Boot hangs at "INIT: Entering runlevel 3"

I updated recently to the new initscripts and had some problems with it, The pacman update changed /etc/inittab to an empty file, and /etc/inittab.pacnew was empty as well. I modified /etc/inittab.pacsave to change the vc's to ttys.
This worked a little better, though now it apparently hangs when trying to enter runlevel 3 or 5.

Can you post your new /etc/inittab (assuming you copied the inittab.pacsave)?

  • ISE 3315 stuck in INIT Entering runlevel: 3

    Hello
    my ISE 3315 is stuck in
    ISE 3315 stuck in INIT Entering runlevel: 3
    when i connect a screen and keyboard i can only see this last message :
    ISE 3315 stuck in INIT Entering runlevel: 3
    There is nothing after, i cannot login (no prompt) even after waiting 20 minutes with this message
    I have no char return via serial cable depsite i was able to run initial setup from console (same cable, the DB9-DB9 provided, same serial config, same laptop)
    really strange
    Version ADE :  ADE-OS-2.0 (2.6.18-238.1.1.el5PAE)
    Version ISE : 1.1.0.665
    Any idea ?
    Thanks

    Hello,
    for me i can say it is too slow if you don't have a DNS and a NTP server accessible from the ISE.
    It is requested to have both servers during initial setup, and with that, it is running faster (let's say 30 minutes to do all initial setup ...)
    Hope it helps !

  • System won't boot. INIT: No inittab file found Enter runlevel:

    After the latest update that changed how intel ucode is updated, my system won't boot.
    I think I missed a line when I edited "/etc/grub.d/10_linux" and ran grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
    Any ideas on how to fix this?
    I can't run grub-mkconfig from another machine, as it uses the live kernel info.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise I'll have to reinstall

    It seems to me that you've an old Arch version. inittab is deprecated AFAIK.
    What is the Arch iso version?
    That would probably be mid-2012 at the very latest I think as that's when I remember completely moving over to systemd...
    @SyXbiT: Are you using the current Arch install ISO?

  • Solaris 10 Boot Hangs on T1

    Solaris 10 is hanging during boot from the OpenBoot firmware on my T1. Below is the output from doing an interactive boot from OpenBoot using the "boot -a" command. I use the default values for all options and the boot hangs after the root device is specified.
    I'm rather new to Solaris so this problem has me stuck. Any ideas?
    Thanks!

  • Lion boot hangs at point logon prompt should appear

    Lion boot hangs at point logon prompt should appear.  Unresponsive to mouse or keyboard. Mac mini 2007.  Touching power button briefly puts machine to sleep. Hitting key or wiggling mouse then wakes machine and logon proceeds normally. Has happened every time Lion has booted. Never had problems with SL. Fix needed!

    Same issue here, not always but after entering logon password it will hang with the spinning icon. I have to power off then reboot.
    Only since Lion upgrade!

  • 4 min IOKit boot hang on Unibody Mac 10.5.7 - failure of Hard Drive?

    I am experiencing a boot hang of 4 minutes (4 minutes of 0 activity) on the blue screen part of the boot process in OS 10.5.7. This hang happens on every boot.
    Inspecting the disk (with Disk Verify in Disk Util) revealed errors (incorrect volume file count) I am in Italy on a work placement and my install disks are in the UK (I know, I'm an idiot...) so, on advice from the support site, I booted into single user mode to fix the issue with fsck -yf. This repaired that issue, however I am still experiencing the same boot time hang.
    Here are the relevant sections of the system log:

    Notice the hang between 19:08 and 19:12 of exactly 4 minutes, this is reproduced each boot. From what I understand the IOkit is timing out at 4 minutes while trying to do something with the SATA boot disk - is this correct.
    Please advise as a way to resolve the problem - is it a hard drive in need or replacement or a driver issue which occured when I updated to 10.5.7 (could be cause - around the same time). The smart status of the drive is good but I am worried that I might be having hard drive issues and looking at a failure.
    The problem and logs are also reproduceable when no external devices are plugged in.
    Any help you can provide would be great I am panicking a little here! I have a backup but no Install disks!!

  • Long hang after password entered

    This issue is happening with 10.7.3, not sure if it was present in previous versions as this is the first version of Lion I am using.
    My machine is configured to use Active Directory, but I am not sure if this is related or not.
    When waking from sleep, or sometimes when I am installing software, the machine hangs after I enter my password. Once I enter my password and hit Return, the login box turns gray and hangs like that for several minutes. It eventually goes through, but not before about 4 or 5 minutes. There are no logs in Console that seem to be related. If this happens during a software install, I am unable to use other windows in the backround. I can move my mouse, but I can not bring other windows into the forground until the hang has passed.

    This issue seems to get worse when I use the laptop offline, not connected to the Active Directory network. Still, it is intermittent

  • T500 - Intermittent Boot Hang and not able to Reboot

    Hey folks.  I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T500 (2242-35U) here that is having a bit of trouble.
    First off, its very intermittent to get it to boot.  When I press the power button to start it, it goes through its regular post, and then right before it should start booting off of the hard drive or dvd drive, it hangs with just the blinking cursor.  Trying different boot media like a hard drive, bootable cd/dvd disk or even a bootable usb stick all result in the same.
    However, once every 5-6 times, I get lucky and it starts to boot.  Once I was finally able to boot off of a bootable diagnostic cd, I ran hardware checks, and it appears that everything checks out.
    Another issue with it is that it doesn't do a reboot properly.  No matter if i'm into the operating system doing a Restart option, or at the boot hang mentioned above, pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete, the screen goes blank and it stays there until I forcefully power off and power back on.  Even during my install of the operating system, when the setup reboots several times, i've had to forcefully power it off, and then try numerous times to get it to boot back up again.
    I just installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 x86 enterprise, and updated the bios to its latest version, doesn't appear to change anything.
    The unit is currently out of warranty.  Is there anything else I can try with this?  I am an authorized service provider for Lenovo, I just don't know where to go to from here, and any suggestions would be welcome.
    Thank you.

    Alright, got a chance to test it more over the weekend...
    - I went into the BIOS, and disabled everything I could find.  Even went as far as pulling the hard drive back out again and the optical drive, and tried booting from a USB stick.  Exact same issue, took a bunch of tries for it to finally boot.
    - Enabled just the essential stuff I would need on the laptop, same issue
    - I don't see any mention of Turbo Memory in the BIOS or product page for this model, so I will assume that it does not have it.
    I guess the problem is something with the motherboard.  But, at over a couple hundred dollars, I don't think its really worth the money to replace it at this point seeing that the notebook is still completely usable, once it boots .
    Thank you all for your help and suggestions either way.

  • Fresh install boot hangs

    I used to use Antergos linux. I started getting this problem http://forum.antergos.com/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=1924 , so I switched to Archbang. I was still getting this problem http://bbs.archbang.org/viewtopic.php?id=5061 . Now I have switched to Arch Linux.
    I thought it is problem with Broadcomm firmware or driver. But I think it is something different and related to intel video driver.  I have installed Arch linux with Openbox. I am still getting this problem.

Because when it hangs during boot, I can not do anything except switch it off and switch on again. It hangs randomly. Not always. I also have Centos 6.4 and Windows 7 on same laptop which never hangs on CentOs or Windows 7. But only hangs on Arch linux randomly during boot. And  http://pastebin.com/ does not work or may be down.

  • V100 boot hangs on NIS

    Hi, I've got a V100 server at my company that has Solaris 8 installed on it (I now, very old). One of our staff tried to install LDAP user authentication on our domain and set this server to be a client. This all went very badly and I'm trying to recover the system, the problem is that this server now hangs at boot very early on at the domain resolution. when I reset the machine the boot hangs at the below output
    checking ufs filesystems
    /dev/rdsk/c0t2d0s6: is stable.

    NIS domainname is ingena.localHow can I fix this? would like to change the nsswitch.conf file so it stops looking for LDAP and NIS servers but I can't get onto the disk to edit this. Any ideas???

    Having just had a grand old time (not!) with deploying Directory Server (my 64 page installation and troubleshooting manual will be forthcoming very soon), I believe (but I won't say that I'm certain) that your problem is one of a few things, all of which can build on each other:
    * The client cannot connect to the directory server and is sitting there waiting for a response
    * You are attempting to resolve root through LDAP, as in the system is looking to LDAP first instead of local /etc files (bad idea!)
    * Your pam.conf settings are incorrect and thus cannot resolve the "root" user, thereby making it impossible to continue to run the startup scripts
    * Your nsswitch.conf file is configured to communicate through LDAP first instead of the appropriate order causing the inability to resolve host names properly. (See below.)
    As to the NIS domainname issue, that only means that it found an entry in /etc/defaultdomain. That doesn't necessarily mean that you're still running NIS. In fact, chances are that you're not utilizing NIS any more. When you initialize an LDAP server, the ldapclient command makes a very arrogant and stupid assumtion that every bloody thing in /etc/nsswitch.conf will somehow be resolved through LDAP - netmasks, bootparams, ethers, hosts, etc.
    So, follow these guidelines:
    * Keep root local. Do not rely on LDAP. If you store root in LDAP, (A) the client can't boot if the LDAP server is down because root cannot be resolved and (B) anyone who breaks into the LDAP server could get the keys to all of your castles.
    * As soon as you initialize a client, change the /etc/nsswitch.conf file back to what it should be. Too many functions (like NTP) break unless you import ALL of your relevant /etc files into LDAP, which is a very, very, VERY stupid assumption for Sun to make.
    Regardless, boot into single-user mode and look at the nsswitch.conf file. If that doesn't give anything really viable, run each startup script individually to see which one is causing the problem.

  • UEFI boot hangs with MSI GTX 960 installed

    Wasn't sure whether to post this in the graphics forum or the motherboard forum, since both components are MSI.
    I have a system with an MSI Z68A-GD65 (G3) motherboard with the old v23.7 BIOS, and a Core i7-2600k Sandy Bridge processor.
    I just bought an MSI GTX 960 Gaming 2G. However, after installing the new card, the boot hangs every time with a flashing cursor. If I put my old card back in (GTX 460), everything is fine.
    I've read that a BIOS update is recommended for the GTX 960 cards. However, the newer BIOS versions for this motherboard always say not to install them unless you have an Ivy Bridge processor, which I do not.
    I see the newest version of the BIOS is v25.8. There was another time I tried upgrading the BIOS in the past (to v25.6) and I had issues with it not saving my custom overclock settings for the i7-2600k, so I reverted to v23.7. So I'm reluctant to upgrade it now for that reason.
    Anyone know if the v25.8 BIOS update will fix the problem with the GTX 960? Or is there something else I can try to get it to boot with the old v23.7 BIOS?

    Updating it to v25.8 BIOS did work. The GTX 960 works fine now.
    But, I am now having the same issue I was having when I previously tried updating the BIOS: my overclock settings are never saved. Actually, that's not exactly true. I can set them in BIOS exactly how I want them, and they are always saved there. But once I boot Windows, the settings are reverted.
    I reinstalled the Intel Management Engine drivers as well, but no luck.
    However, the BIOS update did allow the GTX 960 to work properly, so I will start a different thread in the motherboard forum about this overclocking problem.

  • Problem during boot-up process - Anormal starting runlevel 3

    Hi
    So, this afternoon, I've installed Arch on my desktop.
    I have configured Xorg, gnome, all my programs...
    Then I have rebooted my computer and it happened something unusual.
    So, after the line "Loading keymap "fr"
    It appears "entering runlevel 3"
    And slim (my login manager does not start [It's installed and present in the daemon line]) and I have to log me in TTY, and when I try to "startx" it's does not work.
    Habitually, slim and gnome started normaly.
    Need help please !

    Hmm
    I don't know why, and how it happened but the daemon line of my rc.conf was commented.
    That's why the network didn't started...
    Decommented the daemon line, It works now
    [Solved]

  • Z77A-G45, A2 Boot hang!

    Main Board: MSI Z77A-G45
    Bios Version: (Latest)
    Video Card: ASUS GTX660 OC
    PSU: Thermaltake TR2 (600W)
    12v rail Rating of listed PSU: Bronze(?)
    CPU: Intel 15 3570K
    Memory: 16GB Kingston HyperX
    SSD/ HDD: 2TB Seagate (Mac and Windows) 3TB Western Digital (exFAT, Data)

    Sound Card: Onboard
    Any Additional hardware plugged into your system: N/A
    OC: Yes
    Operating System: Windows 7 Pro, Mac OSX 10.9.1
    When ever I boot I get the A2 boot hang, I turn the system off, unplug the 3TB WD drive, and it boots like a charm. I have hotplugging enabled on the second SATA port, so after I boot, I plug the drive back in. It works, but having to unplug something every time I turn on my PC is far from preferable. Thanks in advance!
    I've tried: Changing SATA ports, updating the BIOS, clearing CMOS.

    Oki, thanks i will be back to you when i have news about it
