FC6 Boot ACPI-FATAL ERROR problems

DeadlyData · #1 16th May 2007, 03:30 PM

On my FC6 server boot it tends to freeze while setting up IP tables the only error above it is...

Code:

FATAL: error inserting acpi_freq (/lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.ko): n such device

The Full log is

Code:

Starting Firewall:

After this the server just tends to freeze... if any one can help me sovle this I'd greatly apreciate it, I can't access the server at all maybe in FailSafe terminal if you can do that before boot is done other then that all I can do is boot a live CD I tried Grub beacuse I was using it to set a partion from before and then I tried going in terminal and mounting the servers HDD and it says it's not a known filetype... so, any liveCD's/or any thing I can do to fix this problem would be greatly apreciated.

post the output from this command ( fedora can install the wrong kernel i586 instead of i686 )

rpm -qa --queryformat "%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}\n"|grep kernel|sort

P.S I wont bother asking again

The reply from the command is

Code:

kernel 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.i586
kernel-headers-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.i386

Sorry for not running it last time thanks again for the help... what should I do now?
