Hi, Today I finally gathered up the courage to "live on the edge" and upgrade to rawhide. So I disabled all the other repositories and enabled rawhide. (Fedora and rpmfusion, living rpmfusion enabled was probably a bad idea) Then I ran $ yum update --skip-broken (as I was having trouble with vlc) While installing I noticed yum encountered some errors. Most of then said, "bash: xmalloc: cannot allocate <some numbers> bytes allocated 0 byte" After yum was done it said it failed to update several packages. When I tried to reboot my desktop froze after logging me out halfway. I had to do a hardboot but that got stuck too after some error messages from init. Then I tried booting to runlevel 3 with no luck. Finally I could boot using the DVD choosing to rescue. But after the disk gets mounted at /mnt/sysimage when I do chroot /mnt/sysimage, I get the same error as yum was showing while installing, "bash: xmalloc: cannot allocate <some numbers> bytes allocated 0 byte" I have a separate /home so my data is most likely safe, but how do I make this bootable again? What did I do wrong that things went so bad? I would still like to upgrade to rawhide, any help with this will be a lifesaver. Thanks in advance. -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
