Joel Rees joel_rees@sannet.ne.jp has canceled Bug Zapper fedora-triage-list@redhat.com's request for needinfo: Bug 552434: Boot cycle Fedora 12 indeterminate boot loop, new install with old fis mounted in /etc/fstab, fails to load libfreebl3.so https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=552434
------- Additional Comments from Joel Rees joel_rees@sannet.ne.jp This behavior (not being able to enter a password to clear the loop and drop into rescue mode) has been present from my original report.
I'm thinking it's best to continue the bug, unless we want to make this thread be for the problems of trying to load a library before the file system it resides on is mounted and make a separate thread trying to handle whtaever the real reason is for being unable to actually enter the login process when dropping to rescue mode.
I'm inclined to believe that the problem is still based in not being able to get all of the login code into memory when the bug occurs.
I don't think this bug can be fixed until the programmers are able to determine some sort of separate login process for protecting the rescue mode. You can't use the system to enforce privilege before the system is fully running.
