Software :: F14 Hangs On Reboot After Update?
Apr 16, 2011
fedora 14 did an automatic update and on reboot it hangs displaying the "f" before the login menu. The "f" is how I now feel......... I do "fn+f2" as it is booting and it displays the sequence of loading items which report all is "ok" until it gets to "jexec services" and then it hangs. I beleive the "jexec service" is a Sun Java item but I am not sure. I have been using Fedora successfully for a number of months and need to get data from the machine.

Computer hangs and sometimes won't reboot.
When it hangs I have seen this message a few times:
o[4348] EXT3-fs error (device sda1) ext3_get_imode_loc : unable to read inode block_inode = 14720620 block = 58753255
Also when the machine boots up I get a message saying something about IOMMU should be set in BIOS, but I can not find any such setting in BIOS. I do not know if this is related to the hanging.
I thought I had a hard drive problem at first so I tried a different hard drive. Same problem.
The mother board is an ASRock N68C-S.
One other thing, where is the file located that boot up messages are written to?

My old laptop has a broken screen. I tried using an external flat screen and win-xp would not run this screen. This is how I came to learn about Ubuntu. I loaded Ubuntu 9.4 and the computer worked with the external screen. The only problem was that during the boot process the (kernel text?) the white text on black screen over ran the edges of the external screen. Once the Ubuntu was loaded the window fit the screen perfect. Now my new problem. After a year of perfect use, the battery ran down and the computer shut itself off.
When I put the charger back on and rebooted the laptop, the ubuntu partly opens then hangs up on the kernal (white text on black screen) because of the screen overrun problem I can not read the text. I can boot still boot from the 9.4 CD. Is there anyway I can correct the problem by re-installing 9.4 but not wiping out my person data and files. In other words is there any way to repair the O/s that is defective, without losing my work?

Have openSUSE 11.1 and (AFAIK) KDE 4 on an older notebook; worked OK for weeks, then booting became a problem and the OS seemed to go to sleep between keystrokes: now the cursor stops blinking, the clock stops running, and nothing happens after clicking a radio button until the mouse moves. Am now 25 minutes into a reboot, hung at "Unmounting file systems" but it also hung for a while when changing run levels. Is this related to the stability problems with 11.1 I've read about? Possibly KDE? Where would I adjust a config to use kde 3.5 rather than 4?

I am using Ubuntu 9.10. Every time I try to reboot my system it hangs. Shutdowns work properly. I've done multiple re-installations. Nothing I've tried fixes the problem. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Ran the updater, went to boot to Win7 to use Photoshop and realized that the grub menu was gone. Ubuntu boots by default now. I tried running "sudo update-grub" at a virtual terminal and while it listed the various linux kernels ok, it then got caught in a loop spitting out some crazy looking errors. I rebooted and Ubuntu came up fine. I tried running "sudo update-grub" again from the gnome terminal and it hangs the whole computer for a few minutes and finally gives me this:

I have Dell Studio 540 desktop and Debian Lenny installed on it:
2.6.26-2-amd64 #1 SMP Tue Mar 9 22:29:32 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
The problem is that I can't reboot it. It just hangs after "Will now restart" message.
I've already tried: reboot=b, reboot=a, reboot=h kernel options.
Additional info (I can provide any other information):

I am running 9.04 Server (standalone). It had been running fine since I installed in last autumn. Upon reboot, fsck of the root filesystem was forced and it hangs at the same point (16.5%) every time. I was able to break out somehow with cntl-alt-del but the boot was to a read-only filesystem. So I couldn't disable the forced fsck. Instead, I tried to fsck there. It started, but hung. I couldn't do e2fsck -v as it needed the device and, although I worked on UNIX systems for decades, I am not familiar with the /dev/mapper stuff.
Looking at other threads, all involving the desktop GUI Ubuntu, I tried some of the suggestions. Went into the BIOS to see what I could disable. I killed the serial port and similar. (Some said that onboard modems interfered with the checks in /dev.) I also tried to boot from my original installation disk. That does work.The suggestion is to choose "Try without any change to your computer". The problem is that is not available on the server installation, apparently only the desktop (GUI). I had install, check CD for defects, test memory, boot from first hard disk, and something like repair or recover a broken disk. I started the last of them, as it seemed to be the only option. It failed because it couldn't get a dhcp address. I could manually configure it (as it is hard addressed anyway), but I didn't want to start screwing up configurations not knowing where it was going, whayt it would ry to do, and risk losing months of hard work.
Without help, I think I will be forced to install the OS on a second drive, use that install to fsck the original filesystem on the original disk, edit the fstab (or whichever has the config) on the original disk to disable fsck, and return to the original boot.I am building this server for a nonprofit and have put in many hours writing mysql/perl apache cgi code for them as a free service and hate to lose it all and set back everything.

I'm on an HP Pavillion dv1000 laptop. I used a live CD to install Ubuntu 10.10 to an external USB hard drive. The install completed successfully, but after a reboot I am stuck on a black screen with a white cursor. Before that I see nothing but the initial HP startup screen. I am able to run the live CD without problems, and I have been running Ubuntu from a 4GB thumb drive (which I installed on using the same live CD that I used to install on my current external hard drive). I had no problems whatsoever running from the CD or thumb drive, so I can't figure out why the external hard drive would be so different.

The server hangs or reboots when I install Fedora 13 x86 (32-bit) from DVD onto a quad core server (64GB of mem, 16 cores). Sometimes it gets as far as starting anaconda before the hang or reboot. I've been trying different combinations of kernel options, such as vesa, pci=msi, irqfixup, max_add=3072M, noapic, nolapic, noirqbalance, maxcpu=2...
But whatever I do, it hangs or it reboots. The 64 bit versions of RHEL5.5 and RHEL 6 Beta2 installs without problems.

I installed Ubuntu in my PC alongside winXP. I downloaded the ISO and mounted it using a virtual image software (PowerISO used in winXP). I installed Ubuntu using wubi in a 20GB partition. During installation it asked me how much space should I give, I gave it 11gb. Everything went fine. I rebooted but now the computer hangs during startup. I went to verbose mode to see what the error is and found out that everything is ok. The last line that apears is "Setting sensors limit [OK]" and then nothing happens. I have tried every option (safe graphic mode/ demo mode etc etc) but the computer hangs.

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?

I have recently rebooted after applying weeks of updates and I cannot login through ssh. In the /var/log/secure log it shows the public key is accepted but the session never gets to a bash prompt and ctrl-c must be issued from the connecting xterm. I have tried to connect from several other redhat and ubuntu machines all with the same result.

Why does it seem now I have to reboot after EVERY update ? I have been a Fedora user for YEARS !! I am on Fedora 11. It seems now that I get updates sometimes 3 to 6 times per week and it always has an icon to reboot !! I can't run a stable web server/DNS/email/NAS server if I have to reboot every day !! Why is every update requiring a reboot now ?

I recently downloaded 11.2 to a flash drive and while updating it from online the updates hangs at 48% and the last line reads:
Installing ./rpm/x86_64/libexpat1-32bit-2.0.1-92.4.1.x86_64.rpm: "XML Parser Toolkit"
This fist loading bar is at 100% and total is at 48%.
Is there a way to safely exit this program it appears to be frozen.

When running Update Manager in KDE, it always hangs at 66/67 files, and I have to click cancel. I then get:

Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

I have a strange issue. The only time I have trouble with yum is when awstats is included in an update. When it is, it always hangs on it when it gets to it. Yum will not complete. I have to cancel out... kill the yum pid and do it again. Tonight I did a yum-complete-transaction to do some unfinished actions - one included the removal of an old awstats - it hung on that.

After my most recent update, the boot sequence hangs at:"a start job is running for Create Volatile files and directories" with a timer and no limit .. I let it go for 12 minutes, but nothing.It seems as long as this sequence remains, the boot process does not finish and just hangs here.I haven't been able to find anything specific to this. I currently cannot boot into this machine, though do have access to files via dual boot.

I did an update recently and it won't continue booting past a certain point - which I think is rather strange, the last message I can manage to see is:
Code:
* Starting init crypto dicks...
No. That's not a typo. I couldn't believe my own eyes - I took a picture: [URL]
I can guarantee you this is not a joke. I suspect my video card is aging on me as I get a 'London Pound" symbol on my CLI terminal sometimes.
Anyway, that's not the real issue for me. I cannot start into 2.6.31-17, but I can start into 2.6.31-16 - is anyone else having this problem?
Edit: Restarting doesn't give me the crypto dicks thing but I still get another common error:
Code:
init: ureadahead-other main process (###) terminated with status 4

I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 on a desktop. I then did the system updates and on the reboot the system now hangs at the splash screen before the login screen. I only get a blinking cursor on the text-based terminals. I don't see the grub menu, I assume because Ubuntu is the only OS on this machine. So I can't boot to single user or text-only mode.

I ran apt-get update to fetch firefox5. I didn't updated ubuntu since long so it down loaded around 280 updates including firefox. Now while installing I saw once EULA acceptance message for Microsoft ttf font installation, this message window doesn't have any button etc to confirm, so I did ctrl+c to exit, and then "apt-get" seems to have terminated in terminal.But I checked that it is still running in the background in process list, not sure active process or not.
I did rebooted PC assuming update might have completed. Now after reboot it boots up to the login prompt, but I don't see any cursor movement or key stroke effect. It just stays there and then after some time shuts down, with flashing error message relate to "Init.." i couldn't read it completely.
