Yup. I have a reproducing environment here. More when I get chance. It takes ages to finish on bare metal too. I noticed this shortly before my rawhide kicked the bucket and had to be reinstalled - can't provide package versions or reproduce the problem. But it started around 2010-02-01. Perhaps a duplicate of bug#561824 which seems to attribute the slow down to udev. (In reply to comment #3) > Perhaps a duplicate of bug#561824 which seems to attribute the slow down to > udev. ^^^^^^^^^^^ Doh! Pasted the wrong number ... let's try this again. Perhaps a duplicate of bug#560031 which seems to attribute the slow down to udev. I've just encountered this bug when trying to boot the i386 KDE nightly build LiveCDs for 2010-02-02 and now again for 2010-02-03 on my Intel MacBook Pro.
First thing I notice is that after the usual graphical countdown ("Automatic Boot in x seconds") the boot sequence switches itself from graphical to verbose text output.
It then hangs for 120s (*not* in my case 60s) at a line of output that reads "Applying Intel CPU microcode update: Applying Intel CPU microcode update: (i.e. says the same thing twice).
Boot then proceeds before finally stopping again a few seconds later at the line "Starting abrt daemon", at which point the boot appears to fail.
How reproducible:
always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download kde-i386-20100202.16.iso or kde-i386-20100203.16.iso and burn to disc.
2. Place in optical drive and attempt to boot from this disk.
FYI - I dug into this a bit today. Udev is spinning on ALL the rules many, many times for each request. I enabled debugging on udevd and did modprobe microcode. That generated 542930 lines of output for 8 cores. The lines basically show thousands of iterations through the whole ruleset for each core. Way more than I can follow - and no indication that I could tell as to what triggered each iteration. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 560031 *** |
