Is it possible to wait longer for USB with mkinitcpio-solved

Hi,
I recently installed from an arch0.7.2-base CD, but can't boot after the mkiniticpio upgrade, including with the kernel26-fallback.img.
My root partiition is on a USB hard-drive, and it seems like the drive isn't being detected in time.
With mkinitrd I could specify a delay to wait for USB devices to settle, but there doesn't appear to be anything similar in mkinitcpio, is there?
This may not be the problem at all, of course, but on one occasion when I booted with break=y, just after the message about break requested, there is no ls binary etc.,
usb2-4: new fullspeed USB device using OHCI_HCD address 2
came up, which looked like it had found the USB device, but too late.
(This is after it says it failed to detect the filesytem type etc.)
When I do break=y and echo /dev/*, my hda devices are there,  but there are no sda devices, just  a series of usbdev files (e.g. usbdev1.1_ep00 ).  Is that normal?
Sorry for posting yet another mkinitcpio question.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Let me know if there's any other output I should post.
Thanks,
Fishonadish

Update:
I'm fairly certain the lack of wait time for USB is the problem now.
I can now boot into arch fine provided I use break=y.
I get the messages about about not finding the root device then the break requested section then, after the ramfs$ prompt appears I get
SCSI device sda: [number] 512-byte hdwr sectors [number] MB
and so on...
and when I type exit at the prompt it boots fine.
To get this far I rebuilt the kernel26.img with the following in mkinitcpio.conf:
MODULES="usb-storage ext3"
HOOKS="base udev autodetect usb filesystems"
(Not sure about this, but it seems putting usb-storage in modules got me this far?)
I still need to get it to delay for USB for a bit longer so I don't have to type 'exit' at the ramfs prompt every time I want to boot, or is it some other problem?
If this has been dealt with before, then sorry for the repetition, but I can't find anything covering it elsewhere.
Thanks.

  • I have to wait longer for my iPhone 6?!?!

    I pre ordered the iPhone 6 and when i got the confirmation an hour later, the delivery date said 9/19. I go to the verizon website and it says delivery by 10/14. Does that mean that i have to wait longer for my iPhone 6? I hope that it means for the people that order it now have to wait..

    Exact same issue here and I ordered mine before the midnight preordering started. It said it would be delivered by 9/19, then when I checked the status it said 10/14. Now it say expected ship date not available. I don't think anyone knows when it will ship at this point. I called customer support and got a bunch of vague answers and still no real date to expect my phone. You would think by this point that they could look up how many phones they will have, who ordered first, and assign shipping dates. I remember a similar issue with the iphone 5 launch that ended up working itself out and my phone arrived on launch day. Hopefully this will work out the same.

  • I received a New Ipad Mini 32gb with WIFI Only as a gift, Is it possible to exchange it for one with 3G and WiFi

    Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

    There is the no questioned ask 14/15 day return policy with apple stores.  Ask the person who gifted it to you.
    Other than that there is MiFi.
    I recently signed up for FreedomPop.com. http://www.freedompop.com
    FreedomPop provides 500meg of free 4g cellular data per month!  You do need to buy their wireless device at $39.   There are ways of getting bonus megs.  One gig of addition data costs $10 per month.  I used about 15megs per hour of lite internet surfing.
    When signing up, you need to be careful with your selections.  On some screens, the free option is a small link below the large button.  FreedomPop employs a Pavlovian Dog < Operant conditioning > thing of getting you used to clicking on the large button then they change the large button to a paid add-on.
    Once you setup your account, you need to go to your account options screen to turn off automatic paid data download once you exceed your quota.
    The performance seems a little slower than my DSL connection.

  • I'm running out of memory on my iPad mini. Can I trade up for one with more memory?

    I have 32g memory & have removed a lot I don't need. Is it possible to trade up for one with more memory?

    Apple does not take trade ins as such. You could sell it outright and then purchase another model with more storage capacity. You might want to see what gazelle.com will give you for the device, but you always do better selling it outright.
    There are external WiFi drives that you can purchase to use with your iPad if that is of any interest to you.

  • [IOS-Android] Is it possible to make flashbuilder listening for usb debugging without re-packaging an app ?

    With big apps it's boring to wait 10 minutes to package ios app just to be able to retry something. Is there a way to make flash builder listen for usb debugging like after the debug packaging bug without re-package ?

    Just FYI, Whatsapp is not free indefinitely even on Android phones. They give a one-year trial period after which you have to pay per year for the subscription (a miniscule amount, but you have to pay nonetheless), whereas with the iOS app you pay once up front and then don't have to pay again. So in the long run, the iOS version comes out cheaper (at least unless Whatsapp changes their pricing model). And also just FYI, Whatsapp doesn't work on the iPod touch, only on the iPhone.
    In any case, as planb77 said, pricing is totally up to the developer of the app. It's completely the developer's choice what price to charge for an app.

  • Is it possible to wait for data using ODIWaitForData on a column of table

    Hi,
    Is it possible to wait for data on a column instead of waiting for data on a table.I knwo there is ODIWaitForData for which I can use the Filter Column and Filter Variable expressions to wait for data.But I do not know what is the value that I amy recevie ,so in a sense I do not know what is the value that I may be expecting.So how else can I wait for the data on a column.Note that I have used even the SQLFilter option in ODIWaitForData..
    Thanks & Regards,

    Thank you for responding to my post Niel. The HD is completely empty like it's not even formatted and no partitions yet. I have the installation DVD that I borrowed from a friend. I tried to insert it into the external CD/DVD drive, restarted the PC while pressing and holding the C button then I see the apple logo after a while it was showing a not allowed sign, the icon that is circle and has slash in the middle of it. I replaced the HD because my old HD crashed after upgrading to OS X Mavericks.

  • I've installed bootcamp 4.0 on my iMac 27. Everything works superb, but for playing need for speed run or battlefield 3 I need catalyst driver 11.7 or higher. How can I update my graphics? Is there a possibility except waiting for a new bootcamp version?

    But how do you install the drivers if Bootcamp is running interference?
    Bottom line, I'ev tried to install three different versions of updated ATI driver sover the last few momnths and on each and every occassion have ended up with the original Bootcamp driver. A number of current games are unplayable on a Mac running Bootcamp as a result.
    And if I can't run the software I want, then Bootcamp is as useless as boobs on a bull.

    "WAITED TOO LONG FOR A ROW CACHE ENQUEUE LOCK" happens when it needs to acquire a lock on data dictionary. Did you check the trace file associated with the statement?The trace file is too long, which information I need to focus more?

  • Error: WAITED TOO LONG FOR A ROW CACHE ENQUEUE LOCK! pid=26

    Hi every one,
    Today, i met a problem: Application cannot connect to database because database hang ( I also cannot connect to database with sqlplus) . Check alert log, only one error:
    WAITED TOO LONG FOR A ROW CACHE ENQUEUE LOCK! pid=26This error not only appear first time, but also happen every one month. I must reset server for database release all memory but I think It isn't a true solution!
    Could you give a recommend for this.
    Regards.

    The Row Cache is actually the Data Dictionary Cache. It is where definitions from the data dictionary (tablespaces, objects, users etc) are loaded into memory.
    There would be an associated trace file written with the occurrence of this warning.

    When will I receive my I phone 6 case which i ordered along with the I phone 6 ?As per the website it says October. How long is the wait time for the I phone 6 case?

    While we have no idea within this Community Forum how long you would have to wait for your iPhone 6 Case, I can tell you that there would not be a "general" answer of value.  Like any product that is available in different materials and colors, the inventory varies based on what you have specifically ordered.  For example, I visited an Apple Store on the day after the iPhone 6 became available and was interested in the "Midnight Blue" Leather"  Apple iPhone 6 Case.  The store had plenty of all the other colors, but that specific case and color had sold out that morning. 

  • Waiting for USB to initialize... during installation

    Dear All...
    I have a problem trying to turn my PC into real time target,
    I'm trying to install RT system from USB Stick but the program stops with communicate "Waiting for USB to initialize..."
    I've read the manual and tried to unplug and plug again USB Stick, but it doesn't help.
    Moreover I tried to make bootable pen-drive by my self using win98 boot floppy files and manually copied rest of data made by MAX, but it also won't help.
    My hardware is:

    Asus P7P55LX
    Intel PRO 10/100 S
    ATA HDD 3GB (and also connected SATA RAID02x500GB SATA 200GB)
    So it looks like I match the system requirements.
    I also installed latest BIOS but it didn't help.

    Downloaded Mountain Lion on my iMac.  Why is it so slow opening up from sleep and taking so long for the wireless mouse to engage?

    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain 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/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Maximum cable lengths for USB / FW / DVI & sVGA?

    I've hunted around on the net and can't find any kind of definitive answer regarding maximum cable lengths for USB, Firewire 400/800 and DVI / sVGA monitors. Can anyone shed some light?
    I'm about to shift my studio into a new room, and have the oppourtunity to stick my G5 and external drives into a corridor cupboard adjacent to where my studio is - in other words, noise free bliss! But....
    ...if I map out how far my computer monitors, keyboard and audio interface will be from the cupboard, and take into account the twists and turns involved in neat routing, I'm looking at a distance of about 10 meters. I need to know if any of these devices will be OK with such a long run of cable, and if not, if it's possible to achieve a good result using hubs or repeaters?
    So, can anyone help me out with info on:
    an Apogee Ensemble (Firewire 400)
    an Apple keyboard (USB 2.0)
    an LCD flatscreen (DVI)
    and another LCD flatscreen (sVGA)
    Many thanks!

    I was just researching the very same thing, though it does not  sound like my studio setup will be as sweet as yours. Here are a few things I ran across:
    FIREWIRE-
    "The maximum cable length specified by the IEEE1394 standard is 4.5 meters. However, more recent tests have shown that certain high quality firewire cables can achieve longer lengths without significantly affecting transmission quality. Several manufacturers sell firewire cables longer than 5 meters (some up to 50 meters)."

  • ID for USB connected cdrw

    What designator is correct for the cdrw device when connected via USB-IDE device, sc, sg, or sr?
    Can it be Udev rules setup in any of the above?

    That's possible.  The same CD-drive was listed as /dev/sr0 on another laptop.  It was with older kernel and udev versions.  That laptop isn't working anymore so I can't test further.
    When you plug-in the USB drive, udev should create a device in /dev.  By comparing the content of /dev before and after plugging the drive, you can find what device represent your drive.
    Here's what dmesg give me when I plug it in:
    scsi0 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
    usb-storage: device found at 4
