I think you might be wrong about the real cause of that error... prefdm is trying to run your preferred Display Manager... but it's not working. Smartd might look like a suspect just because it's the last thing started before init finished (if you look, it's probably /etc/rc5.d/S99smartd - same priority as running rc.local) So if you do get it to finish booting, you'd probably be missing graphical stuff - either because your graphics hardware isn't supported or it hasn't been detected properly. -- Sam -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
