Fedora :: System Hangs On Start Up / What To Fix It?
Nov 20, 2010
I don't know what I did, but for some reason my fedora system hangs on the OS startup when I use my default kernel. I can still use my other kernel to startup the system though, so it's more of an inconvenience really, but any help fixing it would be appreciated.
The default kernel is Fedora (2.6.34.7-61.fc13.i686) when I start up using this kernel the system hangs(I think I using the right term here, but not sure) after these messages code...

I've been using Ubuntu for quite a while, several years, though several upgrades. Experimented with various things, uninstalled some and various other messy activities. Some things don't work as well as they used to. Sometimes my system crashes, or hangs for a while before coming back. I still get a KDE screen when I shut down, though I attempted to uninstal that desktop. I would like to start over, that is with as little trouble possible to reinstall from scratch. Have to save my user directories, also the directories for my LAMP applications.

The title says it all.I'm not much for the command line so I really don't know how to debug this.Any help would be appreciated .It was working fine then I had some updates and now the window opens but It is just blank.deluge never fully starts.Transmission starts and I was using it for a while but it never worked as well as deluge.no where near for that matter. It was very slow and seemed to choke itself.

Last time I installed the ATI graphics driver on my PC, it was'nt working fine so I uninstalled that driver. I restarted the PC after uninstalling the driver but then, when PC boots and start running the services the screen just hangs and I don't get into the desktop.
I tried to run the xfs service using service xfs restart and also gdm service using service gdm restart, but in both the cases it shows that Unrecognized Service. So, I think it means that the package for xfs and gdm service is not available in my PC. Is that so?
I tried to get into the desktop by running startx but it gave the following error :-
Fatal Server Error: no screen found
consult the fedora project support at [URL] for help.
check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional information.
giving up
xinit: connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to X server
xinit: no such process (errno 3): server error.

I booted up the computer (Fedora 11) and it hung at the blue screen with the F bubble in the middle. I waited for quite sometime without any change to the system I held down the power button to power off and tried starting the computer again with the same result.
When the sytem reboots and I press alt+ctrl+2 i see messages like below on the black screen:Unknown username "root" in message bus configuration file.Could not get password database....Failed to start message bus: Could not get UID and GID for username "dbus"..Please help me get the system up. I saved some data and did not take a backup. Is there's a way I can restore my system to a previous date? Or backup my data somehow?

Problem with FC13 on a 64 bit box...tried to get Tor and Polipo going and at boot, the system hangs as soon as Polipo starts up. I need to adjust or delete the Polipo service but can't seem to get to any kind of a terminal either...it used to be just hit ctl-alt-and and F key and it dropped to a term. Now that's not happening. Can I do that? And...alternatively, can I force a skip of the Polipo service as it's booting?

I am running FC12 64bit. Frequently the system hangs usually one app - Thunderbird. If I have Firefox up also, it seems to run fine. The light indicating disk access is on almost constantly. Is there a way to find out what process is accessing which disk? I have 4 hds installed - 2 IDE and 2 SATA. I am having a similar problem trying to do a reboot - it does not reboot within 15 minutes. I need to hit the reset button.

everything else seems well with my FC13-x86-64 except firefox (3.6.4 and earlier versions too) VERY frequently hangs the whole system. only the mouse still working, keyboard not responding to ctrl-alt-del, ctrl-alt-function or any other key and even num-lock won't turn the led on. system is still remotely accessible through ssh so I can issue a reboot. same thing may have occurred with thunderbird but only once or twice and probably firefox was also running then. no problems so far with google chrome (but I have no flash plugin for that). FC5-x86-32 on my old PC has never had any of these problems.

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.

As most of us know when you start the machine with the Install Disc in the drive you get a menu that reads:
Welcome To Fedora 15!
Install a new system or upgrade an existing system
Install system with basic video driver
Rescue installed system
Boot from local drive
Memory test
But when you try to boot the install DVD on and EFI based Mac...you only get
Booting Fedora 15 in 3...2...1 ...and then the system hangs.
If any users are having trouble with Fedora Install Media...you can usually use the Install Media from a previous release! In this case, I used the Fedora 14 (64-Bit) disc to install Fedora 15 by simply replacing the 'F14' with a 'F15' in the URLs of the Install and Update repository dialog boxes.

I have installed Fedora 12 as a workstation successfully, my hardware specification is Pentium 4 system with 2.8 GHz Processor having 512 MB Ram, which has 80 GB HDD, the primary partition where fedora 12 is installed is 20 GB, in primary part my root part is 5 GB, having 2 GB Swap part, also has Home partition which has 12 GB.
The system installed in KDE mode and works nicely, but after 30 or 40 minutes, it is hanged. I don't know why, then I restart the system to resolve it.

I got an Asus M3A78-T motherboard last year, along with a Phenom 9650 CPU and 2GB of RAM. I originally tried to install Sabayon, but it would occasionally hang while running. I decided to give Fedora another try (wasn't happy with FC4 a few years back) at the constant chiding of my friend.
My first try was with the x86_64 Fedora 10 ISO, using an IDE hard drive and CDROM. It would hang a little bit into something like 'copying system files, at the same place every time. Thinking it was a bad burn, bad iso, or something (checksum and image verification passed) I went ahead and got the DVD ISO. The DVD would always hang a little bit into "Formatting file system." At this point, I have tried EVERY other combination of hardware - swapped out ram, CPU, PS, bought SATA hard drive and DVDROm drive, unplugged the mouse, and even the case pigtails for USB and Firewire. It always hangs in the same place. Somewhere along the process, I took the motherboard back and exchanged it for a new one. Still fails, and in exactly the same place.
The system hang is a hard lockup. Mouse freezes, no keyboard activity (even LED status changes.) The drive activity LED will go out and the progress bar stops advancing.
I'm surprised I'm not seeing anyone else with this problem - I thought this board was a bit more prevalent, but I'm guessing not! What's my next step? I would create a bug report, but I don't know what subsystem is causing the hang. I suspect SATA drivers, but I'm not sure how to test that.
And one other clue - I get a scrambled video screen before it comes up to the first X install screen:
It only lasts for 5 seconds or so, then comes up okay.

I have just made a clean installation of FC12. The only change I have made for now is to disable the NetworkManager and set a static ip address. My problem is that when I click "shutdown" it doesn't complete the shutdown and hangs due to some kind of kernel error. Then I have to use the power-switch to shut it down. It doesn't happen every time, but it happens often (every 3rd shutdown or so).
I get this error-messages on the screen:
Code:
Unmounting file systems:[OK]
Halting system...
--------[ cut here ]-----------
kernel BUG at kernel/time/clockevents.c:262!
invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP

Pid: 1809, comm: hal Not tainted (2.6.31.12-174.2.22.fc12.i686 #1) OptiPlex GX270
This is exactly whats described here: [URL].

Just upgraded from FC11 to 13 a few days ago and came across a wierd problem with firefox. When downloading files thru firefox, Firefox starts consuming more and more memory/cpu cycles until the system hangs. This only happens when downloading thru firefox. Doesnt take too long either. Otherwise everything else works fine.

I had installed Fedora 12. Initially it used to work fine. But then, every morning I start it, the system hangs after booting, I could only get a stable session after 2-3 reboots. This regularly happened and one fine morning, my system finally crashed. What could be the reason? Should I re-install F-12

I have a problem with the kernel update to 2.6.34.6. Up until 2.6.33.x my system boots fine, but with this update the boot stops at the moment that the mouse cursor should become visible. To resolve the problem, I've gone back to 2.6.33.x and removed the 2.6.34 kernel but I wonder what happens with the next kernel update.
Anyone else having this problem?

I am having difficulty loading fedora 14 with nvidia 7300gt. I have lots of text on the screen but I cannot enter anything then system hangs there only. The same system runs fine with windows XP The same system runs fine when I use onboard graphic card and disable nvidia. I installed the fedora 14 by disabling nvidia graphic card and used onboard grphic card. I had exactly the same problem with ubuntu, I was not even able to boot from live cd with nvidia. Now I want to use my nvidia graphic card for fedora.

I upgraded from FC10 to FC11 yesterday.I had no problems using FC11 after I looked into the bootloader (not intuitive - Ha!).Tried to boot up this morning; and things seemed to work well until I tried to call up Firefox (added a few themes yesterday).The window pops open; but the computer freezes on the spot with an alarm (generic "beep", w/o the finishing "p").Tried it with Epiphany; and I get the same results with the exception of actually getting to the Home Page.Yum works for the most part - I reinstalled Firefox (no effect); but couldn't reinstall epiphany (keeps saying "there is no such package - did you mean 'epiphany'". No typos on my part - go figure). Doing Software/Package Updates (via System Menu) freezes the box as well.Did it with the system monitor on. It doesn't appear to be related to CPU Usage.
Had a FC10 liveUSB and used it for awhile (e.g. to check out the forums). After giving my ISP some grief about downloading speed, immediately received a note from their Abuse Department, saying that my machine had been infected with a virus and had been sending spam emails (post upgrade to FC11).

Having a problem with my system hanging after updating Fedora 12. Here are my system specs:
Gigabyte MA770-UD3 motherboard
AMD Phenom 9950 Quad Core
6 gig Corsair DDR 800
1 x 160 gig SATA (OS)
1 x 500 gig SATA (data)
I have my system configured for dual boot with Windows 7. After installing F12, I can reboot with no problem. However, after I install the kmod-nvidia drivers, my system hangs on reboot. If I press any key on the keyboard, it will start to load, the freeze until I press a key again. I have tried both Fedora 12 x64 and i386 with the same results. Here are the steps that I took to install the kmod-nvidia drivers code...
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong?

The Fedora Directory Service LDAP database administration console was working okay until I rebooted the server.
- dirsrv starts okay
- but dirsrv-admin just freezes without any error messages.
How I should get started to fix it?

When ever I am starting my system at run level 5, it stops booting the machine at a particular point. After starting all the services & before taking user account and password, the fan speed of the cpu increases at faster rate and then after sometime the system automatically stops down.
I have also checked with other run levels, it works fine. I have also gone thru run level 3 and then used the command "startx" but still its not working and the system stopped automatically by making the fan speed up to a high. Primary memory 2 GB.

I just did a fresh install of Fedora 15 last weekend. Since then I haven't had any problems with it except of course a few bug reports every now and then.Today, out of the blue, my system start freezing, giving me no choice but to hard reboot.As a particularity when the system freezes I can still move the cursor on the screen but everything else seizes to respond.It happens every time within 10 minutes after reboot, and even sooner if I launch the internet browser (behaves the same with both Firefox and Epiphany) or if I open a video file.

When booting Fedora 11, my system hangs for a very long time on starting udev. Sometimes I get an I/O error. However, my hardware is fine. I do eventually get in to the system.

I've just installed F15 KDE Edition, and as the title tells, I need to keep pressing F2 and/or Enter to make the system go through the boot up process, otherwise it freezes as long as i keep it without my interference !! and then it takes relatively long time to start the GUI, and when I switch to the console (using ALT + CTRL + F3 for example) and try to write the login or the password, there seem to be some 'bouncing' effect, that if I'm to write the login 'root', I get something like 'rrooott' ... however, this doesn't happen in the GUI .....
I have a multiboot system, with Windows7 and Linux Mint (based on ubuntu 10.4) installed along side. While Windows7 doesn't have any problem with my hardware, Linux mint has also some issues that cause the performance of media players to degrade (sound and video tearing) and cause repeated freezes to some applications (a game actually, 'wesnoth') until I press a key or move the mouse.
I have AMD Athlon 7750 dual core 2.7 GHz system, with 3GB DDR2 800 Ram, and embedded ATI Radeon HD 3200 with about 512 shared memory.
one more thing, when I booted off the live image to run the install program, I booted into the video failsafe mode (not sure of the exact name, but I think you got it, no mode setting) and passed the option 'noapic', so I suppose this options are still passed whenever I boot mysystem, as I get the text version of the progress bar during startup, rather then the graphical fedora logo ( i.e no mode setting) ..

I had a coworker (now former coworker) set up a machine for me about 6 years ago so I could run a web server from my house. He put on Fedora Core (release 1 kernel 4.4.22-1.2115 on i686), MySQL, PHP, and Coppermine - which I use to run the web site. I have done pretty much NOTHING to this machine except upload images via my Windows computers since it was created.
I do know I have logged into a nice pretty interface once or twice when I had to configure the DNS when I switched my home network setup (changed sub domains etc...) Yesterday I was logged in and in a misguided attempt to get VNC and Samba working and upon reboot I managed to screw it up so that I no longer have any interface outside of the plain on text screens I would see if I connected via Putty (or some other means like that).
As you've figured out, I'm so far from knowing anything about Linux that I'm pretty much dead in the water here. I do know that my services are all still working (the web site is still serving up pages) and I can connect just fine, but any attempt to StartX results in: /usr/X11R6/bin/X: /lib/tls/libc.so.6: version 'GLIBC_2.3.4' not found (required by /usr/X11R6/bin/X)
And I have no idea what to do about it. I did download and (attempt) to install XFree86 at some point (installation instructions for VNC seemed to indicate this was a necessary step) and don't even have anything on my machine related to that version of GLIBC (the problem maybe?). Anyway, I'm frustrated, and beginning to think I'm screwed, and I suspect that there's no "UNDO" button for this mess
