"/dev/sr0: no medium found" and the boot log
Hi.
On boot I see the message
failed to open /dev/sr0: no medium found
Some say that I need to disable floppy, but I didn't find if that's true and how.
No such option in BIOS. And I blacklisted the module.
Also, I wonder where is the boot log.
Some say that these messages are in dmesg, but that is not true
dmesg | grep /dev/sr0
is empty.
My log folder
ls -1 /var/log
Xorg.0.log
Xorg.0.log.old
btmp
cups
faillog
journal
kdm.log
lastlog

pacman.log

The logs are nowadays in the journalctl - see the wiki and the man page.
Post your /etc/fstab.
Thanks man, but
journalctl | grep /dev/sr0
Is empty as well.
The fstab contains only root and home.

Mkinitcpio to build Initial RAM Disk: error: /dev/sr0: No medium found
Prior to using mkinitcpio-busybox 1.15.3-5, building an Initial RAM Disk for my custom kernel resulted in no error messages.
Using mkinitcpio-busybox 1.15.3-5, I ran and got:
[root@Galicja linux-2.6.33.1]# mkinitcpio -k 2.6.33.1-ARCHMOD -g /boot/kernel26-2.6.33.1-ARCHMOD.img
:: Begin build
:: Parsing hook [base]
:: Parsing hook [udev]
:: Parsing hook [autodetect]
error: /dev/sr0: No medium found
:: Parsing hook [pata]
:: Parsing hook [scsi]
:: Parsing hook [sata]
:: Parsing hook [filesystems]
:: Generating module dependencies
:: Generating image '/boot/kernel26-2.6.33.1-ARCHMOD.img'...SUCCESS
However, using this Initial RAM Disk in menu.lst for booting into my new kernel worked fine (as before when I wasn't using mkinitcpio-busybox) without any crashes, panics, or errors.
Should the message "error: /dev/sr0: No medium found" refer to a 'warning' instead of an error? What can I do to avoid this message (adjust any hooks or modules in mkinitcpio.conf)?
Note: /dev/sr0 refers to my Optical Block Device (CdRom).
Here are the contents of my mkinitcpio.conf file:
# vim:set ft=sh
# MODULES
# The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
# run. Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
# in this array. For instance:
# MODULES="piix ide_disk reiserfs"
MODULES=""
# BINARIES
# This setting includes, into the CPIO image, and additional
# binaries a given user may wish. This is run first, so may
# be used to override the actual binaries used in a given hook.
# (Existing files are NOT overwritten is already added)
# BINARIES are dependancy parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
BINARIES=""
# FILES
# This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
# as-is and are not parsed in anyway. This is useful for config files.
# Some users may wish to include modprobe.conf for custom module options,
# like so:
# FILES="/etc/modprobe.conf"
FILES=""
# HOOKS
# This is the most important setting in this file. The HOOKS control the
# modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
# Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
# order in which HOOKS are added. Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for
# help on a given hook.
# 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
# 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
# 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
# Examples:
# This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
# No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
# HOOKS="base"
# This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
# work as a sane default
# HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata filesystems"
# This is identical to the above, except the old ide subsystem is
# used for IDE devices instead of the new pata subsystem.
# HOOKS="base udev autodetect ide scsi sata filesystems"
# This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
# No autodetection is done.
# HOOKS="base udev pata scsi sata usb filesystems"
# This setup assembles an pata raid array with an encrypted root FS.
# Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H raid' for more information on raid devices.
# HOOKS="base udev pata raid encrypt filesystems"
# This setup loads an lvm2 volume group on a usb device.
# HOOKS="base udev usb lvm2 filesystems"
HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata filesystems"
# COMPRESSION
# Use this to compress the initramfs image. With kernels earlier than
# 2.6.30, only gzip is supported, which is also the default. Newer kernels
# support gzip, bzip2 and lzma.
#COMPRESSION="gzip"
#COMPRESSION="bzip2"
#COMPRESSION="lzma"Got the exact same error here. Did not get it before said changes to mkinitcpio (busybox).
However, there are some things I did not quite understand:
djgera: "(don't worry, is not an issue)"
By that you mean that it is not a bug or that it is not going to give the system any troubles?
.:B:. :"I don't see how the error message is 'misleading'? Do you mean you do have an optical drive while the script doesn't seem to pick it up?"
Do you mean that if I have an optical drive then I should not be getting this error? 'Cause I've got one and the error always appears to me. Or should I be getting the error output even though I have an optical device? If that is so, then in that sense I think said error message is potentially misleading for if it is an initrd-related error, then something is not going to work well on my Initial Ram Disk. I mean, by errors I understand that certain things will not be working well or mainly not working at all. If that is not the case, then I don't see why the output is given as an error. Thanks for the attention.

Not clearable : 1 distinct types of ORA- errors have been found in the alert log.
( Correct me if I'm wrong.)
What could be the reason for the fact that the event "1 distinct types of ORA- errors have been found in the alert log." is not clearable?
Even if the problem is solved, the ORA- error will still be in the alert.log.
Therefore the event would eventually only disappear after 7 days.
Doesn't sound very logical to me.- The event page showing a warning event for "Generic Alert Log Error Status" metric,
- "Generic Alert Log Error Status" event is a statefull metric,
- On each evaluation of the metric defined as 'Statefull', the Cloud Control Agent recalculates the severity,
- This means, EM Agent scans the alert log for ORA errors, "Generic Alert Log Error Status" will return the number of ORA error found,
- Whenever the returned number is grater than the assigned thresholds of "Generic Alert Log Error Status", an alert is raised on EM console,
- On the next scan of alert log file, this alert will be cleared ONLY if the collected value is less than the assigned threshold,
- By checking your system, the warning threshold of "Generic Alert Log Error Status" is 0, so whenever a single ORA error is found in alert log, a warning event will be raised and you will not be able to clear it manually as this is a stateful metric.
There are three cases where this alert can be cleared:
1. The agent found 0 ORA errors in Alert log, then the alert will be cleared automatically
2. Manual clear: By disabling/enabling the metric
3. Manual clear and further not receiving similar alerts frequently: By assigning higher thresholds values
So, I suggest to disable the metric, then, enable it after some time as follows as follows:
- Go to the problematic database home page >> open the 'Oracle Database' drop-down menu >> 'Monitoring' >> 'Metric and Collection Settings',
- Choose 'All metrics' from the 'View' drop-down list >> search for the 'Generic Alert Log Error Status' metric,
- Click the pencil icon under 'Edit' column opposite to the above metric >> remove the Warning Threshold (make it empty) >> 'Continue' >> 'OK'.
- Wait for the next collection schedule in order for the warning events to be cleared, then, enable the metric again with the same steps (setting Warning Threshold=0).

Basically all in the title. Also, some additional info: partition was 115 GBs for Windows, 385 or whatever for OSX (I have a 500 GB Harddrive), I have tried restarting multiple times, and the drive will recognize the DVD, but almost as if the DVD is blank, as it asks me to format it or drag files to it, etc.
Hold your "Option" key down while starting your machine. Continue to hold it down until you are presented with the boot menu which should allow you to select either OS X or Windows (provided you didn't somehow wipe your OS X partition). When you get into OS X, you can go to System Preferences / Startup Disk. Here you can select the default startup partition (OS X or Windows)... when you're installing Windows via BootCamp, it gets changed to Windows so when you finish setting up BootCamp, it automatically reboots and launches the Windows installer. Installing all of the Windows drivers from the OS X DVD should provide you with a Startup Disk option under Windows as well.

"Disk not found" and "No boot device found"
Please share any knowledge that may help in overcoming this problem. Installing Solaris 7 on Dell Precision 620, 933 Mhz, PIII. At the point where all systems seem about ready to go in completing interactive install, it comes back with "Disk not Found". A friend tried to help with his limited knowldeg from having loaded Solaris software before, but was unable to ascertain the problem. set_ environment command was not recognized. If its any help the boot path read: /pci@o,o/pci_ide@1f,1/ide@1/sd@o,o : boot args kernel/unix_-r
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Ken Hunter [email protected] (540) 657-4511 x364Hi ,
I have not faced this problem on solaris 7 however I did face a problem similar to this on Solaris 8. I made a small dos partition and made it active and then started the solaris 8 installation which then went through fine.
Hope that helps.

I plugged in my airport express to my modem and my phone and iPad are both showing no base found. The yellow light is blinking on the base
I didn't realize you had to create a network name from your computer first I thought it was all done from the airport icon. Once I setup the network from settings on my phone it worked great. Thank you for your fast reply! :)

"..no bootable device insert boot disk and press any key", i restarted my mac and held options and managed to log in to my OS x again but my windows wasn't installed and when i held options while my mac was starting the usb flash drive wasn't there, what should i do? Also can i restore my usb flash drive to use it as a regular flash drive again?
Hi Michael!
Yep, I did get this running. Not in a normal way (meaning the easy way). What I did, is that I just created the BOOTCAMP partition in OS X. Just let it format and create the partition where you would install BOOTCAMP.
After that I discovered that via a ISO program (WinClone) you can directly restore a previously created OS X boot image to your current computer. So, I installed a blank Windows 7 to my macbook pro, didint install any drivers and just let it work up then. Then I went back to os X (in macbook pro) and made a bootimage for the BOOTCAMP partition. After that I saved it to my external harddrive and wired it to my iMac. In iMac I just downloaded the same boot-image program and restored the bootimage that I made in Macbook Pro to iMac. After that I made an restart and the bootcamp section with windows worked well with my iMac. Install the bootcamp soft and you can do everything and everything works. FYI, you get the windows working via those steps, BUT if you either delete or do anything to make your bootcamp partition unworkable then you will have to repeat those steps again. But it´s fast non-the-less, so it shouldn´t be a problem for you.
If you didin´t understand anything or something doesen´t add up, send me a letter or a notification.
Hope this helps.

Exception ID is not found in the trace logs
Hi,
We are intermittently seeing the below error exception message appear at the top of the Portal. It was a lot more prevalent during our benefits open enrollment period Nov 1 through Nov 30. It happened almost every day during that time. Now it is happening intermittently. The exception ID is never found in any trace or log files anywhere under the SAP directory. The only way to clear it is to bounce the portal.
The exception error message:
An exception occurred while processing a request for :
iView : pcd:portal_content/every_user/general/defaultDesktop/frameworkPages/frameworkpage/com.sap.portal.toolAreaiView
Component Name : com.sap.portal.navigation.toolarea.default
The exception was logged. Inform your system administrator..
Exception id: 03:06_20/11/07_0393_19024350
See the details for the exception ID in the log file
Portal Runtime Error
When you do a text search for 19024350 in all files under the SAP directory nothing is found.
Does anyone have any ideas on this? I have an open OSS, but without finding the exception ID in the logs, it is virtually impossible to resolve.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Regards,
RickHi Rick,
I had this several times. Please stop the J2EE delete (backup if you want) all default.trc files from the log directory and the start the J2EE.
Upon start, the default.trc files will be newly created and you will be able to find all exceptions created after this new start.
My personal explanation to this behaviour is this: At certain circumstances (many large .trc files in the log directory) the logger does not properly write all exceptions to the log file... After removing the log files, the logger works fine again..
Best Regards,

EDI processing and the application log
All,
It is my understanding that when an EDI message is processed if there is more than one error the errors will be put in the application log. If only one error it is not placed in the application log.
Does any one have any ideas why on occassion if there is one error the process will put it in the application log?
Thanks
SandraWe discovered that if the idoc has several line item segments and they all have the same error that results in the error count being greater than one. So the process will put the error on the application log - but it does not repeat the same error so it looks like it was only one error when in fact it was several. For example:
the idoc has 3 line items all for GRbasedIV where the delivery is not done.
the idoc process will identify 3 errors (1 per line item missing a delivery)
the process will put the errors on the application log because the error count is greater than 1
because the error is the same only one of the 3 errors shows up on the application log.
Regards,

SFTP and the FTP Log - DW MX2004
Can anyone tell me why DW MX2004's FTP Log just records blank
lines when using SFTP? Is there a way to change this and do later
versions do the same thing?
Thanks!Folks:
Problem solved.
It's clear that FTP and SFTP are fundamentally different protocols, but the DW protocol selection strongly implies similarity by offering SFTP as a minor option under the main selection of FTP. I think it would be much clearer if SFTP were offered as a major option -- and then there would be an opportunity for offering SFTP options, too.
Here's a way of distinguishing which of these two is active: Connecting to the target site using FTP results in a succession of text entries in the optionally viewable FTP log -- no surprise. I discovered that connecting to the same site with the same credentials and the addition of checking the "Use SFTP" option results in only line feeds --scrolling, but no visible text-- in the FTP log window. I guess that's a reasonable though a bit indirect way of informing users that the link is active and secure. (What does one do to diagnose problems with SFTP for hosting services that don't support FTP? I don't know there are such services but it should be the great majority of them.) Works in DW CS3 but I didn't check CS5.
Another option, untested but fairly obvious: It's fairly easy these days to control host s/w (personal) firewalls -- even for low-tech users. Establish and verify a link to your server using SFTP, then disable FTP; the link should fail. And vice-versa. This meets my specification of "simple" and should be available with no extra expense and little trouble.
Brief Editorial: From the recent reading I've done on FTP versus SFTP, it is clear that the time to discontinue all support for FTP is long past.

Content Enrichment Service and the Crawl Log
Hi,
I am wondering if there's a possibility to inject custom error details from the content enrichment service into the crawl log? If an item fails processing in the CEWS the crawl log shows
The item failed due to an error occurring when sending or receiving data to the external content processing
enrichment web service.
I would like to place my own custom error message depending on what went wrong during CEWS processing. How Can I do that?If you look in the ULS logs you should see something like this:
Flows: [Microsoft.CrawlerFlow-6de14b76-2720-4b71-8dc9-3a06eb04f1f5] Evaluation Error: ContentProcessingEnrichmentClientEvaluator Microsoft.Ceres.Evaluation.DataModel.EvaluationException: The content processing enrichment service returned error code 9.
Where in this case I sent back the error code of '9' via the ProcessedItem.ErrorCode, you need to send back different error codes depending on what went wrong in your CEWS. You define what the codes mean.
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.office.server.search.contentprocessingenrichment.processeditem.errorcode.aspx
Gets or sets an optional error Id. It is up to the implementer to define errors. The default value of is 0, meaning no error.
I don't think you can send a message back, just an error code:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.office.server.search.contentprocessingenrichment.processeditem_members.aspx
In the crawl logs I don't even see this error code!, all I see are these:
The item failed due to an error occurring when sending or receiving data to the external content processing enrichment web service. ( Failed to process the results returned by the content processing enrichment service.; ; SearchID = 7FB263D8-5B9B-446E-A140-78B07CC77B00
What I recommend you instead do is catch exception messages in your code and log them some other way... -
Hello there,
i have a general question. I am about to integrate idocs into an interface managing program and i wanted to know if idocs are known to use the application log for writing (error) messages.
I know they have the possiblity to do so, but i do not know if this is frequently used or even used at all. At least it is not on my system.
Thanks in advance for your answers.
Kind regards
Jonas Liebstückelno, I am thinking this has to do with the IDOC-type - either you can flag the use of the application log somewhere in the IDOC-configuration or the processing funciton modules are doing it. I would have to dig around to find out, but so can you: just check along the WE* with MATMAS and look at the function modules that are behind the processing code ... WE41

Mac pro goes to sleep and the error log say "The smart launch will be terminated"
Several times in the last few days my Mac Pro early 2008 has locked up. This occures when leave the machine and come back to it. I see the screen is black and the only thing that I see after clicking the mouse and pressing keys on the keyboard, is the white outline of the curser that will move across the screen. Nothing will bring the system back and my only option is to hold down the power button until the unit shuts down.
I checked the logs in the console and the error message that I see is: mm/dd/yy 9:49:17.719 AM SmartLaunch[31448]: The SmartLaunch will be terminated.
Any clue where I should start looking?
Steve OrnatThat is a great idea to check the memory temperture. Do they have built in temperture senors and then is there a terminal command to run to check that? Also how do I change the speed of the fans, again a terminal command?
I was mistaken, I bought 4- 4GB memory modules, with heatsinks. (8GB were tooooo expensive) It should be good memory but certainly I wonder as this never happened before the new memory was added, 5 or 6 weeks ago.
My memory config is:
2 - 1 GB (orginal whe n I got the sytem)
2 - 2 GB added 1 year ago from OWC
4 - 4 GB added 6 weeks ago from ??
Good suggetions about the hard drive. I did add a new Seagate 3TB drive a year ago when I got this machine, and I use it for all my data stoage and tunes and pixs and only use the 250GB dirve of OS and apps. I have not installed the OS and apps on the 3TB drive and that would be an easy thing to do.
