Arch Linux USB installation does not boot Correctly [SOLVED]

Hello,
I created a bootable USB stick with Universal USB Installer on a Windows System.
When I try to boot it, it shows me a Gummiboot Boot Loader Switch, where I can switch between two EFI shells and ArchLinux installation media.
When choosing the installation media, the screen flashes and after that, it shows the following lines:
:: running early hook [udev]
:: running hook [udev]
:: Triggering uevents ...
:: running hook [memdisk]

You can try to fix the problem manually, log out when you are finished
sh: can't accsess tty; job control turned off

In UEFI menu I unabled secure boot and fast boot.
Can anybody tell me what I can do to boot the istallation media correctly?
Thanks for your suggestions

Welcome to arch. I suspect this is the problem:

The error message you get is the same as those encountered by people who try to use unetbootin (eg here). I know Unetbootin does not work to create bootable arch media - perhaps the windows tool also doesn't.
Did you see and follow the tip here? It seems that tool will create working usbs, but you have to fix the label.

Satellite M30-107 does not boot correctly after Recovery disk usage

Hi
I've recently got hold of a second hand toshiba Satellite M30-107 laptop, and decided to freshen it up.
I used the toshiba recovery disk, but after doing so the laptop no longer loads windows.
When turned on it shows the Toshiba start up disk for about a second then goes to a blank screen and freezes.
When turned off and on again a screen comes up reporting an error in shutting down and gives the options to start in safe mode etc. but choosing any of the options causes the machine to freeze.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks
jt

Hi
Sounds a little bit like the notebook does not boot due to the Windows software issue
Did you recover the M30 with the original Toshiba recovery CD which was supplied with this M30 unit?
Maybe Im wrong but for me it looks like a wrong recovery CD was used and an image with non compatible drivers was installed
You could try to install the OS from original Microsoft Win XP CD and could check if it would be possible to get the notebook ruining using clean OS.
In such case we ( you and me ;) ) could find out if this issue could be related to the software or hardware.

X86: Solaris does not boot correctly?

I have installed Solaris on a second hard disk.
When I boot my computer on the second hard disk, I get the Solaris 10 emergency booting system which tries to find out on which hard disk I would like to boot Solaris 10.
Is there a possiblity to save my settings once for all time?
Because on every time I boot, I got the Solaris emergency boot manager to rechoose the disk on which I should boot.

Since a similar thing happens after other updates, it probably is not directly related to "uninstalling google desktop." Does the same thing sometimes happen when you do a regular restart (with no update or uninstall)?
You can try doing a SMU (power management) reset. Before you do that, reset PRAM.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
If that does not help, follow this procedure precisely to reset the SMU
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1767
When you reconnect the power cord, if you were using an power strip of some kind (especially if it's old or overcrowded), try connecting it directly to a wall outlet by itself (at least initially). Start it up with only the power cord connected, then (if it starts up normally), add only standard USB keyboard and mouse. Use it that way for a while to see if there's improvement. If it's better, add your other peripheral devices back, one at a time, to see if the problem returns.

USB-Audio does not work correct on T430/T530

Hi all!
I'm owner of a T430 and a T530. Both are new PCs where I have installed Windows XP. The reason for XP is that I own older software and hardware, which is not supported on Windows 7. But it works fine and I have no reason to change hard- and software as long it fulfills my requirements! And Windows XP runs fine and fast on the T430 and T530.
Only problem is an EgoSys USB Audio interdace U2A. It is possible to install and run it, but there is a problem in the communication between operating panel and the hardware. When I move the slider for the level, the level jumps instead a smooth increase of the level, which means not alle values of the slider are transferred to the hardware. There is a similar behaviour with checkboxes: there are states of the U2A which are indicaed with LEDs. When I change the checkbox, sometimes the LED changes, sometimes not. This errors happen very frequently but not reproducable.
I tried several settings in the BIOS, like disabling one CPU, hyperthreading, USB3 etc. I tried the U2a also on a fresh XP-intallation without other software, but all without success, the behaviour of the U2A is always the same!
I also tested with an ExpressCard with USB-port from LogiLink, but this card does not recognize the U2A at all.
Up to now I have used the U2A on many different PCs without problems. What might be the reason that it does not work on an ThinkPad? Up to now I was very satified with the U2A and I would not like to replace it!

GKap

Hello faith67baillie,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand there is no sound from CDs or your Music folder. I will do my best to help! First, I require the following information, and clarification of the issue:
1. The computer's model number. If you require assistance locating this information, please reference this website: Guide to finding your product number
2. The computer's operating system. If you require assistance locating this information, please reference this website to determine your Windows operating system.
Additionally, if the issue just began occurring, I would perform a system restore. I want you to bring the computer back to the earliest restore point possible, in an attempt to dodge whatever caused the issue. Here is a document on how to perform a System Restore: System Restore

Satellite M40-129 BSOD and does not boot correctly

Hi again.
I was working on my computer since my last question, but (almost) nothing changed.
To the problem:
My Notebook is booting, but only on very rare occasions.
What can happen:
- the screen stays black (almost 50% the case)
- The start screen (Toshiba- In touch with tomorrow) becomes visible and nothing happens then (40% )
- the notebook boots "properly" (10%)
if the notebook boot properly there are 2 options:
1st: I try to start Windows: it crashes with a bluescreen with the nice ask for an BIOS update.
2nd: I start SuSe Linux: EVERYTHING WORKS!
I tried to update the BIOS the traditional way and although it's hard to get it booted it works till short before the end and the computer restarts.
I see no confirmation screen as Im used to.
From this I asume, that the boot-problem is BIOS related.
I read of a BIOS recovery method with a floppy disk, where you copy the BIOS.ROM to the disk and start the notebook with the disk.
My question is: Is it also possible with an CD (have no floppy drive), if yes: how to do this?
I wanted to give it to a service point of Toshiba, but if they cannot fix it, I still have to pay 50Euro. I would pay the money for getting my BIOS restored, but the service point seems to be just a "delivery-service" to the true service point and I would like to speak with a qualified person first :)

>I read of a BIOS recovery method with a floppy disk, where you copy the BIOS.ROM to the disk and start the notebook with the disk.
>My question is: Is it also possible with an CD (have no floppy drive), if yes: how to do this?
Hmm you said you have already received the traditional BIOS files from the ASP in your country. So maybe you should take a look into this Toshiba document:
[How do I update the BIOS on my Toshiba Notebook and where can I get the latest BIOS for my machine?|http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/faq.jsp?z=234&service=EU&from=faq_selection&CFID=B IOS&FID=TRO0000000b07]

System does not boot during Hyper V installation

Hi -
I was trying to install Hyper V on my Windows 8.1 professional edition, 64 bit OS. The installation was through ISO downloaded through MSDN. During installation I had to hard boot my system through switch off. Now my system does not boot correctly and during
boot it flashes a message "The last windows installation did not complete please install the setup". Does this mean that my existing 8.1 OS has crashed ? how can i come out of this and recover my data ?
My hardware configuration is :
i7 processor, 16GB RAM, intel graphics Card, windows 8.1 professional 64 bit OS.

Hi RahuIM,
You can try to enter safe mode then copy your personal data to the data volume then reinstall the system.

W520: Unable to boot from USB - device does not show up in boot menu

I have a W520, and I am trying to boot from a USB key. The USB key is bootable, my old T61p boots just fine from it, and so does another computer I tried.
The W520, after pressing F12 on power on, immediately shows the Intel PXE agent and then some blue boot menu, which only shows hard drive and LAN as available boot options.
I have tried all three USB ports but the results are always the same - the USB device does not show up. Is there any trick or BIOS setting to enable boot from USB?
Thanks,
CS

Hello Neil
Thanks for getting back to me
The issue was that the usb drives were disabled in the bios from the Startup menu.
To enable
1. Enter bios
2. Select boot
3. If you do not see the boot device you require use the down cursor key until the "Excluded from boot priority order" becomes visible.
4. Select the device you require (in my case USB HDD)
5. Save and exit.
You can now boot from a usb stick and install the Linux distro of your choice :-)
Cheers

I have an Apple Configurator install that wont recognize an iPad when I attach it via USB. I cant prepare it or refresh it. It was supervised. I get an error message that says "policy does not have correct profile data". Please help!!!

I have an Apple Configurator install that wont recognize an iPad when I attach it via USB. I cant prepare it or refresh it. It was supervised. I get an error message that says "policy does not have correct profile data". At some point there was a mismatch between the profile on the iPad and the MAC server. The profile on the MAC server has been deleted and the iPad has been erased and reset to default. I need to be able to get Configurator to recognize this device to prepare it for deployment and issue Apps to it. Please help!!

Run the application 'Terminal.app' which you will find in '/Applications/Utilities' on your Macintosh.
Type this into it: defaults delete com.apple.configurator PreprationSavedPolicyDefaultsKey
Hit the return key.
If you get no error message, it worked, and you can quit the app.

After installation of 10.6.5 system does not boot

After I updated my system with the latest release 10.6.5, the system does not boot up at all. It shuts down every time it restarts. All I can do is go into single user mode and then I cannot repair the disk as I always get the error that "The volume Macintosh HD cannot be repaired when it is in use"
Any other suggestions?

It sounds like your friend's DVD is hardware specific to his Mac and will not work in your Mac.
Since you say a safe boot work that generally indicates that the problem is with third party software because the safe boot prevent any of that from starting.

I have done the following:
Downloaded the patched hal version.
used makepkg in /abs/local/trunk/ to create a pkg for pacman
used sudo pacman -U pkgname to install it.
used sudo nano /etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi to create the fdi file with the following content:
saved the file and removed my ntfs entryes from fstab and rebooted. and still there is no automount off ntfs partitions.
have i done something wrong?
br fjodork
WARNING: what follows is a guide of what did work for me, I'm still in an early stage of learning linux, so please correct me if anything of what follows is wrong/dangerous/stupid. As I said, this worked for me, it's not pretty, since I was learning each step on the fly and I'm sure there are better ways to do this.
So fjodork, you seem to have done the the necessary steps, though i couldn't get it to work until i first removed hal without dependencies
pacman -Rd hal
it will give you some warning about the dependencies, ignore it since we are reinstalling hal in a few steps.
First i tried to follow Raymano's link, obviously it showed me nothing in the browser so I thought it might be a broken link.
So I downloaded the source tarball from here http://hal.freedesktop.org/releases/hal-0.5.10.tar.gz
unpacked it changed the /tools/hal-storage-mount.c as per Milfadoodle's instructions.
at first I tried to compile directly from source, the process would finish without a glitch though after reboot nothing changed, as if hal weren't
installed, i guess there were issues with paths. anyway read on
Then repacked the source in tarball, copied it to /var/abs/extra/system/hal and modified the PKGBUILD as follows
makedepends=('pkgconfig' 'gperf')
options=('!libtool')
install=hal.install
source=(${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.gz #removed url so makepkg looks in the current directory for the tarball
hal
hal-policy.patch
cryptsetup_location.patch
hal-0.5.9-hide-diagnostic.patch
ntfs3g-valid-options.patch)
md5sums=('6641c30a27c00485c6accac5110ff911' # replace with md5sum of your package's sourceball (run md5sum filename)
'882f67668cb14a0a9e4a27ef22278027'
'5ba8b610aa9763a5f42b9f7cbd7a86ad'
then makepkg (i had to add --asroot, don't ask why
and finally pacman -U hal-0.5.10-1-i686.pkg
another reboot and everything worked without a glitch!:D (yeah i know i still haven't got rid of the reboot mentality )
I have also put the policy files as per the wiki instructions.
PS: I know this is a dirty way to getting things done but as i said, I'm just starting
If anyone could comment/correct/explain this post I'd be more than happy, the automount issue was bothering me for about a month now (you'll say why do I need ntfs in the first place? well, I only recently switched for Linux as my primary OS, these are some relics of the M$ era

Mac has snow leopard and does not boot has grey screen

IMac has snow leopard and does not boot has grey screen

Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

Toshiba satellite c55t-A5123 . Does not boot any devices.

I have accidentally formated the pre-installed OS in my laptop. Now I try to reinstall it again with win8 installation disk but it does not boot the DVD . i tried to make a bootable USB too but same thing happened. Anyone here can help my problem?
Is there any way to solve it.. Please I really need your help . Thanks in advance :-)

Satellite C55T-A5123
Best to restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media. All the drivers and utilities are properly installed.
If you failed to create recovery media, obtain it from Toshiba. Scroll down to Get Recovery Media here
See the instructions in the section Restoring from recovery media, which begins on p. 56 of the User's Guide.

New MBP i5 does not boot after hard disk swap

Hi there,
I received my new i5 MBP today. After booting it once with the installed HDD to check if it's ok, I exchanged the hard disk for the one in my Late 2008 Macbook Pro. After doing this, my Late 2008 Macbook Pro boots fine with the (new) hard disk from the new i5 MBP, but the i5 MBP does not boot with my old hard disk.
To give you some details:
- I have installed 10.6.3 on the (old) hard disk that's not booting.
- The i5 MBP boots fine from the installation DVD
- Disk utility finds and can read my hard disk, no errors
- PRAM NVRAM reset did not help
- when booting in safe mode, I can see the system stop booting after or while loading Extensions.mkext
My guess is, it tries to boot and load the wrong Extensions for the new system (CPU? GPU?). I have no idea how to fix this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Focx,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Inserting the drive from an earlier model MBP will probably not work. The version of the system you have on that HD is designed for earlier hardware so when you put in in your new machine it's going to be recognized. What I'd recommend is re-installing the disk that came with the new machine and of course putting the 2008's disk back in the old machine. Then use Migration Assistant on the new machine and migrate your data from the old machine into the new machine.
This will provide a much more stable system and should work just fine.
Regards,
Roger

Satellite L745D-S4214 Does not boot; HDD recovery partition not working

I tried to apply the recent windows 7 updates and my laptop no longer boots. I tried to press F12 and select the HDD Recovery partition, but it does not boot regardless. There is a message that it does not communicate to a specific device. I believe the address called out was 0xc0000e9, but I am going by memory. I never created a recovery CD because I thought I was covered by the HDD partitions. This was purchased on 10/26/2012, so it should still be under warranty.
PLEASE HELP!

Hi I'm going to assume that your recovery works like mine and that the recovery partition is still good and not corrupted.
Shut down your PC. Press F12 and select HDD recovery. Click enter. This should start the recovery from the hidden recovery partition.
PS I would advise you to make the recovery discs or USB recovery Try this first.
Perform a power cycle
Even when your laptop is off and unplugged, residual power can still be held in some components. While this is normal, clearing it can help with boot problems. Perform these steps to complete what’s called a power cycle.
Ensure the laptop is turned off.
Unplug the laptop's AC power cable.
Remove the battery (if the model has a removable battery).
Unplug all wires or peripherals. This includes CDs, DVDs, USB sticks, mice, printers, and any other accessories.
Hold down the power button for thirty seconds.
Reattach the battery.
Connect the AC adaptor to the power socket that was confirmed to be working in the first step.
Connect the other end of the AC adaptor to your computer.
Try starting the computer.
If your laptop starts normally now, you're done!
