Hello
I know that this is completely off-topic, but I figured that someone here might be able to help me bring my machine back to life.
I was running FC2, set up according to Jarods' guide and everything has been working perfectly for weeks, so I decided to use apt-get to update my system. Since it is been a while since I updated, apt-said it wanted to update the following packages:
ImageMagick alsa-driver alsa-lib alsa-lib-devel alsa-utils apt arts autoconf
automake gdk-pixbuf gnupg gtk2 gtk2-devel kdeaddons kdeadmin kdeartwork
kdebase kdegames kdegraphics kdelibs kdemultimedia kdenetwork kdepim
kdeutils krb5-devel krb5-libs lftp libselinux libselinux-devel mozilla
mozilla-mail mozilla-nspr mozilla-nss python24 telnet util-linux xorg-x11
xorg-x11-100dpi-fonts xorg-x11-75dpi-fonts xorg-x11-Mesa-libGL
xorg-x11-Mesa-libGLU xorg-x11-Xnest xorg-x11-base-fonts xorg-x11-devel
xorg-x11-font-utils xorg-x11-libs xorg-x11-libs-data xorg-x11-tools
xorg-x11-truetype-fonts xorg-x11-twm xorg-x11-xauth xorg-x11-xdm
xorg-x11-xfs zvbi
The following NEW packages will be installed:
kernel#2.6.10-2.1.ll.rhfc2.ccrma
kernel-module-alsa-2.6.10-2.1.ll.rhfc2.ccrma libsamplerate libsndfile1
mDNSResponder
I decided to be cautious and installed only the kernel first and then restarted the machine. When I ran "apt-get dist-upgrade" again it complained that alsa-lib conflicted with libasound2, so I ran "apt-get remove libasound2", "apt-get dist-upgrade" and tried to restart, and now my machine won't boot! It gets as far as "Enabling swap space" and then it dies with "INIT: PANIC: segmentation violation at 0x6633d4! sleeping for 30 seconds"
I can boot in rescue mode from the install CD so I am not completely lost, but I really have no idea how to proceed from there. I tried upgrading to kernel#2.6.11-0.3.rdt.rhfc2.ccrma, but it has no effect. Fsck finds nothing wrong, and there is nothing in the logs.
Would updating to FC3 replace enough system components to fix this or would it only make matters worse?
