Yast log files from x86-64

Description Chad Groneman 2006-03-02 02:54:17 UTC
With Beta6, After package installation is complete, the system takes several minutes to continue to the next step.  I switched over to the console and ran top, it showed y2base taking 99-100% of my first processor.  It ran for about 5 minutes before it continued on to the next step.

I did this on x86-64, kcoombs saw this on i586 (vmware).

This may be related to bug 153708 (?)
Comment 2 Klaus Kämpf 2006-03-02 11:44:53 UTC
for your description its not clear to me where time is spent exactly.
please attach logs
Comment 3 Kirk Coombs 2006-03-02 15:38:29 UTC
This happens just after completing the package insallation (i.e. after all packages from CD 3 are installed if a default GNOME install is done), and before configuring the hostname.

I will attach my logs, but leave the bug in needinfo for Chad to attach his.

Yast log files from x86-64

NOTE: The log files are large, bugzilla wouldn't let me upload the tgz from save_y2logs, so this is a bz2 file.
Comment 6 Klaus Kämpf 2006-03-03 10:53:00 UTC
From the timestamps in the logs, I don't see 'severarl minutes' spent anywhere.
I do see excessive debug (which is reduced now, but not for beta6). But nowhere a 5 minute delay.

Please try to reproduce it or make the bug description more precise.
Comment 7 Chad Groneman 2006-03-03 19:56:51 UTC
I've found what appears to be the problem in the logs:
y2log-1, line 25,212 and 25,213: These show the end of the RPM install.  All packages are installed.  Shortly after this we start to get XML parser errors, such as this:

2006-03-01 18:40:37 <2> linux(4136) [parser] XMLNodeIterator.cc(errorHandler):235 at line 22, column 1
2006-03-01 18:40:37 <2> linux(4136) [parser] XMLNodeIterator.cc(errorHandler):235 XML syntax warning: Did not expect element name there
2006-03-01 18:40:37 <2> linux(4136) [parser] XMLNodeIterator.cc(errorHandler):235 at line 22, column 1
2006-03-01 18:40:37 <2> linux(4136) [parser] XMLNodeIterator.cc(errorHandler):235 XML syntax warning: Did not expect text in element  TODO  content

y2log, line 26,645: XML errors end.

The time between these lines is 18:44:45 - 18:40:37 = 00:04:07, roughly 4 minutes.

This excessive logging is fixed in autobuild
