Boot time "eth0: Hardware Error" message

I reinstalled Arch on my ThinkPad last month after some playing around with FreeBSD. It was running fine for a while, but around the time of the big glibc update it started giving me some error messages about eth0 at startup. I ignored it for a week or so because I normally connect over wireless, but now I've had some time to puzzle over it and I can't figure it out.

When I try to connect with it (using wicd), envision 24 more lines of alternating "irq 46 for MSI/MSI-X" and "eth0: Hardware Error". But I can connect, and I'm using it right now to post this as well as install the latest update. It doesn't seem to cause errors during normal usage.
I Googled a bit and searched the forums but didn't come up with anything that sounded like this issue. "Hardware Error" isn't a very descriptive message.
Edit - forgot to mention, both LEDs on the physical Ethernet port come on and stay on as long as I'm using wireless, but when I connect it to a cable they behave normally.

I still get the irq stuff in my logs, but I've also noticed that it's really difficult to get an IP address from a DHCP server lately. I'm using wicd, by the way. Everything is fine with wireless, it's just connecting via ethernet is finicky.
It seems that after it puts the interface up, it launches dhcpcd but with the odd ethernet hardware it takes 20 or seconds before the ethernet link is established. Since dhcpd has a default timeout of 30 seconds, this eats up dhcpd's time and then it times out early.
Here's an example from /var/log/everything.log:
Aug 23 17:19:27 localhost dhcpcd[11183]: version 5.6.0 starting
Aug 23 17:19:27 localhost dhcpcd[11183]: eth0: waiting for carrier

Aug 23 17:19:56 localhost dhcpcd[11183]: eth0: sending IPv6 Router Solicitation
Aug 23 17:19:57 localhost dhcpcd[11183]: timed out
As soon as the ethernet link is established ("carrier acquired"), it gets the IP address from the server. Then it checks if the address is in use on the network and appears to reach the 30-second timeout during that process.
I resolved the problem by editing /etc/dhcpcd.conf to increase the timeout by adding this line:
timeout 60
And here is my log after increasing the timeout:
Aug 23 17:24:16 localhost dhcpcd[11787]: version 5.6.0 starting

It takes 22 seconds to acquire the ethernet carrier after dhcpcd starts up. Then it needs 8 more seconds before it finishes and forks to background. Having a 30-second timeout is too close, but the 60-second timeout works great.

  • Boot Device Not Found Error Message

    I've had my laptop since May 2011.  HP Pavilion dv6
    Quad-Core AMD Phenom II 2.2 GHz
    DDR3 SDRAM 8 GB
    500 GB Serial ATA 7200 rpm hard drive.Originally Windows 7 64-bit upgraded to Windows 10 64-bit One morning I turned on my laptop and I received the following error.  The laptop lives on my desk, hasn't undergone any major changes, and I haven't moved or dropped it. I've run every diagnostic test from the F2 menu. The hard drive and memory both passed, the system tune up passed, and I've restored the BIOS to the default settings with no changes. If I hold the power button and restart the laptop usually on the 2nd or 3rd attempt the system will start normally with no issues and continue on as if nothing is wrong. This is a helpful work around but it doesn't solve the problem which is a bit of an annoyance and leaves me worried that eventually it might refuse to start at all. Thinking that a system restore might help I ran a recovery and brought it to an "out of the box" state. After that failed I decided to go ahead and upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10. I performed a clean install keeping none of my programs or personal files. Despite a successful Windows 10 install I still receive the same error every time I restart.  The short version:When I turn on my laptop I encounter a Boot Device Not Found Error Message.My hard drive passes diagnostic tests.My laptop will start eventually if I continue to power cycle it.

    @pkharel ,
    Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support forums.  So that I can better help you here with this hard drive issue .  Can you explain what diagnostic you ran on the hard drive.
    Did you run the diagnostics from the BIOS?
    HP Notebook PCs - System Diagnostics (F2)
    HP PC Hardware Diagnostics
    If you have attempted the diagnostics from the BIOS and are not finding the Hard drive.  See if you can find the hard drive in another computer.  If you can not find it using another computer replace the drive.  If you can and it is not located on your notebook then you have a possible issue with the motherboard.
    First thing I would do is try and restore your BIOS first.
    Restoring the BIOS
    After attempting this and you still can not find the Hard drive and you can see it in another system please contact HP phone support for repair options.
    Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

  • My iMac 8.1 was slowing down and had permissions problems. I backed everything up, and then re-installed. Now all I get is a black screen. Power+D gives me a hardware error message: HDD-1336. Help!

    My iMac 8.1 (10.6.8 ) was slowing down and had recurrent permissions problems, mostly with Java. I backed everything up, and then re-installed from time machine. Now all I get is a black screen which says I need to reboot. Power+D gives me a hardware error message: 4 MOT/1/40000003: HDD-1336 or HDD-1327. When I reboot from the OSX CD and start disc utilities everything checks out OK. When I reload 10.5.2 from the OSX CD everything seems to work OK and no more permissions problems. But then I loose all my email and safari stuff. Anyone have any ideas short of going back to my old PC?

    No unfortunatley it's too old, you are referring to Target Display Mode which became avialble in 2009, your 2008 needs to have the HD replaced. I'd still do that if everything else is OK or you can simply buy a new MM and display or even a new iMac  or an Apple refurbished iMac to save money.

  • Hardware error messages

    Hi,
    does it exist an hardware error messages list, which messages can occur in the /var/adm/messages files for different platforms.
    Similar to the Solaris Common Messages and Troubleshooting Guide for Solaris messages.
    Thanks in advance

    does an hardware error messages list [exist], which messages can occur in the /var/adm/messages files for
    different platforms? Similar to the Solaris Common Messages and Troubleshooting Guide for Solaris messages.Since this is a Solaris question, you'd have much better luck asking it in a Solaris forum (try one at http://opensolaris.org/os/discussions/).

  • Hardware error message

    This is my 1st post, I am recently a convert and came over from the dark side (PC user) so I know very little about troubleshooting issues. I purchased a iMac 3.06 and installed parallel (with Vista) but don't use it much.
    Recently my iMac has been locking up and I've had to power off to unlock and then the computer failed several times to boot up. After a lengthy 'white' screen I get a folder icon with a question mark instead of the Apple symbol.
    I ran the hardware check 2x's and came up with the same error message.
    '4HDD/11/400004 SATA 0,0'
    I suspect it is a hard drive issue but can anybody help.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    If you are having to do what some folks call a hard power down or power off, by pressing and holding the power button until the Mac turns off, this is bad for your HD. Doing this can damage the directory for the data on your HD. Doing this enough times can so mess up your HD that it is unrecoverable for the average consumer.
    The folder with a question mark icon means that your Mac has lost track of its startup disk. Restart the Mac while pressing and holding the Option key. This will bring up the startup manager. If your startup disk is still available it should be among the offerings. If not, insert your Restore disc 1, which came with the new Mac, and choose it when it appears. Choose your language and wait for the Installer to appear. In the Utilities menu select Disk Utility. If your startup volume appears in the left pane, highlight it and select First Aid. Select the Repair Disk button. If DU can repair the startup volume it will. If it cannot you may need a more industrial repair utility, such as Disk Warrior.
    After DU repairs the startup disk, Quit DU. Again in the Utilities menu select Startup Disk. Select your startup volume and press the Restart button.
    After your Mac restarts go to Apps/Utilities/Disk Utility, choose your startup volume and First Aid. This time Repair Disk Permissions.

  • Cannot boot from hard drive error message

    I bought Mountain Lion from the app store. I downloaded it and launched it. It began to install but when it asked what disk I wanted to install it on and I clicked my hard drive it failed with the message that I could not boot from this hard drive. So, I figured that the installer needed to be on an independent disk. So, I burned it to a DVD and ran the install program again. I got the same message. So, I plugged in an external drive, went to system preferences and set it as the startup drive. Rebooted onto the external drive. Ran the installer from the DVD and it failed at the same point. I tried selecting the external drive but it said that it was the time machine drive (which I guess was equivalent to "NO"). Anyone know how to fix this? Thank you.

    Well, LOL,  I did that prior to buying the software. It does meet the specifications. I found the solution on the support site. When I googled before I hadn't googled the error message verbatim. Doing so led me to this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3926 where I was instructed to create a tiny partition (128MB) and then run the installer again. No explanation was given as to why, but this did work and I am typing this via the new OS. Thanks for trying to help me baltwo! Best regards.

  • External Hard drive/Time Machine backup error message

    On a sidenote, I posted a question a week ago about what external hard drive would be compatible with my Macbook, and I so happened to get a WD My Passport Studio hard drive as an unsuspecting gift, so I didn't have to buy one.
    Anyways, I started the backup on this hard drive and I had an error message: "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume." I searched this on the Apple Support Communities and found that I wasn't the only one who had this problem. So, I came upon one discussion that suggested downloading Time Machine Buddy (link:http://pondini.org/TM/A1.html) (link that prompted me to download: http://pondini.org/TM/C3.html). I downloaded it and found out that the error was occurring in my Library folder, specifically in the folder entitled "db" in the "Receipts" folder. There's one file in the "db" folder entitled "a.receiptdb" <----can someone please explain what the heck this is??? Lol. Anyways, I decided to exclude the whole "Receipts" folder from being backed up and now my external hard drive is backing up my files fine. My MAIN question is this: What is wrong with my receipts folder that is causing the error?
    P.S. here are the error messages in the Time Machine Buddy log:
    Error: (-36) SrcErr:YES Copying /Library/Receipts/db/a.receiptdb to (null)

    As you can see, iy is located in the "db" folder. I have no idea what's wrong. Thank you for your time! It is MUCH appreciated.

    The connection to 10.6.7 may just be a coincidence.  I had a similar problem with a disk and was about to throw it out but decided to try a different USB cable.  That fixed the problem and the drive is still in use.
    Try a new cable if you have not already done so.

  • Time Machine - ambiguous error message, cannot backup

    I've been without use of Time Machine for sometime (months) now.  I've been getting the following error:
    My backup drive (Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex - 320GB) was a attached to my Airport Extreme, but in desperation I moved it to being directly attached to my MBP.  I've also excluded large number of files from the back up (reduced the full backup size to half the size of the backup disk).  Also, I've erased and reformatted the back up disk - twice.  No errors on it either.
    What would be really helpful, was if there was some indication as to WHAT the problem actually is.  This is a rather ambiguous error message, which does little to help a person to troubleshooot.  It seems like the backup is being hung up on a file or files...but I'm just guessing.
    Has anybody out there run into this?  If so, what was your solution?

  • Time machine causes error message " Disk not properly ejected" with USB backup drive

    I am using iMac OS X Lion and Time Machine causes the error message with a WD 1.5 TB drive in aThermaltake dock, USB.  every time I wake up the computer....  Ejection of Time Machine and shut it down and turn opp power to drive causes the error message problem to disappear.   What is the solutin?

    If it were mine I would replace the drive with another brand. WD drives EHD's tend to have more issues than any other EHD. If you want to continue using it you can try resetting the SMC (may take 2-3 tries) and/or restarting in Safe Mode to reset some caches, it's possible one or more has become corrupt.
    SMC RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    PRAM RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • HT3275 Time Machine backup error message: The backup disk image "/Volumes/Backup Files/Burke iMac.sparsebundle" is already in use.

    I'm getting the following error message from my Time Machine for two days now:
    "The backup disk image “/Volumes/Backup Files/Burke iMac.sparsebundle” is already in use."
    I haven't changed anyting lately and can't find the problem...

    Try just rebooting the TC.. or restart of the whole network, in correct order.. modem.. router/TC.. clients.
    Read C12 here.

    Look at the more like this on the right. it is a very common problem.. especially since ML we have this question 5 times every day.

  • Time Machine backup error message

    I am making a second backup with a new HD. It made the first Time Machine backup, but ever since, I get the error message "unable to complete backup".
    The Time Machine buddy gives me this message:
    Starting standard backup
    Backing up to: /Volumes/DIANE EXT HD 02/Backups.backupdb
    Error: (22) setxattr for key:com.apple.backupd.ModelID path:/Volumes/DIANE EXT HD 02/Backups.backupdb/Diane Tolomeo’s iMac size:7

    Backup failed with error: 2
    Can this be fixed? If so, how?

  • Tim Machine: no error messages but not backing up

    My Time Machine does not seem to back up any more as it should.
    There are no error messages, Time Machine is switched on, spinning once an hour, there is enough space on the external HD. I can enter Time Machine and browse through the history.
    However,
    • When I go back to 14 JUN, it shows me files modified today (17 JUN). Shouldn't this be impossible?
    • When I go to the corresponding folder on the HD, I can see a version of the file in question that was modified on 11 JUN, the day of the very first initial backup. I definitely know that it was modified on13 JUN, though.
    Does anyone know what the problem is? Any fix?
    Btw, I am switching back and forth between two different external HDs for Time Machine, which worked fine for a long time before things went funny a few weeks ago. Then I completely deleted the whole external HD and started Time Machine over but it seems this did not work (except for a successful initial backup).
    I'm on Mac OS 10.6.8 on an iMac 7,1.

    I'm having this too, Nokia 6681 and most recent iSync... Contacts are working fine, Calandars are not.
    Note that before latest revision Calandars were no problem...

  • Boot Camp setup.exe error message

    So I installed Windows 7 Home Premium using Boot Camp on my Macbook Air and everything worked. However, my mac didn't come with an OS X disk, it just came with the OS X. Anyway, so I found setup.exe in the USB with all the drivers in it. So I ran it but recieved this error message:
    The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an 86x (32-bit) of 64x (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher.
    How can I fix this?

    This also happens whenever I try to install drivers seperately.
