/dev/sda1 doesn't exist

Hello,
Whenever I try to mount my flash drive I use this command:
#mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb
For some reason, it says now that /dev/sda1 doesn't exist.
I think my flash drive itself is dead but it's not inserted when the computer starts so I don't know why the device isn't in /dev.
I'm currently at school so I can't give the exact error. Tell me if you need the output of any command.

I do have other things in the usb ports. They're a brother printer and a wireless mouse piece. Here is the output of dmesg:

  • Root device /dev/sda1 doesn't exist

    I got something like this when I booted today (at the stage of initializing kernel):
    Root device '/dev/sda1' doesn't exist, attempting to create it
    ERROR: Failed to parse block device ids
    ERROR: Unable to detect or create root device'
    I did try the normal kernel (I currently use kernel26-ice), but haven't tried those xen0 and selinux kernels though. Also I tried changing /dev/sda1 to hda1 in menu.lst and fstab, but no luck .
    E: Will try this one once I have time: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … .27t_exist
    Other help is still of course greatly appreciated .

    Yeah, thanks but I even used rootdelay=90 by then.
    The problem turned out to be that I didn't have the "sata" or "filesystems" hook on my (/etc/)mkinitcpio.conf, so it wouldn't have been possible to recognize any other partitions or any filesystems either (at least with my machine).
    So how I booted correctly (with the first time btw) was that I booted the -fallback kernel that DOES have (all) the hook(s) I needed in the kernel26(-ice)-fallback.img.
    So I had these hooks before this:
    base udev fbsplash autodetect pata scsi sata uresume filesystems
    During this:
    base udev uresume
    And now after this:
    base udev sata uresume filesystems
    Cheers!

  • /dev entry doesn't exist but /devices does!

    I have a pseudo dd that seems to install and attach ok.
    There is an entry in /devices but none in /dev.
    I've tried modifying devlinks.tab and running devlinks, but this doesn't help.
    Its nearly there(I think) - any advice or pointers would be appreciated.

    use correct syntax i.e tab space before /D and
    also give driver name and minor name correctly.
    no need to run devlinks when u say add_drv devlinks
    get automatically executed.

    Hi!
    EDIT SOLVED: Booted from a arch-core CD and did a;

    Seems like a had a configuration error in my old mkinitcpio.conf file and kernel install failed.
    .. But should it install when the kernel install failes?

    I have the same issue with kernel26-lts-2.6.32.41-1.
    Recent Arch updates made my favourite operating system of the worst kind: flashplugin freezez in 5 seconds, mozilla gets some freezes as well,
    copying files from one drive to another takes like 1.5h and many more weird things including some frequent performance abuses by the processes.
    I see Arch behaves like old Microshit products. Sad thing but I move to more stable distro very soon, because I have enough of fixing bugs 3 times a week, to make my Arch usable again. Before like 6 months ago updated were less frequent and surprises were once a month not twice a week. Outrageous.
    Perhaps Arch crew is overrun by the Apple guys, to compromise this distro, to encourage people to buy Apple products instead of using faulty Windowses or from day to day more troublesome Linuxes.
    Going to the point.
    So in response I wanted give LTS a try, but it drops me to recovery console (ramfs) saying that "Root device doesn't exist"

  • [Solved]Boot from USB HDD - Root device doesn't exist. Major/minor

    My problem is that the kernel seems (or starts) to load, but then I get an error:
    Root device 'UUID=1234 . . .' doesn't exist.
    Attempting to create it.
    ERROR: Unable to determine major/minor number of root device "UUID=1234 . . .'
    You are being dropped into recovery shell
    I found a few links on the web and in the forums, but nothing that really solved it for me. The solved ones usually downgraded the kernel.  I haven't done that yet.  I thought I'd try here first.
    I have a 320GB USB HDD that I have been using to experiment with different linux distros.  I have a few working successfully (OpenSUSE,Mint,Ubuntu,Debian,Fedora,etc).  I'm very new at this but have been reading a lot and putting a lot of time into it.  I have legacy grub loaded on the MBR and use the menu.lst on my openSUSE partition to boot everything.  Because the partitions for some of the distros are so far into the disk I needed to create directories on openSUSE's /boot directory to contain the kernel and initrramfs files (like /boot/fedora).  This seems to work for the other distros.  I did the same thing for Arch.
    So when I installed Arch I haven't used the bootloader section of the installation.
    I'm using the 2011.08.09-netinstall-i686.iso Live CD.
    I tried a few things including:
    1.    changing the HOOKS in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
        a.    adding usb to the "HOOKS"
        b.    removing and adding autodetect
        c.    adding and removing "sata_sil" (although I'm not even sure if my device uses it)
    2.    changing the kernel line:
        a.    from using "UUID=" to (hd0,1) to sdb1.
        b.    added rootdelay=8
    3.    repartition all of my arch partitions using cfdisk from my Live CD and reinstall. I used gparted on OpenSUSE to do it the first time.
    This may be connected. When I fdisk -l from the Arch Live CD I get extra data and an error for each of my arch partitions (and only my arch partitions):
    Disk does't contain a valid partition table
    When I fdisk -l from OpenSUSE I don't get the data paragraphs or errors about the arch partitions?
    Here is my /etc/fstab:
    # /etc/fstab: static file system information
    # <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>

    I'm IN!  Thanks everyone for your suggestions!
    The arch system didn't like the identifier I was using for the root partition. By looking at the /dev/disk/by-id while the arch system was running, I could see what the system wanted me to call the partition.  So after the system error'd-out and I was in the recovery shell at the [ramfs /] prompt:
    # ls -lF /dev/disk/by-id > by-id.txt
    # vi by-id.txt
    I could have used any of the identifiers listed in the by-id (there were 3), by-uuid(1), by-label(1) or by path(1). I tried them all. I had to write these down by hand because it is a ram filesystem.
    The article that finally got me there is:
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pe … ice_naming
    Anyway my openSUSE grub menu.lst ended up like this:
    ####arch on sda10 - legacy grub
    title ARCH

    kernel /boot/arch/vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/510bb601-13c1-46ec-87c0-a800dd2efb8b ro rootdelay=8 rootfstype=ext4
    initrd /boot/arch/initramfs-linux.img

    boot
    It's easy once you: 1. beat your head against the wall
                        2. read further
                3. repeat 1 and 2
    Back to the "Beginner's Guide",4 Post-Installation.  Yikes!

  • [solved] fdisk alignment not sticking on /dev/sda1

    Hey everyone.
    There are several statements that SSDs should be properly aligned.
    So i went ahead and aligned my Intel X25-M following this guide on the OCZ forums.
    After partitioning the SSD with fdisk using proper alignment, i confirmed via 'fdisk -l' and 'fdisk -lu' that the alignment is correct.
    My next step was installing Windows Vista X86_X64, where AS Benchmark again confirmed a proper alignment (128 K as suggested by Theodore Ts'o or 512 K, as suggested in the guide linked above, i tried both).
    However, when i checked with fdisk again to confirm the alignment once more, the alignment for /dev/sda1 seems to have shifted. I also get the message, that partition 2 doesn't end on a cylinder boundary.
    Right now, it should be 32 heads and 32 sectors per track to result in a 512 K alignment. But fdisk shows 255 heads and 63 sectors/track for /dev/sda1, which is, from what i understand, the standard used by linux. The other partitions seem to be just fine.
    I've read that there might be an issue with partition 1 shifting but i also heard it could by avoided by starting partition 1 on cylinder 2 instead of cylinder 1. Unfortunately, that doesn't change anything for me.
    Can anyone tell me what i did wrong?

    You can avoid it by using /dev/sda1 for /boot or swap. You should still start /dev/sda1 in cylinder 2 though.
    Also, remember to adjust the offset of all the logical partitions in expert mode. Otherwise they'd start sector 32 as you can see in the bottom code tags in my first post.

    We upgraded our DEV BI 7.0 system last week from SP12 to SP15 and we experience a problem in some workbooks:
    Whenever I try to refresh or switch to the Design Mode, I get the following errors message:
    BRAIN 627 : Variable "Calendar Month Year Interval" value "2006.01" doesn't exist for Characteristic [0CALMONTH in that InfoSet].
    I found that the OSS note 1111256 corresponds to this issue, but the only solution mentionned is to import SP17.
    Isn't there another way to implement this correction directly before waiting for the SP17 (knowing that even SP16 is not available yet)? This is a big issue for us, as we can't refresh some of our workbooks.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello
    You mean to say that you are encountering this issue only in some workbooks and not all workbooks. Are all these workbooks written on queries on the same infoset?
    See if the mapping in the infoset is causing this issue.
    Hope this helps

  • SAP Web Dispatcher - Object Cert doesn't exist.....?

  • T-code SEGW doesn't exist!!

    Dear Experts,
    I'm trying to access Netweaver Gateway Service Builder ( T-code : segw ) on my IDES but i get an information message that this transaction doesn't exist, but in DEV environment i can found it.
    what should I do to get access to it on my IDES.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hai,
    The netweaver gateway system must be having the required components like IW_FND & GW_CORE. Also a addon is required fir the Gateway builder to work.

  • Nilfs-clean: No cleaner found on /dev/sda1.

    I'm using nilfs2 for my root file system. It seems as if mount.nilfs2 manages to start a cleanerd, because "ps" shows this:
    [root@robot1 /]# ps alx | grep ni[l]
    1 0 222 2 20 0 0 0 nilfs_ S ? 0:03 [segctord]
    4 0 223 1 20 0 14692 864 wq_sle Ss ? 0:00 /sbin/nilfs_cleanerd -n /dev/sda1 /
    [root@robot1 /]# nilfs-clean /dev/sda1
    No cleaner found on /dev/sda1.
    [root@robot1 /]#
    However, as you can see, trying to clean the /dev/sda1 volume doesn't work.
    If, however, I manually start nilfs_cleanerd, then I can clean the volume:
    [root@robot1 /]# /sbin/nilfs_cleanerd
    [root@robot1 /]# nilfs-clean /dev/sda1
    [root@robot1 /]#
    I'd like to understand why the nilfs-clean utility doesn't think that the running, auto-launched nilfs_cleanerd is suitable for cleaning the device.
    I have another post in the server config forum about systemctl for starting a nilfs_cleanerd; that's not what this question is about. This question is specifically: Why doesn't nilfs-clean find the running, seemingly auto-started, nilfs_cleanerd instance?

    Nobody knows about nilfs2 or how to diagnose this problem?

  • Hi when i open my application folder, all the application is shown in trash folder. when i click the application it says this app is in trash first move it out. and when i try to open through finder go it says this file doesn't exist. can some1 plz help?

    hi when i open my application folder, all the application is shown in trash folder. when i click the application it says this app is in trash first move it out. and when i try to open through finder> go it says this file doesn't exist. can some1 plz help? how can i put all my application through application folder?

    Something really odd is going on. In your first screen shot, I noticed that the Applications folder does not have the proper icon displayed in the side bar. Also, in the title bar it lists it as Applications 08-59-29-909.
    Not sure where it's picking up that odd name, unless it's because it's still truly within the Trash folder.
    Try this. In the Finder > Preferences > General > turn on "Always open folders in a new window". (I have a feeling you have the default setting with this off).
    Now, in Finder > Go > move down and open the Applications Folder from there. Now open the folder where you see all your applications that you show in your screen shot, select all, and move them to this true appliactions folder.
    This is what you should properly seeing (but with different apps listed):
    See how the Applications folder has the icon of the letter A shaped with a pencil, ruler & pen.

  • Adding T-code to Role Area Menu which doesn't exist in box

    Hello,
    We are using a SAP system called QIM which has "jumplink" functionality, which is a web based linked (NWBC) which will launch you into a ERP system transaction when clicked. For example, in QIM we will display a outbound delivery, and if we click on the link it launches VL03N from the ERP system and displays as  web UI.
    In PFCG under area menu, this transaction code appears under the menu, but VL03N doesn't actually existing in the system... The issue is we created a custom object for inbound delivery and we need ot add it under this area, but when we attempt to add a transaction code under the Role Area, the system says the t-code doesn't exist... Even when we try this with an existing t-code showing in the menu (Vl03N) it says it doesnt exist. Same if we look at the authorization object S_TCODE. These t-codes exist in here, but when you try to readd them they system says it doesn't exist.
    Please find the attachments with some screen shots... Any idea how we can do this?

    You can create a role menu as remote enabled remote menu.
    The authority checks will happen on the remote side, also against objects which don't exist in the calling system as the music is on the other side.
    On the RFC client system side, you only need the parameter transaction to start the remote transaction in the remote system.
    See the documentation on SYST function module ABAP4_CALL_TRANSACTION.
    This is however a rather antiquated technology... it is more popular to use a SAP Portal or webdynpro applications for this sort of thing (the user does not notice the difference) or later versions of such integration such as Fiori UIs or imbedded links within the Business Client.
    I don't want to lean out the window too far, but the buggy phase of these new things is approaching an end and they are usable if you are on newer releases. Then you can pool the menu and use APIs for navigation and no more irritating S_TCODE checks.
    Cheers,
    Julius

  • How to deauthorize a computer , that doesn't exist anymore?

    I unisnstalled windows , and for some reason when i inserted my ipod to the freshly installed windows+itunes , and logged on my account , iTunes said , that its a new computer and asked me to authorize it , and so i did.
    My question is: how can i deauthorize my old version of windows , that doesn't exist anymore?
    I also have another question in this topic : When i want to buy items from itunes from a new device , it asks for my bank card number , and takes 1-2 dollars from it. Is this ok?

    Take a look at this Apple support article; it may help:
    One computer using multiple iTunes Store authorizations
    When i want to buy items from itunes from a new device , it asks for my bank card number , and takes 1-2 dollars from it. Is this ok?
    I'm not sure what you mean by this. What "items"? If you are referring to music, videos or movies, you get only one download per purchase, so if you buy the items again, whether from another device or the same one, yes, you will be charged again. Only apps allow redownloading without additional charge.
    Regards.

  • Error trying to relate tables "...either doesn't exist or doesn't have a relationship to any table available in the current context"

    I have two tables;
    The first is my Order table which has a single row for each unique order - there are no duplicate order numbers.The order id column here is called
    OrderID.
    The second is my Submissions table which is similar to a transactions table, there are multiple submissions for every order. This table also contains an
    OrderID column that contains the relevant OrderID.
    The submission table also contains a calculated field called Date and a calculated field called
    MaxDate field which is the date of the most recent submission that relates to any particular order in cases where there are multipple.
    My goal is to add a column to the Order table this MaxDate column. The reason for duplicating the information rather than linking the tables is because I need to create more calculated columns in the
    Orders table based on this value.
    I have created a relationship between the two tables however when I use:
    =RELATED(Submissions[MaxDate]
    I get this error:
    "...either doesn't exist or doesn't have a relationship to any table available in the current context"
    I don't really understand why this would be, because MaxDate definitely exists and contains only numerical values. What is more strange is that if I try and combine the data through a pivot table it actually works! I can create a pivot with OrderID in the first
    column and then associate it with MaxDate from the Submissions
    table as the value. 
    Can anyone help me understand what is the problem here?
    P.S. if it is useful the formula I'm using to calculate the MaxDate is:
    =MAXX(FILTER(Submissions,Submissions[OrderID] = EARLIER(Submissions[OrderID])),[Date])
    Thanks.

    Maracles, is this still an issue?
    Thanks!
