicked said button per the instructions, let it do it's downloading and whatever else it does. The last step of the installation is a system reboot. I let it do that, and then my grub menu comes up as more-or-less this:
Code:
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, kernel 2.6.32-32-generic
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, kernel 2.6.32-32-generic (recovery mode)

Other operating systems:
Windows Vista/Longhorn (loader)
If I select the top one, I get:
Code:
Starting up ...
with a blinking cursor under the S for a LONG time (used the power switch after ~40 mins). I tried the second 2.6.32-32 option for recovery mode. It spit a bunch of gibberish to the screen for a couple seconds and then stopped, presumably doing the same thing, just with 100% more gibberish. I tried booting into Vista, that worked fine. Just to reiterate, I've not yet seen a 10 LTS login screen or desktop, and can't get one yet (just a "Starting up ...") Just to add, I did try searching, but since the only info I had to go on was 8 LTS to 10 LTS upgrade, and "Starting up ...", well those are just hard keywords to get any meaningful info.
I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 server edition on AMD 64-bit machine. When I try to open system monitor(system->administration->system monitor) it's not starting.

I'd like to know so I can do it manually via the commandline.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm having trouble starting Fedora 14 on my computer. The startup procedure freezes while starting system logger. Before this started happening, I had formatted one of my logical disk partitions which is supposed to be mounted under the /var directory. I think may be the cause of this problem. However, I don't know how to fix it, as I can't get into the Linux command line to do a umount. I don't have a CD with which to repair the system, so is there any way to fix this problem without one?

I run three Ubuntu machines - work, home, and a laptop. All were on 9.04, and I was able over the past week to painlessly upgrade the first two to 9.10.Today I fired up the laptop for the first time in a while and saw that it hadn't had the upgrade yet, so went to the upgrade manager. It had a bunch of package upgrades it wanted to do, so I let it. But there was no option to go to 9.10, not even after catching it up on updates. It just says the system is up to date. Clicking "check" again just gives the same message. It doesn't seem to know that there's a koala out there.
Settings on the update manager say to accept normal releases, so it's not an LTS thing. Yes, it's on 9.04 now according to /etc/apt/sources.list. Network connectivity is good.What might I be missing that I ought to look for?
I upgraded several months ago from 8.04 to 9.10 and found my system slowed considerably.I thought I'd get used to it, but it just seems to really drag. I'd like some suggestions on how to downgrade or alternatively speed up the system (are there items I can "turn off" that can bring back the speediness of 8.04?).I'm considering wiping and re-installing, but getting my system back the way I want it is keeping me from doing that.
