Bootloader errors during install on Macbook 7,1

I had Arch up and running on my Macbook 7,1 with / and /home partitions, and decided that I wanted to make /home larger. For some reason, it didn't occur to me to just resize my /home and OS X partitions, so I backed up and wiped Arch off my disk entirely, with the intention to reinstall fresh and copy my stuff back over. When I go through the standard /arch/setup installation process, however, everything works fine until I get to the bootloader section. I get an error with both grub and grub2. Here's a more in-depth walkthrough of the process I'm using:
--note: I'm using rEFIt, and plan to dual boot OS X 10.6 and Arch, and maybe another distro to play with--
1. Resize OS X partition in Disk Utility (mac app) and add three partitions for Arch as FAT32 (8gb for root, 24gb for home, 1gb for swap)
2. reboot and sync partition table with rEFIt
3. Boot from Archboot 2010.10-1 iso live cd
4. go through normal /arch/setup
5. at 'prepare hard drive' section, I skip to 'set filesystem mountpoints' and mount / and /home on the respective partitions with ext4 filesystems
6. at 'install bootloader' section, I choose grub, and choose to install it on /dev/sda3 (which I've set to /)
this results in an error message which directs me to /dev/tty7, which, in turn tells me that grub doesn't recognize the filesystems of any of my partitions and therefore cannot mount /dev/sda3.
Variations:
I've been through this process at least 8 times now, and have tried all of the following (from various solutions I've found searching google and the forums and just making stuff up):
using grub2 instead of grub (results in a different error, which suggests that I chroot /tmp/install and install it manually, which I tried, but it was a bit over my head)
using a separate /boot partition (tried this with ext2 and ext3)
installing grub to /dev/sda instead of /dev/sda3
using parted during the /arch/setup install process to make the partitions and filesystems (it doesn't like being used for anything other than partitions, though)
using gparted on an ubuntu live cd to make the partitions as ext4 before trying the arch installation
no swap partition (this is how I had it set up originally, but I thought I'd include one in case other distros I wanted to test out were less understanding)
I even tried just copying the system files from my backup to /tmp/install during the installation, but that (of course) resulted in different IDs for the partitions, among other things.
I've really enjoyed using Arch, and I can't wait to have it back up and running again. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Alright, I've tried using the most recent archboot (2011.02-2) a couple times. I selected GRUB2 x86_64 EFI. It asked me whether or not I wanted to convert my existing MBR to GPT. When I say no, it says installation was successful, when I say yes, it drops me into parted, so I just quit. My GPT should be fine as is.
My issue is that now, in rEFIt, I only get OS X and Legacy OS options. Legacy just freezes my computer. The legacy option has been there since I last tried to install, though I've tried to get rid of it a few different ways.
Should I choose a different bootloader option? Can I use the cd to boot in and fix it manually? if possible, I'd like to keep using rEFIt.

  • Error During INSTALL of Application Export File

    An error is reported during INSTALL of an application that I am trying to copy (Import/Install) from a "development" Work Space into a "production" Work Space. The production (target) Work Space is on the same HTML DB instance as the development Work Space.
    I am receiving the following INSTALL error:

  • Solution for Power Saver error during install

    Hello,
    i have read several topics about the powersaver error during install of this utilty.
    i had the same problem even with a clean install of windows XP and i have found the solution.
    The error seems to disapear and Powersaver works fine after install of the Hotkey utility :

    Hi
    You are absolutely right. Common modules is a kind of basic application who must be installed first. All other Toshiba tools should be installed after. The functionality of Power saver utility depends also on installed common modules.
    Unfortunately I can not give you any kind of advice but in case that there is some error message the best solution is to remove and install the Power saver again. Check also Toshiba download page. Maybe you can find a newer version.

  • Quicktime errors during install, uninstall, or run

    Quicktime errors during install, uninstall, or run. No error code. It just says it encountered an error and must exit.

    I located a previous response that satisfied my issue. Below is the process that allowed me to use quicktime.
    The "fatal error" in this context has (recently) been indicating trouble with old, misplaced QuickTime componentry lurking about in your system.
    (Whether or not the message is a symptom of that problem seems to depend on what version of old misplaced stuff is lurking and what version of QuickTime proper we're trying to install or uninstall ... but in recent times, there's been an uptick in fatal errors being caused by that.)
    So let's try investigating that possibility first.
    First we'll adjust some view settings on the PC.
    1. Open My Computer from the desktop or Start menu.
    2. In the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
    3. Click the View tab.
    4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected, and the "Hide extensions for known file types" option is unchecked.
    5. Click OK.
    Now in "My Computer" open Local Disk C: (or whichever drive your operating system is installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    Open the "System32" folder.
    What files or folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the file or folder name? (In a standard installation of QuickTime, you should see precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

  • Errors During Instalation Of Final Cut Studio 5.1

    Aloha,
    I am having some trouble here!! I am trying to install FCP Studio Pro 5.1 on my mac. I tried to do an upgrade from FCP 4.5 HD on my orriginal Hard drive. The instalation went through its paces & asked me to put in the second disc. I did then it came back with an anoucment that there were errors during instalation & to try again I did & was never able to get it to instal... Getting frustrated I ran diskworior on the drive & tried again no luck... after some time I thought it might be the drive would not let me because there was an earlier version on there.... so any way after some other problems with this drive I decided to completely erase & instal Mac OSX on my second hard drive that has never had anything on it. I made this my new startup disk & upgraded the OS to OS 10.4.9 I then Tried to install FCP Studio Pro 5.1 on this drive.. this time It never got to ask me to put in another disk it came back with the same error during instalation try again!!!!!! So now I am getting ******!! but odly enough Final cut studio shows up in my aplications. When I click on it it gives me a warning that there was an error registering & once I click ok it seems to launch FCP 5.1....... ?? So is it really there or not??? & why is it not installing the other 4 discs??? and to add insult to this I have tried to install iLife 06 & I get the same error!!!! WHY!!!!!!!!!
    Another thing.. I installed FCP Studio Pro 5.1 on another Identical computer down the street & it installed no problem!!!!
    Can anyone help Please!!!!!!

    I would take a different approach.
    I would backup the old drive files to an external, and then do a clean wipe and new install of OS, updates and the FCS.
    Best way to do it, in my view.

    This most often caused by a damaged or otherwise faulty disk in the package. It happens. Try cleaning the disks and then get out your receipt and serial number because your only recourse will be to call Apple for a replacement.

  • Integrity constraint error during install

    We have installed htmldb on zlinux from the companion CD.
    Because we had an error during install of the flows schema we repeat it (have removed the Flows-User and Flow-Files before) using ins.sql! The apache was still running.
    Most of the new installation was fine but near the end we got:
    error creating "Procedure arguments" id=122 Ora-01400, cannot insert NULL into ("FLOWS_010500,"WWv_Flows_STEPS","SECURITY_GROUP_ID")

    ...

    OK, it's solved:
    I finally managed to install Apex 3.0 correctly once I figured out my error.
    I was logging in remotely to the server the dadbase was on, then trying to connect to sqlplus using 'sys/password@instance as sysdba' to run the script.
    Turns out that the problem had something to do with sys not being allowed to be sysdba when I log in remotely, or that having the username/password and instance info in there made the program think I was logging in remotely and therefore not giving me sysdba privileges.
    The root of the problem was running the install .sql without the correct privileges.
    Since I found out the database server I was trying to install on uses OS authentication, I remote-connected to the database server as the oracle user, tried to run the install .sql again after connecting to sqlplus: 'conn / as sysdba'
    and everything worked like a charm!

  • Linking errors during install on Linux Mandrake

    When I installed oracle (8.1.7) on linux mandrake I got a series of errors during
    the very last portion of the install involving a bunch of *.mk files.
    The first error says:
    Error invoking target relink of makefile
    $ORACLE_HOME/precomp/lib/ins_precomp.mk
    All the others are virtually identical. I'm still pretty new to linux so I avoided
    recompiling the kernel. Aside from that I followed the install instructions to the
    letter. If anyone knows whats going on I would very much appreciate a push in
    the right direction.

    Alright, I've tried using the most recent archboot (2011.02-2) a couple times. I selected GRUB2 x86_64 EFI. It asked me whether or not I wanted to convert my existing MBR to GPT. When I say no, it says installation was successful, when I say yes, it drops me into parted, so I just quit. My GPT should be fine as is.
    My issue is that now, in rEFIt, I only get OS X and Legacy OS options. Legacy just freezes my computer. The legacy option has been there since I last tried to install, though I've tried to get rid of it a few different ways.
    Should I choose a different bootloader option? Can I use the cd to boot in and fix it manually? if possible, I'd like to keep using rEFIt.

  • Premiere Elements 11 "installing Shared Technologies" error during install

    How do I fix the "The installation process has encountered an error whil installing Shared Technologies.  Please restart your system and try again." error while installing Premiere Elements 11?  Photoshop Elements 11 installed fine, but I keep receiving this error while trying to install Premier Elements 11.
    I have already tried:
    Install from CD
    Install from C: drive root
    Install from Adobe website trial version
    Install from CD, after clean boot
    In each case it installs at the same place with the same error.
    From searching these forums and doing a web search it seems like a common problem with no clear solution.

    FFWLKin
    I do not know if what I am about to report will help or confuse the Premiere Elements users further on this Shared Technology error encountered during Premiere Elements installation, but here is hoping that something in the following experience might be of help to someone....
    I entered your thread with the Shared Technology error (targeting Elements Organizer/Data 7) when trying to install Photoshop Elements 10 and Premiere Elements 10 on a new Windows 8 64 bit computer. Unlike the others I had no problems installing Premiere Elements 11 and Photoshop Elements 11 from the Adobe installation disc a week earlier on this brand new Windows 8 64 bit computer. Short of re-formatting the hard drive, I did everything plus with no luck in getting versions 10 installed on this Windows 8 64 bit computer. So, I decided to focus on working with the already installed version 11 programs.
    I headed for Premiere Elements 11 to create a DVD-VIDEO format on DVD disc and to my horror found that the program's burn dialog had no burner(s) in the burner location (either the build in one or an external burner (USB). But, Premiere Elements 11 burn to folder did work. On the other hand, I found that Photoshop Elements 11 Organizer File Menu feature to burn (datadisc) to CD or DVD did recognize these burners and that burn to feature worked. I went through the typical drill for those in this type of situation and nothing remedied the problem. So, I decided to go for the deactivate/uninstall/reinstall route. Well,  now Premiere Elements 11 reinstallation ran into the same fate as Premiere Elements 10, that is, it ran into the Shared Technologies error related to installation of the Elements Organizer and Premiere Elements 11 would not install after going through everything decribed in this thread, excluding re-formatting the hard drive.
    1. Deactivated/uninstalled Photoshop Elements 11 and Premiere Elements 11.
    2. Apply the cclearer: cleaner and registry cleaner. And, then went into the Registry and deleted all related to Photoshop Elements 10/Premiere Elements 10 as well as Photoshop Elements 11/Premiere Elements 11.
    3. Disabled firewall, antivirus, spyware...
    4. Tried to reinstall Premiere Elements 11, using the installation files (setup.exe in 64 bit folder) copied to hard drive. No go. Same Shared Technology error.
    5. Started deleting programs that I had installed after the initial successful installs of Photoshop Elements 11 and Premiere Elements 11 (these programs included iTunes, VLC player, and ImgBurn). Still no go for the Premiee Elements 11 install, and same Shared Technologies error.
    FINALLY, Photoshop Elements 11 and Premiere Elements 11 got successfully installed on this Windows 8 64 bit computer according to the following scenario (iTunes, VLC player, and ImgBurn still removed from system...firewall, antivirus, spyware protection re-enabled)
    1. Attached a USB burner to computer via one of its USB 3.0 ports.
    2. Inserted the Adobe installation disc into the burner tray of this burner in order to install the program(s) via the installation disc.
    3. Selected install for Photoshop Elements 11. It went to completion without problem.
    4. Selected install for Premiere Elements 11. It went to completion without problem. And, now the burn dialog/burner location did recognize the computer's built in burner and my USB external burner.
    None of the above may have had anything to do with what finally triggerd the version 11 installation processes to go to completion. But, I add this to the mix of how Photoshop Elements 11/Premiere Elements 11 finally got installed in Windows 8 for the user.
    And, I would offer this suggestion to those who have already installed Premiere Elements 11 on their Windows 8 64 bit. As soon as possible make sure you have burners listed in the burner location of the program's burn dialog.

  • Error during install of the iTunes 11.0.1 update on Windows Vista

    Error during the process of installing the iTunes update to 11.0.1, when iTunes attempts to write to file C:\Config.msi\b530a0c.rbf. iTunes says it can't access that directory, but i'm installing iTunes as an Administrator.  And i don't find the specified file in this directory on my c:\ drive

    I seem to have solved this problem as follows:
    1.  Download the iTunes.exe file from apple.com, but save the file to my Desktop rather than running it.
    2.  Execute (double click) the iTunes.exe file from my Desktop.
    3.  When i encountered the problem that i've reported (the iTunes installer announces that it can't access a file in the c:\config.msi directory, i clicked the Retry button in the error window.  The iTunes installer process appeared to move past the error.
    4.  I experienced the same error one more time during my apparently successful iTunes 11.0.1 install, but the 2nd time this error came up iTunes reported that it was trying to access a different file name in the c:\config.msi directory.  Again, i clicked the Retry button in the error window and the iTunes installer appeared to move on past the error.

  • "WRITE SAME failed. Manually zeroing." error during install or boot

    Hello everyone!
    Since the lasts kernels (I'm almost sure it happens since 3.9 because 3.8 worked fine) I can't boot on Archlinux anymore. This error floods my screen and I can't do anything, and because the new Archlinux iso (june 2013) comes with 3.9 kernel it now also happens during installation. Fortunately, I saved the may iso so I still can install archlinux and switch during install to LTS kernel but this is not a good solution. I can't find a solution online, some people have this issue but it seems to be a bit different everytime.
    I use Archlinux on a server, with hardware raid : Dell PERC H200a with LSI SAS2008 according to my BIOS. According to http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_3.7, the WRITE SAME SCSI command "allows the same block to be efficiently replicated throughout a block range. Only a single logical block is transferred from the host and the storage device writes the same data to all blocks described by the I/O (commit)". Here is the exact configuration :
    - DELL® PowerEdge R210 II
    - 1x Intel® Xeon® E3 1220 V2
    - HDD: 2 x 1 To SATA2 RAID
    - RAID: Hardware, Dell PERC H200, (Raid 1)
    So my first problem is that I can't find online if my server is capable of this command (but I don't think so) and then the other issue is that I want to know if I can disable it. I found kernel patches for this issue :
    https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1898441/ and https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1982051/ (the first link seems to be a better solution).
    Then, I checked in the kernel source of 3.9 and I think that this patch isn't implemented (there is no device_write_same_capable function for instance). But kernel patching is not a really good solution, if I have to patch my kernel everytime the main kernel is updated...
    After some research, I found that my hardware RAID driver seems (I'm not sure) to be the kernel module "mpt2sas", so I checked both may and june isos of Archlinux and it's the same version (14.1) so it shouldn't be the problem.
    Does somebody can help me on this issue ? I don't really know what to do now.
    Thanks for reading, if I forgot something or if you want more informations, ask me!
    Bye.
    PS : My English isn't very good, sorry.
    EDIT : I found a part of the solution ! It seems to be an issue with the kernel that doesn't detect properly if my disc is capable of doing WRITE SAME command.
    So I have to write "0" in the file "max_write_same_blocks" under /sys. But the problem is that /sys is renewed every boot so I don't know how to make my changes permanent. I made a systemd service file, it almost works, but this solution isn't nice : the parameter is applied lately so errors shows at the beginning and this is not really easy to set up. I prefer a solution like "sysctl" but it seems that it only controls parameter under /proc/sys and not /sys, am I right ?
    Moreover, I tried two other things : Ubuntu 12.04 with kernel 3.9.4 works and Archlinux iso with 3.8.10 has max_write_same_blocks > 0 and it also works... So I don't really understand this issue. Maybe in 3.8 the parameter max_write_same_blocks has no effect (or not the same as in 3.9) ?
    Here is the systemd file that I made to reduce the issue :
    [Unit]
    Description=No WRITE SAME
    After=local-fs.target
    [Service]
    Type=oneshot
    ExecStart=/bin/sh -c 'echo 0 > /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0/host0/target0:1:0/0:1:0:0/scsi_disk/0:1:0:0/max_write_same_blocks'
    RemainAfterExit=no
    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target
    This is not a good solution, see my next post. I don't delete it in case you want to compare.

    I found a solution to disable the WRITE SAME command. That doesn't answer all my questions but it solves my issue. I was looking for a file like "sysctl.conf" but for /sys parameters : you already can do that in Arch, just create a file that ends with ".conf" in tmpfiles.d and add one line per parameter you want to modify. This file will be loaded early at boot.
    To disable it in an existing Archlinux installation, add in you file the line :
    w /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0/host0/target0:1:0/0:1:0:0/scsi_disk/0:1:0:0/max_write_same_blocks - - - - 0
    Read the manpage of tmpfiles.d if you don't understand this line, it depends on your configuration and you can't copy it.
    Then reboot and no more error !
    If you want to disable it during the Arch install, just change directly the value you want in /sys. You have to do it at the beginning before mounting partitions, for instance just after choosing your keymap.
    Bye.

  • Error During install Exchange 2013 through Powershell on Server 2012 "Mailbox role: Client Access service"

    Dear all
    During install Exchange 2013 through Powershell on Server 2012 I got this error in Mailbox role: Client Access service :
    The following error was generated when "$error.Clear();
    $BEVdirIdentity = $RoleNetBIOSName + "\OWA (Exchange Back End)";
    new-OwaVirtualDirectory -Role Mailbox -WebSiteName "Exchange Back End" -DomainController $RoleDomainController

    " was run: "An error occurred while creating the IIS virtual directory 'IIS://MONAMBX2.mona.local/W3SVC/2/ROOT/o

    The following error was generated when "$error.Clear();
    $BEVdirIdentity = $RoleNetBIOSName + "\OWA (Exchange Back End)";
    new-OwaVirtualDirectory -Role Mailbox -WebSiteName "Exchange Back End" -DomainController $RoleDomainController

    " was run: "The operation couldn't be performed because object 'MONAMBX2\OWA (Exchange Back End)' couldn't be fo

    Any advice please !!

    I can't answer your question but I had a similar issue when I was trying to move our mailbox database off the C: drive.  Our environment still has an Exchange 2007 server in it and when I was trying to move the database on the 2013 server, I would get
    error messages saying the database does not exist.  It seemed like it was trying to move the database on the 2007 server from the similar error messages that I was getting.  To get around it, I deleted the database and created a new one on the drive
    where we wanted it.
    I discovered this when I was configuring the Antispam settings.  I deleted our 2007 settings, added them to the 2013 shell, the settings appeared on our 2007 server.  The shell on 2013 was making changes to 2007.
    I'm not sure if there is a "Get|Set or New" command that I/we should be using when this happens.  Or maybe my issues will be fixed if I just remove the Exchange 2007 server?  I'm not ready to do that yet because I can't configure the spam filtering
    on 2013 yet with its shell not being able to make the changes that we need.
    I don't know if your environment is in coexistence mode like mine.
    Hopefully someone else out there has an answer or can tell us when/how the shell can make the appropriate changes to the 2013 server.  Does this happen after the 2007 server is removed?
