jbyers: end of quote re "scsi_mod.scan=sync" Important Note: mkinitrd-6.0.71-3.fc10 fixes the issue above!! Please update your system after fixing manually, or better after booting using the kernel argument "scsi_mod.scan=sync" !!! --- Craig: If you read Bill Nottingham's comment (# 19), the solution seems far easier.. ---- jbyers: <<#19 in the bugreport Bug 473305 - Booting from SCSI/RAID device fails Comment #19 From Bill Nottingham 2008-12-19 12:09:08 EDT Install the update mkinitrd and remake your initrd ----- Craig: You would have to get a boot up and into a virtual console.
Either... A. let it boot up until the screen disappears... press <Control><Alt><F2> or B. Press a key at the grub prompt and highlight the kernel with the arrow keys and press the letter 'e', move down to the kernel line and press the letter 'e'. Add a space and put in the number "3" to tell it to boot to runlevel 3 After startup either way... login as root and as root, run... yum update mkinitrd yum update <<< will update all installed pkgs This would take some time to install all of the updates. jbyers: doing above means I dont have to run mkinitrd to make new initrd? Because the yum update will update the initrd also? Craig: This still won't solve your X problems. That would probably need you to switch to the console again as above and again, login as root init 3 yum install system-config-display system-config-display --reconfig and see if you can get a working X display You can test it by typing 'startx' Once you get X running, you can type 'init 5' or just reboot ---- jbyers: I am familiar with startx, I run that way in my fc5 Are you telling me that my f10 boot is actually finishing? and only then failing on X-server? thanks for response Jack -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
