Arch hangs during install

Newest version of arch hangs for me during install. I've tried the options
noacpi apci=off ide-legacy
it starts to load, gets to the word "Ready." and then does nothing.
Ideas?

Windows 7 hangs during install on HP Pavilion a Media Center 1320n

Windows XP Media is currently on machine. I tried to install Windows 7 Ultimate Edition. When the computer rebooted the installation would hang during the complete installation. I tried several times and the same thing happened. I reformated the hard drive and tried to install the same OS using a USB flash drive and got the same results. I reformatted again and tried to install Windows Vista Ultimate Edition and got the same results. The only OS I can install on this machine is Windows XP. Can anyone tell me what needs to be done to install Windows 7.
I upgraded the Bios with version 3.24 before I began the installation.

Another update in case anyone might be having the same problem.. Found out what the problem is.. But still have not resolved it.. I did another fresh install of Win7. Joined the domain and rebooted. When it came back up I checked the network and sharing center. It is showing "Identifying". Start> Run> firewall.cpl . It is showing Public network as my current connection. I unplugged my network cable and plugged it back in. It now shows domain network. Log offs work fine. After reboot it goes back to doing the same thing. I tried with both DHCP and a static IP. Both ways, same problem. So it works fine if the location is set to domain network but not to public (which i guess it automatically puts it in to if it cant identify the network). Sometimes it will go to work network. Logoffs take roughly 30 seconds compared to 8 min. on a public network or 2 seconds on a domain network.
We do have a group policy that disables security center. It will disable the firewall and other features when it is set to domain network. But not for the work or public locations.
The other policy we have in place is for Kerberos. Kerberos is disabled by default in windows 7 but is needed for our SAP to work. When we run a packet sniffer on the machine it is showing a lot of back and forth traffic with our DC and the protocol just shows Kerberos. So my next test is to remove the GPO for Kerberos and see if that makes a difference.
The funny thing is; I have a Precision 380 sitting right aside of it. Running Windows 7, joined to the same domain, connected to the same switch, in the same OU and it doesnt have a problem..

Basis Guy,
I followed your instructions, and the problem still exist. Per note 908911, I added "SAP_BC_JSF_COMMUNICATION" role to the SAPJSF user in the backend ABAP system. I've tried starting and stopping
the System through SAP MMC, and I see the following (solman is our hostname):
solman 0 - The AS ABAP work processes start sucessfully, the AS Java processes, show three processes, with two in the stopped state:
1) SDM - state is stopped
2) Dispatcher - state is running
3) server0 - state is stopped, with a return code of -11113
solman 1 - shows 2 processes
1) Msg Server - running
2) Enqueue Server - running
From SAP MMC, I look at the Developer trace for the 2 stopped processes (SDM and server0). This brings up the dev_server0 log, and the dev_sdm log. In both files, I see the following error:
[Thr 3712] JStartupICheckFrameworkPackage: can't find framework package C:\usr\sap\MES\DVEBMGS00\exe\jvmx.jar
When I look for this file, it does not exist. Is this my problem, and where does this file come from during the install?
From the Syslog of SAP MMC, I see three errors when starting the system, in this order:
Process Type: DP Message ID: GZZ
SAP-Basis System: > 1 possible network problems detected - check tracefile and adjus
Process Type: RD Message ID: Q01
SAP-Basis System: Operating system call           recv failed (error no. 10054)
Process Type: D0 Message ID: R49 User: SAPJSF Client: 001
SAP-Basis System: Communication error, CPIC return code 020, SAP return code 223
Also, I see the following error in the defaulTtrace.0.trc file:
#com.sap.security.core.server.secstorefs.FileIOException: I/O error on file "
solman
sapmnt
MES
SYS
global

SecStore.properties".
java.io.FileNotFoundException:
solman
sapmnt
MES
SYS
global
security
data
SecStore.properties (The requested operation cannot be performed on a file with a user-mapped section open)
However, I see that this file does exist, but what does it mean "a user-mapped section is open"?
As for the configtool, Global Server Configuration, when I look for all instances of J2EE_GUEST or SAPJSF, only two parameters show up:
ume.login.guest_user.uniqueids = J2EE_GUEST
ume.r3.connection.master.user = SAPJSF
Looking in the ABAP System (via SU01), I see that J2EE_GUEST shows password deactivated. Is this correct?
Please advise.
Rick
Sunny,
Not sure what you mean by update the latest logs from sapinst.log.   I've displayed the sapinst.log in the original post. I may just be misunderstanding your request.
Let me know if there is more info that you need.

ITunes hangs during install in Windows 7 64bit.

I've been having trouble installing iTunes on my Windows 7 Pro 64bit. It hangs at the same place every time. I opened up task manager and found the culprit, DiFXInstall64.exe. When I kill this process, iTunes continues and finishes the installation. Why does it do that? What is DiFXInstall64.exe? And does it cause any problems if I kill the process and iTunes installs as usual? Will that damages the program and give trouble later on?

http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/driver/install/difxfaq.mspx
DifX componentry is used to install the GEAR drivers itunes uses for importing and burning CDs. After the install goes through for you, are there any messages (when opening iTunes for example) indicating that there's trouble with your iTunes burning and importing capabilities?

Satellite A205-S6808 - Vista hangs during install

Hey All,
I've been trying to re-install/install my Vista OS on My Satellite 205-6808. But I get a pxe-e61:media test failure check cable. (But the HDD is installed properly) Then it will sit at idle for a while then windows green lights blink in sequence for a little and the a Arrow and just hangs until I shut it down.
I dont think that Vista really starts to install but it see something on the old drive. I'm trying to use the disk that came with the laptop but when I read the instructions it tell me to go online to "http://vista.toshiba.com/getready/upgradeadvisor" but I cant there's no way for me to get there.
The laptop does not load any type of internet capability.
Please help and please advice. I cant go out and buy a new laptop for the drivers I for camera and telescope are not made for W7
Thanks
Bruce

Try please to set BIOS to default settings and try to start recovery installation again. This PXE message occurs when notebook cannot find any bootable device and as last one try to use LAN card.
After changing BIOS to default settings check please if HDD is listed properly in BIOS on the first page.
> I'm trying to use the disk that came with the laptop but when I read the instructions it tell me to go online to "http://vista.toshiba.com/getready/upgradeadvisor" but I cant there's no way for me to get there.
Never heard about that. You must just start recovery installation.
After notebook start press F12 to enter Boot options. Put recovery disc into optical disc drive, choose DVD/CD on the list and press ENTER.
Please try all this and send some feedback.

Fresh installed arch hanged with Skype in wmii during video call.

Fresh installed arch hanged with Skype in wmi during video call. The keyboard stopped reacting to any keys, including Ctrl+Alt+F1 (F2, F3, F4, F5, F6), Ctrl+Alt+Backspace.
The timer was actually working but updating in 3-5 seconds. While I had powerful laptop (i5 2.6GHz, 8Gb RAM). So,... I had to use power button to restart.
Any ideas how to avoid this in future?
Dis anybody experience similar issue?

Arch Live CD x64 hanging during boot at "triggering uevents"

Hello!
I recently was recommended Arch by a friend, and after I followed the 'Newbies Guide' and burning a live CD to install Arch with, it appears to hang during Live CD boot at "installing uevents."
I am trying to install Arch as a dual boot on a late 2008 MacBook Pro which is currently running x64 Windows 7. I have plenty of HD space (100gb free and 100gb unallocated to install Arch onto).
Here is a picture:
http://i.imgur.com/Y8P41nf.jpg
I get the same error weather I try to install x64 or i686 (I think that's what it's called). Is there any reason for this?
Thank you!

Thanks! I tried googling it myself but got mostly answers that didn't work. I'll try this!

I have a MacBook 7,1 which i recently installed a PNY 250 SSD and added some RAM. The laptop was running awesome with OSX 10.6.8, lightning fast. Then I installed Yosemite. There was a bit of hang during the install, but Yosemite came up no issue

Then I installed Yosemite. There was a bit of hang during the install, but Yosemite came up no issue when I rebooted. Here is the problem:
Every other time I boot the MacBook it hangs at a grey screen with the prohibitory sign. Verbose reveals a "still waiting for root device" error. Now if I reboot from that hang, it boots fine, but then will hang again the next time. It keeps alternating like this. Any ideas??
I am not running any third party trim software, so that's not the issue.

Optimizing system performance hangs during Tiger install

When I try to install Tiger on my Powermac G3 B&W it gets to optimizing system performance and hangs there for hours and when I reboot it starts to install off disk 2 and it hangs again at optimizing system performance part of the install. What do I need to do to fix this because I need to get the computer going

*Hi Colton, Welcome back* to Apple's Users Help Users Forums.
Were you using the puter during Install—that's a no-no.
Follow standard precautions as listed all over the forums:
Quit all apps
Unplug all except KB and Mouse.
Repair Disc via Install Disc. Repair Permissions via HD. (That one receives some debate but it's quick.)
etc.

Arch hangs/freezezs like Windows XP

i have installed Arch i686 on my AMD64 without any trouble. then i did "pacman -Syu" and read all the output/messages after installation and rebooted. no problems. sometimes Arch hangs/freezez like Windows . then it stops responding to any action i take, the only option is to manual reboot from Cabinet button :-(
e.g. i give it a command "ls" and hit Enter then it just hangs in there at command line. this i not specifically related to "ls", sometimes it hangs while i am trying to login. i login my name and Enter and it hangs/freezes like if waiting for some more input. one more thing i have noticed is, then i can go to another tty using "C-A-F2/F3/Fx" and when i try to login there, it hangs there too. it means whenever it hangs then all ttys get into the problem. i have already installed Arch from this this CD 2 times earlier without any problem.
i tried to install CRUX but i get a message, something like this, during installation. i posted it because i thought, it would help in solving the problem:
ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErn 0x0 action 0x2 frozen
ata1.00: cmd ca/00:50:3f:c0:ed/00:00:00:00/e1 tag 0 cdb 0x0 data 40960 out
ata1: port failed to respond (30 sec, status 0xd0)
ata1:00 revalidation failed (errorno = -5)
what is the trouble? i have 80GB Serial-ATA Seagate.

you switched the sata cable from port 1 to port 2 (of MOtherboard) ?
or you put a new sata cable on the same port?

seatools exist are for DOS and Windows only. i think i need to email them that i bought a new SAMSUNG hard disk, since they do not have seatools for Linux based GNU OS.

Disk utility hangs during disk verify

Initially 'disk verify' registered errors on exit - minor error/issue it said,some kind of header problem, so I ran disk utility off the install disk. Now the machine's native version of disk utility hangs during disk verify, blue & white spirals forever.
This coincidentally straight after my gmail/google address/account was hacked a couple of days ago.

Have you tried booting in SafeBoot mode (shift key held on start
until login screen appears) then launch Disk Utility and then run
its 'repair disk permissions' item, selecting the Macintosh HD;
and then note the repair window. It should fix something.
And when Disk Utility is done, quit it, and restart the Mac normally.
{...It is unlikely something from gmail affected your computer unless
you open up unknown sourced emails or go to odd web sites where
something may be downloaded from there, which you would almost
have to install (as admin, etc) for malware to work. You can get and
try ClamXAV for free to see if it sees any malware virus content.}
If you use Gmail, and do not log in using the https:// (secure http)
you should change the habit and bookmark the secure login site.
And when booted from the Installer disk and running Disk Utility
from there, see about running "repair disk" and not verify. The
repair choice will verify; but verify will not repair. Could be if
you cannot use the Utility to Repair the issues, and the other
SafeBoot mode and the computer's Disk Utility to get it working
you may need to further troubleshoot and/or get third-party tools.
In any event...
Good luck & happy computing!

"WRITE SAME failed. Manually zeroing." error during install or boot

Hello everyone!
Since the lasts kernels (I'm almost sure it happens since 3.9 because 3.8 worked fine) I can't boot on Archlinux anymore. This error floods my screen and I can't do anything, and because the new Archlinux iso (june 2013) comes with 3.9 kernel it now also happens during installation. Fortunately, I saved the may iso so I still can install archlinux and switch during install to LTS kernel but this is not a good solution. I can't find a solution online, some people have this issue but it seems to be a bit different everytime.
I use Archlinux on a server, with hardware raid : Dell PERC H200a with LSI SAS2008 according to my BIOS. According to http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_3.7, the WRITE SAME SCSI command "allows the same block to be efficiently replicated throughout a block range. Only a single logical block is transferred from the host and the storage device writes the same data to all blocks described by the I/O (commit)". Here is the exact configuration :
- DELL® PowerEdge R210 II
- 1x Intel® Xeon® E3 1220 V2
- HDD: 2 x 1 To SATA2 RAID
- RAID: Hardware, Dell PERC H200, (Raid 1)
So my first problem is that I can't find online if my server is capable of this command (but I don't think so) and then the other issue is that I want to know if I can disable it. I found kernel patches for this issue :
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1898441/ and https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1982051/ (the first link seems to be a better solution).
Then, I checked in the kernel source of 3.9 and I think that this patch isn't implemented (there is no device_write_same_capable function for instance). But kernel patching is not a really good solution, if I have to patch my kernel everytime the main kernel is updated...
After some research, I found that my hardware RAID driver seems (I'm not sure) to be the kernel module "mpt2sas", so I checked both may and june isos of Archlinux and it's the same version (14.1) so it shouldn't be the problem.
Does somebody can help me on this issue ? I don't really know what to do now.
Thanks for reading, if I forgot something or if you want more informations, ask me!
Bye.
PS : My English isn't very good, sorry.
EDIT : I found a part of the solution ! It seems to be an issue with the kernel that doesn't detect properly if my disc is capable of doing WRITE SAME command.
So I have to write "0" in the file "max_write_same_blocks" under /sys. But the problem is that /sys is renewed every boot so I don't know how to make my changes permanent. I made a systemd service file, it almost works, but this solution isn't nice : the parameter is applied lately so errors shows at the beginning and this is not really easy to set up. I prefer a solution like "sysctl" but it seems that it only controls parameter under /proc/sys and not /sys, am I right ?
Moreover, I tried two other things : Ubuntu 12.04 with kernel 3.9.4 works and Archlinux iso with 3.8.10 has max_write_same_blocks > 0 and it also works... So I don't really understand this issue. Maybe in 3.8 the parameter max_write_same_blocks has no effect (or not the same as in 3.9) ?
Here is the systemd file that I made to reduce the issue :
[Unit]
Description=No WRITE SAME
After=local-fs.target
[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/bin/sh -c 'echo 0 > /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0/host0/target0:1:0/0:1:0:0/scsi_disk/0:1:0:0/max_write_same_blocks'
RemainAfterExit=no
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
This is not a good solution, see my next post. I don't delete it in case you want to compare.

I found a solution to disable the WRITE SAME command. That doesn't answer all my questions but it solves my issue. I was looking for a file like "sysctl.conf" but for /sys parameters : you already can do that in Arch, just create a file that ends with ".conf" in tmpfiles.d and add one line per parameter you want to modify. This file will be loaded early at boot.
To disable it in an existing Archlinux installation, add in you file the line :
w /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0/host0/target0:1:0/0:1:0:0/scsi_disk/0:1:0:0/max_write_same_blocks - - - - 0
Read the manpage of tmpfiles.d if you don't understand this line, it depends on your configuration and you can't copy it.
Then reboot and no more error !
If you want to disable it during the Arch install, just change directly the value you want in /sys. You have to do it at the beginning before mounting partitions, for instance just after choosing your keymap.
Bye.

Wireless Works during install.... Does not work after install.

Hiya!
I just finally finished semi-installing from live. it's exciting. I'm stuck at cli trying to get wireless to work.
it's really weird. First- I only have wireless (it's from my downstairs neighbors). I used it DURING the install process- downloaded all of the packages, etc etc.
But when I start up my computer, I get a [FAIL] by network (it does not start up). However, if i # ifconfig wlan0 up, the wireless turns on.
iwconfig does not work
and I cannot scan for networks...
During install, I was able to see the names of every network.
There isn't any sort of password for the router I would like to connect to (and connected to before); it's just a linksys.
My wireless card is intel 5300 and I'm almost certain I installed the 5000 driver package.
Thoughts?
Perhaps I should go to sleeeeeeep..

PLEASE HELP ! While updating My Xperia Z1 , my pc hanged during the process and .

While updating My Xperia Z1 , my pc hanged during the process ( so , installation of update was interrupted , guess it's same as getting your USB connection disconnected )and now the phone won't turn on .
Its shows the Sony Xperia logo , then shows a black lit screen , and that's it , nothing else happens . I can only turn it off by pressing and holding the power+up volume button , but it turns on automatically if plugged in for charging or in PC only till it gets that black screen .
I tried to flash it with a flashtool (Emma) , but it says phone locked , but since it can't even be turned on , i can't unlock it .
It's a store bought phone and is not of any contracts with any mobile service provider or anything like that ....
Funny you know ... my PC had to crash at the moment i was updating it .... my luck ....
Anyways , now please can anyone tell me what i can do ? I'm sure there is a way i can fix it using my pc and other downloadable software , so please can some one help me how i can fix this problem ? I don't care if i lose all the data on it , i just want my phone back ....
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Problem Solved ,Thank you very much !!
For those who might face the problem and stumble upon this thread after googling
Read above mentioned comments
Now here's what I did :
Turned the phone off by power+volume key method , then plugged it in to the pc via USB and opened sony pc companion , entered Support zone , then entered the Update device option , then I Unplugged my device , only after doing this a window pops up with Repair my phone/tablet in blue text , then i clicked on that and followed the simple instructions ..
It's basically what Thommo said , only i was so freaked out at that time that i failed to follow his instructions to the letter
So now my phone is back to normal , and , it got the latest lolipop update !
Problem solved i guess but Thommo , i need to disturb you again with just one more question , since at the very beginning , the update process was interrupted , and now i got lolipop after the repair ,without needing to update again , so has the lollipop been installed properly on my phone or do i need to use any other flashtool to re-install lollipop ?
again , Thank you ...
