Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 12.1 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: antoine.mechelynck@belgacom.net QAContact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:22.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/22.0 SeaMonkey/2.19a1 When I woke up this morning (CET) there were a number of online updates waiting for me on the openSUSE 12.1 Update-Test repo, so I dutifully let YaST apply them. Then "zypper ps" displayed quite a number of processes using deleted files, including some which I thought would not be terminated by merely logging out of X11, so I rebooted. That's when the shit hit the fan. At the end of reboot (using systemd at runlevel 3, which are my usual defaults) there was no login prompt, and Ctrl-Alt-F2 to Ctrl-Alt-F6 would do nothing. Ctrl-Alt-F10 followed by Ctrl-Alt-F1 worked. After several seconds, six almost identical lines appeared on the console, saying (quoting from memory) that a failed dependency prevented Getty to start on tty1, and the same for tty2 to tty6. Each message had ABORT in red on the right side. Reboot was still possible by Ctrl-Alt-Del. Trying to reboot at runlevel 5 by appending a 5 to the kernel commandline in GRUB made the graphical login screen appear at the end of bootup, so I typed "root" as username, and the root password. The text console was displayed for a fraction of a second, and I was brought back to an empty graphical login screen. Ctrl-Alt-Del did nothing now, so I cycled the power switch. Finally when I selected "System V" in the F5 rolldown in GRUB everything went well.
