The grub.conf is from /media/_boot/grub
FC 15 will not boot to single user at all. FC 14 2.6.35.13-91.fc14.i686 will boot: Running the mkinitrd from that mode with this command line: mkinitrd vmlinuz-2.6.38.6-27.fc15.i686.img vmlinuz-2.6.38.6-27.fc15.i686 builds the file vmlinuz-2.6.38.6-27.fc15.i686.img but there are about 5 lines of find modules /lib/modules/2.6.38.6-27.fc15.i686 and when I try to boot from it I get the FATAL error of could not load /lib/modules/2.6.38.6-27.fc15.i686/modules.dep and I get dropped into the debug shell Looking at that location with ll shows that it does exist but there is a symlink to build that points to ../../../usr/src/kernels/2.6.38.6-27.fc15.i686 which does NOT exist. looking at an rpm -qa | grep kernel | grep 15 I see 4 RPMs the kernel itself, headers, doc and the kerneloops as being installed What now and how do I fix this? |

That is because F14 does not have the lib files to build up the image file for F15 I guess.
You can download the lib files from here: http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat....i686.rpm.html You have to use a CD or a floppy to get it on the server. Also install the rpm using rpm -ivh package_name, do not use rpm -Uvh package_name It might be possible that it will ask you to install dependent files. Install them as well. Also try creating image file once done installing the libraries. |
Already thought that was it....downloading and loading it now from USB stick. Will retry and send results shortly.

Loaded the rpm with no errors.
Rebuilding with mkinitrd --force vmlinuz-2.6.38.6-27.fc15.i686.img vmlinuz-2.6.38.6-27.fc15.i686 (to force overwrite of the exisiting file) give me still 7 lines of modules not found like before and rebooting to that gets me the same results as well. I looked in the /usr/src directory and the RPM has apparently installed as there is now a usr/src/kernels/2.6.38.6-27.fc15.i686 directory there with symlinks that point someplace inside it. |

Did you reboot the system after installation (rpm -ivh ) ?
I know you mentioned that you are not able to boot in any of the kernel in the first post but can you give it a try once again? Also refer this documentation which I think might help: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/...isk_Image.html |
OK. Rebooted into the FC14 kernel and ran the
dracut --force and it rebuilt with out any errors just warnings about possibly missing firmware for several items. On reboot into the FC15 kernel with single user mode I still fail with the modprobe FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.38.6-27.fc15.i686/modules.dep no such file or directory and I get dropped into the debug dracut shell. |

Try installing this: http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat....i686.rpm.html
At a point I was thinking of suggesting you to install Fedora15 on a virtual machine and copy over the image file and whatever missing modules to this machine. As I thought that will be easier. But after seeing the message you mentioned I thought it worth giving a try installing the above mentioned package and see if that works. |
OK I installed that and reran the dracut --force. Still warned about missing modules but when I rebooted I CAN get into multi user mode in FC15 using the .debug entry it created, but some of my services are apparently not running. Bootlog below/errors below - if I can get httpd running then I think we're back in business not sure what the others are for but I'm not familiar with them:

OK. Reinstalled the non-debug kernel rpm with
yum reinstall kernel-2.6.38.6-27.fc15.i686.rpm and I can now boot into multi-user mode with that kernel not jst the debug one. I still have the above 4 items that are not starting however and syslog doesn't appear to be running either as /var/log/messages is not getting written to and there is no syslog in the ps -efw list Any thoughts? |

As I can understand you are not able to boot normally. However, the 4 services that you mentioned are not starting.
First of all I would like to see the selinux status. You can check that by using the following command: sestatus Also if possible (just for troubleshooting purpose) you can disable the selinux for one single time by booting your system with selinux=0 option. For that you have to do the following: At the grub boot options screen. Select F15 kernel and hit e to edit. Now where you mention the option for single user mode, mentione selinux=0, hit enter and hit b to boot the system. It will look as follows: Code:
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.38.6-27.fc15.i686 ro root=LABEL=/root rhgb quiet resume=/dev/sda2 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 LANG=en_US.UTF-8 KEYTABLE=us rootfstype=ext4 selinux=0 |
It's appaently already disabled
[root@saturn ~]# sestatus SELinux status: disabled both /var/log/dmesg /var/log/messages /var/log/failed doesn't exist are not being writteb to - I don't think syslog is starting and the dates are from 5/27 when I started the upgrade [root@saturn ~]# ll /var/log/dmesg -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 41232 May 27 16:34 /var/log/dmesg [root@saturn ~]# ll /var/log/messages -rw-------. 1 root root 396324 May 27 17:46 /var/log/messages [root@saturn ~]# ll /var/log/failed ls: cannot access /var/log/failed: No such file or directory |

First check the status of all four items which I think are:
syslogd, autofs, apmd and httpd. Check them using chkconfig: chkconfig --list service_name, it it shows as off then enable them using the following command: chkconfig service_name on Also, I would be interested to see the messages that you get when you try to start them manually: service service_name start |

See attached service.txt can't post output too many image tages...it doesn't like the brackets etc.

Check if you have kernel-devel package installed for this kernel.
Else download and install it from the following link and then give it a try: http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat....i686.rpm.html |
We installed it earlier I believe around 6pm or so, its here
