AHCI and GRUB don't like each other

Hello everyone!
Yesterday I wanted to give Arch Linux another try, but GRUB failed to boot my HDD -> GRUB error 21. That's when I installed Arch Linux in AHCI mode. When I installed it in IDE mode, everything worked fine. So, I tried to enable AHCI afterwards: GRUB gave me error 21 again. I followed this guide http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AHCI to enable AHCI after the installation. I tried installing GRUB on first HDD, on second, even tried to install on GPT (created via gparted / Ubuntu Live), but GRUB just kept giving me errors (error 17 this time). I used Auto-prepare, when I installed Arch on an MBR drive, but I had to use "Set mountpoints", when I installed Arch on a GUID partition. I chose "label" method to recognize the drives at startup. I was using a USB drive to install Arch Linux (2010.05), but I also tried a CD (with lots of I/O errors).
My Setup:
Intel Core i7-860 @ stock
Gigabyte GA-P55-UD5 with AHCI ROM 1.20E / F10 BIOS (latest stable bios)
640GB Western Digital Caviar Black (sda / MBR / Windows XP on ~140GB Partition / ~465GB unlocated)
640GB Western Digital Caviar Black (sdb / MBR / 100MB boot / 8192MB swap / 16384MB root / ~520GB home)
LG GH24NS50 Super-Multi Drive
4GB Corsair DDR3
Radeon HD5870
The whole setup works fine in Windows 7 / XP with AHCI enabled.
Can someone tell me, what I'm doing wrong?
Thank you for your time,

Edit: Hey, I just tried it again. I used gparted to create a GUID partition table on my second HDD, enabled AHCI mode in BIOS and run the setup with USB again. This time, I chose UUID. However, the bootloader didn't install at all (error 17; unable to mount). I also tried to install the bootloader on the first HDD, but GRUB gave me error 17 again. This is so frustrating.

Did you use mkinitcpio with the achi module? See the wiki for ahci.
I followed this guide http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AHCI to enable AHCI after the installation.
I also edited the mkinitcpio.conf during the installation, when I ran an AHCI enabled installation. It probably could be a bug, I'll wait for the results of https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/21086.
Thanks.

  • Firefox 34 and Norton Internet Security (Version 21 ff) Don't Like Each Other and It's Not the Toolbar!

    I have discovered that Norton Internet Security (and Norton 360 as well) version 21 and after conflicts with Firefox version 33.0 and later. I have been running the latest Firefox 34 version. When I upgraded on two of my computers to the latest version of NIS (version 21) Firefox (version 34) froze; indeed it locked up the entire computer. I therefore installed Google Chrome and everything worked fine. I can reproduce this error with Firefox like the flip of a switch; it is very consistent! The conflict, by the way, does not go away by disabling the Norton toolbar. I want to continue to use Firefox, and not Chrome, but I don't want the browser to freeze the machine. I run Windows 7 Professional. Do you have any suggestions?

    Oh... I spoke too soon. I went into my office today and ran Norton 360 (Version 21.6) and Firefox 34.0.5 thinking that all would be well because I shut off Hardware Acceleration. Boy, was I wrong. Norton 360 crashed with the Windows message: "Norton 360 has stopped working; it will be shut down." I immediately shut down the computer (even though someone was actually in my office at the time), rebooted, no longer ran Firefox and did a complete virus scan. All is well if I do not use Firefox 34. And so.... I am going to make my life easier and simply move over to Chrome at least on my office machine. I just don't see any other way out of this predicament. I do this reluctantly because Chrome is much slower than Firefox is especially the way I run it. Firefox 34 and NIS Version 21.6 just don't like each other.
    Thanks for your help. It's been a good thread even though I could never figure this out.

  • Mac and iPhone don't see each other

    This isn't just with Home Sharing, but with other apps that use wifi to connect, specifically iAccounts and iBackup, but I couldn't find a more appropriate community.
    My iPhone and MacBook Pro are connected to the same wifi network, one has 192.168.1.64, the other is 192.168.1.65, both can connect to the internet with no problems, both have full signal strength.  So why can't they see each other?  Sometimes it works, when everything is turned off then back on again, but sometimes that doesn't work.  Last time it worked only after I reset my router, which suggests maybe the router is the problem.  It's a BT HomeHub 3, which probably doesn't mean much to most of you, so give me general advice.  What settings should I look at?  Could it have something to do with my Mac connecting via 802.11 N and my iPhone 802.11 G?  It's a 3GS, so it can't do N.
    Both Mac and iPhone have the latest OS (10.6.8 and 4.3.3).

    I stumbled upon the answer by searching other (non-apple support) sites for this problem.  Apparently (and non-intuitively), "personal hotspot" (aka internet tethering) must first be enabled before attempting to establish a BT link.  The reason I say non-intuitive is:
    Firstly, bluetooth is supposed to be a stand-alone wireless networking protocol that doesn't require another wireless network to be available for it to work.  What other sort of device (computer or otherwise) requires an existing network to be in place before BT will work?
    Secondly, if tethering via personal hotspot is a prerequisite for a BT link, why is there no pop-up message advising of this when BT is turned on?  Something like "Hey idiot, you need to turn on personal hotspot before you can establish a bluetooth link!"  Or better yet, why not automatically turn on the hotspot when the BT button is switched on?
    Thirdly, it really makes the BT shortcut button (in the home screen control center) worthless if you've still got to manually drill down into the settings menu to turn on hotspot anyway.
    I scrubbed all apple user support articles related to using BT and pairing the iPhone with iPad that I could find to make sure I hadn't missed this new requirement somewhere - and I don't see it mentioned anywhere (although I'll admit that steam was coming out of my ears while I read it, so I may not have been in the best frame of mind to catch any new information).  In the BT troubleshooting article, it mentions every check-this and check-that step but nowhere does it say make sure that personal hotspot is also turned on! I submitted feedback at the bottom of the article; hopefully they'll update it.
    Thanks, Lyssa for bearing with me through all of this, which in the end turned out to be a user error.  Although I consign myself to some comfort in knowing that this is not how it worked prior to iOS8.  And as soon as I can find a phone on iOS7 or older, I'll confirm that.

  • Macbook Pro (2010) and iPad don't see each other on same network

    I'm running OSX10.10 on a MacBook Pro 15" mid 2010 and a brand new iPad Air running iOS 8 on the same wifi NETWORK with bluetooth activated (and not) - AND AIRDROP DOES NOT RECOGNIZE EITHER DEVICE!!!! I've gone through every system preference option on both devices and nothing changes - PLEASE HELP

    I went home that night and done the same with AVG antivirus. Can't believe it was as simple as that.
    configure your antivirus software like AVG or Norton to allow file and printer sharing as well as allowing your windows firewall to do the same.  
    Mine was in AVG firewall > settings (or Configure) > system > file and printer sharing......................just click on the dropdown box to allow.
    As soon as I done this I went to my network places and the network files were visable.
    other settings in there also solved my remote desktop problems.
    Why couldn't I have thought of this 6 months ago.

  • IOS 4.2 and Airport Extreme don't like each other

    I have three iPod Touch's - one 3G and two new 4G's. The 3G never had any problems connecting to the Extreme until it was upgraded to iOS 4.2 now it rarely even sees the Extreme even if I am sitting right beside the router. The 4G's also rarely even see the Extreme. Occasionally they will "connect" but I do not actually get an IP address and thus no actual internet connection.
    I did set up a guest network on the Extreme sans security so I could ty and connect with any WEP/WPA issues. Again the iPods will sometimes see the Extreme but when it "connects" I almost never get an IP address. On one occasion I was able to connect to the guest network and did get an IP address and a net connection but it was so slow it was essentially unusable.
    All three iPods will connect to other routers (non-Airport Extreme) without any problems. Fortunately all 3 devices can also connect to my MiFi without any problems whatsoever.
    My Mac Mini connects wirelessly to the Airport Extreme without any problems and I have other devices connected to the Airport Extreme via ethernet cabling and all work without any problems.
    I have tried all the usual resets, restarts, etc. to no avail.
    I was going to go ahead and just buy a new Airport Extreme thinking that perhaps the problem may just be with the radio transceiver part of the router. However, since the Mac Mini connects wirelessly just fine the radio transceiver in the router is probably ok.
    It appears to me that judging by my problems and from other folks having similar issues with iOS 4.2 devices that there seems to be a serious bug with that iOS version and wifi connections to Apple's own router and apparently some other wifi routers.
    I hope Apple addresses this issue soon!!!

    Do a search on the forums. This topic comes up pretty often. Before you do anyhting esle, though, I'd go here
    http://java.sun.com/getjava/download.html
    and get the updated JVM for XP. XP doesn't come with the latest JVM installed. Instead IE is using the MS piece of crap that they are legally allowed...
    Anyway, if you load the JVM from the auto installer at that link, your IE options (advanced) will be set to use this JVM instead of the MS piece of crap. If you manually download and install (no real good reason to) you will have to change the preference yourself (there're instructions).
    I use XP prof and SDK's for 1.4 and 1.3 plus the websphere eclipse for limited devices and regular Java, and haven't had a problem with any of it -- but I updated the JVM early and made sure IE points to it.
    I also have my XP machine dual boot with SUSE 8.0 Linux. Actually, XP prof has been really stable for me.
    Luck to you

  • PhotoShop cs4 and Illustrator cs4 don't like each other

    Okay I'll make this as simple as I can. Im on Windows 7 64bit.
    I have some graphics I need to get out of illustator and into PhotoShop. I tried the following:
    1. Copy/Paste into PS : Results in crashing PhotoShop.
    2. Disabled PDF in illustrator clipboard preferences tried copy paste again: Results in crashing PhotoShop
    2.5 At this point hitting CTRL + N in PS: Results in crashing PhotoShop. I have to go copy an image out of my browser to clear the clip board so PS will stop crashing
    3. Saving out an .ai file and open it in PS : Results in crashing PhotoShop.
    4. Saving out an .eps file and open it in PS : Results in crashing PhotoShop.
    The only way to do it is to save out a PNG. This however makes the entire smart object feature usless.
    Anyone else having issues.
    This was working fine in the past. The only thing I can think of is the latest Windows 7 update might have screwed up the clipboard. But that is just a guess.

    Photoshop will crash.
    If you have a bad font then you have to find it and the best way is process through elimination. Divide the fonts in half and if Photoshop does not crash then you know the font is in the other half. Keep doing it until you find the corrupt font or fonts. Best way is to try and remember what 3rd party fonts were installed in windows and remove those.

  • Sonnox Plugs and Logic - do they like each other?

    Hi All,
    I'm thinking about getting into Sonnox Plug Ins and just wanted to ask people who are using them with Logic, if Logic's Plug In Delay Compensation works tight with those Plugs. If it didn't it would be a major reason for me not to get them.
    Thank's

    hi,
    yes the Sonnox plugs are good with logic, and you should also try SPL's new lot as well.
    the SPL's aren't really mastering types, but the quality is simply excellent.
    they are very similar is response to a lot of my vintage valve gear, and simple to use.
    also one that's good is Softube's FET comp/lim. only problem is that it can't report it's delay to logic.
    best,
    DR9.

  • Windows 7 computer, and my macbook pro on snow leopard don't see each other?

    My windows 7 computer, and my macbook pro on snow leopard don't see each other. I have configured the windows section under the network prefrences with the required information, and still no luck. Does anyone have any sugestions for me?

    Shouldn't they see each other and let me use each of their files?
    Please pardon the obvious here, but have you checked to make sure that you have enabled the File Sharing option on both computers? You may have already done this, but your post did not mention this, so we can only go with the info that we have.
    If you have not enabled File Sharing, I can't help on Windows, but on your Mac...
    Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
    Open Sharing
    Enter a check mark next to File Sharing
    I imagine that there is a similar setting for the Windows machine
    It would be a good idea to power cycle your entire network as well to make sure that the network is sequenced correctly. Power everything down, order is not important.
    Start your modem first and let it run a moment by itself
    Then start your main router the same way
    Continue starting each device the same way until everything is powered back up

  • How can i design square signal which having a positive and negative values equal to each other and separated from each other by controlled time or distance

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    By the time you spend for the nice diadram you might have done the vi
    Your DAQ like to have a waveform (array of values and dt ak 1/samplerate)
    If you set the samplerate you know the array length , create a array of zeros, and set the values of both amplitudes ... 
    Since I don't want to wire others homework here are some pictures
    And there are some drawbacks is room for improvement in my solution, just think of rounding errors ... and what might happen if the arrays get bigger ....

  • IMac and Macbook can't see each other via Airp

    Except sometimes.
    Using Leopard on both new machines, I can share Internet connections and printers fine. The problem is in trying to mount volumes or share files.
    I create a network on the iMac, connect to it on the Macbook, and use the appropriate password on both machines. I've set file sharing preferences perfectly and confirmed that at the store.
    Sometimes, from the Go menu I can find one machine from the other. Sometimes I can't. When I find them, file sharing and accessing work fine--although for some reason, the volumes do not mount on my desktop! I have to use the Go Network menu item.
    But other times they just don't see each other. I only get this to work by REPEATEDLY logging out of networks, turning Airport on and off, creating new network names, and so forth.
    The worst results come from creating a familiar network with a name and password I've used before. The best results come from creating a brand new network, new name and pswd. And creating the using 128-bit WEP is the worst, but I think that sometimes that works, too.
    My question is, am I doing something wrong, or is this another Leopard/Airport bug?
    Also, if I can access the other computer in Go Network, how come the volume doesn't mount on my desktop??
    Thanks.

    Don't know if this will help - but if you're using an Extreme base station go to the Airport Utility and look at the list of DHCP Clients. I had the same problem only I had an iMac and a Macbook running OS 10.4.11. Turns out that my printer and my iMac were sharing the same IP address. When I assigned a permanent address to the printer (out of the normal distribution range used for the other computers) the problems all went away. So, for instance, if the router was assigning IP addresses ending in 10.0.1.199, 198, 197, etc., and the primary computer ended witih 200, I named the printer 10.0.1.201
    Hope that helps.

  • Applets don't see each other when having certain jar files as archive

    Hi,
    I have read a nice solution for Applet2Applet communication when they are on different html pages (different frames or windows) at http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/javatips/jw-javatip101.html.
    They see each other through a static AppletManager.The idea is working it is really good.
    But when I add a certain jar file to the archive parameter they don't see each other any more. Even more the static initializer of the AppletManager class runs twice. I have also noticed that the ClassLoader of the two applet is different:
    LeftApplet: ClassLoader: sun.plugin.security.PluginClassLoader@10a6ae2
    RightApplet: ClassLoader: sun.plugin.security.PluginClassLoader@13adc56
    If I remove that particular jar from the archive parameter they are the same:
    LeftApplet: ClassLoader: sun.plugin.security.PluginClassLoader@13adc56
    RightApplet: ClassLoader: sun.plugin.security.PluginClassLoader@13adc56
    and the two applets can communicate again.
    And here comes the fun the two applet doesn't use anything from that jar package...
    I would appreciate any help, or link where I could go on whit this issue.
    Attila

    If the jar lists are not identical in each Applet, different classloaders are used:
    archive = "a.jar,b.jar,c.jar" in Applet A, means that in Applet B you must have archive = "a.jar,b.jar,c.jar" or a separate class loader will be used. Do this even if your applets don't use any classes in an included jar.

  • Can get onto Internet but Computers don't see each other

    I've got my Linksys connected via ethernet to a desktop - using DSL. Security enabled.  Had my network set up fine - a wireless laptop sees the intenet connection and the computers saw each other fine (shared disks, etc.)... Today, my DSL went down for a bit - I jumped onto my neighbor's open wireless. My DSL came back up. THe desktop and laptop both see the internet. But they don't see each other any more. I've run those stupid wizards ten times. I've tried creating a new workgroup. They can ping each other. I don't get it.  HELP!

    When changing settings for file/printer sharing on Windows it is always necessary to be patient. The whole workgroup browsing concept of windows requires some time to be up to date. I suggest you run the sharing wizard ones and follow the instructions there exactly.
    Also try to ping the other computers to see if anything goes through.
    As you have "jumped" to your neighbor's network for a moment also make sure you connect to the correct network. Better remove the neighbor's network from your list of preferred networks. Else you end up there accidentally.
    Therefore, you should better setup the sharing while all computers are wired to the router.
    Another possible cause could be the firewall on the computer. Make sure to turn it off to see if it is the problem. Most software firewalls (except the windows firewall) react very sensitive when you just 'jump' to another network and tend to block all traffic by default.Message Edited by gv on 02-09-200701:58 PM

    LOL!  If Home Sharing deleted the other person's library, then Home Sharing wouldn't have too many users, would it?
    Seriously, Home Sharing sounds like a fine solution to the need you express. 
    However, your question suggests that your library is not backed up, right?  You and your husband should each make a backup of your libraries.
