Description Bin Li 2008-09-22 05:44:14 UTC
When I run 'SuSEfirewall2 stop' in terminal, it prompt:

# SuSEfirewall2 stop
SuSEfirewall2: /var/lock/SuSEfirewall2.booting exists which means system boot in progress, exit.

When I delete this file, it works fine
Comment 1 Ludwig Nussel 2008-09-22 07:05:41 UTC
SuSEfirewall2_setup deletes that file at the end of the boot process.
Did your boot process finish (login prompt on tty1)?
Is SuSEfirewall2_setup enabled? Please attach the output of "chkconfig -l"
Comment 2 Bin Li 2008-09-22 08:33:37 UTC
Hi,
Every time I reboot my laptop, then sudo SuSEfirewall2 stop, it prompt above error information.

chkconfig -l | grep SuSE
SuSEfirewall2_init        0:off  1:off  2:off  3:on   4:on   5:on   6:off
SuSEfirewall2_setup       0:off  1:off  2:off  3:on   4:on   5:on   6:off

And in tty1 I just saw "KDFONTOP: Invalid argument   failed", and I couldn't page up the screen.
Comment 3 Ludwig Nussel 2008-09-22 08:38:54 UTC
there is no login prompt though? That means the boot process didn't finish. Maybe ntp hangs? Anyways, not a SuSEfirewall2 bug.
Comment 4 Bin Li 2008-09-22 10:07:39 UTC
Yes, there is no login prompt.

It stop after auditd was done. But I'm not sure which daemon was blocked.
Comment 5 Christoph Thiel 2008-09-26 12:14:29 UTC
Is this still an issue in openSUSE 11.1 Beta1?

Comment 7 Bin Li 2008-09-28 07:44:02 UTC
Yes, I've found this bug in 11.1 beta1.

And in the tty1 (Ctrl+Alt+F1) I view it block after Avahi daemon.

And in my /etc/init.d/rc5.d/, you can view the start service like this

Comment 8 Ludwig Nussel 2008-09-29 07:42:25 UTC
I actually doubt it is avahi. Could you set RUN_PARALLEL=no in /etc/sysconfig/boot and reboot?
Comment 9 Christoph Thiel 2008-10-01 10:51:30 UTC
Bin?
Comment 10 Bin Li 2008-10-01 16:25:47 UTC
Sorry for reply late for national holiday.

And I've change in the /etc/sysconfig/boot, it can't work also, the desktop didn't show, and the log block at "Start Unicode mode"

Starting syslog services                                 done

Start Unicode mode                                       done

So the error information changed, very weird.
Comment 11 Bin Li 2008-10-01 16:35:04 UTC
And I reboot the laptop serveral times, it's all failed. So I enter the signle user mode and change back the RUN_PARALLEL=yes, the desktop works fine.

But the tty1, display info was block after:

Starting Name Service Cache Daemon          done
Comment 12 Ludwig Nussel 2008-10-02 06:45:23 UTC
As long as parallel booting is on the last displayed message doesn't tell much. Lots of people have similar problems like this one due to ntp. Could you disable ntp and see if it hangs again? (chkconfig ntp off)
Comment 13 Bin Li 2008-10-02 14:53:57 UTC
Great, it works fine now.

So why ntf affects it?
