I posted about this a couple of days ago to the test list; but I've gotten no response
so I'm fishing here.
I'm not sure if this is a genuine freeze; but I have not managed to elicit a response
to keyboard/mouse input.
When booting Fedora 18 Beta, I see this:
dracut-cmdline[121]: /etc/locale.conf: line1:
locale.LANG=en_US.UTF-8: command
dracut-pre-udev[193]: rpc.idmapd: Could not find group "nfsnobody"
And a whole bunch of these:
[ 2.160931] [drm:intel_dp_i2c_aux_ch] *ERROR* too many retries,
giving up
I don't think the latter is related; I'm pretty sure I was seeing it before this
problem started and it seemed reasonably innocuous. (And I think I recall a web search
that suggested it may be related to my use of a DisplayPort-to-dual-link DVI adapter.)
I did set up NFS/autofs on the box; and I believe I got it working. However, it's
possible that I started seeing this problem at the first reboot *after* having set up
NFS/autofs. (Or maybe the second one?)
Not sure if I should file a bug on this (let alone what component I should file it
against). Whatever I did, I'm inclined to think that failing to boot is not a
reasonable thing.
