Can`t Reboot after Oracle Linux Rel.6 Installed

Previously the Desktop PC had WINDOWS 7 and Debian Linux installed with GRUB controlling the dual boot between Debian and Windows 7. It worked fine.. no problems. Decided to go with Oracle Linux as I will be installing some Oracle products on this PC.
Installed Oracle Linux over Debian. The Oracle Linux install completed successfully and requested a reboot. On reboot the process stops on the GRUB step showing...
GRUB Loading.
Welecome to GRUB!
error: file not found.
Entering rescue mode...
grub_rescue
Seems to be missing a file on the Linux side to initiate the dual boot sequence.
1. Does Oracle Linux have GRUB available for dual boots.
2. If not, then is there some tool available to control dual boots with Oracle Linux and Windows 7.

Reran the entire Oracle Linux install and ensured the boot loader was put in the Master Boot Record. I selected 'Change Device' to confirm the Master Boot Record option was highlighted.
Here are my partitions on disk 'sdb' :
Disk
Device Size (MB) Mount Point Type
sdb
sdb1 2000 / ext4
sdb2 8000 swap
sdb3 180780 ext3
Rebooted system when the Oracle Iinux install finished - successfully... but once again encountered the following:
GRUB Loading.
Welecome to GRUB!
error: no such device: 121d0490-81aa-4f10-a2fa-17ca257b27f4
Entering rescue mode...
grub_rescue
Followed your instructions to fix the problem, and at the shell prompt # entered these commands :
chroot /dev/sysimage
grup-install /dev/sdb
Message returned:
Installation finished. No errors encountered
This is the contents of the device map /boot/grub/device.map
# This device map was generated by anaconda
(hd0) /dev/sdb
Rebooted system... same GRUB error message was displayed.
What am I missing? Never had this problem with Debian !

Want to install Oracle Linux Rel.6 and have a graphical interface

After reading:
Does Oracle Linux Rel.6 have graphical capabilities
How do you install the GUI for Oracle Linux Rel 6?

I'm glad you did not take my remark to call you a Linux enthusiast in bad way. It certainly was not meant to be a bad comment, but it's was probably silly of me to make such a remark anyway. I do not take personally offence easily in a forum like this. No, if you want to offend me, post poor code and claim it as the best thing since slice bread. ;-)
I guess I strive to be liberal, but by definition I don't think I really fit into any political wing.Likewise. Find politics a necessary evil to keep abreast of - such as the election in the US.
Back to Linux and your example, I have used such interfaces for many years too. Unfortunately we often have to use what is provided. However, the reason for the text interface is no longer valid, unless your input device is only a text based terminal.Not as much the input device - heck, pure tty devices are pretty much a thing of the past. It is about the complexity of the infrastructure between you and the device you need to administer. And about the task you need to perform.
The connectivity can mean being unable to run a GUI - due to performance, firewalls, router configurations and so on. The task at hand could very well be easily done, using the relevant o/s commands via a command line interface.
I think there is nothing against a GUI app that runs on your PC to sends appropriate commands to a text interface over a slow serial link, apart from the effort that is required to interact with errors, etc.Much more complex than that. A terminal server is usually used - and it attaches to the serial/RS232 connections of multiple devices that need to be administered. It will typically reside on a separate management network too, and not on the local company/corporate intranet.
So for you to access a device to administer, you need an open firewall to the management network to reach the management server that handles the serial console connection for the device you want to administer. You need a valid o/s account on that terminal server. You need to use ssh to access the command line of that terminal server. You need to enter the relevant command that will attach your ssh session to the RS232 console connection to the device to administer.
There is no GUI app on your side that can not only automagically do all this for you, but also provide you with GUI admin widgets to send commands to the remote device. Even if that remote device being sysadmin'ed is Linux, different distros and different versions of the same distros, means different commands, variances in command line parameters for such commands, and so on.
A sysadmin that cannot deal with such situations, and need a GUI as a crutch to administer a device.. I for one will not call that person a sysadmin. I would call the person incompetent instead. Harsh views perhaps, but being sysadmin is an unforgiving job. A mistake, or inability to access a device and fix it using the bare minimum, could result in severe financial loss for the company.

Does Oracle Linux Rel.6 have graphical capabilities

Installed Oracle Linux Rel. 6 on a stand-alone PC for testing. When the system boots it defaults to terminal mode automatically. What is required are graphical capabilities to load Oracle products (DB and OEM). Is this possible with this linux and how?

Dude wrote:
At some point in history a computer was not even considered a consumer device. Sorry I don't understand why a graphical interface, which intends to make complex configurations easier to manage and more foolproof, should not be applied to "expert devices". It does not make it easier. That is a fallacy - the type of argument one gets from a Windows admin that only knows a GUI and nothing else. There are numerous times when dealing with the command line is not only far more powerful, but also far more easier. There are so many different types of configurations, many not to be found in any GUI. There are configurations that are too complex for a GUI. Etc.
Linux is not Windows. Linux does not have an all-configuration-in-one-basket registry. So the GUI centric approach to sys admin on Linux is not only the wrong approach, but a dangerous one.
As for the desktop interface, I have no problem if someone decides that their servers run best without it, and that a text interface and a bare metal engine is the way a computer should run. It depends on your environment and desires, and it is easy enough for someone with such requirement and technical background to customize a Linux system accordingly. But I'm not a fan of social engineering and don't think it should be disabled by default because it will give newcomers a harder time than required.So instead give newcomers a crutch called a GUI and hobble them for the rest of their lives, expecting a GUI to be the extend of what sys admin and configuration are on Linux?
To put this into an analogy. A Cessna single engine 152 pilot cannot simply expect to get into a twin turbo prop King Air and fly the plane. He cannot argue that the plane should be easy enough to fly for a pilot and that as he is a pilot he should be able to fly it. He first needs to learn how twins behave. What the envelope is. How the systems work. Etc.
Yes, he will need his basic piloting skills learned as a C152 pilot. But those skills alone do not suffice.
Similarly, newcomers to Linux sys admin should not expect to simply get into the driving seat and effectively and correctly install and configure it. There is a learning curve. Arguing that this learning curve needs to be mitigated by a GUI? That is like a C152 pilot arguing that he does not need to know the complexities of a twin as he can use the autopilot in his little Cessna and all he needs to fly the large twin is to use that plane's autopilot. It is nonsensical.

My iPhone 4 can not reboot after upgrading to iOS 6; keeps trying and cannot shut off either.

My iPhone 4 can not reboot after upgrading to iOS 6; keeps trying and cannot shut off either.

I FINALLY got it to work on BOTH iPhone 4 and iPpad 3. Here is what I had to do:
Had to DELETE all e-mail accounts including icloud.
Did a hard reset (hold down button on top right corner and round button on bottom center)
Then once it came back on, the iPhone had ALL of the accounts still on it and it was receivng e-mail.
The iPad receive e-mail until I did the steps above 5 times. Plus, I had to add back all of the e-mail accounts vs. on the iPhone 4 they were there when my phone came on.
Now I am receiving e-mail on both devices normally.
No clue why this happened, but Apple needs to find a fix ASAP.

How to install cinnamon after arch linux core was installed?

Hi,
Does anyone know how to install cinnamon desktop environment after arch linux core was installed? It can access internet but no desktop environment now. So how to install and configure cinnamon on arch linux via command?
Many thanks!

after arch linux core was installed
So you finished installing the basesystem or also bootloader, graphics and so on? (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners'_Guide)
If you finished installing with the Beginners Guide you need to install the cinnamon package (pacman -S cinnamon). After you installed cinnamon you need a display manager - e.g. lxdm (You can use another one, here's an overview: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Display_Manager). If you want to use lxdm with cinnamon you have to install the lxdm package (pacman -S lxdm) and enable it afterwards (systemctl enable lxdm.service). If you've done with this just restart, you should see the graphical display manager you installed. If there's a dropdownmenu or something like that (e.g. when you use gdm instead of lxdm) choose cinnamon as display environment and login.
More informations can be found in the wiki:
Display Manager: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LXDM
Display Environment: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cinnamon

There is a problem with the activation process between your machine and Apple to verify your machine is allowed to reinstall OS X.
You will have to call AppleCare to resolve this issue. (even if you did't purchase AppleCare you still call their number)
https://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
Another method is to take it back to the AppleStore you purchased the machine at.

No GUI after reboot for Oracle Linux 6 installation

I am trying to resolve an Oracle Linux 6.2 (64 bit) installation issue. I selected Oracle Linux server default setup and after the reboot, the X-Window or KDE GUI graphical
interface does not come up. Instead, I get a command line prompt. Any idea how to resolve this issue to get an Oracle Linux 6 installation with graphical interface?

Greetings,

Continual reboot after win2k sp3 or sp4 install

Works w/ win2k sp2. With sp3 or sp4 installed reboots after logon screen (CtlAltDel) appears. BSOD quickly followed by splash screen of "Out of Range" message. Couldn't read BSOD message. Works fine after un-install sp* from safe mode. Fails when disp adapter set to VGA or SVGA modes. Fails w/ either PCI(STB) or AGP(GeForce2 MX-400). Un-installed display driver - still fails outside of safe mode.
Any help is appreciated! Thanx. -mw13j

Try increasing your RAMs Voltage by 0.1v and do a clean format on your C: partition before installation or you could just update through Windows Update where everything is updated through windows 1st before rebooting.

Help -can't reboot after restore

My son needed to run some Microsoft CAD software on his iMac. So we successfully partitioned the hard drive, installed boot camp, and got the microsoft partition working. We then restored the mac partition from his time capsule back up. Restore appeared to be ok but then the system wouldn't reboot - just hung on grey screen and spinning wheel.
I've tried using the install disk (snow leopard) to clear the mac side of the drive and recover again with a slightly earlier back up - same result.
I've use the instal disk to do disk repair - nothing found - then did a permission repair - lots of changes. Then did disk repair again - nothing found. then rebooted holding the alt key to give me the choice between the two partitions. Again on mac side hung on grey screen and spinning wheel. Microsoft side booting fine.
I've disconnected everything and am using a wired keyboard as I read some stuff that suggested this in case a device was causing an issue.
Anybody got any ideas?

Normally it should work within 5 mins .
Try this steps
01.Remove all other devices from computer (Network cable , printer, card reader) , leave only the power cable , usb keyboard and mouse
02. restart your mac and asap and when its restart press this 4 keys from the keyboard
keys : apple(cmd) +Option (alt)+P + R.
03. your mac shoud restart in this point ,, DONT relese the keys. so this should happen again and your mac should restart 4 times continuesly. after your imac restart after 4th time you can relese the keys.
04. Then try to press the " shift" key and see if its loading the OS from safeboot
Hope that helps

Booting using single user to run appljack - can't reboot after

I have a newbie question and hopefully someone can answer it.
I am a long time windows user and recent Mac convert but I am having problems understanding Mac's commands in single user mode.
I logged into single user mode to run applejack and now everytime the computer starts it goes directly back to single user mode. According to the applejack documentation on the web it should reboot and start in normal mode after running but this is not happening! everytime it finishes and reboots it goes back into single user mode.
How can I stop this from happening?
Thanks!

Restart your machine with the Option, Command, P, and R keys held down; if a setting in your firmware is causing your computer to boot into Single User mode, doing this will clear it. If this doesn't work, post back with the complete text of the messages that appear when you enter Single User mode.

Can't reboot after reinstall [solved]

Hello everybody! this is my first post on the forum, so first of all thanks to all the devs for their work and to all the people here for their answers ( and please forgive my errors when i write in english!).
This is my problem: on my laptop I have WinXP on sda1 and arch on sda2, with grub installed on sda2; i modified boot.ini and I have dual boot with windows bootloader.With this configuration everything was fine, since my first "Noodle" installation.
Few days ago i decided to do some order in my laptop, so i reinstalled arch with Voodoo's cd, with the same configuration as above; i rebooted and everything was ok.Then i update all the system with pacman -Syu; upgrading went smooth with no errors (as usual in arch!), including kernel 2.6.22, but when i rebooted and chose arch from windows bootloader menu i obtain only a black screen with the word "GRUB" in the upper left corner and a sound of error from the hardware. I tried to boot from arch installation cd (arch root=/dev/sda2) and everything went well.
I search more infos and tried some workarounds, and at the end it seems that now grub can't boot from a non-bootable partition like my sda2 (bootable flag is on sda1 with windows); changing bootable flag solve the problem.So, what is changed? is a grub problem or arch booting system change? i'd prefer to boot with windows bootloader on sda1 and windows as default (because I'm not the only one using this laptop), is there a solution or i must use grub for boot also winXP? I apologize for the length of the post, and thanks in advance!

Well, i'm at work now (last day before holiday!) and i don't have my laptop here, i'll post boot.ini this evening;
my windows sda1 partition is ntfs, and yes I used the dd command to create a copy of boot record of sda2 :
dd if=/dev/sda2 of=bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1
copied bootsect.lnx under windows C: and modified boot.ini adding this entry (I don't remember the exact line i added)
But I think that the "windows part" of the configuration is ok, because windows bootloader gives me the correct options and boot windows correctly;
the problem appears when i choose arch i windows'menu and the control of booting process pass to grub, which hangs with the black screen i described above.
Most of all i'd like to know what is changed with "don't panic" release, because everything was fine and boots correctly with "noodle","gimmick", "voodoo" and "duke".
As I say above, if i change bootable flag with fdisk and put it on sda2 grub starts to work again and show me the correct options "arch" and "arch-fallback", but in this way I'll have to uncomment windows entry in grub menu.lst and boot windows from grub; it's a solution but it's not exactly what I want.
Thanks you all for replies!

Don't worry about the IRQ's - you've got XP running in ACPI mode and it is NORMAL for many devices to share one IRQ. See the Microsoft Knowledge base article here:
In theory with programmable interrupts that SHOULD be the case but not always.
I have seen both sides of the debate. Still, there are actually only 15 physical IRQ's to live with and some are dedicated. Having multiple devices on one IRQ is not the problem really, it's how it's managed and who gets what when it's requested is the problem.
The best thing is to try to play by the rules if you can.
A good example is my setup
IRQ 0 System timer OK
IRQ
1 Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard OK
IRQ
3 Communications Port (COM2) OK
IRQ 4 Communications Port
(COM1) OK
IRQ 6 Standard floppy disk controller OK
IRQ
8 System CMOS/real time clock OK
IRQ 9 Microsoft
ACPI-Compliant System OK
IRQ 11 NVIDIA nForce PCI System
Management OK
IRQ 13 Numeric data processor OK
IRQ
14 Primary IDE Channel OK
IRQ 15 Secondary IDE
Channel OK
IRQ
19 MSI 8606 Video Capture OK
IRQ 19 MSI 8606 Audio
Capture OK
IRQ 19 NVIDIA GeForce FX 5900 Ultra OK
I am aware of this sharing of 19. It was not a
problem with a previous Leadtek TV Tuner
IRQ 20 Standard Enhanced

IRQ 22 NVIDIA(R) nForce(TM) MCP Audio Processing Unit

Above you can see plenty of sharing, if I move my TV card to slot three, IRQ 19 is no longer shared, I basically don't see any problems, yet I haven't tried to do any real capture from a device yet so...
Try it without the Sound card....what the heck

Can't reboot after 10.4.11 software update

I have downloaded the 10.4.11 update. Mac wont reboot - I get the grey apple screen with the rotating wheel.
I have tried rebooting with disc - but dont have enough space to Archive and Install
I have also tried "first Aid" in Disk Utilities - but no problems identified.
I have tried to boot un Safe Mode - but no joy
What next? Any ideas?

I have got an external hard drive (USB not Firewire).
Sadly, you cannot boot your PB into OSX from USB, only FW, so that idea is out.
I can try to delete from Terminal - how do you do this...
It can be dangerous using the Terminal, typing is of utmost importance, and SPACES between things can be the difference between wiping everything or just one thing.
If you want to try Terminal, let's try this once you have it open...
cd Users
then enter, that "changes the Directory, then we can list what is there with...
ls
then enter.
Tere is also an mv, (move command), should you wish to try to copy it to the USB drive.
