https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=681677 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=681677#c0 Summary: on boot, some services reported as failed and nfsserver not working - startproc / checkproc broken Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.4 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.4 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: hsk@fli-leibniz.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.15) Gecko/20110303 SUSE/3.6.15-0.2.2 Firefox/3.6.15 when booting opensuse 11.4, several services (e.g. irq_balancer, sshd, mcelog, cups, xdm, nfsserver, autofs, nscd, cron) are reported as "failed" but most of them are running and working well. nfsserver does not work, as it tries to startproc several daemon programs and fails to do so. nfsserver works after starting all the necessary daemons by hand. it seems startproc / checkproc are broken insofar they sometimes return status "program not running" / "no process no pid file found" despite program has been started / is running, e.g. # ps -ef | grep irqbalance root 1076 1 0 19:03 ? 00:00:09 /usr/sbin/irqbalance # checkproc /usr/sbin/irqbalance # echo $? 3 # ps -ef | grep automount # startproc /usr/sbin/automount -p /var/run/automount.pid # echo $? 7 # ps -ef | grep automount root 1941 1 0 19:06 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/automount -p /var/run/automount.pid i have tried an upgrade to 11.4 from a working 11.3, fresh install of 11.4 using my usual selections and configurations, fresh install of 11.4 using all the provided defaults (!), on a recent core-i5-2500/geforce-gt430 box and on a not-so-recent core2-6300/radeon-x1300 box, all of them had the problem described above Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.) install 11.4 2.) boot normally 3.) look at the console to see several services reported as failed Expected Results: services being properly reported as started, working nfsserver :-) -- 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.

The most common services are ncsd, acpid and atftpd. It also happens to idmapd or mountd about once per 20 boots. The system is updated with aaa_base-11.4-54.68.1.x86_64 and sysvinit-tools-2.88-37.45.1.x86_64. Gonna try with RUN_PARALLEL="no" for a while. -- 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.

I'd like to know which kernel is used on such systems ... that is desktop or default or xen kernel or anything else? What disks are used (SSD/HD)? Maybe it would be a prefect idea to attach the hwinfo output ;) Beside this I'd like to know if *all* available updates are applied on the affected systems, latest changelog entry for sysvinit on 11.4 is: * Fri Jul 01 2011 werner@suse.de - Fix done by request from Friedrich Haubensak fixes bnc#700342 -- 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.

(btw: all systems that i spoke about had and have installed 11.4 distro with most recent updates :-) -- 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.

Today it told me that start of irqbalancer, but it is running just fine. There must be another bug in startproc. -- 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.
