Re: [PLUG] rhel hangs after running up2date
|
sm-client is a sendmail client process, IIRC. My bet is that you're
experiencing
a hang while sendmail tries to connect to the network. How long have
you let
it sit at this stage? If you let it sit for a few minutes, say 3 - 5
does it get past
this?
Options might be to boot into single user mode (depends on your boot
loader)
LILO: linux 1
GRUB:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7.3-Manual/custom-guide/s1-rescuemode-booting-single.html
(old link, sure but I bet the directions still apply)
Or you could try the interactive boot that RedHat offers. I've not
messed with that, I'm more
of a single user kind of guy.
Good luck.
