Turns out I *really can't log in*! I managed to persuade the machine to bring the network up on startup, and *I can't log in remotely either*. Same symptoms; as soon as I try, the machine locks up. KDM remains more or less responsive, but TTY switching, which would otherwise work, results in a permanently black screen. Oh... and /var/log/messages isn't actually just unhelpful, it's *corrupt*... both less and vi show a bunch of '^@' special characters where recent log entries ought to be. I have (many) entries from June 5, then one or two fragments from June 14 and again from today... but literally just a few lines, *nothing* like the hundreds of lines I *should* have from a normal boot-up. -- Matthew -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
