Can't boot unless pata_acpi is blacklisted

(This is less of a support request than an attempt to document a weird behavior in case someone else is having the same problem. I would file a bug report if I knew what to file a bug report against. Sorry if this is the wrong place for such.)
I upgraded my kernel yesterday for the first time in a month (I leave linux, linux-headers, nvidia, nvidia-utils in IgnorePkg, avoid rebooting, and upgrade everything else regularly). Upon rebooting, I got a stack trace, then a hang while running the [uresume] hook, or (if uresume was disabled in initramfs) a message saying my root filesystem couldn't be found. I chrooted and ran mkinitcpio, and when that didn't help, downgraded linux, linux-headers, and systemd to the versions I had installed a month ago when I last rebooted -- respectively, 3.6.3-1, 3.6.3-1, and 195-2 -- and recreated the initramfs. This didn't help either.
The only thing that did help was adding module.blacklist=pata_acpi to my kernel command line, which is odd, because I've never had to do this before. This fix continued to work after upgrading systemd and the kernel to their current versions (196 and 3.6.8, respectively).
Some info: this occurred on a macbook pro 7,1. I don't think I did anything at all admin-y since last rebooting.

(I added ata_piix and sd_mod to MODULES based on the advice of some other thread, but that didn't do anything.) At first I thought it was a driver/kernel bug, but am confused because it's showing up in 3.6.3, which booted fine before.
The only vaguely related recent thing I found was this but I don't think jmicron has anything to do with my hardware.

Your battery must be brand new, with only 4 cycles on it. Have you calibrated the battery? If not, follow directions at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86284
After calibration, if not done already, and the behavior continues, I would contact Apple, as that is not normal. There's 3 components in the charging circuit: power adapter, battery, and logic board. Since the battery is new and this behavior, I'm assuming is also new, it's best to start there.

Hi
I updated today with the new release. Unfortunately when i retuned to my mac if was off!

I got the same error.
I have removed the app a long time ago so I was unable to find
com.visicom.ManyCam.VideoDevice.driver 3.0.11
So, what I did was boot my mac into safe mode, and delete this file (which might be the same, although it has a different name), you can find it in Library/Extensions.
Everything worked as intended afterwards.

I Can See My HD, I Can See My Volume, But I Can't Boot Up!

Check this out and tell me what I should do.
So I was burning a cd in iTunes when I got the wheel of death. I waited for about 10 minutes before I decided that I was going nowhere fast. I Couldn't force quit so I held the power button for 10 seconds and the computer shut off. I restart my computer and BLAM!!! Gray screen. No broken icon, no sad computer screen icon, just a gray screen with nothing on it. Not even the cursor.
So I get out the restore cd and reboot from the cd drive. I run disk utility and see that both my hard drive and my volume are there but the volume is not accessible. I can click on both the hard drive and the volume but when I click on the volume, it doesn't give me any info. The volume is also at about 20% opacity, meaning it's not accessible. So I select the volume and click on REPAIR DISK.
As REPAIR DISK runs, I get an error message saying "Invalid Node Structure." Then, it says "Rebuilding Catalog B-Tree," and after about 30 minutes of running Disk Utility, if finally stops and say "The Volume Macintosh HD could not be repaired." Then, underneath it it says "ERROR: The underlying task reported failure on exit."
I reset the PRAM or whatever it's called as suggested on many of the similar threads here. I also reset the Power thing and no go. I tried to see if I could do a reinstall but the HD doesn't show up in that screen which is weird because the HD and the boot volume show in Disk Utility. The MOUNT POINT field in DISK UTILITY is blank for my boot volume. How can I make the volume mount? It's there. I see it.
I am runnin a PowerBook G4 1.67 on 10.4.6. I have an external drive and again, all I want to do is backup everything once and if need be, reinstall. But I can't reinstall unless I erase the HD from within Disk Utility.
What happpened? Is my hard drive shot? Can I save any of the data on my volume? Is there a way to copy the OS back onto my hard drive without erasing my data? Are there written commands I can run to force a mount and at least retrieve my information? I could careless if I have to reinstall everything as long as I can save all my work before I have to take that step. I backed up 2 weeks ago but I have done A LOT of work in those two weeks. Can anyone point me in the direction of the information I seek?
Any and all help would be appreciated.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Sounds like you are in a catch-22 situation here. You can try one of three approaches.
One has more risk, but the greatest chance of getting recoverable data if the hard drive is not what is shot and just the directory. That's Alsoft Disk Warrior.
One assumes the hard drive is shot, and it is just the files that are inaccessible, and no directory damage. That's using Prosoft Data Rescue and an external hard drive.
A third is a data recovery firm.
Depending on how much you value your data, and how much you can afford, and which you think is most likely the problem, pick the one you think is best going to work.
It sounds to me you needed to do more frequent a backup than you had done in the past. Good luck!

Can't boot from Install Disk for Leopard

I purchased the new xeon core dual which only boots in Leopard. I need to put Leopard on an external drive, so I purchased Leopard and tried to install it on an external drive. My computer starts to read the disk but before it even gets to the blue screen, it stops, scrolls down in a dark gray screen and says I need to restart by holding the power button down. The screen kind of looks like a kernal panic with oriental writing under the english.
I have tried by restarting and holding down the "c" key with no luck. I tried again with holding down the "option" key and when the hard drive and disk show up as choices. I chose the disk and still no luck. I disconnected all my external drives and tried again with no luck. I called tech support and they said it may be my optical drive. They set up an appointment with the genius bar at my local apple store. The genius listened to my drive and said there was nothing wrong with the drive and that it probably was a bad disk so they gave me a new one. Went home and tried with the new disk and same problem. Can anyone help?!! Thanks.

I purchased the new xeon core dual which only boots in Leopard.
I need to put Leopard on an external drive, so I purchased Leopard and tried to install it on an external drive.
There's your problem. Macs which ship with Leopard can't boot Leopard retail, unless it is newer than the Mac in question. Check the version of Leopard on the Leopard retail DVD you purchased in the second quote. If it is older than what was installed on your Mac Pro based on the Mac Pro install and restore DVD, then it won't work on your Mac Pro. If you want Leopard of the Mac Pro to be backed up to be an emergency boot volume for the Mac Pro on the external drive, use a cloning software*:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
Or follow these directions to backup your Mac Pro DVD*:
http://www.macmaps.com/bootcd.html
If you need an emergency Leopard volume for another Mac, install it directly from that other Mac. If that other Mac lacks a DVD drive, get a Firewire DVD drive to do it.

Can't boot to windows, stuck at black screen (with cursor)

Hi! I'll get straight to my problem: I can't boot to Windows (Windows 10 Technical Preview) anymore after installing VirtualBox (or rather, an Android emulator that installed VirtualBox) on my system. I get stuck, after the loading animation with the blue HP logo, on a black screen (I can move my cursor around) but the login screen never shows up.
The problem.
I'm currently dual-booting linux and windows for several purposes. My laptop came with a Windows 8.1 OS by default. Some time after the Windows 10 Tech Preview came out to public, I upgraded my system to Windows 10 (so my 8.1 is gone now). Everything's going well until I installed this Android emulator (which installed VirtualBox) on Windows 10. Everything seemed fine at first but after rebooting, Windows isn't working anymore. I can still boot to linux, but Windows just won't boot properly.
What I've tried.
I've tried A LOT of things. The problem actually happened twice already (at first I was able to fix it with System Restore but not this time around). I have a Windows 8 USB Recovery Drive at hand, just so I can access a Windows command line. It's not from my system, though. It came with a new windows 8 laptop of a friend so I just borrowed it.
1: System Restore. This worked the first time. But now the restore won't finish and throws an error, telling me that it can't restore my system.
2: Refresh PC. "There was a problem refreshing your PC. No changes were made." or something like that.
3: chkdsk on C:\. It says it changed some files, but it doesn't really fix the problem.
4: sfc /scannow. Again, something happened, but it didn't get fixed.
5: bootrec.exe to fix BCD and MBR. Doesn't work. (as far as I know my sytem is using GPT)
6: Hard reset (remove all power sources then hold power button). Still not working.
7: System Restore again. All the restore points aren't working. It reaches a "Finished" state, but then an error comes up after. It says can't extract a specific file, and the restore point is damaged or might have been deleted during restore.
8: checking and fixing bad sectors (nope, no bad sectors on my hard drive)
9: built-in component tests. It passed all of them, except the battery test (my battery really isn't surviving for any duration longer than 30 minutes, but that shouldn't affect my OS). I didn't try the really long tests since I thought it wouldn't matter as my problem is most probably completely software (since linux is still working).
10: cry. oh please. Windows isn't working. What should I do? (
Things I haven't tried.
1: RAM and CMOS battery reset.
2: Reset PC.
3: Format hard drive.
4: Test hard drive on another laptop's system.
If possible I'd like to avoid getting my hard drive wiped, since I have a lot of stuff to backup (more than 300 GB of files + dozens of linux apps and ppas), and I only have a 32GB USB drive to backup all the files I need).
Thanks for reading.

Sorry for the delay. Wasn't expecting the "road work" signs when attempting to check back with you in the AM here.
As others have already mentioned, the prompt for file systems occurs during text mode setup. Quick or Full? FAT or NTFS? How do you know what to do?
We'll start with file systems, short and sweet. Most any OS can read and write FAT volumes without fail which makes FAT ultra-portable, and the only choice if you want to let Mac OS write documents on your Windows volume. It's also more efficient on drives of 16 GB or less. However, FAT has no folder-level access control, so any file in the system can be manipulated by any user or by any system process. By contrast, NTFS is far more restrictive. It can only be manipulated under Windows, though other systems may be able to read it. Not only do you get the access control that FAT lacks, but you also get superior efficiency on large volumes, plus the power to compress or encrypt folders and files at will (in "business" flavors of Windows only--and yes, Vista Ultimate counts as "business" even though it will be supported much like a "consumer" version).
On format speeds: A quick format is very handy if you have a large partition or a single drive completely dedicated to Windows. Because it completes in 30 seconds or less, it will go a long way toward completing your Windows install. However, in some cases, volumes formatted with a quick format may have reliability issues. They must have fixed this in Vista, because Vista can only format at the "quick" speed.
A full format tests all blocks of a given volume (as opposed to testing an entire disk unless the volume itself is the entire disk) as the file system structure is laid down. Bad blocks are marked as "used" when they are found. This type of format takes much longer as a result of all the testing, but the result is a more stable volume from the start.
Get past the formatting stage, and you'll be right as rain.

I took the system file out of the system folder on os 9.2 can't boot to put file back in machine also has osx 10.2 but won't let me boot to either need os 9 compatible boot disk I think?

I took the system file out of the system folder on os 9.2 can't boot to put file back in machine also has osx 10.2 but won't let me boot to either need os 9 compatible boot disk I think?

If the OS X 10.2 on the hard drive is/was bootable, try this -
Restart or boot, then immediately press the X key, keep it held down until you know the machine has started to boot using OS X. This is a hardware instruction to the Mac to boot using the first usable instance of OS X it finds.
Once booted to OS X, you should be able to move OS 9's System file into OS 9's System Folder.
Note - in general, unless you know for sure what you are doing and that the results are desired, do not relocate or rename files in OS 9's System Folder or in OS X's System or Library folders.

My Pavillion dv9700 notebook won't boot unless I first...

My Pavillion notebook won't boot unless I first boot to a cd. Here's the problem:
I have a dv9700 notebook. It wouldn't power up. A local shop said I needed a new motherboard. I ordered one and installed it. Now when I try to boot it gets to the part where the hard drive starts to spin and suddenly shuts down only to power up again and endlessly continue this loop. I have found that if I first boot to a bootable cd and then at the cd menu choose "Start Windows" instead of "Boot to cd" the computer will start Widows Vista and run normally.
I have reseated the RAM and tried only one card at a time and switched slots. The BIOS is up to date. I have booted on ac adapter only. Battery only. Tried another ac adapter.
The BIOS hard drive diagnostic fails, showing no hard drive installed. I have tried the hard drive in a USB enclosure. It read fine. I have tried another hard drive in this computer, still reboots over and over.
I can't figure out why I need to boot to a CD first then switch to Windows Vista on the hard drive.
Any ideas? Thanks

[SOLVED] Can't boot computer (device not found)

On boot (both Normal and Fallback) I get:
Waiting 10 seconds for device /dev/disk/by-uuid/d3c4f22d-65c6-4e06-bcc1-752db552061
ERROR: device '/dev/disk/by-uuid/d3c4f22d-65c6-4e06-bcc1-752db552061' not found
Skipping fsck
And then it drops to a shell, and I need to use "exit" to run, but it requires me to choose a boot partition (I tried exit /dev/sda1 and others but it says invalid number).
I know there are many posts on that, but since I believe this is a specific issue (I updated kernel last night with -Syyu'd), I decided to make my own.
Any ideas? Thank you in advance.

About that, I have some questions...
1. How long can it take?
2. How dangerous is it?
3. Is it really what I need?
4. Can I lose files? Since I can't boot, is there a way to save them?
5. In order to find out what my root partition is, can I use Gparted?
5.1. Can I not use an Arch Live CD and use Ubuntu for example? It's much easier to do it.
6. How do I know if I have a separate boot partition? I have all /dev/sda's, and one of them is boot I think. Don't we all have?
Sorry and thank you!
Also, and I want to make this clear, I did *not* use force on pacman, I never do.
So, what caused?
I just updated it normally, like I always do, was it some arch error everybody else experienced?
1) The time to boot the live cd, type the commands and like 30 seconds for mkinitcpio.
2) lol, not dangerous
3) Since it's in the Q&A: most probably.
4) You can always lose files. Just boot a live cd, mount the partitions you want to save and the partition you want to save it to and copy (or rsync).
5) I don't think so, unless you gave your partitions a descriptive label. Just mount partitions until you find the root.
5.1) I don't think so.
6) If you find your root partition: if /boot is empty, you have a separate boot partition. You can check your fstab to see which one.
What caused? dunno
Was it something everybody experienced: no
Good luck! Just follow the instructions, it's not that hard.

In the get info screen the HD drive is lock, can not boot the computer

I can not boot my imac. In the Get Info window the Hard Drive has no access marked for everyone and a minus sign on the hard drive. How can I get around this??

Boot into Recovery (command-R at startup), launch Disk Utility, select the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name), and run Repair Permissions (not Repair Disk.) Then reboot as usual. That will undo the worst of the damage. You may need to reinstall some of your third-party software.

PowerBook G4 17" 1.67 GHz willnot boot unless battery is inserted

I have a PowerBook G4 17" 1.67 GHz.
It will not boot unless I have a battery inserted.
It will boot just from a battery.
But it will not boot from an AC adapter unless a battery is installed.
This is a fresh OS installation so I don't believe it is software related.
If I remove the battery while booted, I can successfully restart.
But if I do a full shutdown, then I am not able to reboot.
Anyone seen this?
Is it normal?
If not any explanation?
I hope it is not indicative of a logic board problem.
Otherwise there are no other issues I am aware of.
Thanks

This could also be connected to a weak backup battery. You might try an overnight force charge on that item by leaving the unit on AC adapter while removing the main battery. You are getting about to the machine age where that Panasonic Li-Ion cell will be punking out.
How you can test its charge is relatively simple: have the machine on battery, booted but asleep, no AC power connected, then remove the main battery for a few seconds and then replace it. If the machine has not powered down, then the backup is probably OK. If it clunks off, then you should consider replacing the backup battery. One such replacement is sold by iFixit. Some disassembly/assembly and soldering required.

Can't boot os x after bootcamp

Hello.
The problem:
Yesterday I installed windows 7 on my early 2009 (mavericks) mac pro via boot camp.
I have three HD in my mac. One for os x, one for documents, and one for the windows. Before I start bootcamp I formatted my HD into NTFS for Win.
I run the bootcamp and everything went well, until the standard windows partition screen show up. I select the "bootcamp" HD, but i only can continue the installing if I format the hard drive.
The Win7 run well, but now I can't boot into os x.
When I hold down "options", only the windows appear as a selectable option.
I installed bootcamp on windows manually (4.0.4033 according to Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems)
when I try to restart to osx the bootcamp say "there is no bootable volume".
i only see the "bootcamp" HD, and I can't treat the other two.
What I tried
Resetting NVRAM and PRAM
Holding down various key combinations (Options, Command + R, Options + R)
When I take out the "Machintos hd" a flashing folder pic appears.
I don't have the installation disk for os x, and I don't want to uninstall the os x..
There is any solution for my problem?

1. How many physical drives do you have in the MacPro?
2. Was Windows and OS X installed on the same physical drive?
3. In the case of the Tower MacPro with more than one drive, all drives that are not intended for Windows use must be physically removed from drive bays, before Windows is installed.
4. If you cannot see OS X, use an external disk (Firewire or USB with 16GB or more) and install a fresh copy of OS X and both you MacPro and the the disk with Windows can be corrected, if possible.
5. OSX re-installation leaves you files intact, unless you tell the OS X Installer to erase the designated drive.
6. Step 4 can also uses a USB flash drive, if necessary.
The error message is because a drive which was present when Windows was installed (it is stored in the BCD for W7/W8 or boot manager/loader)is no longer available. It is complaining about it.
If you put this drive back, can you boot into Windows successfully? If yes, can you post a screen shot of Control Panel -> System -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> Disk Management.

I can't boot from OS X CD

I need to boot from the OS X CD in order to reset the admin password however, I can't boot from the CD. I have tried changing the startup disk but on restart it still boots from the hard drive. I hold down the C key and still it boots from the hard drive.
The Powerbook is running OS 10.2.8 and I am trying to boot with an OS 10.2.1 disk.
What is the problem?

Are you using the OS X installer disc that came with the computer? If not, be sure the version of OS X you have is a late enough version to boot the computer model you have. Since you didn't indicate exactly which model Powerbook you have, there's no way I can tell what minimum version of OS X you need.
Note that if you have an Upgrade CD it will not boot the computer unless the version installed on the computer is earlier than the version on the CD.

IMac won't boot unless snow leopard disc is in the drive

I am running 10.6.4 and have a boot camp partition running windows 7. The windows side is working fine, however snow leopard will not boot unless I put the disc in the drive. I don't need to do anything else at all, just put the disc in. If I do not put the disc in, I get the apple logo appear, a time bar appears at the bottom of the screen which fills up a small amount and then disappears and then I get the grey spinning circle and the apple logo for ever more!
Can anyone please offer me some advice?

Something you could try would be booting to the Snow Leopard install disk. Once at the welcome screen, choose your language and click next. At the top of the screen you will notice the menu bar appear, choose Utilities > Disk Utility. In Disk Utility choose your Mac partition, from there go to the First Aid tab and Verify the Disk and also your Disk Permissions. If any errors show up click Repair on the respective option. After that try booting to OS X again, without the Snow Leopard disk inserted.

T400 won't boot unless more than 50% charge after BIOS update

After updating the BIOS (which, ironically, were supposed to fix this problem I didn't have before), my T400 will not boot unless the machine is either on AC power or the battery has more then ~50% charge left. The bootup sequence will start, the BIOS will post, but just after it gets through the boot loader the machine will just power off. Attempting to boot after this first occurance usually ends in it crashing at BIOS.
The battery light is always green, and after plugging into AC power, the battery shows a significant charge (40% on the lastest crash) once the machine actually boots. Attempting to re-update the BIOS gives a "You already have the newest BIOS" message, and I can't find the old version of the Lenovo website.

Just for future reference, if you click on the red Support tab at the top of this page, then scroll to downloads, then click Driver Matrices, this will give you a list for all the different models.
If you click one, you'll get a complete list of drivers for that model, including older versions of drivers.
You can bookmark those pages, and copy links to those pages.
It's a little easier to find things there, but you should still crosscheck that page with the driver page that you have been using to make sure you have current drivers. Sometimes updates to driver pages lag a bit.

Can you boot off a usb drive or external hard drive (usb 2.0) on an iMac?

I have an intel iMac that will not boot off of a USB drive with Ubuntu installed (my PC netbook boots off the usb drive fine) or my external hard drive with Ubuntu installed. I heard somewhere that you cannot boot off of usb on iMacs even if they are Intel, but a Genius bar guy told me diffferent. Then why won't it work for me, and how can I make it? Thanks.

I should have been more general in my post - I don't believe any Mac can boot off an external drive with Ubuntu. I could be wrong of course (and if I am, hopefully someone will correct me), but as Mac hardware is so specific that it demands a specific install disk for each build/model/generation, it would be unable to boot with just a "foreign" OS such as Ubuntu installed. As you may know, you can't boot an iMac with an install disk from a different model iMac, Macbook, or any other Mac (unless it is exactly the same build/model), so it doesn't surprise me that it won't boot with Ubuntu.
Edit: and this question begs to be asked: why would you want to boot/use Ubuntu when you have a superb OS to work with already?
