I logged in remotely via ssh. I initiated a zypper ref and zypper lu and zypper up yesterday night. it listed a few updates. among them was a kernel update. I suppose that is the bug candidate. Something has changed. Then I tried to reboot the machine. It never came back. This morning going on location (!) and seeing hanging still during what I think was the shutdown process. It printed a red line on Alt+F1 screen, complaining about stolen console from blogd or such stuff. All I could do was a ctrl+alt+del on the real keyboard. Eventually it rebooted. Rebooted normally into kernel: Linux box 2.6.37.6-0.5-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2011-04-25 21:48:33 +0200 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux It never came up. I pressed esc on the logo screen, and eventually it again arrived at a red line after some polkit and acpid stuff being loaded (also seen on Alt+F10 key that K8 Amd cpu driver was detecting processor speeds and steps, and polkit before that). On Alt+F1 screen there was again the blogd red line complaining about stolen console. Nothing was happening for many minutes. I went for ctrl+alt+del again, and it took many minutes until the system went into a seemingly almost endless loop of error messages on Alt+F1 screen, complaining about too many open files, too many parameters and pipes and that things. It rebooted eventually, this time I tried to go for safe mode in the grub menu. It came up, but named, sshd, squid and probably many others didnt ever start (dont know if thats the way its supposed to be in safe mode?) So right now I am with a hosed system it seems. :(( Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. I dont really know what the exact source is, maybe its the kernel, but maybe something different? polkit? apparmor? This is a long-term system, meaning it has come a long way from even 11.0 and below, with updates via dvd media (download dvd opensuse x86 bootmedia) I had sucessfully booted the running 11.4 until yesterday, so its not a messed up config or something in general until yesterday night. It must be something that got updated yesterday night. zypper/history: # 2011-04-25 20:16:01 postfix-2.7.2-13.14.1.i586.rpm installed ok # Additional rpm output: # Updating /etc/sysconfig/postfix... # Updating /etc/sysconfig/mail... # insserv: warning: script 'K01dnetc' missing LSB tags and overrides # insserv: warning: script 'dnetc' missing LSB tags and overrides # insserv: script tdsl-trigger is broken: incomplete LSB comment. # insserv: missing valid name for `Provides:' please add. # insserv: missing `Required-Stop:' entry: please add even if empty. # 2011-04-25 20:16:01|install|postfix|2.7.2-13.14.1|i586||repo-update|8023c8b8c85acda6b65666fd5ad98c886197e62e # 2011-04-25 20:16:02 dhcpcd-3.2.3-66.69.1.i586.rpm installed ok # Additional rpm output: # insserv: warning: script 'K01dnetc' missing LSB tags and overrides # insserv: warning: script 'dnetc' missing LSB tags and overrides # insserv: script tdsl-trigger is broken: incomplete LSB comment. # insserv: missing valid name for `Provides:' please add. # insserv: missing `Required-Stop:' entry: please add even if empty. # 2011-04-25 20:16:02|install|dhcpcd|3.2.3-66.69.1|i586||repo-update|ab0848fae61324202d4cdbf688ea54b2cf26bc3f # 2011-04-29 22:23:36 kernel-desktop-2.6.37.6-0.5.1.i586.rpm installed ok # Additional rpm output: # # Kernel image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.37.6-0.5-desktop # Initrd image: /boot/initrd-2.6.37.6-0.5-desktop # KMS drivers: nouveau # Root device: /dev/disk/by-id/ata-SAMSUNG_HD403LJ_S0NFJ1BP400648-part3 (/dev/sdc3) (mounted on / as reiserfs) # Resume device: /dev/disk/by-id/ata-SAMSUNG_HD403LJ_S0NFJ1BP400648-part1 (/dev/sdc1) # modprobe: Module amd74xx not found. # WARNING: no dependencies for kernel module 'amd74xx' found. # modprobe: Module ide_pci_generic not found. # WARNING: no dependencies for kernel module 'ide_pci_generic' found. # Kernel Modules: thermal_sys thermal sata_nv pata_amd ata_generic processor fan reiserfs edd button video i2c-algo-bit drm drm_kms_helper ttm nouveau # Features: kms block usb resume.userspace resume.kernel # Bootsplash: openSUSE (1024x768) # 29467 blocks # 2011-04-29 22:23:36|install|kernel-desktop|2.6.37.6-0.5.1|i586||repo-update|bab2363e5902277ed226c09828a407b45e30aed0 # 2011-04-29 22:23:36 polkit-0.99-5.6.1.i586.rpm installed ok # Additional rpm output: # Starting SuSEconfig, the SuSE Configuration Tool... # Running module permissions only # Reading /etc/sysconfig and updating the system... # Executing /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.permissions... # Finished. # 2011-04-29 22:23:36|install|polkit|0.99-5.6.1|i586||repo-update|7082cdee24e9ed8638ddf3a3f5fbfa19b4644392 2011-04-29 22:23:37|install|libtiff3|3.9.4-3.7.1|i586||repo-update|a06a7887f637e41f313868af0323d1952b5f7a7a 2011-04-29 22:23:40|install|mutt|1.5.21-14.15.1|i586||repo-update|ea60540b6034351db366e9615ffe29c1aee1c735 2011-04-29 22:23:41|install|xorg-x11-driver-video|7.6-53.56.1|i586||repo-update|fd622773dec75ff4d86ba2e523ccdb08a5793af0 # 2011-04-29 22:23:42 yast2-ldap-client-2.20.14.1-0.3.1.noarch.rpm installed ok # Additional rpm output: # Updating /etc/sysconfig/ldap... # 2011-04-29 22:23:42|install|yast2-ldap-client|2.20.14.1-0.3.1|noarch||repo-update|8f65a98da561c05d883288c0f627063d59fea28b 2011-04-29 22:23:46|install|preload-kmp-desktop|1.2_k2.6.37.6_0.5-6.7.3|i586||repo-update|76eff033e309f8956be30fcfe7166351bdf3d2ac 2011-04-29 22:23:46|install|libpolkit0|0.99-5.6.1|i586||repo-update|d016c2931db5abba1fa6b8e12175178eaa555411 2011-04-29 22:23:47|install|udisks|1.0.2-3.4.1|i586||repo-update|fb84c2595dc1b5801a8380ae4f4c226949c2a835 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
