Thank you, exactly what I needed.
Can be two things:
Grub specified the wrong root file system in menu.lst.
Try appending root=/dev/sda? to the grub boot command for arch (Replace ? with your arch root partition)  If that fixes it,  it was menu.lst in Ubuntu that broke it.
Second posibility: Grub did not specify the correct initrd image for arch.
Try specifying initrd as /boot/kernel26.img to the Grub boot configuration for arch.
It can also be both, then specify both,  I doubt it and suspect the second scenario.
This should get you booted after fiddling a bit.  Please re-run grub-install from the arch instance.
This site gives detailed instructions on how to make grub fly:
http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux- … -grub.html
Good luck.  I hope this fixes it for you.

    Help!!! Brand new MBP with Santa Rosa Kernel Panics when started with external HD firewire 800 after 20 sec...
    I don't know what it could be???
    Do you???
    Thanx
    Jay

    I'm actually having a similar issue and I don't think its related to networking at all.
    I'm currently working in a corporate environment where we deploy pre-built OS X images to machines. I recently upgraded my images to 10.4.10 before we got our first Santa Rosa machine. This image was built on a MacPro and worked on all Intel Macs down to a MacMini CoreSolo. When I deployed my prebuilt image to the SR MBP, it caused a kernel panic immediately.
    Further investigation revealed previous builds of OS X, including 10.4.10 upgraded from any other model Intel Mac will kernel panic the SR MBP. Going backwards the SR Build of OSX will not work on any previous model Mac, as any other build typically does, but causes severe graphical distortion, as if it does not have the display drivers for the other Macs.
    To make a long story short, I think your issue comes from the fact that your external hard drive has an older build of OS X 10.4 than the SR MBP will run (even though you may have upgraded it to 10.4.10). Anyone who can corroborate my story with some more testing, please chime in.
    I haven't found a solution for this issue yet other than keeping a seperate Santa Rosa Core 2 Duo image for my deployments.

  • Disk order changes, grub problem, filesystem check failed

    I'm having some problems installing Archlinux onto a machine with a lot of SATA drives, some connected by SATA cards. I have tried the 2009-08 netinstaller burned to CD, both -x86_64.iso and -x86_64-isolinux.iso, and I have the same problem with both.
    I am installing from a USB-connect optical drive to an Intel X25-M 80GB SSD connected to a motherboard SATA port. I also have 2 HDDs connected to motherboard SATA ports, and 4 more HDDs connected to 4 SIL-based PCIe SATA cards. Additionally, I have a 4GB Patriot USB flash drive connected to a motherboard USB port. None of the HDDs have a bootable MBR, I am planning to create an mdadm RAID with the HDDs, but the USB flash drive is bootable. The motherboard is an Asus Z8PE-D18 with the latest BIOS, in AHCI mode.
    First thing to note is that I was able to successfully install Fedora 12 linux to this machine in the exact configuration that I am trying to install Archlinux. I just installed Fedora 12 again last night, and it installed and loaded fine when I rebooted from the SSD.
    So, the problems I am having with Archlinux. During install, I found that the SSD is showing up as either /dev/sde or /dev/sdf. This is odd since it was /dev/sda with Fedora. It makes sense for it to be /dev/sda, since it is on the first motherboard SATA port. But I proceeded with the Archlinux install, and grub seemed to detect the stage1 location properly -- root was set to (hda4,0) or (hda5,0) depending on whether the SSD was at sde or sdf. The kernel root was configured by UUID, so that does not depend on the drive order. Okay so far.
    The problem shows up on reboot. The bootloader immediately complains that there is no such partition sde1 or sdf1. I drop into a grub command line and do
    find /boot/grub/stage1
    and it replies with (hd0,0), so I modify the boot line to root (hd0,0) and boot. Now it gets pretty far. Lots of boot messages scroll by. Here are some of the last few before the problem:
    Waiting 10 seconds for device /dev/disk/by-uuid/22a35aa2-9799-4575-b1eb-456e819a1a26 ...

    The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2

    is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock
    **** FILESYSTEM CHECK FAILED
    * Please repair manually and reboot. Note that the root file system
    * is currently mounted read-only....
    Give root password for maintenance
    So I logged in as root and did an fdisk -l. The boot SSD was at /dev/sde. The menu.lst has root as (hd5,0), which would be sdf (which was correct during installation, but the disk order apparently changed). The kernel root= in menu.lst used by-uuid, and it at least points to the correct drive, which I suppose is why I was able to boot as far as I did, but when it tries to mount the root filesystem, it fails as shown above.
    So, at initial grub boot, the grub stage1 is found at (hd0,0). During installation, the SSD was sdf, but after booting the kernel, the SSD is sde. What is going on?
    One other experiment  is that I pulled all the drives (including USB flash drive) except the SSD. The HDDs are in hot-swap slots, so that was easy. The PCIe SATA cards are still plugged into the PCIe slots. Then I was able to successfully install and boot Archlinux. But when I plugged the drives back in and rebooted, I had the same problem as detailed above.
    Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    I had the same problem.
    Last week I installed Arch onto a new SATA HD. I wanted to make sure the installation worked before I attached the other drives. On booting with the other drives attached, similar messages.
    My solution:
    Login as root.
    Follow the instruction to mount / as read-write so you can make changes to the filesystem.
    edit /etc/fstab and eliminate the references to /dev/sdxx and replace them with UUIDs or labels (as suggested above) as these won't change.
    in /etc/fstab ...
    # external data sources
    #data /dev/sdb6
    UUID=931d7107-1241-4d82-ad28-fcbe7af8ba69 /data ext3 defaults 0 0
    #Documents /dev/sda9
    /dev/disk/by-label/Documents /data/Documents ext3 defaults 0 0
    Reboot and you should be good.
    You can find the UUID of the drives by using
    $ blkid
    or you can set a drive label with e2label, assuming you are using ext2,3 or 4
    Good luck.

    I just realized that now the file system error happens before udev has even started and then it drops me into maintenence mode... I can't do e2fsck or mkfs.ext3 -n /dev/sda7 because the corresponding device node doesn't exist yet... The only nodes were console, null, and a third one but I forget...
    My grub and fstab seem to be correct (I just verified and they worked before)... Any help please (having the /dev/sda7 node would be nice as I can't do anything without it)? I'm using an Intel chipset and I've tried various combinations of pata/ide/piix/etc in my mkinitcpio.conf (and generated the images of course)...
    I'm still searching through gentoo forums (I've tried everything I could find in arch forums) -- The partition seems also to be intact as it is accessible to me with livecd (I even chrooted and pacman -Syu) and through ext2ifs w/ vi on my Windows 2003 partition...

  • [Solved (initscripts-splash plroblem)] Filesystem check failed

    Hello, my arch i686 sudently doesn't boot.
    At system start, after loading kernel, the boot process stops and says "FILESYSTEM CHECK FAILED" give root password for maintenance or control+D for restart.
    My root partition (dev/sda2) is reiserfs formated, and arch updated this week.
    After reading a while I booted with Arch install CD and tried the follwing:
    fsck.reiserfs --check /dev/sda2
    fsck.reiserfs --fix-fixable /dev/sda2
    fsck.reiserfs --rebuild-sb /dev/sda2
    fsck.reiserfs --clean-attributes /dev/sda2
    But no errors were found or fixed, so I can't boot arch yet.
    Are there any other way to fix the filesystem?
    can filesystem check be skipped?
    please help

    Or start in sinle-user. At the grub boot menu, select the option that lets you edit the kernel parameters.
    Add either a '1' or 'single' to the end of the kernel parameters, then continue booting up.

    of course I know where I installled Arch.

    I don't think installing a year old initscripts package would solve it, but you were very helpful.
    Finally I could solve it with the recovery console:
    After the error message I typed root password to log in, then remounted root partition for r/w:

  • Filesystem check failed + accidental /boot deletion

    Yesterday I rebooted my PC and suddenly Arch started complaining about "Filesystem check failed", just like stated by the OP in this thread https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 00#p941200
    The problem was with two partitions: /boot and /home. I tried to no avail to manually fsck them using the maintenance console and e2fsck as well as the forcefsck command but it didn't work.
    I didn't try any LiveCD back then but since I saw that in that thread the OP solved his problem by deleting some folders located at /media:
    Fixed the problem.
    The /dev/sda2 and /dev/sda5 were being mounted in the wrong place.
    Instead of being mounted in /home and /boot as per /etc/fstab, they were being mounted in new directories in /media called /media/usbhd-sda2 and /media/usbhd-sda5. Upon deleting those folders, everything has gone back to normal.
    I have no idea how those new folders got created...but problem solved now.
    Thanks for the help, guys
    Samsom
    Problem is I didn't think at all when I read this post and went right away to delete the problematic folders (the post itself didn't exactly explain how the OP managed to unmount the partitions and then proceed to delete the folders, my umount commands didn't work so it wasn't crystal clear to me how he managed it, my bad tho for not checking what I was deleting).
    Luckily, I think I only managed to delete partially my /boot folder (thus GRUB now complains and doesn't boot any system). So now my question is, is there a way to restore my /boot folder without a full system re-install?
    Thanks in advance.

    But what is the command?  mkinitcpio -p kernel26 ? Also how do I fix this grub issue? I'm assuming grub created a default menu.lst after I copied the config files and setup the hd0 but I actually don't recall checking that.
    Just re-did all steps including rebuilding the kernel, I still can't get the boot menu when I reboot. It goes directly to grub console.
    I checked the generated menu.lst, it lists my root as the device where /boot partition is and the kernel line root enrty is defined for the arch system I want to boot :\

    I just installed Arch on my Asus EEE 701SD. Since GRUB is extremely slow (takes about 30-45 seconds from "loading..." to menu) I've set up my /boot on a separate flash drive. However, booting the new installation gives me the "FILESYSTEM CHECK FAILED" + maintenance shell. I've tried running fsck with various options but none of it has helped. Apparently, the partition is clean so I'm not quite sure what's going on. Any suggestions?
    Cheers:)

    The hook "usb" should work too, so I don't think we're on the right track here. But since it doesn't hurt you can add the actual kernel modules to the modules= line:
    usbcore ehci-hcd (and/or uhci-hcd) usb-storage and maybe the filesystem used (and it's dependencies like ciphers).
    Greets,
    demian
    // I guess I'm a slow typer. Why don't you show us your /etc/fstab?
    From what you've written the system shouldn't be able to boot since there's no fstab entry for /boot. Maybe I misunderstood you.

  • Filesystem check failed, but filesystems are clean

    Im running custom kernel and this might be related to it, but Im on my wits' end here and looking for pointers.
    The problem is, Im getting filesystem check failed every time I boot my system. And it gives no apparent reason
    for it to happen. I have fsck'd my partitions many times and they are clean. My hwclock is in time and rc.conf is set
    to 'localtime'. The problem didn't occurs on the previous kernel (2.6.18) I had, so I've been using its running config to
    compile the new one (2.6.23). The thing is, the previous kernel works fine, no filesystem check failed in boot. Only
    difference between those two is I had to enable HOTPLUG in the newer kernel to get udev working, otherwise it would
    complain about failing netlink socket in initscript.
    As a temporary solution, I commented out the filesystem check from the rc.sysinit and it boots further. This time
    it fails to mount my /boot/ and /home/ directory and fails to activate my swap. Effectively only root is mounted, but
    after logging in, "mount -a" works without any problems and I can use my system normally.
    I have compiled all(?) the needed modules to the kernel, so initramfs shouldn't be needed, but I've tried it anyway, no
    luck there. The system is build with 2009.08 core install disc, no packages updated as far as I recall.

    Full system upgrade gave me the same issue. Even after udev downgrade (udev-142 is the latest I can use with 2.6.23).
    Edit:
    Changed my fstab back from by-uuid to hdaX, didn't help. Strangely all hdaX are in /dev/ after boot, but the symlinks are missing.

  • "FILESYSTEM CHECK FAILED" after pacman -Syu

    Hi all,
    After a sucessfull 'pacman -Syu' (in which i didnt see any 'todo' messages but it did have a kernel upgrade) archlinux cannot start and i just get to a message similar talking about my root partition (ext3):
    The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
    filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
    filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
    is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
    e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
    ******************* FILESYSTEM CHECK FAILED *************
    * Please repair manually and reboot. Note that the root *
    * filesystem is currently mounted read-only. To remount *
    * it read-write type: mount -n -o remount,rw / *
    * When you exit the mantenance shel the system will *
    * reboot automatically. *
    I restarted with a livecd and 'e2fscked' the partition (which btw found many errors that were corrected by it) but archlinux still gives me the same message. I have checked the partition again and again a thousand times but it always comes up clean, im even able to mount it from the different livecds i have tried and can read and create files on it so im pretty sure it is fine.
    And so my question is, does anyone know why this is happening? How comes archlinux keeps seeing a problem in this partition when others dont? What am i doing wrong?
    An y answer appreciated.

    Hi again,
    I have done some testing, maybe it will help.
    After the failure message i put roots password and i got dropped to a shell, if i try to find the root partition (eg. ls /dev/sda) gives an error cause it sda doesnt exists.
    If i edit rc.sysinit with a livecd and remove the fsck part i get a few diferent errors, some about partitions not being found and similar stuff. In my little knowledge of linux it ooks to me like it doesnt load the sata module or somethig...
    I copy here the pacman.log file, i remember that the update was a huge one, around 400 Mbytes if i remember correctly:

  • Filesystem check failed, root partition not found

    Hi all,
    Since yesterday I receive the following error message when booting into Arch:
    :: Mounting root filesystem read-only [ OK ]
    :: Checking filesystems [BUSY]
    /dev/sda4: no such file or directory
    *************** FILESYSTEM CHECK FAILED *******************
    * Please repair manually and reboot ...
    The device /dev/sda4 is my root partition, which is - after entering the root
    password - mounted as /dev/root. Checking the partition with 'reiserfsck
    /dev/sda4' does not give any error or warning messages. I can also
    successfully remount and access it with 'mount -n -o remount,rw /'.
    'ls -l /dev/sda*' gives me the following:
    brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 0 Apr 28 16:32 /dev/sda
    brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 1 Apr 28 16:32 /dev/sda1
    brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 2 Apr 28 16:32 /dev/sda2
    brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 3 Apr 28 16:32 /dev/sda3
    brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 4 Apr 28 16:32 /dev/sda4
    So the device itself seems to be there. Rebooting doesn't help, neither does
    using older, working kernel versions.
    I also checked other topics on similar subjects, but I couldn't find any solution.

    Hmm, it doesn't work even with the UUID. But the error looks similar:
    Failed to open the device UUID=672f076e-131c-4220-81ba-b30639ef9285: No such file or directory
    But when I call rc.sysinit manually directly after entering the root password,
    everything works fine. It does work with sda as well as uuid notation.
    I manually added some code before the output of the '*** FILESYSTEM CHECK FAILED ***' message:
    ls -l /dev/sda*
    sleep 1
    ls -l /dev/sda*
    The result was:
    ls: cannot access /dev/sda*: No such file or directory
    brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 0 Apr 30 09:12 /dev/sda
    brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 1 Apr 30 09:12 /dev/sda1
    brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 2 Apr 30 09:12 /dev/sda2
    brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 3 Apr 30 09:12 /dev/sda3
    brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 4 Apr 30 09:12 /dev/sda4
    So it seems that the devices are really not yet created. Is it a udev problem?
    I am not aware of changing anything udev specific, maybe an updated version?

  • [SOLVED] Filesystem check failed - All seems normal

    Yesterday i turned of my computer after it had been on for a week or so and this morning i can't get it to boot.
    While booting, on the filesystem check stage, it reports all filesystems as clean, but then says [FAIL], and gives me access to the maintenance shell.
    - I booted the system with a Gparted live cd and did a check on all partitions on all disks. It reported no errors.
    - in fstab I commented out the external disk and the internal one which doesn't contain any system partitions, still the same.
    - I remounted root rw in the maintainance shell, and did a full system upgrade (last kernel upgrade was applied) ... still no cookies...
    - I also tried to mount all the partitions in the maintenance shell. All were mounted without an error, and as far as i can tell all data was there and browsable at least.
    - I tried to boot with a /forcefsck file and the checks were all done without any messages, after which it failed as usual.
    Also i tried fallback (before the upgrade), which as you can guess by now, also gave the same error. The message about the filesystem check failing is not giving me any useful information. All it does is list the partitions saying every partition is clean, and then says the filesystem check has failed.
    As you can probably tell, I did all the steps I could find on the forums that looked it could solve my problems, and I've hit a dead end. If I knew which partition had the problem  I could move the data and format it. Could this be a hardware error?
    Thanks in advance for any help offered

    Nope. I just checked.
    Funny thing. In the maintenance console, when i do a "mount -a", I can navigate to the now mounted directories, but I can't see the mounted partitions as an output of either "mount" or "df".
    I figured this out when I was checking if the disks were full. Root gets shown, and its on 53%. Just in case i deleted about 20GB of stuff from the media partition, but the problem remains.

  • First boot - filesystem check failed.

    I just installed Arch on a clean drive. Newly partitioned with /, /home, and swap partitions. After installation and a reboot, GRUB loads. Then after a while loading the OS, it says filesystem check failed.
    /dev/hda1:
    The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem. If the device is valid
    and it really contains an ext2 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or comething else), then the suberblock
    is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
    e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
    Running that command gives:
    No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/hda1
    My machine is an IBM ThinkPad, model R40. The copyright year on the bottom is 2003. The hard drive is a 20 gigabyte Fujitsu. I don't know what else people need, but I always get asked for more info right away when enquiring about these things. So, the logo is on the bottom-right and the letters are red, green, and blue. The Intel Centrino sticker on the other side is starting to peel off. What else do you need to know?

    That looks better in monospace, but that's an exact copy. Else it'd have better grammar. In /dev, I can see:
    sda
    sda1
    sda3
    Yet no sda2. Nor any hda's. Hmm! What's all this, then?
    [Edit] Ugh, submitting that thing makes it look even worse. You can read it, though. [End edit]
