menendez Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 (edited) I did an online update from 2008.1 to 2009 I got a "distribution update success, must reboot machine" message It hangs during the boot. This is what I get: Starting udev: After the udevadm settle timeout, the event queues contain: 733: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:0b.2 759: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:11.0 760: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:11.5 761: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:11.6 762: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:12.0 766: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:18.3 918: /class/i2c-adapter/i2c-1 925: /class/sound/pcmC0D1p 926: /class/sound/pcmC0D1c 927: /class/sound/adsp 928: /class/sound/pcmC0D0p 929: /class/sound/pcmC0D0c 930: /class/sound/dsp 931: /class/sound/audio 932: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:11.5/0-0:ALC655 933: /class/sound/controlC0 934: /class/sound/mixer 935: /class/net/eth0 Wait timeout. Will continue in the background. [FAILED] That's it. nothing else happens. Any suggestions? BTW, I tried booting again. Same basic thing happens but with a slightly different events queue. I see other options from the grub menu.lst so I am trying some other things. Booting into safe mode. That fails as well. Booting into desktop 2.6.27.4-2mnb. That fails as well. Booting into desktop 2.6.27.4-1mnb. It gets farther before hanging. Last message is: audit(1226462383.780:59478): audit_enabled=0 old=1 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 res=1 Booting into desktop586 2.6.24.7-1mnb. It also gets farther before hanging. But all the message fly by and it hangs at a blank screen. So I went back to booting into 2009. Now it acts like booting into desktop586 2.6.24.7-1mnb. It also gets farther before hanging. But all the message fly by and it hangs at a blank screen. I will leave it in this state overnight. Perhaps it just needs more time for the 1st boot.

menendez Posted November 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 I tried again. Same thing with one important exception. I can now boot into safe mode. Are there any terminal window commands I can use in safe mode to figure out why the boot in regular mode fails? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexter11 Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 I don't know if they fixed this bug or not but the "update complete, reboot" message was showed when it wasn't suppose to ahow up. So try urpmi --auto-update and see if it's trying to update some more packages. If yes then the upgrade process was interupted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menendez Posted November 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Thanks for the suggestion but no luck I get a "packages up to date message" but still will not boot in reg. mode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menendez Posted November 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 I gave up on 2009.0 and I am sticking with 2008.1 KDE I just can't get 2009.0 to work with my system. Udev always fails to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
