Failed to start Load Kernel Modules.
by Sudhir Khanger 17 Jan '19

17 Jan '19

Hello, I get *Failed to start Load Kernel Modules* during the boot. Everytime Kernel is updated VirtualBox modules fail I have to reboot into the new Kernel, run the following commands and then it starts working. $ sudo akmods --force $ sudo dracut -v -f $ sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg Then everything starts working again and the boot error goes away. You can found the background of the issue in the link below. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1254340 My question is how can I automate this task.

ACPI errors (was: f24 boot fails; need help).
by William 19 Dec '18

19 Dec '18

Good evening, One of the problems reported in the log file "rdsosreport.txt" generated by the failed boots discussed in the "f24 boot fails; need help" topic was a set of "ACPI" errors. Here are the relevant lines (with added line numbers) from that log file (the first and last lines are just for context): ---------- 862 [ 1.218683] coyote kernel: ata4: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) 863 [ 1.218927] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: [DSSP] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psargs-359) 864 [ 1.219196] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB.PCI0.SAT0.SPT1._GTF] (Node ffff92ef8e0db488), AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psparse-543) 865 [ 1.219856] coyote kernel: ata2.00: ATA-8: ST2000DM001-1CH164, CC24, max UDMA/133 866 [ 1.220017] coyote kernel: ata2.00: 3907029168 sectors, multi 16: LBA48 NCQ (depth 31/32), AA 867 [ 1.220812] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: [DSSP] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psargs-359) 868 [ 1.221100] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB.PCI0.SAT0.SPT1._GTF] (Node ffff92ef8e0db488), AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psparse-543) 869 [ 1.221620] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: [DSSP] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psargs-359) 870 [ 1.221909] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB.PCI0.SAT0.SPT5._GTF] (Node ffff92ef8e0dbac8), AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psparse-543) 871 [ 1.222200] coyote kernel: ata6.00: ATAPI: HL-DT-ST BD-RE BH14NS40, 1.00, max UDMA/100 872 [ 1.222374] coyote kernel: ata2.00: configured for UDMA/133 873 [ 1.222582] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: [DSSP] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psargs-359) 874 [ 1.222908] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB.PCI0.SAT0.SPT3._GTF] (Node ffff92ef8e0db348), AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psparse-543) 875 [ 1.222919] coyote kernel: scsi 1:0:0:0: Direct-Access ATA ST2000DM001-1CH1 CC24 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 876 [ 1.223466] coyote kernel: ata4.00: ATAPI: PIONEER BD-RW BDR-208M, 1.10, max UDMA/100 877 [ 1.226360] coyote kernel: ata7: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300) 878 [ 1.226407] coyote kernel: ata9: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300) 879 [ 1.226501] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: [DSSP] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psargs-359) 880 [ 1.226507] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB.PCI0.SAT0.SPT5._GTF] (Node ffff92ef8e0dbac8), AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psparse-543) 881 [ 1.226519] coyote kernel: ata6.00: configured for UDMA/100 882 [ 1.227197] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: [DSSP] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psargs-359) 883 [ 1.227204] coyote kernel: ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB.PCI0.SAT0.SPT3._GTF] (Node ffff92ef8e0db348), AE_NOT_FOUND (20160930/psparse-543) 884 [ 1.227217] coyote kernel: ata4.00: configured for UDMA/100 ---------- What is this all about? Is this a real problem or a false alarm? How do I fix it? thanks, Bill.

Install on Zotac Zbox CI327?
by wwp 11 Dec '18

11 Dec '18

Hello there, (after a looong time not using Fedora, just back to it!) I've tried installing Fedora on a Zotac Zbox CI327 (Intel Celeron N3450 inside) but this happens to fail. I've tried F25 but it has not the right kernel to make it (I've read about 4.10 minimum), then tried F26-Alpha-1.7 Live and Rawhide-20170518 Live but none could reach the graphical login. They both boot, some steps take a lot of time and I end up in a state I don't understand but which is not friendly ;-). Here's a link to a rdsosreport.txt file generated using Rawhide, I must admit that I don't know what to do now.. https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/iRx8d~7Luk2TC3bsaDuuT15M1UNdIGYhyRLiv… BTW, I could install and run a Ubuntu 17.10 daily (artful-desktop-amd64-20170519.iso) - wow it starts up pretty quickly - and that gave me hope! Any hint or experience w/ such hardware? Regards, -- wwp

How to turn on networking from rescue boot
by vendor＠billoblog.com 29 Oct '18

29 Oct '18

So... I did a "sudo dnf upgrade" and things seemed to do well. However, when I rebooted, it hangs on bootup with the statment "Holding until bootup processes complete" or something like that -- I'm doing this from memory. I tried with a couple of older kernels, but they also hung. I assume that this is some transient thing associated with the upgrade. Over the years, I've had glitches appear on an upgrade and disappear on the next upgrade. Accordingly, I'd like to boot into rescue mode and see if I can upgrade again. However, I've forgotten how to turn on wifi networking from rescue mode. Can anybody point me to a tutorial? Thanks, billo

4.17.x kernels cause "nvme0: controller is down" on MacBook Air
by Lonni J Friedman 17 Oct '18

17 Oct '18

Ever since Fedora(27) released a 4.17.x kernel, my MacBook Air (7,1) is no longer able to boot at all. It hangs when trying to use the NVMe disk controller: nvme nvme0: controller is down; will reset: CSTS=0x3, PCI_STATUS=0x810 and the entire boot process eventually times out completely. If I return to using the last 4.16.x kernel (4.16.14-200.fc27.x86_64), then the problem does *not* reproduce, and everything boots normally. i opened a bug for this problem: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1601196 however, I'm surprised that no one else has run into this issue. Any ideas or suggestions? thanks!

Brother MFCL2710DW on Fedora?
by Gianluca Cecchi 10 Sep '18

10 Sep '18

Hello, i'm replacing an Hp Officejet 4620 after print heads problems in 2 years of life. I got tired with inkjet and their imitations and due to my sporadic needs and only b/w, I would like to buy a black white laserjet with scanner capabilities too. I see the product in object that seems quite good from an hw point of view but it is not clear to me the status with Linux support, both with printing and scanning. Anyone using this product or similar one in the line? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, Gianluca

convert to EUFI boot?
by ToddAndMargo 05 Sep '18

05 Sep '18

Hi All, Fedora 28, x64 Two questions: 1) Is there a way to convert a Fedora hard drive that is set up to boot off the old BIOS into a EUFI boot? 2) Is there a way to convert a Fedora hard drive that is set up to boot off the old BIOS into a dual BIOS and EUFI boot drive? Many thanks, -T

Startup messages shown twice on EFI boot
by Richard Shaw 04 Sep '18

04 Sep '18

For some time now (i.e. multiple Fedora releases) I've noticed that on two of my laptops that use EFI instead of BIOS booting, all of the startup lines from SystemD are shown twice. No big issue but o a whim I decided to google the problem and couldn't find much. I can't be the only person that's seen this though... Any easy fix known? Thanks, Richard

tip: found a flash drive for direct install
by ToddAndMargo 01 Sep '18

01 Sep '18

Hi All, I finally found a flash drive I like for installing Fedora directly (not live). Flash drives break down when a lot of small files go fly around and bog the OS down and often corrupt. I have had issues with both Kanguru and Kingston drives. I also test a Patriot drive. They goof around with parameters so that large file transfers give good numbers at the expense of small file transfers being so bad the stick almost unusable. Fedora on a Patriot was a joke. On a lark I tried a Samsung MUF-64BE3/AM and a Samsung MUF-64DA1/WW. Both are USB 3.1. And Wow. On two customer machines running USB 2, they preformed flawlessly. Actually even faster than the native Windows. And no corruptions and no ten minutes to shutdown Firefox. On my own USB 3.0 machine, they ran almost as 1/2 as fast as native (I have an NVMe drive). Both these guys ate Fedora 28 Xfce x64 alive, meaning it handled multiple small file transfers with ease. Anyone want to know the special tweaks to run off a USB drive, drop me a line. -T -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Computers are like air conditioners. They malfunction when you open windows ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

services don't start
by Mike Zingale 31 Aug '18

31 Aug '18

One of our Fedora 28 machines now longer boots. Services fail to start, and there are a lot of errors like: [ 3881.765993] systemd[2018]: dbus.service: Failed to execute command: Permission denied [ 3881.766884] systemd[2018]: dbus.service: Failed at step EXEC spawning /usr/bin/dbus-daemon: Permission denied for each service. gdm or a prompt on other terminals on the machine never come up, but I can ssh into the machine. dnf doesn't work (it gives Error: Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'updates' ) any other system commands take forever (just doing `su` or querying systemctl takes a few minutes, and then usually fails). Any thoughts on what might be causing this?
