/dev/.udev/failed
It seems my boss found a little issue on our FC7 system dealing with /dev/.udev/failed and seems there is a file or something which is linked back to itself and causes an endless loop. Anyone know what this is? How to fix it? or anything?
Thanks for the help |
try reinstalling udev:
yum install udev |
All I get in the end with that is "nothing to do"
|
yum remove udev and then yum install udev
|
well its got about 270 files to remove before I re-install it...but anyway, in case it helps diagnose the problem my boss tries to access th server from his XP machine using DOS and when he enters "dir *.* /s /-p" is when a whole tone of stuff comes up on the screen and just loops supper fast and doesnt stop until he presses ctrl+ c.
We thought that maybe its nothing and its only acting up because hes doing it through DOS but we figured it was atleast looking into. Thanks again for all the help |
do that with --nodeps (or is it --no-deps?) check man page of yum.
Anyway good luck |
Well I removed udev before Agrouf made his recomendation. I am getting errors now when I boot up. I get the screen where it counts down the seconds then I get a black screen that says...
Booting 'Fedora Core (2.3.22.14-72.fc6)' root (hd0,0) filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 Kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.22.14-72.fc6 ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb quiet Error 15: File not found Press any key to continue... Any thoughts? |
Should I just run the rescue from my CD? If so will rescue keep all my data, programs, settings, and any changes I have made to the system?
|
Did you reinstall udev?
you can use the boot CD to reinstall stuff from yum. |
Yes I ran..
yum remove udev then yum install udev after that it should just start up perfectly shouldn't it? should I remove and reinstall again or should I just do a recovery? |
