This may be quite a bit more serious than I suspected. No matter what I do, the rhgb client tries to start to, but adding sigle to the kernel arguments did succeed in getting me a command prompt. I then went to: /var/cache/yum/development/packages and tried to: rpm -Uvh --force xorg*6.8.1-6* I thought this would fix all my woes. Instead, it made the mystery even deeper. I was told that /usr/lib/libpopt.so.0 has invalid ELF headers. I tried booting this was twice to see if somehow the kernel had any affect on this, although I couldn't see how it could. I used the kernel that came with T2 and the latest one yum downloaded yesterday. Same result either way. It would appear that yum trashed more than just my x setup. If anyone has any ideas I sure would like to hear them. --andy Quoting Paul Iadonisi <pri.rhl3@xxxxxxxxxxx>: > On Tue, 2004-11-02 at 10:36 -0600, Satish Balay wrote: > > > > On Tue, 2 Nov 2004, Douglas Furlong wrote: > > > > > The boot parameter "3" brings the system to "multi user, no X". > > > > The OP has problem with runlevel-3 - hence 'single' was sugested. > > I'm suspecting that since there was a problem both with rhgb > stilling > being run *and* runlevel 3 being ignored that maybe the OP hit escape > instead of enter after changing the grub kernel parameters. > I'd suggest trying again, but after hitting escape before the three > second timeout expires and hitting 'a' to edit the kernel command > line > (placing the cursor at the end of the command line), delete the rhgb > parameter and add '3' and then be sure to hit enter to boot the > kernel > with the new command line. > > -- > -Paul Iadonisi > Senior System Administrator > Red Hat Certified Engineer / Local Linux Lobbyist > Ever see a penguin fly? -- Try Linux. > GPL all the way: Sell services, don't lease secrets > > -- > fedora-test-list mailing list > fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe: > http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list >
