I guess I'll need the logs from +that first boot to debug things. + +Some questions: + 1. Ideally, if you can reproduce this, can you add the following to the +kernel command line before first boot: "systemd.log_level=debug +systemd.log_target=kmsg" (it will obviously require a reinstall. I +suspect this could be related to +<A HREF="https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4772">https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4772</A> but as I've not been able +to reproduce this on any of my VMs, I suspect it may need some real +laptop h/w to reproduce which I don't have easy access to - I can switch +disks in my laptop but it's not exactly easy :s) + + 2. Does the boot properly hang? What is the resolution? Does it just +sit there forever and never timeout in a kind of deadlock? Can you get +to tty2 to login? + + 3. Assuming you cannot login, do the reboot and grab the +/var/log/dmesg.old file (as this will have the debug from the first +boot). If you can login, then just grab the /var/log/dmesg file. + +Sorry I can't offer any more helpful advice until I can debug. But this +could be two separate and maybe (possibly related) issues that are being +debugged here: first boot hang and X config. It could be that the first +boot hang cause harddrake to be unable to do what it was supposed to on +first boot and thus left things in a less than ideal state for X setup? + +Col + +-- + +Colin Guthrie +colin(at)mageia.org +<A HREF="http://colin.guthr.ie/">http://colin.guthr.ie/</A> + +Day Job: + Tribalogic Limited <A HREF="http://www.tribalogic.net/">http://www.tribalogic.net/</A> +Open Source: + Mageia Contributor <A HREF="http://www.mageia.org/">http://www.mageia.org/</A> + PulseAudio Hacker <A HREF="http://www.pulseaudio.org/">http://www.pulseaudio.org/</A> + Trac Hacker <A HREF="http://trac.edgewall.org/">http://trac.edgewall.org/</A> +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="014402.html">[Mageia-dev] Important and urgent: people with ati cards needed on beta3 pre release qa +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="014393.html">[Mageia-dev] LSB init scripts question. +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#14403">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#14403">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#14403">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#14403">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
