ADK Installation root registry not found?

Hi,
I am trying to image some machines in one location and for some reason we aren't able to. Basically it just PXE boots, finds it in the collection and then it is stopped with a command prompt open "x:\sms\bin\x64>" and doesn't do anything after
that.I checked the SMS log and all I see is the following:
ADK installation root registry value not found.
Loaded C:\Windows\system32\wimgapi.dll

Thanks in advance

Back up all data.
Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them.
From the application's menu bar, select
File ▹ Restore Standard Fonts...
You'll be prompted to confirm, and then to enter your administrator login password.
Boot in safe mode to rebuild the font caches. Boot again as usual and test.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions.
Also note that if you deactivate or remove any built-in fonts, for instance by using a third-party font manager, the system may become unstable.

[PPC] new install fails to boot: root partition not found

Hi,
new ArchPPC installation on a iMac G3. It does not boot further than initramfs because root partition is not found. I get something like:
Root device /dev/sda4 doesn't exist
Attempting to created it
ERROR: unable to determine major/minor number of root device /dev/sda4
then I get a dropbox recovery console but keyboard doesn't work.
I chroot in the installed system to change mkinicpio pata hook to ide, regenerated initramfs but that didn't help.
Any guidance to diagnose and solve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, sorry I just realized you replied to my thread.
I don't have my mac at the moment, but I must have done something like :
- boot the live CD
- get the output of lsmod
- copy this output to mkinitcpio.conf (the one that's on your HD), remove the autodetect hook
- chroot into your HD setup
- regenerate initramfs
- update yaboot (is this really mandatory?)
- exit chroot and reboot.

[SOLVED] Kernel panic at boot due to root FS not found

When I try to boot using a new kernel version (eg. 3.0.1 or 2.6.39), I get a kernel panic with an "init not found" error message. I haven't been able to get any more detailed error messages, but I assume that there's a problem with finding or mounting my root filesystem.
For now, I'm stuck with 2.6.38.7-1, which boots without any problems. (I keep trying the new kernel, then rolling it back using a Live CD.)
I have a shared EXT4 root and boot partition, and I'm using Grub 0.97. Other than that, I'm not sure what information would be helpful in tracking down this problem, and any help would be appreciated.

No problem.
Here's my full Grub. It has a lot of trial-and-error entries, and I made *-old copies of my 2.6.38 kernel files:

Problems opening iTunes after installation - "QuickTime was not Found"

I am having trouble opening iTunes. Both iTunes and Quick time will download and install and I can open QuickTime without a problem, but when I open iTunes, I get the following error:
Open iTunes and an error opens:
"QuickTime was not found. QuickTime is required to run iTunse. Please uninstall iTunes and then install iTunes again."
I only have trouble when I am at home and not connected to my work network. I was able to start iTunes yesterday while in the office, but all my music is on my external hard drive at home. Not helpful!
I have tried about everything - uninstalled, reinstalled itunes and quick time, disabled bonjour, disabled the startup files, etc. I am still not having any luck.
Any suggestions?

Both iTunes and Quick time will download and install and I can open QuickTime without a problem, but when I open iTunes, I get the following error:
A bit unusual.
Did you do the QuickTime/iTunes install at work?
Is QuickTime still launching when you get the PC home?
(Wondering if something relating to the network at work have done odd things to QuickTime or iTunes registry entries ... possibly iTunes is looking for QuickTime on the wrong drive when you get the PC home, for example.)

Your help is much appreciated.

I edited the logon group from SMLG and added PUBLIC there.
Restarted the connection and the configuration installation went through successfully.

[Solved] - Root device not found - Unable to boot!

Before posting links to other threads or to the pacman/mkinitcpio wiki page please go through the following.
I know that many others are facing a similar problem, but I am posting this after spending 8+ hours (in 2 days) trying to get my system to boot.
And worst of all I don't have a working CDROM so I have to boot via an iso on a pendrive which is very frustating.
The exact message I get after the GRUB menu is:
ERROR: resume: hibernation device '/dev/sda3' not found
ERROR: Unable to find root device '/dev/disk/by-uuid/...'
You are being dropped to a recovery shell.
Type exit to try and continue booting
Now I have already tried the following, by chrooting into my system:
1. As per the pacman wiki page, boot via live arch, chroot and run full upgrade. Then reinstall udev followed by mkinitcpio and then remake the image.
2. Downgrading to linux-3.3.4-2, udev-182-2x86-64 and mkinitcpio-0.8.8-1
3. Rearranging hooks in mkinitcpio.conf (usbinput before udev), and adding ext4 to MODULES array. Done this in both downgraded version and new kernel version (3.3.8-1)
After trying various permutations and combinations, I have failed and haven't been able to get past the first 8 lines after the grub menu.
An important point to note:
I had used the --force switch for 1 more package other than filesystem while updating which I don't remember now. I had to use it because some packages had gotten corrupted while downloading and I had to upgrade in parts. Also at no point during any of these trials did I get an error while rebuilding the initrd image.
If I remove the resume hook in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf then the first line "ERROR: ... " changes saying that "no hibernation device specified".
Please suggest anything if you can!

Do you know the partition that is supposed to be your root partition?
Grub cannot find it by its UUID. Reboot, at the grub menu, highlight the kernel you want to boot, and press 'e'. You are dropped into a simple editor which will allow you to change the boot command. Replace references to /dev/disk/by-uuid/... with /dev/sdan, when n is the root partition number.
One other possibility. Does your system have multiple drives? Any chance the BIOS could be swapping them ? (On second thought, that would not break UUID, But... it is something to be aware of using the technique I proposed)
If you do not know the partition arrangement, use that limited recover shell you mentioned to go look around and determine it.
Hmm, Thanks for this advice but I can't help saying that I'm not a noob .
Somehow the problem resolved itself with the new kernel update which came about half an hour ago (3.4.2-2). Suppose it will remain a mystery now!

[SOLVED]kexec into arch fails : root device not found

Hello,
I have a fresh arch install with only base, base-devel and openssh.
I boot on penbuntu, at this point I can see my devices in /dev.
Then I mount my root arch partition on /mnt/rootfs and do :
kexec --load /mnt/rootfs/boot/vmlinuz-linux --initrd=/mnt/rootfs/boot/initramfs-linux.img --command-line="root=/dev/sda3 ro vesa video=vesafb"
which returns :
setup_linux_vesafb: 1280x720x32 @ 10028000 +708000
I then do kexec -e, It seems to start loading the kernel since the screen is cleared and each time it does
[0.845500] i8042: No controller found
:: running early hook [udev]
:: running hook [udev]
:: Triggering uevents...
Waiting 10 seconds for device /dev/sda3 ...
ERROR: device '/dev/sda3' not found. Skipping fsck.
ERROR: Unable to find root device '/dev/sda3' /
You are being dropped to a recovery shell
Type 'exit' to try and continue booting
sh: can't access tty: job control turned off
[rootfs /]#
I tried everything as root in the kexec --command-line, root=LABEL, root=UUID but it always do exactly the same thing, waits for 10s for device and then ERROR and drops to the recovery shell.
Any idea of what's going on ? Why can't it see devices ?
EDIT : If that can help, the kernel from which I am kexecing is 2.6.24.3 and If I try to just chroot I notice :
mount -t proc proc proc/
mount -t sysfs sys sys/
Works but when I :
mount -o bind /dev dev/
It returns :
mount: mounting /dev on dev/ failed: Invalid argument
So somehow I think when the kernel loads it has trouble passing the /dev along and therefore sees no devices. But I still can't figure out what to do.
Thanks in advance

I can't because I'm booting on penbuntu and not arch linux. Anyways the command used in the wiki is similar to the one I'm using.

Installation error - File not found

Dear all,
I am installing Oracle 11gR2 on a server which is running Sun Solaris 10u8 for x64.
I have already performed all steps to prepare for the installation (both hardware and software). When running Oracle 11gR2 installer, I passed all the prerequisite checks. However, when the installation began, it met an error at "Copying files" step, please see screen shot in the following link (it said that it could not found many files in /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0 folder): http://www.mediafire.com/?nx3yjhdajuz
I do not what to do now to install Oracle database software successfully in this machine now, please give me suggestion if anyone know what the problem is.
Thank all of you very much.

Dear all,
There was a confuse of me between using Solaris and MS Windows.
In MS Windows, when I extract a *.zip file which is a part of a big archive file, it will extract all the others part for me. For example, if I have abc_1_of2.zip and abc_2_of_2.zip in a folder, when extracting abc_1_of_2.zip, it also extract the abc_2_of_2.zip and the result is I have a big file with "abc" as the name contains both files.
However, in Solaris, it is not the same. Today I have extracted the second part of the archive and re-do the installation and everything is OK now.
Thank you very much for your help.
Best Regards,
HuyNQ.

ERROR: Failed to parse block device name for '/dev/sda5'
ERROR: Unable to create/detect root device '/dev/sda5'
Dropping to a recovery shell... type 'exit' to reboot
NOTE: klibc contains no 'ls' binary, use 'echo *' instead
If the device '/dev/sda5' gets created while you are here,
try adding 'rootdelay=8' or higher to the kernel command-line
ramfs$
What I have tried:
1.- I have booted with an old Ubuntu LiveCD, and /dev/sda5 seems to be working and healthy, as it mounted flawlessly while in Ubuntu.
2.- I have also found that not even /dev/sda is created from the fallback recovery shell so, obviously, there is no root device to create.
3.- None of the suggested kernel command-line parameters worked: 'rootfstype=ext3' and/or 'rootdelay=8'(I mean, using them separately or both in the same kernel GRUB line) didn't give any positive result, or any behavior change.
And now, two questions:
1.- How can I fix this?
2.- If it's not possible, how can I downgrade the kernel from a LiveCD? I suppose this is possible by booting an ArchLinux LiveCD, chrooting my '/dev/sda5' finding a 2.26.X kernel pacman package and installing, but I'm almost iliterate in kernel issues, and some help would be nice.
Thank you all in advance!
EDIT: Oh, I have also waited for some time to see if the hard disk gets ready after the failed booting proccess but it seems it doesn't, so 'rootdelay=8' wouldn't help anyway, just to give some more details about the problem.

Of course I can, it's quite easy.
First of all, you have to boot from an Archlinux install CD, to have an usable environment. Once you have booted, I will assume a couple of things to make the examples, which are:
"/dev/sda2" is the root partition where the system is currently installed but not booting.
"/dev/sda1" is the boot partition (not needed if you don't have a separated boot partition, obviously).
"/mnt/myarch" is the directory where sda1 will be mounted on the live session.
The kernel version on sda2 is "2.6.27-ARCH", you can find which kernel versions are installed on sda2 by checking the directory names under "/lib/modules/"
Next you have to mount your root partition on any directory and mount the "boot" partition if you have one too:
mkdir /mnt/myarch #Creates the mount directory on the live session, you can use /mnt/ so this command is not neccesary
mount -t auto /dev/sda2 /mnt/myarch #Mount the root partition on the live session
mount -t auto /dev/sda1 /mnt/myarch/boot #Mount the boot partition, if you have to
Now, you'll have to bind three system directories to their true locations on the root partition:
mount -t proc proc /mnt/myarch/proc
mount -t sysfs sys /mnt/myarch/sys
mount -o bind /dev /mnt/myarch/dev
Next step is to use the command "chroot <target> <consolebin>" to "move" the system root to the <target> directory, using the <consolebin> command interpreter:
chroot /mnt/myarch/ /bin/bash
Now, you will be using your system just like if you had actually booted from your hard disk, but running the kernel from the liveCD, so the only remaining step is to generate the initcpio image.
In the example for this step, I will run the mkinitcpio twice, the first one to check that it's correctly generated, and the second to install it, using the parameter "-g". Another thing to keep in mind is that even before chrooting, the liveCD kernel is still running, so you will have tu use the "-k <kernelversion>" parameter to manually specify the kernel to use. Otherwise, mkinitcpio won't be able to find the correct modules to use:
mkinitcpio -k 2.6.27-ARCH #This will simulate the generation, if it runs fine, run the next command
mkinitcpio -g /boot/kernel26.img -k 2.6.27-ARCH #This will actually generate the image
And that's all, this should regenerate a default image. More info about mkinitcpio: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mkinitcpio
Hope this heps
PS: Sweden, nice country .
I follow this guide and I saved my Arch installation. I don't know why the HOOKS array in my mkinitcpio.conf just contains "base" :-?
So, just before regenerate the ramdisk image I edit my /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and add all the neccessary hooks and generate. I can bring my Arch box back to life

Error in AS 904 installation: systeminfo.h not found

Hi,
I tried to install AS 904 Infra on a newly installed Redhat AS3.
I followed all the instructions in the quick installation guide. There was no problem until configuration step. The java security config cannot be completed and installation failed.
I find the following line in the oraInventory_location/logs/oraInstalltimestamp.err file:
Skipping systeminfo.h: No such file or directory
I have little experience on Linux. What shall I do the fix the problem?
Thanks!

Here is the text from the log file.

Installation - owsctl command not found

I have installed 9iAS release 2 on a Windows Server 2003 machine.(My first time.) The infrastruction was installed on a different machine.
When I enter "owsctl status -nodemgr" at the command line, I get the response: " 'owsctl' is not recognized as an internal or external command..." Do I need to set an environment variable? I don't see any such instruction in the installation guide.

i have already pasted the result of the id command.
i followed the sequence of the oracle docs. i added the packages, as i think problem will be in the bash profile. im not sure.
this is the code i added.

Filesystem check failed, root partition not found

Hi all,
Since yesterday I receive the following error message when booting into Arch:
:: Mounting root filesystem read-only [ OK ]
:: Checking filesystems [BUSY]
/dev/sda4: no such file or directory
*************** FILESYSTEM CHECK FAILED *******************
* Please repair manually and reboot ...
The device /dev/sda4 is my root partition, which is - after entering the root
password - mounted as /dev/root. Checking the partition with 'reiserfsck
/dev/sda4' does not give any error or warning messages. I can also
successfully remount and access it with 'mount -n -o remount,rw /'.
'ls -l /dev/sda*' gives me the following:
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 0 Apr 28 16:32 /dev/sda
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 1 Apr 28 16:32 /dev/sda1
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 2 Apr 28 16:32 /dev/sda2
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 3 Apr 28 16:32 /dev/sda3
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 4 Apr 28 16:32 /dev/sda4
So the device itself seems to be there. Rebooting doesn't help, neither does
using older, working kernel versions.
I also checked other topics on similar subjects, but I couldn't find any solution.

Hmm, it doesn't work even with the UUID. But the error looks similar:
Failed to open the device UUID=672f076e-131c-4220-81ba-b30639ef9285: No such file or directory
But when I call rc.sysinit manually directly after entering the root password,
everything works fine. It does work with sda as well as uuid notation.
I manually added some code before the output of the '*** FILESYSTEM CHECK FAILED ***' message:
ls -l /dev/sda*
sleep 1
ls -l /dev/sda*
The result was:
ls: cannot access /dev/sda*: No such file or directory
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 0 Apr 30 09:12 /dev/sda
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 1 Apr 30 09:12 /dev/sda1
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 2 Apr 30 09:12 /dev/sda2
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 3 Apr 30 09:12 /dev/sda3
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 4 Apr 30 09:12 /dev/sda4
So it seems that the devices are really not yet created. Is it a udev problem?
I am not aware of changing anything udev specific, maybe an updated version?

Root Node not found in Data Object

Hello Everybody,
When I create Data Objects in MI Server, I am not able to see the root node.
I could find Backend Adapter and Flow Definition, but not the Root node.
Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong. Please help me.
Thanks,
Sneha Singh.

Hi,
The problem is because of your BAPI signature only.
The tables parameter of getList and importing parameter of getDetail should be of same structure.
i.e.)
FUNCTION ZBAPI_CUST_GETLIST.
""Local Interface:
*" EXPORTING
*"     VALUE(RETURN) LIKE BAPIRET2 STRUCTURE BAPIRET2
*" TABLES
*"      ZCUST_DET STRUCTURE ZCUST_DET
FUNCTION ZBAPI_CUST_GETDETAIL.
""Local Interface:
*" IMPORTING
     *VALUE(BAPIKUNNR) LIKE ZCUST_DET-CUSTOMER*
*" EXPORTING
*"     VALUE(RETURN) LIKE BAPIRET2 STRUCTURE BAPIRET2
*" TABLES
*"      ZBAPI_ORDERS STRUCTURE ZBAPI_ORDERS
Change this and try. If its not working then include your header structure as exporting parameter in getDetail
i.e)
FUNCTION ZBAPI_CUST_GETDETAIL.
""Local Interface:
*" IMPORTING
*"     VALUE(BAPIKUNNR) LIKE ZCUST_DET-CUSTOMER
*" EXPORTING
*"    VALUE(ORDER) LIKE ZCUST_DET STRUCTURE ZCUST_DET
*"     VALUE(RETURN) LIKE BAPIRET2 STRUCTURE BAPIRET2
*" TABLES
*"      ZBAPI_ORDERS STRUCTURE ZBAPI_ORDERS

Dhana

NIDAQ 6.9.1 problem installation: daqlv51fra.cab not found

during the installation of Ni DAQ 6.9.1 the setup program ask me the file daqlv51fra.cab .
Should I download other files from the web moreover the daq setup?
thanks

They cab file you are missing is the LabVIEW support file. I assume when you installed NI-DAQ you asked to add support for LabVIEW 5.1 in French? You can download the cab file from:
http://digital.ni.com/softlib.nsf/websearch/2314D9A521CD5A4786256A460068BC88?opendocument
Hope this helps.
