RVDowning Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 My mdkonline indicated an update to 2009.0 last night. These were kernel related items and I installed them. Now when I bring up the system it hangs at the splash screen that displays the progress bar. The progress bar does not move. If I hit the ESC key, it will flip over to text mode and then start to process the startup commands. It will just sit there before I hit the ESC key. So far the longest I've waited for it to do anything is 15 minutes. Should I go back to my previous grub entry or is there a way to fix this hang? I see on the Mandriva forum that others have experienced this also, but no one has yet offered a solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg2 Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Bug 45552 has been opened on this. According to comment #4 in that bug report; bug # 45552 Adding clocksource=jiffies as a kernel boot parameter allows it to boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bolschevick Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Hey I ve got exactly the same problem....after trying everything possible with grub n lilo, now i cant even just kill graphic mode/progress-bar....doesnt react to nonfsb and/or splash=silent kernel commands through Drakconf and explicitly from both lilo and grub....incredible.... ...i really hope this gets fixed, in the meanwhile i revert to primary kernel shiped with original 2009.0 ... Dont, however, let this turn u away from MDV09 its totally great, at least for me, just seems they published kernel update before really testing it enough..... till real update is done original 2.6.27-desktop-0.rc8.2mnb worked just fine....at least for me....

RVDowning Posted November 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 I understand from another group that using mcc to turn off the splash screen shuld work as well as the following quote: "If your system boots only if you kill splashy by pressing esc, You can edit /boot/menu.lst and remove the line splash=silent from the boot parameter of the kernel that fails to boot."

CygnusX1 Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 i used mcc to set boot mode to text. mandriva seems to boot fine now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
