Arch USB boot freezing?
I have put Arch on my USB and when it starts to boot, but I get the following error during the boot.
[73.100021] --[ end Kernel panic - not sycning: Fatal exception in interrupt

how did you write the iso to the flashdrive? dd? have you tried another USB flash drive, redownloading the Arch iso? Or maybe even try a older iso?

Cannot boot Arch (USB or HDD) in UEFI Mode
I have a new MSi GT70-0ND, 1x 128GB SSD (no RAID) and 1x 750GB HDD. The SSD was preloaded with an MSi OEM copy of Windows 8. I did not receive an OEM disc, so I've tried to avoid touching the SSD and the hidden recovery partition on the HDD.
Using Universal USB Installer, installed archiso onto USB flashdrive.
Windows boot device selection menu did not detect the flashdrive.
Checked UEFI BIOS settings - USB set to "Full Initial".
Moved flashdrive from port to port, eventually was detected.
Reboot, received an error relating to bootloader signing.
Rebooted again into UEFI BIOS settings, disabled secure boot.
Rebooted, received infamous "No loader found. Configuration files in \loader\entries\*.conf are needed."
Googled, checked forums, saw gummiboot issues, recommendations to use rEFInd, and dd/UEFI issue.
Transferred archiso to working Arch machine, followed instructions here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/UE … B_from_ISO.
Installed rEFInd using instructions here https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/31894#comment102233. I have since tried various changes to refind.conf and can not discern any difference.
Attempted to boot laptop from flashdrive in UEFI mode after Windows' boot device menu again failed to detect flashdrive multiple times.
Got rEFInd menu, found nothing functional (except Windows bootloader, of course): Arch entry froze the system requiring hard reboot, UEFI Shell v2 gave an assertion error (from memory, it was "String.c(166) String != ((void *)0)"); Googled, seeing some related but no identical errors, UEFI Shell v1 failed to start reporting something like "using load options '<null string>'".
Rebooted in BIOS/Legacy mode, but flashdrive was unbootable (duh)
Again using Universal USB Installer, installed archiso onto flashdrive.
Rebooted in BIOS/Legacy mode, archiso menu appeared, but during udev events, received a drm/nouveau init table error; Hard reboot. Appended
nouveau.modeset=0
to kernel line, everything worked
Installed vanilla Arch system to the HDD including UEFISYS partition.
When it came time to set up and install rEFInd/efibootmgr, of course
modprobe efivars
failed.
Redid flashdrive the UEFI-safe way on Arch machine, attempted to boot in UEFI mode, it appears that menu entries from my /boot/efi (UEFISYS) partition are present, but this is irrelevant as only the Windows bootloader and \refindx64.efi work (loads rEFInd graphical mode, in which nothing works except BOOTX64.efi which quickly flashes a message with a file path (too quickly to read) then loads Windows. UEFI Shell v2 now has same error as v1:
Using load options '<null string'> Error: Not Found while loading shellx64_v2.efi
rEFInd (version 0.5.0) "About" dialog reports EFI Revision 2.31, Firmware: American Megatrends 4.653, Screen Output: Graphics Output (UEFI)
I have tried adding various things to the refind.conf "options" directive, e.g. gpt, loglevel=7, pci=nocrs, add_efi_memmap, archisobasedir=arch, archisolabel=ARCH_201212, acpi=off, etc. in different combinations.
I am at wits' end. Bottom line: nothing but rEFInd (via flashdrive) and Windows works in UEFI boot mode - nothing. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.I doubt if this will help you with your main goal, but I've fixed a few memory bugs in rEFInd recently, so the "String.c(166) String != ((void *)0)" error you mentioned might go away if you upgraded to the latest version of rEFInd (0.6.0).
Beyond that, here's a suggestion:
Prepare a USB flash drive or CD-R with rEFInd 0.6.0. Be sure to include an EFI driver for whatever filesystem you used in Arch's /boot (or root, if there's no separate /boot partition) in the flash drive's or CD's EFI/BOOT/drivers_x64 directory. (Note that rEFInd 0.6.0 includes an ext4fs driver.)
Using an emergency disc, create a refind_linux.conf file in Arch's /boot directory. Include, at a minimum, two lines, each of which should include the options "ro root=/dev/{whatever} initrd={\path\to\initrd}", changing the device filename to point to your root and the initrd= specification to point to your two Arch initrd files (one for each line). The path should be relative to the root of whatever filesystem holds those files, so if you've got a separate /boot partition, there would be no directories, just the filename preceded by a backslash; and if you have no separate /boot partition, you'd lead with "\boot\". Note the need for BACKslashes, not forward slashes, in the initrd= specification (but forward slashes in the root= specification).
Reboot using the rEFInd flash drive or CD-R you've prepared. With any luck, rEFInd should come up and show you an Arch option. Try using it. If it fails, try again, but hit Insert and select the second option from the list.
With any luck this will get your system booted in EFI mode, but I can't make any promises about that. -

[SOLVED] Arch Linux Boot from USB fails while loading kernel
I am attempting to get arch linux booting off my usb. I use cfdisk to create a /dev/sdb1 partition then use mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1, mount the usb, pacstrap it, use install-syslinux_update -iam, generate fstab and then attempt to boot from it.
The boot extracts the kernel but then complains that DEVICE is missing in the option APPEND root=DEVICE (in syslinux.cfg). I looked in /dev/disk (on the temporary filesystem shell), it showed my ssd and cd drive but not the usb. Does anyone know what could be causing the USB to not load in that particular section of the kernel?

Since you'll probably want to boot from different computers (portable USB system), you want to remove 'autodetect' from that line. This is the same as always booting the initramfs-linux-fallback.img image. To save some space, you could remove 'autodetect' from the configuration file, disable the fallback image in /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux.preset and delete initramfs-linux.img (otherwise, you'll get two identical images).
Of course, run mkinitcpio -P when you're done. -
External USB boot: "fs error - unable to read inode" occurs eventually
[ISSUE: on ONE PC only: ALL external USB drives eventually give console readout like: "fs error - unable to read inode" - endlessly , and no longer accessible.]
I am BOOTING off of the drives in question [ext2 formatted] which may be a large part of it though perhaps not.
PC spec:
- Older motherboard ASUS p4pe.
- has USB 2 though probably a bit iffy.
- Does NOT boot from USB so using the briilliant PloP bootmanager on CD to achieve external USB boot.
Of interest was comments found about the : the ehci_hcd module
which seems very likely that the motherboard I'm having problems with is because of the USB implimentation and this.
REALLY could use a fix for this one. At least, I need to understand what's happening.
OR:
I found this on the Ubuntu forum and was hoping it would be the FIX and that I could get a comment about how to try on my beloved ARCH systems.

The POSTER there replied saying the following:
problem: USB disk change to read only
Hi,
I solved this 7-8 months ago and haven't had any problems since.
Create a executable file for example /usb/bin/usbhdfix and place the following in it.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
echo 1024 > /sys/block/$1/device/max_sectors
echo 1 > /sys/block/$1/device/scsi_disk:*/allow_restart
1024 works for me but I've also heard about people going lower than default with good results.
I have a Seagate FreeAgent which also have the problem with restarting after spinning down so solution for that is added as well.
Then create a udev-rule.
Code:
# /etc/udev/rules.d/50-fix_usb_hd.rules
SUBSYSTEMS=="scsi", ATTRS{vendor}=="Seagate", ATTRS{model}=="FreeAgentDesktop", RUN+="/usr/bin/usbhdfix %k"

USB boot with flash or HDD in ARCH64
The information provided by mobo mfrs never includes bios boot info.
Please help me to find at least one 64bit mobo that does bios boot using USB 2.0 devices.
I figure I might as well get 64bit aloing with the USB bios boot and large ram all at the same time.Tried to boot USB flash drive on three high profile machines at FRY's, one an HP , a FRY's model and a Gateway. None would boot from my flash drive.
I suspect that admin has strapped the USB boot to prevent virus entry into the boot on their demo machines.
I have no way of determining whether a mobo boots from USB flash . None of the salespersons even know what bios boot options are present in their demo computers to say nothing about their multitude of mobos.
Motherboards.org has no info on bios boot options.
I desire to purchase a mobo which will boot from Larch flash drive into arch in ram. The mobo has to have 2GB of ram (or more).
I will pursue any good candidate whether 32 bit or 64bit mobo. -
I have been running arch off my 40GB external hard drive for about two years now which has worked fine.
The upgrade to mkinitcpio broke it.
"Failed to parse block device name for "/dev/sda1"" - and everything goes downhill after that.
- menu.lst has been properly updated and boots the new image(s)
- i tried auto, fallback and doing my own
First of all sorry about the huge post & multiple questions but i wont get online again till later or tomorrow so i have to get it all in.
If necessary ill post menu.lst, mkinitxpio.conf etc, but i see no point untill someone actually tells me that usb boot should actually work.
Q1) Does mkinitcpio support external drives??
pause=y should allow me to pause the boot process and drop to a shell right? I got this to work once - i wasnt sure which key you press to pause it so i pressed p,y,delete, enter and ESC keys pretty much all at the same time and it worked, unfortunately i cant get it to work again.
Q2) whick key do i press to drop to a shell?
When i dropped to a shell the first time i did echo /dev/* to display contents of /dev.
Theres lots of stuff but no sdx anything.
Q3) Does this mean anything?? Should sdx be there?
Q4) What about the fact that ide now runs PATA and should appear as an sdx device as well? or did i misunderstand?
In grub i point root to sda1. i have a second boot option that points to sdb1 in case theres a pen drive plugged in or something. this always worked so far. I could run arch off any pc that supported usb boot.
Before i always had a udev rule which created a file in /dev which pointed to external device. This was necessary to allow the install to boot properly even if a different naming scheme was used.
Q5) How does udev in the mkinicpio image relate to the installed udev? Will extra rules in rules.d folder be included?
Thanks!! Any help/ideas appreciated!You could try to make a new initcpio image and replace pata with ide in HOOKS. (Sorry for the short answer)

i hope someone can helpI have the same problem - extremely annoying, particularly if I have several other applications / documents open with unsaved changes!
I thought I had found a fix by force-quitting the Finder (another App must be open) and then plugging in the headset, then clicking the Finder icon on the dock to re-launch it - that worked a few times, but not all the time.
This would be a *really good topic* for someone to resolve.

Hi, I'm trying to fix my computer (it freezes on every operating system all of a sudden), and I need to use the USB boot to load Linux Live and Windows installation (both froze as well). The problem is that it'll take the USB just once in a while, and that is causing me a big loss of time to make the tests and a headache. First thing I did was memtest and I found corrupt memory, thus I replaced the DIMM. But the freezing is still there.
Do you have any hint? I know it's a double question but at least if the USB boot was working all the time it'd be a lot faster to load stuff and try to fix the problem.
Thanks for your hints!Quote from: Henry on 04-October-11, 07:26:40
First thing tell us what the rest of the PC consists of.
I didn't think the rest of my hardware would matter with the USB boot problem, anyway:
1.D BIOS
Athlon 64 3000+
512 mb ddr PC3200
Geforce4 MX 440 AGP
300W power supply
Maxtor 250 GB IDE
Thanks for your attention. -
Is there a way to access purchased apps from the app store on windows computer? For USB boot drive
Having a problem with my Macbook (13", Late 2009 I believe) after attemption to update iOS to OS Mavericks. Have run into the grey screen of death, and have almost exhausted all options, including reseting pram, accessing fsck, and even using disk utility to reinstall the iOS. I believe that during the initial update (which is the root of the problem), there was some corruption within the directories which I believe can be contributing to my problem.
I was hoping to find a way to access my purchased apps from the app store on a windows computer so that I can make a USB boot drive in order to rule out the hardware problem that I am currently speculating.
Please advise, thanks in advance!Yes if you have the iPod and iTunes set up to sync via wifi. However, you have to do it from your one syncing computer and the iPod and computer have to be on the same network.

Windows 8 does not have a USB boot option
QuestionHow can I boot my Windows 8 laptop from a USB device? I created a recovery disk on a USB thumb drive.
So far I have:
Entered into the UEFI (BIOS) and set USB to boot first.
Disabled secure boot.
I tried to reboot using the general setup options for startup in the windows settings page. I choose boot from USB through the UEFI, but got an error message that system does not have a USB boot option.
To confirm I also created a bootable DVD with an ISO burner, but my laptop cannot detect a DVD boot option either.
I assumed that the firmware of the UEFI for this computer allowed a bootable USB but in practice I cannot seem to get this work.
AnswerTo assist with not being able to boot from a USB device on a Windows 8 laptop, perform the following:
Plug in USB bootable device.
Hold down F12 when restarting and access UEFI menu (option is below drive list). If system is set to fast boot, CLICK HERE for instructions on entering the UEFI.
Go to UEFI and make USB "1st boot".
Disable secure boot.
Go to the "Advance" Tab, select "System".
Change boot order from UEFI to CSM.
Save changes and exit (F10).
Computer will restart and boot from USB drive.
When finished go back into the UEFI and set defaults then save changes and exit (F10). Windows 8 will reboot normally next reboot.Done that, only choices are "Set up Firefox to Sync" & "Pair a Device". No ''UNLINK THIS DEVICE". Your turn.

Creating a USB boot image for LabviewRT
I have installed Labview 8.2 and the "update 8.2.1" for Labview RT Standard version from the web.
I am trying to create a bootable image for a target Laptop PC, using a USB jump drive.
When I run NI-MAX and select TOOLS->RT Disk Utilities->Create Desktop PC Utility USB Drive, a popup dialog appears that says:
"This utility will reformat a USB drive with a Labview Real-Time boot USB utility for use with a USB boot-capable Desktop PC. Make sure the USB drive is connected to your computer before you continue.
Do you want to use this utility?"
Clicking on Yes, shows a dialog selection window, with a single entry ="Version 8.2", and an OK and Cancel button.
Selecting the OK button, shows an error popup titled: Measurement & Automation Explorer" with text="Unable to detect USB drives"
The jump drive is 32MB and is visible in WINDOWS Explorer.
WHY will NI-MAX not see or use this jump-drive ?
( I have tried two different jump drives from two different manufacturers)Hello,
Does your jump drive conform to the USB Mass Storage Device Class? What drive letter are you using? Did you create it by running the command line utility "subst"?
Have you tried doing this on a different computer? Are the USB ports 1.1 or 2.0?

Creating a Mavericks USB boot drive after the horse has bolted. Can I create a bootable USB drive from my iMac after installing Mavericks without saving the Install OS X Mavericks.app file? Do I need to re- download the whole 5.29 Gb from the App Store again? My problem is my 4Gb/month allowance on a 12 month contract. I cannot purchase a data block from my ISP and although my speed is theoretically slowed to 64k after reaching my 4Gb, it actually ceases to download in reality.
HI tasclix, it depends what you mean by an OS X boot drive.
If you want a recovery disk from which you can reinstall (by re-downloading) or recover from a time machine backup, then nbar is correct.
If, however, you want to boot and run the OS X installer from the USB drive (so that you don't need to download again), then you will need a copy of "Install OS X Mavericks.app"; see this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5856
Before downloading again, search your system to see if the installer is still there - it's usually in the /Applications folder unless it has been deleted, but check your whole system for it anyway, you never know, you might still have it somewhere.

Can I simply replace a hard drive with a new SSD and just install Yosemite from a USB boot drive onto the SSD? I recently bought a used MBP and it has absolutely no files on it except for the OS, and so I'm assuming I don't need to clone the current hard drive as I can just reinstall the OS onto the new SSD.

Thanks.
Just a quick follow up question, is formatting the SSD with HFS+ done in Disk Utility?...
It's possible that the SSD will be set up for use on a PC, which means it will have a Master Boot Record partition table rather than a GUID Partition Table, which is what Yosemite needs. In Disk Utility, select the SSD and click the Partition button. Create a new Partition Layout and click the Options... button at the bottom. You'll likely see MBR is selected. Choose GUID instead and Mac OS Extended (Journaled) for the Format. -
4530s DC CARD or USB BOOT not working even if it has this option in bios
i just posted a message but i think it's in the wrong section..
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-Notebook-PC-questions/sd-card-boot-and-usb-boot-not-working/m-p/9...
Hi, i just got a HP ProBook 4530s , I5 processor, Intel HD 3000 , i have a problem with it, i can't boot on any usb or sd card, i tried all linux versions i could find and also some live windows and bartPE, on my sd card i get the "Disk read error" as soon as i choose the booting device and on usb it goes a little bit further i can see the linux logo some processes starting and then same error related to write on disk, the sd card and usb are not in read only mode and on my other laptop a older one 6730s everything works...
Also all the usb and sd card work perfect in windows, when i boot from internal HDD.
Is there a fix for it?? Or can anybody that has this laptop test if it works booting from usb or sd card, maybe it's a problem with this unit..
i have tried all available bios verions and various usb devices but as i said the usb sticks all worked on my other laptop but not on this one.
Oh and also is there a bios option to stop virus check on boot? as far as i could test that is the only option in bios that is not there and i can't test with it ON/OFF.. any help would be apreciated because i can return the laptop for 30 days and i allready have it for one week. and i really need this option to work.
PS - sorry for my bad english but i'm from EuropeQuote from: Svet on 13-May-12, 00:13:31
do >>Clear CMOS Guide<< with power cord removed
Yes, I've tried this. I pulled the power cable, waited two minutes, hit the CMOS button, and also removed the battery, and waited another minute.
After which, I loaded optimized defaults, but the problem remains.
Thanks,
