After the most recent yum update on my f17 systems, the boot hangs and gets a large number of red FAILED boxes during boot. The most recent yum updates were: Jun 03 16:20:00 Updated: grubby-8.12-1.fc17.x86_64 Jun 03 16:20:04 Updated: libpurple-2.10.4-1.fc17.x86_64 Jun 05 20:00:32 Updated: selinux-policy-3.10.0-128.fc17.noarch Jun 05 20:00:36 Updated: selinux-policy-doc-3.10.0-128.fc17.noarch Jun 05 20:00:45 Updated: selinux-policy-targeted-3.10.0-128.fc17.noarch Jun 05 20:01:18 Updated: selinux-policy-devel-3.10.0-128.fc17.noarch Jun 06 23:42:32 Updated: xulrunner-13.0-1.fc17.x86_64 Jun 06 23:42:37 Updated: firefox-13.0-1.fc17.x86_64 Jun 06 23:44:00 Installed: kernel-devel-3.4.0-1.fc17.x86_64 Jun 06 23:44:04 Updated: kernel-headers-3.4.0-1.fc17.x86_64 Jun 06 23:44:17 Installed: kernel-3.4.0-1.fc17.x86_64 At first it seemed like a simple thing to fix, roll back either the kernel or selinux and see which one broke things for me. Well, neither worked. Booting off the older kernel (kernel-3.3.7-1.fc17.x86_64) didn't fix things. Adding enforcing=0 and changing /etc/sysconfig/selinux to enforcing and later disabled had no effect. Rolling back selinux via 'yum downgrade selinux*' didn't fix it either. Ok, this is a real head scratcher. Any ideas? Surely I'm not the only one seeing this. (And this is 5 different systems I'm seeing this on.) The boot.log is as follows. Sorry for the escape sequences for switching color. Hopefully they won't ge mangled in transit. %GCannot open font file True %G Welcome to [0;34mFedora 17 (Beefy Miracle)[0m!
