I'll take a look, and see if we can try a package in contrib, it
shouldn't be too difficult ... (if a bit dangerous patching /etc/rc.d/rc
in %post).

Or
- -reboot
- -hit ESC at lilo prompt and type 'linux 1' (you may have to supply root
password at some stage)
- -type 'chkconfig netfs off;chkconfig nfs off;chkconfig nfslock off'
- -#init 5

replace init with a better system, such as serel, which knows which
services are required by other services. As a bonus, it can boot the
machine faster, since it can now (with a knowledge of dependencies)
start services in parallel.

[Cooker] Services Dependences

2003-06-05 Thread Pierre Jarillon
If portmap is not setup at boot and this services enabled :
netfs, nfs, nfslock the boot hangs indefinitly.

Happily, CD1 in rescue mode allows to repair it.
But this is very difficult for a beginner :
- Boot with allowing boot on CD
- F1, rescue, mount on mnt, console, keyboard fr, cd /mnt/etc/init.d
- vi netfs, nfs, nfslock
- insertion of  "exit 1" at the beginning of each file.
- reboot  with disabling boot on CD
- vi netfs, nfs, nfslock to remove "exit 1"
- use of DrakXServices to disable netfs, nfs, nfslock at boot.

There two ways to avoid this lock :
- DrakXServices : check the daemons launched at boot after pressing OK.
- /etc/init.d/*  check the presence of required daemons
Both of them ?
