Converted OVM Server Image to VirtualBox, now won't boot.

Hi
I have a Linux image(.img) from OracleVM server which I had to convert to VirtualBox format(vdi) for portability.
I used the command - VBoxManage convertfromraw System.img System.vdi
Now the converted image would not come up with some errors during boot screen, some line of which are
No TPM chip found - activating TPM Bypass!
insmod - error inserting /lib/xen-blkfront.ko
mount: could not find filesystem /dev/root
Kernel panic - not syncing, attempted to kill init!
Pid: 1, comm: init Not Tainted 2.6.32.300.38.1.el5uek
I have tried switching the disk between IDE and SATA and also removing all hardware peripherals like USB, Audio, Network but no go.
Please help.

Itsakc, I would like to try and replicate this issue.
What version of Virtualbox are you using ?
What version of Oracle VM did this image come from?
Also can you confirm the Linux kernel that the VM is running is "2.6.32.300.38.1.el5uek" ? As this is what was posted by you at the begining of this thread "Pid: 1, comm: init Not Tainted 2.6.32.300.38.1.el5uek"
One more thing I know you said this image is not currently using the Xen kernel, but did it ever have the Xen kernel install when it was on Oracle VM? Xen can leave behind stuff sometimes that needs to be manully cleaned up. This line from the origanl post is why I am asking this. "insmod - error inserting /lib/xen-blkfront.ko"
Thank you, Russell

MacBook pro kernel panic, now won't boot. Am I doomed?

My MacBook Pro 15" (bought in Jan 2012) just had a kernel panic and now won't boot up.. Am I doomed?

No, it doesn't necessarily mean the hard drive is toast. You can start by doing the following:
Boot into Safe Mode then do this:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion
Boot from your Lion Recovery HD. When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
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.
If the drive is OK and you can repair permissions, then see if the computer will boot up normally. If it doesn't boot up normally then reinstall OS X:
Reinstalling Lion Without Erasing the 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.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

Hi guys I'm really in need of some help. I have an IMac I3 for a while now I've been having a problem of my machine refusing it shut down , it goes to a blue screen with a spinning wheel but doesn't shut down. And now won't boot from install DvD

Please some one help me ...
A) my mac won't shut down with external HD connected (if it's been used)
B) there are disk permissions that can't be fixed SUID stuff ..
C) I have now verified the Mac HD and it tells me it's corrupt in bold red writing and to start up from install DVD
D) it won't boot from DVD so I cannot run the repair , initially the machine was spitting it out on start up , now it appears to be attempting to boot off DVD , well it sounds like it is .... BUT it's hanging with the Mac Logo and a wheel ... For um .... 30min now...
E) weirdly when OSX is booted off the hard drive , it won't recognise the Install DvD or the applications one... It just spits them out....
I had an old PPC 17" and it was a beaut .... Never had a single problem with it ...
I bought this one December 2010 and it's been nothing but issues for a computer in excess of £1000 I'm extremely disappointed ... And weirdly the shutting down issue started when it was a week out of warrantee ... I feel conned and am almost at the point of throwing it at a wall and buying a PC

Ok so I've done what you said and this is what it's come back ....
I don't know that these are the errors , but they're the things which don't look right ...
Throughout the shut down there is a recurring line ;
It says ;
Com.apple.launchd 1 0x100600e70.anonymous.unmount 301 PID still valid
Then there are 2 more which I think are related ;
Com.apple.securityd 29 PID job has I overstayed its welcome , forcing removal.
Then the same with fseventd 48 and diskarbitrationd 13
Oh and on Launchd1 : System : stray anonymous job at shut down : PID 301 PPID13 PGID 13 unmount...
Then the last process says "about to call: reboot (RB_AUTOBOOT).
Continuing...
And stops ...
Hope this means something to you ... Thanks again for your help so far :-)

WinXP booted after BIOS update cleared RAID setting, now won't boot in RAID mode

I updated the P965 Platinum BIOS to 1.7 and my system stopped booting. After much experimentation I discovered it would boot if I unplugged the monitor and mouse, so I was able to "upgrade" to 1.6, and it's working again. However, the first time it booted blind with 1.7 it got all the way to Windows before I realized what happened.
My system was set up with a RAID1 pair, but the BIOS upgrade cleared the SATA mode to IDE, and it booted Windows before I changed it back. Now Windows won't boot when I set it to RAID. It complains <windows>/system32/hal.dll is missing or corrupt. It seems to work (mostly) when I put it back to IDE mode. How do I get it back to RAID1?

Why did you upgrade to 1.7 bios?
Also, you do not by have by any chance a Nvidia based card in system?

System Updates, Now Won't Boot

I did four recommended system updates yesterday, two being Security and ITunes. Now my MacBook won't boot, even in Safe Boot mode or from the disk. Just the blue screen and the circle. I have it connected to another computer so I can see and get into the HD that won't boot but I'm not sure how to bring it back without deleting other files that have nothing to do with it. I'd like to return my system to how it was before I did those updates. It does not have TimeMachine. Is there any way to return to "yesterday" before the updates?
Thanks from Gina

You won't be able to return to the "yesterday" configuration unless you have a backup.
I assume you are using Target Disk mode to connect the MacBook to another Mac. If so, use Disk Utility on the other Mac to run the following: first Repair Disk Permissions. If that doesn't correct the problem, then run First Aid.

RAM Upgrade, now won't boot

Hi all,
I recently bought 2 x 2GB Kingston RAM modules to upgrade my MBP from it's current 2GB (2x1GB) up to 4GB. The Kingston part number is KVR667D2S5/2G
When I swap over the modules, the laptop won't boot at all, just a black screen and the white LED just stays on.
I've tried each module individually and in each slot but no joy.
Please can anyone help me? Am I missing something basic??
My MBP is a 2.5Ghz 15" model, MB134LL/A, which according to the specs can have "Up to 4GB of 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM".
Thanks in advance,
Anthony

It's got me puzzled, and a bit annoyed really, as it should work up to 4GB. I've also seen reports from other people who have these same modules working in various MBP's.
It does/will work at 4GB with the proper RAM. I'm not surprised that some of the Kingston's VR works for some MBPs, but not yours. Here's why: Apple's specs are very tight (tolerances, if you will), compared to the PC industry, and seem to get tighter with each new OS upgrade. When you buy guaranteed Mac compatible RAM, it means that RAM has been tested with and passed Apple's specs. Just by chance, some other generic RAM (KVR, for instance), may pass and be compatible with Macs, while others won't. You obviously got some the is not compatible, and even if it was now, it might fail Apple's future specs. That's why I'd never buy KVR or generic RAM. I don't need the hassle that you're going through now, or, if not now, probably would go through in the future.

Macbook Pro 2010 froze, now won't boot.

Hey all,
I have a Macbook Pro that i got in 2010. It has been a great machine. I have done a couple of upgrades on the ram and hard drive. For a while there were not any problems. But last week my computer froze up, app by app, till the whole computer was unusable. Then I restarted the computer and it said that the hard drive was having problems. I tried doing all the repairs on the hard drive, eventually replacing it with a SSD because I thought the drive was dead. So I plugged in the SSD and it had a hard time writing to it the first time I booted the computer with internet recovery, but when I tried it again it allowed me to install OS X Mountain Lion again. Got it installed, then the exact same thing happened to me, each app froze, till the whole computer froze, now the machine won't boot, or even let me do any of the keyboard boot options. It just sits at a blank screen and gets hot. Any ideas? I really need my computer to be working right now and i don't have the money for an additional one.
Thanks

Yes, unfortunately, yet another Apple device failure. Question marked answered because repaired under warranty. BUT:
It is embarrassing as a Mac bigot to have had this problem and in the few months since ALSO had:
- iMac 24" (condensation inside screen, never happened to any other company's monitors)
- iPhone 3GS white screen of death
and before this:
- MacBook Pro 17" defective graphics, motherboard replaced
- PowerBook G4 17" defective sound system, motherboard replaced
- eMac G4 700, screen fizzled into showing 1/4 display size in center, thrown away
- PowerBook G3 500 FW defective, whole machine replaced
- PowerBook G3 300 defective, machine replaced
- PowerBook Duo 280c defective keyboard, replaced
and I can't even remember past that.
Can't make fun of ugly clunky Dells or HPs anymore after this experience.

Battery died while updating to OS X 10.5.2, Now won't boot!

Dear all,
Last night I went to update my PowerBook from 10.5.1 to 10.5.2, along with a couple of other updates that Software Update had downloaded. Half way through the installation my battery died, and now with the mains plugged in, the computer won't boot at all. I get the initial white screen with they grey apple logo in the middle and a spinning loading icon.
Is there anything I can do to revert it and get it to boot up?
I have a time machine backup from about a week ago, but have some work I did yesterday I would really rather not lose if at all possible!
Many thanks in advance,
Jude

Lesson learned: never update on battery.
If you can boot your computer with your OS disc, and if you have enough free hard drive space, you can perform an Archive and Install. This way you lose nothing but the 90-180 minutes it will take for the OS to install.
If it won't boot off the CD or you lack the drive space for an archive and install find another Mac user and mount your computer's drive on their computer using FW target disk mode.

Pismo now won't boot into X (but runs 9.1)

I originally upgraded PBG3(FW)(pismo) to panther about a year ago. All was well and it worked without any problem.
Then at the suggestion of software update I did one of the security updates (to be honest i can now no longer remember which one) and after that it crashed and refused to boot.
It will not boot from my panther CD - sometimes gets as far as the grey apple and spinning disk, then stalls.
It will boot from a backup 9.1 CD and I can re-install 9.1 on the HD, which then boots and runs normally (wow its fast).
From within 9.1 the panther CD mounts and verifies normally. In startup disk it is greyed out so i can't chose to start from it. If I launch the installer it tries to restart but won't and gives an error to the effect of not being able to startup from the startup CD.
It will not boot from a clone of my PM G4 installation from a firewire HD.
The panther CD will startup the G4 (so it must work) and I can install panther on the pismo HD when it is in FW target disk mode. But the pismo will still not then boot from this install.
Its as if something in the update stopped the poor pismo from starting up from any version of X. No other hardware changes made between it being OK and now refusing to boot.
Any help very gratefully recieved !

Hi Jon:
Good call on removing the RAM, which is often a culprit of kernel panics, and you're right, Panther does need at least 128MB to run. You could try another stick of RAM (I'd recommend Kingston or Azen)....
I've installed Panther on close to 50 mac of various flavors in the last two years, everything from 350 MHz iMac to a dual 2GHz PowerMac G5, and have rarely encountered a problem that couldn't be resolved with a simple hardware change (RAM, optical or hard drive). Right now, as it turns out, I'm having problems with a 350MHz iMac. Panther installs ok, all the updates go ok, all the installed apps run fine, but as soon as I try to change the screen saver, it freezes. I've wiped the drive, written zeros, and reinstalled, and both times I get the exact same thing. I've swapped RAM, which makes no difference, so I'm about to try a different hard drive.
Let us know how replacing the mach_kernel file goes, and good luck!

In OSX now won't boot back to OS9 Help!

Hi Folks! I've done this before but it's been a while and I've forgotten how to resolve the problem. I usually use OS9 on this computer but i booted into X and then used classic and now it won't boot back to OS9. You can select the OS9 drive in the startup panel but it just boots back to X. Using an option boot the OS9 drive doesn't show up. The only thing I did was startup classic using the system folder on that separate OS9 drive. Why would starting up classic render a perfectly good boot drive inoperable. I ran Diskwarrior on it to make sure the directory was in good shape. The OSX is one one drive and the OS9 is on another. Tom

Hi Tom-
Do you need to rebless the system folder?

IMac ate DVD, now won't boot...

Hi,
After using iDVD I had the dreaded "ate the disc" issue, with the typical grinding noise and the lack of ejection. I figured I would play it safe, power down the machine so it wouldn't be reading it, and boot it up again and eject it using the keyboard / mouse button options that are suggested here.
Except it won't boot at all.
I'm stuck on a grey screen, the HD does nothing, and the DVD drive grinds from the instant the power is on.
I have literally no options that I can think of - it just sits and grinds and does nothing, won't boot, won't target disk, won't do anything. None of the hold-buttons-at-start will do anything, because the machine won't get that far. The drive starts grinding before the screen even lights up.
Help!

Ok, now it appears to have booted, but the disk is still in there. I'm doing a full Time Machine backup (justincase), but after that... what to do?
I really can't be without this machine for two weeks and it was a custom order so a replacement isn't going to happen.
As someone who works for Apple's biggest UK reseller, am I seriously having to reconsider whether I even want to work there any more - no reflection on my employers, obviously, but this is 3 bad machines I've had from Apple in one year and the return rate I've started seeing on hardware is utterly appalling.
The nosedive in quality after using them for over 8 years is simply astonishing.

2009 iMac was overheating and now won't boot

I would post more info but I do not have it as the computer will not start.
It is an 21" iMac bought in 2010. I think around September just before the update came out.
It was overheating I noticed last week. ( i do not use this computer, my wife and children do or I would have noticed this sooner ).
3 days ago it decided not to boot up and only gives the spinning gears on the white screen.
I reset the pram, unplugged the power cord, all peripherals etc.. still no boot.
I did at one point get it to load up the recover I think it is called where you have the option to reinstall Lion and few other options.
I ran disk check, repaired the drive and tried to reboot. No luck.. same issue.
One thing when I did reset the PRAM I believe it was, the fan came on full speed and dust came flying out of the top of the iMac.
It did this while it was on and running the disk check. Once I rebooted the fan did not come back on.. or it is but on very quiet.
As I want to try to recover any files on the iMac I did not choose to reinstall LION yet.
I am not sure if it would do a new install or overwrite the existing and all files on the Hard Drive.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you

Hi pbx77,
I am experiencing exactly the same situation as yours now.
Mine is iMac 27" was bought around 2010 also.
It was overheating almost everyday for a few weeks, and today it just hang and after we turn it off it won't boot anymore and stuck at the apple logo with rotating wheel which does rotate.
Interestingly it will heat up very fast even when we wait for this screen only about 15-20 minutes.
What happened with yours and have you resolved it and how did you resolve it?
Was your hard drive and data okay?
Thanks!

Failed XP installation, now won't boot OS X

Hi, I just got my Mac Pro and am experiencing problems after trying to set up a second partition with Windows XP. On top of the 500GB HD, I installed a Western Digital Caviar Green 1TB internal drive, which I had planned to install Windows on. After a failed attempt to format & partition the drive with Windows XP (I kept getting a black screen with "The following file is missing or corrupt: \system32\hal.dll"), I gave up on XP's problems, restarted in OS X and deleted the Windows partition through Boot Camp Manager.
Now when I boot up my computer, I'm greeted with a black screen and a blinking cursor. That is unless I hold down Option and select "Mac OS X". However, that is going to get old after a while. I'm guessing it's still trying to boot up Windows even though it was supposedly deleted. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

MDew1:
Please try the following:
1. Boot into Leopard as you do with holding down the Option Key.
2. In Leopard go to *System Preferences*
3. Under System select *Startup Disk*
4. Highlight *Mac HD* and Restart
See if the above works for you and that you no longer have to hold down the Option key during the subsequent startups.
