I'm running Fedora 16 and I attempted to install the most recent set of released updates (from fedora-updates - I'm not using the testing repo), using "yum update". While it was installing the kernel package (kernel-3.1.1-2.fc16.x86_64), the entire system locked up. It was unresponsive to anything, even mouse movement or network access. There was no disk access either from what I could tell. I left it that way for a long time, and finally was forced to do a hard power-off. After the reboot I'm not sure exactly what state my system is in, and I may need some guidance to get it back up to normal. It is running now, but I think the installed packages may be a bit mixed up. This system does not have any history of having a hard lock-up. I have been having a few Gnome freezing issues since F16, but the kernel and OS has never locked up. Output of "yum check" shows it's not clean: at-3.1.13-5.fc16.x86_64 is a duplicate with at-3.1.13-3.fc16.x86_64 32:bind-9.8.1-4.P1.fc16.x86_64 is a duplicate with 32:bind-9.8.1-2.fc16.x86_64 32:bind-libs-9.8.1-4.P1.fc16.x86_64 is a duplicate with 32:bind-libs-9.8.1-2.fc16.x86_64 32:bind-license-9.8.1-4.P1.fc16.noarch is a duplicate with 32:bind-license-9.8.1-2.fc16.noarch facter-1.6.2-1.fc16.noarch is a duplicate with facter-1.6.1-1.fc16.noarch kernel-headers-3.1.1-2.fc16.x86_64 is a duplicate with kernel-headers-3.1.1-1.fc16.x86_64 kernel-tools-3.1.1-2.fc16.x86_64 is a duplicate with kernel-tools-3.1.1-1.fc16.x86_64 1:nfs-utils-1.2.5-3.fc16.x86_64 is a duplicate with 1:nfs-utils-1.2.5-1.fc16.x86_64 perl-IO-Socket-SSL-1.49-1.fc16.noarch is a duplicate with perl-IO-Socket-SSL-1.45-1.fc16.noarch setroubleshoot-plugins-3.0.17-1.fc16.noarch is a duplicate with setroubleshoot-plugins-3.0.14-2.fc15.noarch xfwm4-4.8.2-1.fc16.x86_64 is a duplicate with xfwm4-4.8.1-5.fc16.x86_64 Error: check all Here's the last set of messages recorded in syslog: Nov 19 16:27:59 beryl yum[12885]: Updated: 32:bind-license-9.8.1-4.P1.fc16.noarch Nov 19 16:28:00 beryl yum[12885]: Updated: 32:bind-libs-9.8.1-4.P1.fc16.x86_64 Nov 19 16:28:03 beryl systemd[1]: Reloading.

Name : kernel Version : 3.1.1 Release : 1.fc16 Architecture: x86_64 ... Name : kernel Version : 3.1.1 Release : 2.fc16 Architecture: x86_64 After my reboot I booted with the most recent kernel that was configured in grub, and now cat /proc/version Linux version 3.1.1-1.fc16.x86_64 (mockbuild@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) (gcc version 4.6.2 20111027 (Red Hat 4.6.2-1) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Fri Nov 11 21:47:56 UTC 2011 So the -2 revision must not have gotten fully installed. What are my next steps? If it was just a normal application package, I'd force a yum re-install. But since this happened during a kernel update, I don't want to risk messing my system up further. -- Deron Meranda http://deron.meranda.us/ -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
