Fedora :: Loading Freezes After Installation Of Kmod?
Sep 19, 2009
I installed fedora on my laptop and everything went fine, i installed my bradcom drivers and rebooted.
Next step was kmod for nvidia but when i rebooted i couldn't use fedora anymore cause loading freezes at some point. same thing happens to my desktop pc, where i solved the problem booting with an older kernel (this time i have an error saying "eth0 link not ready" or something like that). Everytime i try to boot with a more recent kernel loading freezes. The point is...i can go through with my desktop pc by choosing another kernel, but i can't even boot with my laptop.
I am trying to install Fedora 12 x64 on my 27" iMac 10,1. I have tried both the installation dvd and the gnome live cd (both x64 i did not try the x86). On the installation dvd I get as far as the menu giving me the boot/install options - I have tried to install both with a basic video driver and the regular install/upgrade option - both times it begins loading components for the installer program (/sbin/loader) etc. After it loads sbin/loader and mounts the partitions it freezes with half the screen being the terminal txt beforehand and the other half being just a standard fedora logo w/blue background. It is not much different when I try the live-cd the only different is it does the exact same thing when the timer for automatic login is done. Any possible command line arguments that I could use to stop the graphical corruption?
I'm trying to install Ubuntu 11.04 on this old desktop that is currently running WinXP. I get to the menu to choose to try ubuntu, install, or boot hard drive. I choose Install and it begins to load with those 5 dots then after a minute or so it just freezes on that screen. I then try to choose the "try" option and it does the same thing, although takes slightly longer before it freezes.I just happen to have a v8.10 disc laying around so I try that. I get to the same options menu, it loads, and then shows a black screen with a white blinking underscore. Same goes for when I use the "try" option.Specs:2.53GHz P41.5GB RAM250GB HDD
about 10 days ago i have update my f14 with the last kernel , but now i have some dependency problem and my wireless doesn't work with the new kernel ...
Code:
[root@atom ~]# uname -a Linux atom 2.6.35.9-64.fc14.i686 #1 SMP Fri Dec 3 12:35:42 UTC 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux [root@atom ~]# [root@atom ~]#
I am using grub4dos 0.44 but can't boot directly into Kubuntu. The bootup freezes at the step of reading the initrd. Can't copy 'n paste the exact bootup-message but it looks similar to this one, I found on another forum-thread:
Code: Filesystem type is fat, partition type 0x06 [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x1400, size=0xcff87] Unlike the guy who posted the two lines above, I installed Kubuntu on an ext3-partition (hd0,5), (which is /dev/sda6 in Ubuntu) and without an own bootloader, since I wanna use grub4dos instead of grub2. The installation is fresh - the initrd-file shouldn't be broken. My menu.lst looks like this:
I recently upgraded from Hardy to 9.10 Kubuntu. The install went smoothly, and when I boot up, the loading screen (the one with the progress bar) does its thing. Then I see the 'waiting' cursor (in Kubuntu, the two dots chasing each other around in a circle). I see this for about two to three seconds, then the entire thing freezes up and I can't do anything, including switching to a virtual console. How do I figure out my system's dying words so I can figure out what's going wrong? As a (sort of) aside, when I open files in /var/log for reading with cat <file> | less, I have to Page-Down a whole bunch to get to the most recent stuff. Is there a way to jump to the bottom, or read with something other than what I have been using?
tried to install 11.04 using wubi and wouldnt work so created a boot disk and did it that way: the boot disk loads but it freezes after the loading dots
I have just upgraded the hard drive in my laptop with a new one that isn't about to crash (I dropped the laptop a few months back). After installing Fedora 12, the first thing I did was try to install kmod-nvidia and all its dependencies. Upon rebooting Fedora goes to the boot splash, and then when the login screen should display it instead shows a blank black terminal like screen. Do diagnose this I logged in under terminal (tty3) and proceeded to try to start X manually. It displayed an error to the effect of 'could not load Nvidia kernel module Nvidia_module.so3'. I figured it must have been a glitch so I reinstalled kmod and the same thing happened. Tried reinstalling Fedora all together and still the same result. I am getting kmod from the RPM Fusion repo
I just installed F14 which generally went well. I then did an install of kmod-nvidia and now the system hangs on start up. I see a couple of warnings and failures regarding the nvidia.ko module, and then the startup script stops after Starting atd: [OK] The screen flashes a couple of times and then is non-responsive. I can't even seem to get to the command line to back out the kmod-nvidia installation.
After a fresh install of Lucid I found this error on my screen "the panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_NetstatusApplet" do you want to delete it?" I kept pressing no and having a completely worthless system. The programs were all opening in the left corner with no controls to move or close them.
I was not able to install any version of Ubuntu. Everytime when the splash screen would appear, the computer would freeze and no hard drive activity would be present. The only way was to use the alternate install version of Ubuntu 10.10. Though, the splash screen problem persists. After the Ubuntu boot screen disappears, the splash screen appears with the coursor. About 3 seconds later it becomes unresponsive and the hard drive light stops showing activity. After reading a lot, I think it's my video card driver. I'm a complete newbie, so any commands need to be written out so I can just type in and cross my fingers. I can boot into the GRUB recovery mode. I log in and have a text based setup at this point.You know, I can type sudo commands and all that jazz. How can I fix my video? The graphics is not integrated. It's a 32mb nvidia TNT2 PRO.
Every time I load my conky file, the screen just freezes. I have tried different conky script but still not working. I also provide some screen shot to have better idea whats going on. [URL]. This is the script I am using right now:

I'm using Arch with the latest updates and I'm pretty sure this is a software problem.Basically about one out of five times my system freezes at "Grub Loading Stage 2". Whenever this happens, I usually just reset my box with the reset button and it will boot up just fine the next time.I originally put it down to being a defect in my hard drive which is probably three years old now at least. However, last week I bought a brand new 1.5TB drive. I removed my old drive and am using only my new one. Same problem.I Googled for this problem and found a bunch of posts with the same issue as I'm having, yet all of those issues are with people that dual boot with Windows. I don't. I only have Arch and no other OS on my system. I then tried reinstalling Grub and that doesn't seem to have solved it.I'm hoping someone can help me out with this. I hope it's not a hardware problem. Any help is VERY appreciated as this problem makes me worry that something worse is going on.
When I try booting my computer under Ubuntu, it freezes whenever it gets to the part of the purple loading screen (with the Ubuntu logo and the red/white dots indicator). I won't load any further, but I can still turn it off by pressing the power button. Has someone else got this problem? Ubuntu was my main partition, and I don't have any practical way to make a hard install.
I am having problems opening and printing word 97/2000 formatted documents that were saved using OpenOffice in Maverick. If I try to open one of these files in openOffice for Lucid, it causes OpenOffice to freeze every time. If I save the files in OpenOffice format and share them between Maverick and Lucid - everything works fine. Anyone know what might be causing OpenOffice in Lucid to freeze when loading word 97/2000 files?
Installed Debian Live 8.3.0 on my laptop .... To my surprise It did not find my Intel Pro Wifi adapter.......IWLWIFI
I needed to download the IWLWIFI package, however to my second surprise synaptic did not have it! So manually went into a repo, found it , and installed it with DPKG.
According to WIKI [URL] ....
"As the iwlwifi module is automatically loaded for supported devices, reinsert this module to access installed firmware: # modprobe -r iwlwifi ; modprobe iwlwifi"
To my third surprise , modprobe command not found. After doing some investigation, I discovered that all these commands:
lsmod(8), rmmod(8), insmod(8), modinfo(8), modprobe(8), depmod(8) have been removed and replaced by KMOD
KMOD is not a very friendly, it's kmod -- support is useless, so looked for it's manpage : [URL] ....
To my fourth surprise, there was not much support either:
KMOD(8) kmod KMOD(8)

So far I am very disappointed with this latest DEBIAN 8.3.0 edition
--no driver included for a very common IWLWIFI (used by 13 adapters) --utilities to add drivers removed ( lsmod(8), rmmod(8), insmod(8), modinfo(8), modprobe(8), depmod(8)) --the so called "replacement" KMOD is poorly documented and totally useless
Having downloaded the DVD iso which failed to burn correctly I decided to try a live X86_64 iso, and installed from that. This was fine and I had set everything up apart from the nvidia drivers( nouveau worked but with no 3d for desktop effects). The card is a 7300LE and was working fine with kmod-nvida in F12. Following the instructions that leigh provides a howto for as usual I thought I would finish off the install. However I had several errors show up, which unfortuantely I did not keep a note of concerning dracut. On the restart the install was trashed, just froze solid in plymouth. Having been here before I decided that I would just do a complete reinstall again and investigate further what is going wrong later.
Having now a really nice slick F13 with all my servers set up etc and now running under nouveau I have just decided to check out dracut dependencies with the following: rpm -qR dracut-005-3.fc13
This gives:
Checking through the list of installed software I am unable to locate the following:
Though rpmlib is installed which may well be for the various rpmlib()'s above, I cannot see any package for fileutils,mktemp or mount in the repo's.
I got my nvidia drivers for my Fedora 11 64 bit system from RPMFusion.But each time my kernel is upgraded, X stops working because I don't have the proper module installed. Previously I booted an earlier kernel and installed the proper nvidia kernel module, and all was well. But this time with kernel vmlinuz-2.6.30.9-96.fc11.i686.PAE, I don't yet have the corresponding kernel module.So I have to make do for the moment with an earlier kernel.
But in the process I discovered the metapackage kmod-nvidia-185-18.36-1.ff11.3.x86_64, and installed it.It has no files, and according to the information blurb, its sole purpose is to keep the installation of the kernel and the kernel module in sync.Does anyone know how this works?Is the kernel not installed until the corresponding kernel module is available?Also, it hasn't even been 24 hours, so I guess I should be patient, but how long is it likely to be before the kernel module for tthe new kernel is available?
I installed Kmod just earlier today. I also updated everything else today. After i rebooted, the text boot said "enabling nvidia driver [ok]", but it never leaves the text boot! It freezes after "Registering binary handler for Windows applications: [ok]".
just updated to new 2.6.33.124 kernel along with some other updates to python and boy what a mess! I can't run at all with the new kernel (the kernel appears to load but stops before the xserver loads, I think)I really don't think this is a generally problematic bug though, i'm afraid that this setup is just fusty since I have been having trouble with metacity (causes the cpu to spin up --metaphorically of course--to ridiculous amounts until I kill the process, which it happily does without actually killing it but it does spin down again to 2-3% from 60% or so) and the python update seems to have killed the nVidia setup and 3D as well. so.... anybody have any suggestions on how to straighten this mess out without setting up again? This is actually the second time I set this up since the metacity bug made me thing it was fusty the first time, but a second setup didn't solve it.
I did turn the metacity bug in as a kernel bug (because it was in some way related to massive kernel ticks which was keeping the cpu going, but have had no response to that, unless this latest update did that.
Every time I attempted to run "yum update" dependencies failed to resolve citing kernel version problems. I cleaned out a bunch of old versions of kmod-wl that were still on my system (some dating back to my old f12 install) and still had no luck. Finally I removed kmod-wl altogether so that I could update the rest of my system and hoped I could just re-install it once the update was finished. No dice. "yum install kmod-wl" still produces this message (identical to what "yum update" gave when the old kmod-wl was installed):
I've been scouring google, using all forms of guides to try and get these damn nvidida drivers installed so I can move my resolution from 800x600 to 1280x1024 (I have a small monitor) I'm running a NVidia GeForce 260 GTX. I've executed yum update I've run rpm - [URL] and everything installed. I've edited grub.conf to disable the default drivers.
getting KVM Kernel modules installed under Fedora 14? I'm trying to do a post-installation setup of KVM. I'm getting the "No package kmod-kvm available." error, when doing "yum install kmod-kvm".
Yesterday I ran updates that moved me from kernel Fedora (2.6.34.7-61.fc13.i686.PAE) to Fedora (2.6.34.7-63.fc13.i686.PAE). After reboot my system hangs trying to start X. I can use altF2 and log in that way but when I try to start X it fails - no screen found. I backed off to my previous kernel and used the package manager to remove the updated kernel and noticed that when it uninstalled it did not take any kmod packages with it. I assume not having an associated kmod may have been the problem? If so, how do I find the correct one to install?

I have not had this problem on this machine since the days of fedora 1. The problem is that there is not kmod-nvidia driver for the current kernel in the rpmfusion repo, nor akmod can build one at boot up. Looking at the log files, akmods spits this error message:

I am running a fresh installation of Fedora 13 on a 64 bit machine. I have an ATI Radeon HD5750 video card, and I want to install drivers for it. I have tried following Leigh's guide, but I have run into a problem. I cannot install kmod-catalyst because of the following error:
