Ata1 srst failed (errno=-16) on intsall

Hello all,
I am having trouble install.
I am following the beginners guide and I get to the part where you do pacstrap /mnt base base-devel and it downloads all the files, verifies, and trys to install
around the 70'th or show package install I get that error
ata1 srst failed (errno=-16)
I can't seem to find anything relating to this anywhere.
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Thank you

[SOLVED] Boot fails with "ata4: SRST failed (errno = -16)"

I have desktop that has four disks. They have similar three partitions sitting on RAID.
/boot and swap are on RAID1
/ is on RAID5.
This worked well until a couple of weeks ago I noticed I couldn't connect to it via SSH. I went onsite and the desktop was humming but I couldn't get picture on the screen and alt + sysrq + REISUB did nothing. I shut it down by pressing power button and started it again. It gave me following errors:
ata4: SRST failed (errno = -16)
After a while there was
reset failed, give up
I restarted the machine and went to BIOS. There was only two of four disks visible. I shut the computer down, removed the power cord and then plugged it back in. This time BIOS showed all the disks there. I tried to boot up Arch and got the following.
Booting the kernel.

mounting '/dev/md3' on real root # md3 is the RAID 5 device containing root
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
You are now being dropped into an emergency shell.
sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
After that I tried to chroot from USB installation disk. First I check the RAID devices and see that in md1 (/boot) all seems to be ok. In md2 (swap) half of the partitions are missing. I'm not sure how to interpret the last one.
cat /proc/mdstat

md3: inactive sdb3[1](S) sda3[0](S) sdd3[4](S) sdc3[2](S)
608169984 block super 1.2
unused devices: <none>
I remove those devices and try to recreate them. md1 says it starts with four drives. md2 starts with 2 driver out of 4. And then the last one.
mdadm --assemble /dev/md3 /dev/sd[a-d]3
mdadm: /dev/md3 assembled from 2 drives - not enough to start the array.
Has anyone any idea where did the two partitions go? I ran SMART-tests to all four drives in long mode and all of them passed the tests.
I use GPT partitioning table, UEFI and Syslinux if it matters.

Core dump failed, errno=4

I'm looking into some dumps from Orcale and found one that mdb gets the following error:
core file may be corrupt
I found the following message on /var/adm/messages.

What is an error no 4 during a core dump?

Are you compiling with 1.4? I have noticed ALOT of posts about 1.4 and I have yet to have a problem. The only thing I am doing differently is compiling with 1.3.x still, but running with the 1.4 JVM.
I would try that.

Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.

Load of /sbin/launchd failed, errno 2 - CRT iMac

Hi,
I've been working on my parents' iMac, which was booting to Darwin. I followed the instructions in another thread and booted to single user mode, and then did the /sbin/fsck -fy. This produced a massive stream of errors to be corrected - it went for pages and pages. I didn't write it down, because I didn't expect to be locked out, but it was lots of different errors. It seemed to be correcting things, but then it got to something about a directory or header file, and it stalled on the message **Look in the lost-found something something for the missing files**. At this point it died...I gave it some time, and when it was obvious nothing was going on, I hesitantly forced a reboot.
Now in a single-user boot I can't even get to a command prompt. I wrote down some of the last few lines displayed:
BSD root diskOs5, major 14, minor 5
jnl: journal start/end pointers reset (some number strings in here)
Load of /sbin/launchd errno2, trying /sbin/mach_init
Load of /sbin/launchd failed, errno2
And that's where it stops every time. Is it bricked? I'm afraid I don't know what their model is, but I believe there were running the latest Mac OS compatible with a CRT iMac - I recall putting more RAM in the machine so they could upgrade the OS a year ago, maybe.
Many thanks...

Since it's a slot-loader iMac (600 MHz), you can use a feature called FireWire Target Disk Mode.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
You can then connect the iMac to your other Mac using a FireWIre cable (assuming it also has a FireWire port). Now, the iMac's hard drive will (hopefully) appear as an external FireWire drive on the other Mac's Desktop. If that works, immediately attempt to copy off all the valuable user data on the iMac's hard drive to the other Mac. Then, if the other Mac has sufficient free storage space, you may want to make a disk image of the iMac's hard drive using Disk Utility. After the image file is created and saved to the other Mac, make sure it can be mounted and accessed.
At this point, you should try using Disk Utility on the other Mac to repair the iMac's hard drive. If the other Mac has Leopard, it has a newer version of Disk Utility so it may be able to do the fix.
If that does not work, and you don't have third party utilities such as DiskWarrior or TechTool Pro to try, you should probably erase the iMac's internal drive using Disk Utility. After erasing completes, go to the Restore tab in Disk Utility. Make that disk image file the Source and the newly erased internal drive the Destination. Check the box for +Erase destination+, and click the Restore button.
If that process completes successfully, use +Repair Disk+ again to make sure there are no errors on the iMac's internal drive. Then, unmount the iMac's internal drive and disconnect the iMac from the other Mac, and attempt to start it up normally.
If it does start up and operate normally, great... If not, you may have to start up from the Mac OS X installation disk for 10.4.x and use the installation option for +Archive and Install+. This this give you a fresh system while retaining the user's account and data. Be sure to run Software Update a few times to install all the updates.
Worst case (if +Archive and Install+ does not make the Mac bootable), you will have to use the +Erase and Install+ option and then separately restore the user's data from that disk image.
Please post back if there are any questions about the above, or you don't get passed one of my many "if" statements.

Need Help - Installation failing at: Phase 25 Intsall instance basics

Hello everyone,
We are trying to install solution manager 4 on linux readhat E4 (oracle db). Currently, we are stuck at phase 25 "install instance basics. I can see at the bottom of the screen, the message says the phase is "Creating instance directories for instance <SID>/scs01. The error message (only thing I can see in the logs) - and on the error popup is shown before. Anyhow have an idea of what this could be? I thought perms, and even 777'd (temporarlily /usr/SAP and /sapmnt/<sid>), and no effect... it seems to point to a function module, but the strange thing is... no one even references this error anywhere on here, or anywhere else...
Anyhow, all help is greatly appriciated:

Resolution:
Kill the process that is running using 3910 Process ID (as the issue is with SCS instance). Once I killed the process retried the install and the issue got resolved.
Command to check the process that is running on 3910 port
netstat -a -o -n | findstr "LISTENING" | findstr ":3910"
Once you know the process ID from the above command killed it using the command below
taskkill /F /PID <pid>
I think I faced this issue as I stopped my install inbetween due to memory shortage issue. After resolving the memory issue and retrying the installed the installation porcess would have found the process that did not get deleted.
Thanks

Webcache reports 'Connect failed errno = 146' in Event Log

Hi, when checking the webcache event log I keep getting the above message.
The webcache server and the application server are physically separate boxes on the same network. There is a firewall between them.
The webcache server runs purely webcache, the application server runs HTTP Server and OC4J. The connection from webcache to the application server is usually available but sometimes there is a timeout - which I'm assuming is related to the above.
I understand that a 146 error is a socket connection error.
Does anyone have any ideas on why I'm seeing this message and where I should start looking to sort it out ?
Thanks,
Paul.

You said "There is a firewall between them.".
That is probably the key issue here. Can you tell us what exactly is the firewall device. Is it transparent like some layer 3 or below device? With the given info, it is too wild to speculate what caused the connection failure. The problem is usually not in the application process running on the end system.

When i am starting the SecureLink bridge i am getting this error. Actually SecureLink bridge is a 3rd party software which just acts as a bridge between the exterior and internal network. Means that any request comes from outside comes in https and then securelink takes it and converts it to http . Well i just want to know the reason of this error coz i think this error is related to Solaris 2.8 OS and not the application..
Can somebody put light on this ?

After that I tried to copy my old system and data from the old hard drive (The new WD drive was built into the laptop and the old drive connected via SATA2USB adaptor). After a few minutes the hdd started to hang and the following messages occured in "dmesg"

First I thought it looks like a problem with the SATA connector within my notebook, but it shouldn't be case as the hdd sits tight and the old one still works. Moreover I tried to change SATA settings in BIOS from "AHCI" to "Compatibility" in case of a driver fault, but this also didn't fix the issue.
For now I have connected the new hard drive with the SATA2USB adaptor and do some writing on it via dd. In this case, the errors do not occur at all.
The disk now gives me errors even if connected via USB. So I assume it is a hardware defect. The Western Digital Drive Check tools won't boot, but, I think these errors are more or less unambiguous

I will just send it back for warranty. In fact, it's another prove for today's harddisk "quality"

We call it case or drive hum. And it seems like a harmonic clash of two devices, or the 2nd hard drive causing the case itself (metal case).
There are shock absorbent washers on the side metal door.
Drive is attached and firmly installed and the latch on the back is securely in down and lock position.
And of course it still happens.
Me, I'd pull the old inefficient 250GB drive with 8MB cache, the Seagate 7200.9s that some shipped with were horrible performance and noise).
What I do with drive is run it through WD Lifeguard in Windows a couple times (Extended Test, full format instead of quick).
Some people sought out drive sled anti-vibration washers to fit to the sled (can't change the height though in order to fit properly).
Turn off "allow drives to spin down when not in use" if on.
