Mysterious Reboot When upgrading RH4.0 to RH4.1

Mysterious Reboot When upgrading RH4.0 to RH4.1

Post by Jeff Pabi » Mon, 17 Feb 1997 04:00:00



Hey everyone,

Has anyone else run into this?

After getting all the way through the RH upgrade to 4.1,  it logs into
the ftp server I selected, mounts the root partition, begins to
download the lists or package files, then reboots!  A message pops up
and says "rebooting system."  When it comes back up, I have to start
all over.  I watched the install log and everything looks fine.  I
can't figure it out.  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jeff

1. PROGRESS REPORT: Re: Minor probs. after upgrade RH4.1 -> RH4.2

Here's a progress report on some RH4.2 upgrade problems I had posted
about, which may or may not be of interest:

No progress as yet.  Presumably this is a RH issue and they will solve
it when they upgrade "glint"?  I didn't find a later version of "glint"
at RH than the one I already have.  Inconvenient but not fatal.

I reset the permissions on the cua* devices as follows:


crw-rw-rw-   1 root     uucp       5,  64 Sep 23 08:44 /dev/cua0
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     uucp       5,  65 Dec 31  1979 /dev/cua1
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     uucp       5,  66 Dec 31  1979 /dev/cua2
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     uucp       5,  67 Dec 31  1979 /dev/cua3

originally these had been crw-rw----.  If this is a security hole, no
flames: 1) please note, I'm on my own box; 2) tell me how to do it
right.

I upgraded to XFree86 Version 3.3.1, no joy.  However, whether you need
this version to do the following, or you can do it with the older
version, XFree86 Version 3.2.9 which comes with RH 4.2, the key is to
insert the switch:

XkbDisable

in the "Keyboard" section of XF86Config.  Got my numeric keyboard cursor
keys back, yeah!!!
