Error: Waiting for /dev/sda1 for 10 seconds...

Hi,
I upgraded this morning to the following:
- mkinitcpio 0.13.0-1
- linux-lts 3.0.67-1
Now the server won't reboot, it always says "Waiting for /dev/sda1 for 10 seconds..." in the initramfs shell.
Indeed there is no /dev/sd* in /dev, or even /dev/disk-by* to try and boot using the UUID.
Since it's a remote server, it's hard to debug. Hopefully no critical service is running on it.
The default linux 3.7.9-2 gives the same error.
I managed to get it back on line using the fallback initrd: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … onger_boot
I also tried to reinstall udev,linux-lts, systemd and mkinitcpio as advised but the /dev/sda1 error was still there.
My mkinitcpio.conf:
MODULES=""
BINARIES=""
FILES=""
HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block filesystems keyboard fsck"
# no compression
Nothing fancy, no RAID, no LVM, not even /boot on a separate partition:
- /dev/sda1 on /
- /dev/sda2 on /home
- /dev/sda3 as swap
For the rest, the system is up to date, no dandling *.pacnew, I never forced any package installation.
I didn't find a similar problem here or using Google.
The topic https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=158300 is not the same problem and it didn't help me.
I have two simple questions:
- what happened?
- how can I know it will be safe again to reboot using the regular initrd image?
Thanks for any clue.

Up, I see an update to linux-lts-3.0.68-1.
Thanks!

    Hello Satish
    Please do following checklist:
    1. Check that the J2EE engine is up and running (e.g. log in with Admin)
    2. Check that the following application is running:
         Visual Admin => Cluster => Server => Services => Deploy
         Select "Application" and look for "sap.com/tclmctcutilbasic_ear
    3. Try to continue installation
    It could be helpful to apply the patch for CTC as per note # 938261
    before restarting.
    and also try to add more memory allocation.
    If issue persists,
    - I'd like to know which installation DVD/CD number being using ?
    - The contents of the LABEL.ASC file.
    - The installation guide reference and title used for this install ?
    - SAPINST version ?
    - Oracle version/patch level ?
    - Operating system version/patch level ?

  • COMMIT WORK and WAIT FOR n SECONDS

    I am designing a WebDynpro Java application.  It makes an update call followed immediately by a display call which should return the data that was just updated.  However, it appears that there is some DB latency involved and the data takes a few seconds to update.  The application displays old data if the display call is performed too quickly after the update call.
    All suggestions I could find point to having a Thread sleep on the Java side for a few seconds or have a WAIT FOR n SECONDS and/or COMMIT WORK AND WAIT statement in the ABAP function module.  Neither of these solutions is acceptable in a company-wide application where database latency could vary significantly based on traffic.
    I tried all kinds of functions (i.e. BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT) as well as various forms of COMMIT WORK... nothing except a WAIT works correctly.  There must be a statement out there that waits for the database write to be complete!  How is this solved without picking an arbitrary WAIT time?  What am I missing?
    Thanks in advance!

    You can write the other way.
    declare one variable
    data : wa_try type i.
    wa_try = 10. -> set as 10 ,even you do not get value ,keep on incresing.
    after BAPI FM
    you can call comitt fm.
    after BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMITT
    just use simple logic.
    do wa_try.
    select * from table into table
                                  where record = bapi fm record ( You get in RET2 Message).
    if sy-subrc eq 0.
    exit.
    endif.
    Thanks

    Re: My iMessage still says "Waiting for activation..." Jun 17, 2012 10:04 PM (in response to bradfromwinnipeg)
    Hi All,
    This problem is solved for me, with some help from the carriers. At last
    Let me describe my situation once again.
    I am from India, where the official iPhone carriers are Airtel and Aircel.
    I have two prepaid connections - One from Airtel and one from Reliance GSM
    Whenever I try to activate iMessage from my Reliace SIM, it shows activation unsuccessful, the the receive at shows my email ID only.
    But whenever I try activate it using Airtel SIM, it activates just fine. But since my primary connection is the Reliance one, I wanted it to get activated for Reliance.
    I have tried every tweaks/restore etc mentioned in this discussion, but nothing worked.
    The solution:
    This does not require any jailbreak/restore. Just a little help from the carrier.
    For all reliance GSM customers in India, you can just try to activate in again. I think they have solved it for all customers.
    I was almost lost hope of activating imeesage on Reliance. But then one of my friends bought a new iphone (4S). He had a docomo connection, and he also had this same issue. But using his contacts in docomo, he enabled some trace in his connection, and found out that the phone was trying to send SMS to a UK number (short code), which is blocked by their RA team.
    This is that magic number : 00445773142076
    So from him, I got the number. I raised a complaint with Reliance.
    The complaint had nothing about imessage, but it said: "I am unable to send international SMS to the number 00445773142076, even after having sufficient balance and an active SMS plan"
    So they have done some 'unblocking'  and called me this morning and asked to try again 'sending sms to the same number' . I went to settings and activated imessage and facetime/ Thats it !!!!.
    A big thanks to Reliance GSM support for the quick solution.
    For anyone on Reliance GSM in India, just try activating it now.
    For others, log a complaint with the carrier that "you want to send SMS to the number 00445773142076.
    Thanks all

  • Why do I get a black screen telling me to wait for 40 seconds and then to 'skip ad'?

    I installed a Firefox update and since then, when I try to connect to a website, I almost always get a black screen telling me to wait for 40 seconds and then to 'skip ad'. This is very irritating and a waste of time. There are no ads to skip. Why is this happening and how can I stop it?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Always need Disconnect power, press the power button wait for 10 seconds...

    Disconnect everything from the computer, including the power cord.

  • Wait for x seconds

    I just wish the video to wait for 3 seconds before starting,
    what action script command should I use?
    Thanks,
    Dario

    OK, the word video is confusing. I just wish to use as2 oe
    as3 (whichever is the best).
    I want the timeline to hold itself for 3 seconds and after
    that start the usual play. I am not loading a video, I am using the
    word video to refer to the normal execution of the .swf file by the
    flasf player.
    So, with this new data can you tell me how to tell the flasf
    player to wait 3 seconds before playing the .swf file? thanks.

    Go to $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin and read the header:
      --  DESCRIPTION
      --    These routines allow the user to request, convert and release locks.Granting privileges on USER_LOCK is, at least according to the docs I've read, intended to limit the amount of damage a user with execute privs can do.
    You can, of course, find SLEEP in four different Oracle packages:
    * dbms_backup_restore
    * dbms_drs
    * dbms_lock
    * user_lock -- note the granularity is different from dbms_lock and the othersI have documented all of them here:
    http://www.morganslibrary.org/reference/sleep.html
    I think people point those that ask questions to DBMS_LOCK only because it is the one best known.

    hi Thanks for your reply.Right from the morning I been debugging this.
    now i found the solution. when QA folks deploy on their server,they will run some ant scripts to modify the jar which is developed in dev Env and their ant scripts are not modifying the jndi names for one of the wsdls.
    hence its working for the 1st Db call and not working for the 2nd.
    Thanks,
    Narasimha.

  • Minibridge Error - Waiting for Bridge CS6

    Hi,
    Is there a permanant fix for Minibridge not working in PS CS6? I now continually get the message 'Waiting for Bridge CS6...". I am able  run full Bridge, and I still get the same message whether full Bridge is running or not.
    I had this problem recently and found a fix involving deleteing the Switchboard folder which worked for a while but the error has returned and repeating the fix no longer works.

    Mr. Bimg,
    Brett is good and has been helpful to me, but Adobe is clueless as to what is causing this problem. I have been working with them on this problem since November and it has not been resolved. The last message I had was the following email from Brett. 
    Hello Joe,
    I¹ve tried enlisting the help of our Bridge engineers to get to the
    bottom of this issue. Good news, bad news of it is they are too busy to
    help us directly because they are working on an update. For now, keep an
    out for this update and we¹ll see if it resolves the issue. We don¹t have
    a release date yet, so I can¹t say when exactly we¹ll see this. For now,
    I¹m going to close the case (#185096122), but we can revisit and reopen it
    once the update is complete or we can get our engineers to help us out
    directly.
    Regards,

  • Can a BPEL process wait for a second web service call

    Hi,
    My BPEL process is an asynchronous process, so the first web service call kicks off an instance of the process.
    what i want is somewhere down in the process i can put a "receive" shape to pause the process and wait for another web service call to come in, once the "receive" shape gets the second web service call, the process continues on.
    Is that a valid thing to do on BPEL?
    i don't seem to be able to get it working.
    i could change the WSDL for the BPEL process to publish two operations, the default "initiate" and another one called "continue", they both accept the same type of request message.
    but when i test it, the BPEL process just can't accept message at the second operation, it always creates a new instance to handle the web service calls, even when the call is targeting "continue" operation.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!

    I was just about to give up after the last post but then the "pick" shape hit my eye somehow ("thank God", that's all i can say)
    and it did the trick, the "pick" shape can wait for an incoming call from a partner link.
    so what i can achieve is this,
    the first web service call sends some thing like
    <Root><CorrelationId>1</CorrelationId><Content>first name</Content></Root>
    on the "initiate" operation, just like calling an "initiate" method in java code
    the BPEL instance gets initiated, reaches the "pick" shape and stops
    then a second web service call comes in as
    <Root><CorrelationId>1</CorrelationId><Content>last name</Content></Root>
    on the "continue" operation, again just like calling a "continue" method
    it works!

    What are you backing-up to? That message indicates it may not be fully compatible with Time Machine.
    If you've done everything in #D2, and it's a NAS, check with the maker. They may have updates or other troubleshooting info. Or it may be a hardware problem.

  • Cannot not log on without a Waring: Unresponsive Script notice. This is not acceptable as I have to wait for it to open, close it and wait for a second notice of error.

    I up graded last week and now I get a warning notice of unresponsive script followed by a second notice of type error every time I try to open FireFox and other websites through FireFox. This is causing me delays I cannot not afford. How to I correct this? I would like to keep using FireFox but cannot if this isn't corrected ASAP. Below is not the notice I receive.

    Hi Corel
    Thank you for your reply
    However I need the lower case version for some sites and the upper case version for the site in question? To make matters worse this site does not allow you to change your log on name unless it is in the form of an e-mail address
    So what I need is Kostas for this site and kostas saved for other sites and allow me to choose which one I want to use
    How do I do this please
    I have no bother with this on Win Internet Explorer but I like Firefox
    Mind it may be as simple as deleting The appropriate entry and resetting with Kostas instead of kostas?
    But I would appreciate knowing the correct solution from an expert
