Windows 8 and ArchLinux dual-boot - Failed to open file: arch\boot\...
Hey!
I have a problem where I don't know how to configure the EFISTUB to boot ArchLinux along Windows 8. I have read the instructions on the wiki and tried for two days and the only thing I've come up with is copying some files into the /boot/efi/EFI/arch/ folder, and adding the entry into the UEFI boot menu. I can select it when Restarting Windows8 through the shift-restart thing and stuff but when it attempts to boot it says:
Failed to open file: arch\boot\archiso.img
I don't know how to set this up and fix it. I am so confused with everything right now due to the instructions on the wiki basically being "You can either do it this way, that way or any other way." but does not specifically expain how each works (at least so that I understand it fully) and what has to be done to complete these steps. Like, I need a complete tutorial from Start to Finish, to do this because I'm too nervous messing up my partitions. I have understood some parts thought and what I want is to be able to boot it from the EFISTUB instead of chain-booting like I usually do. I just don't know how to connect the entry in the list to the proper files to boot the system.
What I have done:
Installed the base system.
Istalled grub in the base system but has not used grub to install on the /boot yet because I don't know if it is to be used if I'm supposed to use the EFISTUB (I was thinking efibootmgr would be enough)
Tried to use efibootmgr to make the entry, but the entry does not work. (If this is how I should do it, can you explain which partition to target and what the different values would mean when answering?)
I don't know which one is right, or if both shall be done (I guess Grub is used if I want to chain-load. I guess I can do it if it's the only way)
Anyway, I hope you guys can answer me so I can fix this. Thanks
What you're trying to do now is:
EFI->kernel (EFI stub)
This is appealingly direct, but it's tricky to get working. What the wiki now recommends is:
EFI->gummiboot->kernel (EFI stub)
...or...
EFI->GRUB->kernel
These approaches are less direct, but they're easier to configure. The trouble is that both the EFI's built-in boot manager and the EFI stub loader are tricky to configure. For a newbie to get them both configured correctly on a first attempt at installing Arch is very difficult. Getting the EFI to launch gummiboot or GRUB is easier because these programs don't require the complex parameters that the EFI stub loader requires. Those parameters can instead be specified in the gummiboot or GRUB configuration file, which is easier to manage for quite a few reasons.
If you want to pursue using the EFI stub loader directly, you certainly can. I've learned from experience, though, that it's not worth my time to try to help with users who want to do this. Using an intermediary program is easier to get working. IMHO, the direct approach has no real benefits except that it gives you bragging rights that you've done it. Your system won't boot any faster or more reliably in the more direct approach. (Well, technically it will be faster, by only by a matter of milliseconds, assuming you use a 0 timeout value in gummiboot.) In fact, it will be less reliable, because gummiboot, GRUB, and rEFInd all offer ways to adjust boot options on a boot-by-boot basis, which is very helpful when fixing problems. You can't do this with the direct approach.

3000 H230 Windows 7 and XP Dual Boot
I am planning to buy this Lenovo H230 3022-1MU computer preloaded with Win7. However I'd want to make it dual-bootable to WinXP also. Is it possible? Does this model supports WinXP? The following link indicates there are drivers for XP I can get for this model:
http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/in/en/driversdownloads/APR_Driver_List.aspx?CategoryID=667183&OS=W... XP
Does anyone know for sure whether this approach can be done?
Thanks.
MickHave you tried anything yet? (being that this is from APRIL) Per the link it does support XP. The only thing is that XP has to be installed first. Best way to do it is to install XP to at least a 10-20g partition. Then install Win7 to at least a 30-40g partition. Then format the rest of the partition to NTFS so that both XP and 7 can share it. If you do not have the win7 disk then you would need to create the recovery disk yourself. XP needs to be installed first, if not it will override the boot sector and it will only load XP.

ATI display driver lost with Linux and XP dual boot os
I brought ThinkPad W500 with windows vista. I want to get rid of the hidden boot system reserved partition and downgrade to windows xp and install OpenSuse os. Following some sourses found on the web, I first set the bios sata ahci mode to compatable mode. Then install windows xp and update the sata driver. Restart and reset the bios sata back to ahci mode. It works fine with windows xp and I install back all driver. Finally I install OpenSuse and create dual boot with Grub.
But a serious problem come up with me. Everytime after restart from the linux os and back to windows xp, xp doesn't regonize the ATI display divice and tell me no driver installed with low screen resolution. And I have to restart the machine and boot direct into xp for the second time and the problem gone. But it is so annoying of doing this everytime. Anyone can help? Many thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.Hi stanleyimko,
I don't have an answer, just a couple of questions:
Does your W500 have switchable graphics? If so, you may have to turn off "let the OS detect" or permanently select one or the other in BIOS. XP isn't switchable aware, so I don't know why that would make a difference.
Do you see the problem on cold (re) boot to XP, or only on warm reboot from Linux to XP?
Seems like something is leaving your BIOS in an odd state (I guess that's obvious) and maybe a cold reboot would sort it.

Uninstall Linux and Grub dual boot from Win7 HP dm4..
uninstall Linux and Grub dual boot from Win7 HP dm4. I only have recovery disks. I just want to do a Startup Repair not a full system recovery.
When I reboot with the recovery disk there is no choice for Startup Repair.
thank you for any help.
Blue JacketHello bluecape. I understand you'd like to uninstall Grub/Linux. Is your recovery disc a Windows Recovery disc or the HP System Recovery disc?
You will need to begin by fixing the "Master Boot Record." This is where Grub is installed and what allows you to select your operating system. If you have a HP System Recovery disc the steps may be different--these steps are specifically for a Windows Recovery Disc. Try the following.
Boot the notebook with your Recovery Disc.
Select "Repair your Computer."
Select your Windows version once the dialog box populates.
Choose "Command Prompt" as your Recovery Tool.
From the command prompt type "bootrec /FixMbr" and press Enter.
Once this is finished type "exit" and press Enter.
Take the disc out and reboot the PC. It should boot straight into Windows without a boot loader prompting you.
The Linux files and partitions are still there but you can now remove those partitions from Windows. Simply format the partitions to "uninstall" Linux.
I hope this is helpful. If you have further questions just let me know. Have a great day!

I am running windows 8, 64 bit, & suddenly have a problem opening files, I have to keep re-booting - is there anything in preferences I can change?
The clipboard error means that the OS or some other application messed up when placing data on the clipboard.
The reboot to open files means that something has gone wrong at the OS level (otherwise just relaunching Photoshop would work). We've heard from a few other users with that problem, but never heard back from them what was wrong with their system to cause that behavior. My guess is a bad driver or malware. -
Hello experts,
I am doing system export.
as per the system copy guide I follows all steps.
when I tried for export preparation.
I got following error in "/tmp/sapinst_instdir/ERPEhP4/LM/COPY/DB6/EXP/CENTRAL/AS-ABAP/PREEXP/R3ldctlExport.log"
ERROR: failed to open file "/db2/PRD/sapdata4/export_prd/ABAP/DATA/SAPSTR.LST"
/db2/PRD/sapdata4/export_prd is my export directory.
but I found that the "SAPSTR.LST" is not exist in the location.
also I don't find any log regarding this error.
how to resolve this? please guide.Hi Rupesh,
In continuation of previous mail, there is keyboard problem hence spelling mistakes.
Various possible solutions:
Report SMIGR_CREATE_DDL has to be executed before starting export preparation.
OR
Download llatest kernel patch and apply them in /spmnt/<SID>/exe
make sure download latest patch R3ldctl file and R3load from SAP Marketplace and apply them in to /sapmnt/<SID>/exe.
Make sure export dump folder should be in local drives (in windows) or local filesystems i.e.do not use network drives (windows) or NFS (in case of unix).
FInally check permission by using chmod 777 in exportdump folder in case of unix.

Does anyone has an idea ?
Thanks *T
Edited by: tbrinkmann on Apr 20, 2011 5:15 AMHi Paul,
yes the ASM is down.
That was confusing me. If I shutdown the other node the +ASM can start and clustering com´s up normal.
It looks like only one node can use voting or ocr....
The behavior looks like the interlink is down buts is not ;:-(
One node ( first com´s up) start normally and take all cluster resources ...scan .. the vips..
And second node show this error mess..
Thanks

Same thing is written in trace file as well.
There is only one database P0347 is running and diskgroup M0347_DG1 was for other database M0347 which is discontinued so diskgroup M0347_DG1 was dropped.
But why it is looking for spfilem0347.ora, please let me know how to rectify it.ORA-17503: ksfdopn:2 Failed to open file +M0347_DG1/m0347/spfilem0347.ora
The database P0347 has nothing to do with the issue . right?
Probally you don't removed database M0347 from OCR and CRS was trying to start database.
Using $ORACLE_HOME of Database
$ srvctl config database -d M0347
If it's registered in OCR you should remove it.
This command will remove database.
$ srvctl remove database -d M0347
Check if Diskgroup is registred.
Using $ORACLE_HOME of GI
$ srvctl config diskgroup -g M0347
If registered in OCR you can remove it.
$ srvctl remove diskgroup -g M0347 -

When I try to open an image by double clicking on it in Bridge, I get a message telling me to log in to Creative Cloud. I am running CS6, and the default should be to open files in Photoshop 6 or in Adobe Raw (if it's a Raw file). I don't want to log into CC since I am not a subscriber, and this means that I have to work around, and go back to Bridge, and tell it to open the file in Adobe RAW. However, this does not work for older psd files which for some reason cannot be opened in RAW. How do I return to the process of simply allowing RAW files to open automatically in Adobe RAW, and simply right clicking on the image in Bridge to bring up the option of opening it in Photoshop?
