Boot process

Hi ,
On my laptop I have Solaris 8 and Win2000.
During booting it displays a sceen where i can choose the partion from where i want to boot ( Win or Solaris). Currently, it defaults to Solaris ( after a 10 sec timeout). Is there any way to change the default boot partition from Solaris to Win?
Moreover, my understanding is that this program is the 'bootblk' program. Is the source code of this program publicly available? if yes where can i find it?
Thanks
Tasos

  • Applying Software Installation Policy Is Taking Long Time During Boot Process

    1 of my servers is having slow boot up issue. I have enabled user environment debugging and the gpsvc.log file has been generated. I have also used the Windows Performance Analyzer to capture logs and results came back that the GP Client is taking a long
    time in the boot process. So, I reckoned the slow boot is due to GPO but I am not sure where to look from this log file.
    I have only paste part of the gpsvc.log file here due to limitation in the number of characters allowed to be posted. Would appreciate some good advise on this issue that I am facing.

  • There is always a blue screen appears after the Apple logo during the booting process. And then everything is back to normal. What is this thing? Is there something wrong with my screen or something?

    There is always a blue screen appears after the Apple logo during the booting process. And then everything is back to normal. What is this thing? Is there something wrong with my screen or something?

    Nah - that's just the normal boot process.

  • My MacBookPro (mid 2012) will not complete the boot process. Yosemite's progress widget gets about 1/3 to 1/2 way across when the logo disappears and the screen goes all white for 10-15 secs or so, then the machine shuts down and restarts.

    My MacBookPro (mid 2012) will not complete the boot process. Yosemite's progress widget gets about 1/3 to 1/2 way across when the logo disappears and the screen goes all white for 10-15 secs, then the machine shuts down and restarts. This sequence will repeat seemingly forever unless I shut it down manually.
    I upgraded to Yosemite from Mountain Lion a couple months ago, skipping Maverick completely, and I've done any associated updates that Apple told me about. I don't recall which version of Yosemite I have, but I'm sure it is the "latest and greatest".
    I've tried re-starting in Safe Mode / Safe Boot and that does the same thing as described above except without the endless restarts. Instead of restarting at some point, SafeBoot proceeds to the white screen and then it hangs until I restart it manually. (I've waited as long os 20-30 minutes with no response).
    When I tried the option-command-p-r key combo I never get any chimes or other noises besides the original 1 time boot sound that you would expect to get when starting up a macbook pro.
    I was using the mac quite normally (meaning I was doing work I normally do on it and there was no indication of anything wrong) immediately prior to this happening.
    The machine is BootCamp(ed) with Windows 8.1 which I use from a VMWare virtual machine instead of natively so that I can have both OSes running at the same time. I also think this is unrelated to my problem. I have been using this setup for more than 2 years.
    My upgrade to Yosemite was uneventful and I thought it went well and was very smooth. I don't want to lead attention away from Yosemite, but at this point my problem does not seem related to the upgrade.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Install or Reinstall OS X from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
          left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
          the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
          the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
               because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • CD drive not recognized & Very slow boot process.

    (I posted this in the newbie forum, but got no answer, so I give it another go)
    Hi all,
    After a few years alternating between gentoo and debian, feeling they were ok, but not exactly what I wanted, I found Arch, and now I am happy. It feels just right. I am still very new, but I am already quite sure I'll settle here.
    But happyness and warm feelings asides, I have a 2 problems I'd like to get some help about.
    problem 1: my CD drive is not recognized. my hard drive and its partitions show up correctly, but I don't get a cd drive.
    problem 2: On the boot process, a lot of time (2 minutes or so) is spend scanning the ATA bus. relevant messages are as follow (plus a few lines before and after just to give context)

    problem 2 and 3 are probably related, and linked to the new pata system in the kernel, but I don't really know anything about it, and my understanding of the mkinitcpio is very very limited. here is mine anyway, comments stripped.
    Code:
    MODULES="pata_ali"
    BINARIES=""
    FILES=""
    HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata usbinput keymap filesystems"
    I had it with
    Code:
    MODULES="pata_ali ata_generic"
    and with scsi in the HOOKS as the result of the install, but the behavior was exactly the same.
    Oh, and the machine I am using is a 4 year old laptop. Nothing in there is scsi or sata.
    I hope anyone can help me with those.
    Thanks

    Hi, I'm a "newbie" too. Coming from Gentoo/Debian. Installed Arch this week and I think it could be just the distro I have been looking for.
    I too had the same problem and think it's related to the pata modules. ¿Did you have to use the legacy-ide option when installing from the CD? I'm using old hardware (4 year old laptop) and had the same symptoms you are describing. I exchanged pata with ide in mkinitcpio.conf. My MODULES and HOOKS looks like this:
    MODULES="ide_disk ata_generic"
    HOOKS="base udev autodetect ide keymap filesystems" (deleted scsi and sata also because I don't think I need them).
    Then run mkinitcpio.
    I also had to change my device names in /etc/fstab from:
    /dev/sda2 / ext3 defaults 0 1
    /dev/sda5 swap swap defaults 0 0
    to:
    /dev/hda2 / ext3 defaults 0 1
    /dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0
    And finally /boot/grub/menu.lst from:
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda2 ro
    to
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/hda2 ro
    ¿Any experienced user can confirm that I'm doing the right thing? I didn't find documentation in the wiki for old systems. Only the mention of an ide-legacy option.
    Hope it helps.

    The curious thing is that everything works perfect in KDE, resp. tty7 ?!?

    what ever upgrade the software downloaded is the problem
    You didn't mention this in your first post. Any idea what it was? Backups?
    Besides that, this may be a fault in the video card, driver, or a screen fault.

  • Cisco Aironet 1262N stuck during boot process

    I am banging my head against the wall trying to figure out why my AIR-AP1262N-A-K9 will not boot all the way. It will get all the way to initiating the interfaces and stop. I can never get to controlling the cli. This is my first time with a cisco ap but from everything that I read it seamed very easy.
    This unit from what I understand will work all on its own with no controller. Hence it is called a "standalone" model. Yet it seems to be looking for something to finish during the boot. Below is the out put during boot. The last line is where it stops.
    If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it.

  • Palm t/X unable to complete booting process .

    Dear sirs, I am connecting my palm tx to the computer in order to charge it and /or when pressing the reset , palm logo (orange) shows with the black bar at the botton of the screen indicating the booting process, inmediately when the bar reach the opposite end it turns into the Palm powered screen , then the screen goes black and the process repeat itself, ALSO when the handheld is connected to the computer it is not recognized . (during that process I have pressed the synchro. and nothing happens) usually when this or other hardware is connected to this or other comp. I do hear a high pitch sound (bell) indicating recognition. I do not have another charging device in order to try. thanks in advance for your help .
    Post relates to: Palm TX

    Hello and thank you for using the Palm Help Forums!
    The device will need to be fully booted for the computer to recognize it. I would make sure that the device is NOT connected to the computer during resets.
    Once you ensure the device is disconnected from the sync cable try a 10 second soft reset. Just hold the reset button for approx 10 seconds then release it.
    If the device is still having trouble booting you may want to do a hard reset to try to recover the device. A hard reset will erase everything on the device and restore settings back to default. For further information and instructions on hard resets please visit kb.palm.com and look up article number 42094 in the solution id search field.
    I hope this helps and let me know if have any other questions.

  • [Solved] Disable screen clearing at the end of boot process?

    During the boot process Arch shows some messages on the computer screen while the system services are started. Then it clears the screen just before showing the login prompt, which means that you have to be a really quick reader to be able to catch the final boot messages before they disappear.
    I'd prefer that Arch wouldn't clear the screen at all, so that the final boot messages would stay visible even when the login prompt appears (and I could scroll the framebuffer to see all the boot messages if I wanted to). Any idea how I could tell Arch not to clear the screen before the login prompt?
    Last edited by darkglow (2009-08-12 19:28:48)

    Pressing Shift and PageUp at the same time should scroll the framebuffer up, and Shift+PageDown scrolls it down. But if you've switched to another virtual terminal and then come back, the scrolling doesn't work any more.
    I just tried scroll lock, it doesn't seem to make any difference?

  • How to stop the boot process after the GRUB menu?

    Hello there.
    I am getting an error message in the boot process, after the GRUB menu, but I can't read completely the message because it is shown too fast. So, how can I stop the process when I see the error message, for writing down it?
    Thanks in advance.

    I didn't try this before, but if you use systemd, you may want to try systemd.confirm_spawn to invoke interactive booting process, so you can start the services one by one manually therefore locate the one throwing out error message.
    It is explained in the systemd manual:
    http://www.freedesktop.org/software/sys … stemd.html

  • My iq522 doesn't start and staying on start up screen without proceeding to boot process.

    HP IQ522PL Model No. NF369AA
    Windows Vista 64-bit
    No error message.
    No changes made to the computer/software before the problem occured.
    The problem is as described in the subject - the PC stays on start up blue HP screen and doesn't proceed into booting process.
    No F-key commands is active, when I press for Menu or Setup option it just inform that its loading but nothing is happening.
    I don't hear any noise of the disk.
    What can I do to fix it and turn the PC to boot and start loading Windows system ?
    Thanks in advance for any valuable advise on that. 

    Hi,
    I've unpluged the HDD and turned on the PC. It then moved from HP blue screen into black screen with the following message:
    "Reboot and Select proper Boot device
    or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key"
    If I'm interpretating it right, it just confirming that doesn't see the hard drive and therefore the boot file is not found.
    If this conclusion is right then maybe the boot file is missing and I need to load it some how, then.
    Can you advise what your interpretation is and what should be my next move to diagnose the issue and finally fix it.
    Looking forward for good advise on that.
    Regards,
    Konrad.

  • Boot process log file - where is it?

    Hi all
    I know that this is a stupid question but can anyone tell me where is a log file for boot process if there is any. I have some error messages at the end, after last deamon starts and it goes too fast to the gdm so I cant read it.

    What you need is bootlogd:
    http://www.archlinux.org/packages/search/?q=bootlogd
    Start this in the boot script and it will log all the messages that you see during booting to a log file
    Bootlogd  runs  in  the  background and copies all strings sent to the /dev/console device to a logfile. If the  logfile  is  not  accessible,  the  messages  will  be buffered in‐memory until it is.
    From the man page for bootlogd
    http://pwet.fr/man/linux/administration … e/bootlogd

    You did not give a lot of information in order to know which Sun Cluster version you are using and if you are using Oracle RAC together with CVM.
    To me it looks you have enabled CVM (VxVM with the cluster feature enabled) in order to use a shared diskgroup.
    This is only allowd in combination with Oracle RAC. If this is what you are trying to use, have a look at http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2981/6n58037s2?a=view.
    So those messages are CVM specific, and I guess they show the selection process of which node is going to be the master node for the shared diskgroup - in your case node2.

  • [SOLVED] "Filesystem check failed" during boot process

    I was using XFCE on my netbook recently and clicked "shutdown".  It logged out to the command prompt and nothing happened.  Assuming that I'd clicked "logout" by mistake, I typed "pacman -Syu" to run an update...  And moments later it suddenly started the shutdown process.
    Now, whenever I boot up, I see the message below.  I tried booting from a GParted CD to check the filesystems for errors, but none were detected.
    Can anyone suggest what I might need to do to fix the problem?
    rootfs: clean, 11026/246512 files, 477083/984576 blocks
    home: clean, 4386/527280 files, 237183/2105344 blocks

    Thank you all for your replies :-)

    I don't exactly know how I should "repair manually"...  I thought a filesystem check in GParted would have been enough...
    lijpbasin wrote:You can boot the system using a archlinux live cd, and run fsck manually on every linux partition in the old system with options.
    DON'T mount any of the filesystems before running fsck, or your data will probably be lost. If you want to check the partition information first, run fdisk -l with root privileges.
    Thanks.  I tried booting from an ArchBang live CD last night and ran "e2fsck -pcv" on each partition.  The check completed, but the problem persists...  I just tried again using "fsck" as you suggested and got the following output (but the machine still fails to boot with the same error as before):

    As mentioned already, the reason it's failing is because the /dev/sdb2 partition is mounted before it can be fsck'd. What is this partition exactly (which filesystem, what's on it, mountpoint,...)?
    I'm not overly familiar with the Linux boot process, but why would it suddenly be mounting this partition before fsck-ing it?  Even if it was mounted when the netbook shutdown, surely the boot process starts with all partitions unmounted...?  Anyway, the partition details from /etc/fstab are below.
    <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
    tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0
    /dev/sda1 / ext2 defaults,noatime 0 1
    /dev/sdb1 /home ext2 defaults,noatime,user_xattr 0 1
    /dev/sdb2 /usr ext2 defaults,noatime 0 1
    I'm (now) aware that mounting /usr as a separate partition is a bad idea and (having read the "Error when booting with the new initscripts" thread), I have told pacman to ignore updates to the initscripts package (until I figure out how best to work round or fix that issue).
    Shark wrote:Write umount /dev/sdb2 in konsole or unmount partition in gparted by right click on problematic partition and click unmount. Than proced.
    If I type "umount /dev/sdb2" at the prompt, I get the following error:
    umount: /usr: device is busy.
    (In some cases useful info about processes that use
    the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1))
    I tried "umount -l /dev/sdb2" to unmount when the device becomes free... but it never does.
    I also booted into GParted, but there is no option to "unmount" /dev/sdb2.  There is a "mount" option in the menu, but it is greyed out.  If I open a terminal window from the GParted Live environment and type "sudo umount /dev/sdb2" I get the following message:
    umount: /dev/sdb2: not mounted
    DSpider wrote:Are you mounting the root drive with "ro" (read only) in fstab?
    No (as shown above).  I don't *think* I've messed anything up with fstab or any other config files -- everything was working perfectly till the netbook shutdown whilst pacman was running.

  • [Solved] Boot process hangs for installed Arch and installation usb

    Hi. I've been using Arch Linux for around 6 months now and I'm in love with it. It is now my primary OS. However, I might have done something or performed some update, and I can no longer boot into Arch. The boot process hangs right before it should show the login screen (I'm using Gnome 3.6 with GDM). I see the following messages on the screen:
    Loading Linux core repo kernel ...
    Loading initial ramdisk ...
    /dev/sda3: recovering journal
    /dev/sda3: clean, 330610/1749664 files, 5585671/6996827 blocks
    And then it hangs right there. I have to hard-reboot after this.
    I then tried to boot using the Arch Linux Installation USB (archlinux-2012.12.01-dual.img), which also hangs at a particular point, before it should show me the prompt. I took a picture of the screen where it hangs: Screen Capture. This is an issue with just my laptop, because the USB boots just fine on another laptop I tried.
    I also have Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.10 installed on my system, and I'm able to boot into both of them.
    I have 2 hard drives: /dev/sda is a 120GB SSD, and /dev/sdb is a 500GB hard disk. My partitions are as follows:
    sda1 - Windows 7 100MB System Reserved Partition (boot flag enabled)
    sda2 - Windows 7 OS
    sda3 - ArchLinux (boot flag enabled)
    sdb1 - Ubuntu 12.10 (boot flag enabled)
    sdb2 - Just data
    I ran bootinfoscript and below is the output:

    I tried adding nomodeset and acpi=off to the boot parameters, but the boot process still hangs. Please let me know if I should provide any other information.

    Ok.. So my Arch Linux randomly decided to work. I'm sure I didn't do anything between my last "not working" state and my current "working" state. Below are a few things I tried:
    I thought of trying an earlier build of ArchLinux, and downloaded archlinux-2012.11.01-dual.iso and made a bootable USB out of it. It still hung.
    I was getting error messages during Arch boot that the last access time for the disks was at a future date. I found out that Ubuntu was using localtime instead of UTC and screwing up my hardware clock. I fixed it, and thought maybe the time issues were causing the boot problem. But fixing time didn't solve my problem.
    I chrooted into Arch from my Ubuntu install, ran 'sudo pacman -Syyu' and updated my Arch install.
    I thought maybe GDM isn't starting up. I re-enabled the service using 'systemctl enable gdm.service'.
    I removed OpenNTPd and installed NTPd. Enabled the daemon using 'systemctl enable ntpd'
    None of the above solved the problem, and rebooting to Arch still hung the system. So I stopped fiddling with it yesterday. Today, as usual, I just tried logging into Arch.. And it just worked out of the blue. The solution to me is as mysterious as the problem.
    I told this to my friend who introduced me to Arch, and this is what he said:
    Damn it computers, you were supposed to be deterministic!
