As this machine exists as a headless compute server I am just booting into Runlevel 3, which seems to run fine. Here I have run out of time to fix the problem. I suspect this is to do with the GPU drivers as the system still crashes with an "oops" screen when the monitor is connected to the GPU, integrated graphics make more progress. Now the boot process hangs on a single never ending start job when booting into Runlevel 5. Running restorecon on sshd_config failed to fix the problem, so I disabled SELinux. It turned out that SELinux was preventing sshd from reading sshd_config, causing the loop. (To reduce possible errors I have connected the monitor to the onboard graphics, rather than the nVidea GPU as I suspect there may also be a problem with the GPU drivers caused by the update as connected to the GPU I instead hit an "oops a problem has occurred screen".) I booted into single user mode and reverted my changes to the config file, the same problem occurs. Hitting ctrl-alt-F2 I see a looping A start job is running for Hold until boot process finishes up (x/no limit)Īfter a while this reports: Failed to start OpenSSH server daemon.Īnd the loop begins again. While booting, I see a spinning circle of lines for a while, then a cut to a black screen with a grey bar on the left where the process hangs. Then, as the server had been up for 3 weeks or so I decided to run a full yum update and reboot the system.įrom this point on it has failed to boot. To the end of my /etc/ssh/sshd_config file.

I attempted to allow a usergroup "students" to use password log in over ssh by adding the lines: Match Group students Resolution Go to Control Panel System and Security Administrative Tools and open Services.
