Re: [bitfolk] Xen problem: can't boot after update to Debian Wheezy

Hi Andy, sure, that’d be welcome - I wasn’t sure whether this list was for bitfolk/xen-specific issues, so I thought I’d try and resolve it on my own first. The issue is that when I try to boot into multiuser/runlevel 3, once the startup scripts pass a certain point the system hangs. Carriage return/control-C on console seem to register (I get newlines) but with no effect - so the console connection seems to be ok. I have to destroy the instance from the console and reboot to recover. There’s no exact script where it hangs - sometimes S03mysql, sometimes S03lighttp, sometimes S03ssh I am able to boot into single-user, thanks to your help. I manually get networking working, as well as start sshd. However, when I ctrl-D out of single user mode, it quickly hangs. I suspected it might have something to do with networking, as I had ntpd enabled and get regular “could not resolve <ntp server>” errors even when the rest of the boot process hangs - and even once sshd starts, it’s not reachable from outside. I’m not sure why networking wouldn’t be starting ; /etc/network/interfaces looks ok, and as mentioned, I’m able to configure it manually in single user. Syslog at debug level tells me nothing - the last entry I see is usually something about MySQL table checking, but even disabling MySQL (and other services where it hangs) in /etc/rc3.d doesn’t make a difference. I’m close to just reinstalling at this point, but if this sounds at all familiar, any hints are welcome. Thank you, -John On 5Jul 2014, at 21:43, Andy Smith &lt;andy(a)bitfolk.com&gt; wrote:
