Subject: Re: Last weeks F17 updates and problems with booting
One interesting difference between level 3 and default boot.
With default boot and quiet etc off I see a iscsi failure that I
don't see in level 3:
[Failed] Failed to start LSB: Starts and Stops login and scanning
of iscsi devices. Asks to run systemctl status iscsi.service for
details.
But of course when I run this in level 3 I don't see the problem
because I never see that failure message on. Lot in level 3.
I wonder if I just need to reinstall Fedora 17 at this stage. It's
very disappointing that there isn't some sort of diagnostic tool
that I could run to solve and fix this issue. F17 has been the most
troublesome for me. I started at F7 and don't remember anything
like the issues I've had this time around. (my preupgrade failed
and I had to install from scratch and now this from-scratch install
had a problem with an update.) /me looks forward to F18 (I think).
(or maybe it's my Lenovo x220)

If it was my laptop then before a complete re-install I would boot into level 3
(non-graphical) and try to un-install all the X11 packages. I would then try to
re-install the packages I normally use which would most likely bring in X11 because of
dependencies. It might not get you back to running but if you're going to re-install
it's worth a shot. Just a thought...
