Kernel missing from default install

Hi,
I just installed arch linux in a dual boot configuration with windows xp. During the installation I selected only the base packages and installed the default kernel, the IDE/SCSI one. The kernel installed fine and I installed grub to /dev/sda as I have a single sata hard disk. I have windows on sda1 and a swap on sda2 which is at the end of the disk and sda3 in the middle for my root partition. Once I rebooted after installation however my windows install booted fine but grub gives me and error claiming it cannot find the initrd26.img. I do not know much about the whole boot process of the kernel so I was hoping if someone could help me find a fix. Here is a list of my /boot and /boot/grub directories and my menu.lst file. I noticed there is a file called kernel26.img but I am not sure whether that is the initrd26.img file or the kernel itself.

The regular grub config uses kernel26.img as the initrd (yes, that's what it is). It also has another entry that uses kernel26-fallback.img (a bigger, more generalized initrd) and appropriate options to boot in single-user mode.
I don't know why yours didn't come out right. There isn't an initrd26.img file any more (though I think there used to be one a while back).

  • [SOLVED]/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt missing from fresh install?

    Hi!
    I was wondering if any of you could understand why I need to reinstall ca-certificates post-install, so as /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt gets generated back?
    I'm installing from a netinstall x86_64 image with automatic AIF profile and from [testing] repo?
    Since the file gets made when installing post-install, then I thought that it was rather an install issue instead of a [testing] one? I dunno...
    I've just run a new install from the usb stick, and still the same, and pacman.log states that ca-certificates is installed fine, but again the file is missing and I get complaints in vt1 when browsing https sites and when using curl and such, unless I do a reinstall of ca-certificates...
    Thanks in advance!
    -- EDIT --
    Problem solved by latest perl from testing repo...
    Last edited by mhertz (2012-01-03 01:40:16)

    .. Just wanted to add that of course I know that the ca-certificates.crt isn't in the actual package, but that it _should_ be generated by running update-ca-certificates from the packages install script, but just isn't upon install...
    The package is also out of testing now and in core I see...
    Anyway, to fix this, I guess I just need to add an extra chroot command in my AIF config which runs 'update-ca-certificates --fresh', since atleast that works i.e. generates ca-certificates.crt, but i've only tried it post-install, and I don't want to do another install again, as I did 2 yesterday...
    Again, if anybody could help me with some kind of explanation or theory or whatever for this, then I would really appreciate it!
    I _do_ think that the update-ca-certificates command is run correctly during install, as else I guess I wouldn't have all these symlinks in my /etc/ssl/certs/ folder, but then why it dosen't generate that additional ca-certificates.crt file, I really do not understand...
    Thanks in advance!
    (I don't want to report an error before being absolutelly sure that it is an actual error and that I know exactly what i'm talking about in the report...)
    -- EDIT --
    I just did a "normal" test-install of arch64-net in a VM, i.e. without using AIF's automatic procedure, and just selected the core repo and to install base(wget depends on ca-certificates), and in the output there where reported:
    Installing ca-certificates... Error: Command failed to execute correctly.
    There weren't anything more specific in /var/log/{pacman,aif}.log about this, and again there where no ca-certificates.crt generated, and it first appeared after manually running update-ca-certificates post-install...
    I'm gonna make a bug-report on the bugtracker now then...

  • Why is dataacq.h missing from my installed version of CVI 5.5?

    I need the header file dataacq.h for some applications that I am using. I know the file is present on other versions of CVI 5.5 and want to know why the file was not installed (using standard install) on my system (Windows 98)

    Vishnu,
    please take care of the difference between "DAQmx" and "Traditional DAQ": they are completely different products with no interaction between them. The supporting files also are different.
    Since you are looking for "dataacq.h", you absolutely need to install traditional daq: installing DAQmx will not solve any of your problems. BTW, traditional daq is in version 7.4.4 and wont' be updated anymore. It can be downloaded from here, but should be also included in NI-DAQ driver disks and is surely included in Developer Suite distributions.
    Second item: the presence of LabVIEW again has no influence on CVI development environment. A problem may arise if in the same machine a newer CVI is already installed, in which case a new install of traditional daq will not update CVI6 environment.
    At this moment, I can see several scenarios: please let us know which is your exact situation so that we can address it in the proper way.
    Scenario 1
    LabVIEW installed. No other CVI installed apart your CVI6
    In this case simply installing Traditional DAQ will solve your problems: during installation be sure to install CVI support (the setup program whould correctly identify your CVI6IDE)
    Scenario 2
    LabVIEW installed. A newer CVI installed together with CVI6 IDE.
    In this case you should install Traditionl DAQ (which will install support fro the newer IDE) and then copy DAQ files to CVI6 environment. The copy will imply several files, not only dataacq.h.
    Let me know if this is your case and I will list you all the files to copy.
    Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

  • Ilife not installing from Software install DVD

    Hi,
    I have a G5 that came preinstalled with 10.3 and the iLife programs (iphoto, iDVD, etc). Over time, I upgraded to 10.3.9. Recently my computer was having problems, so I did an erase and install from the original Software install and restore DVD to 10.3 (my computer came with one dvd). Now my computer has iphoto 2.0 and no iDVD. I can't open iphoto because i had been using a more recent version. I'm pretty sure my computer came with the iLife 04 apps, why won't it install them from the original software DVD?
    Thanks in advance for any help

    Thanks, that was helpful. I was able to see that my Installation install and restore DVD only has iPhoto 2, and no iDVD.
    I found the box that my computer came in and it says that I should have the iLife 04 programs. The only thing I can figure is that I got a seperate iLife DVD with the computer, and have lost it. I can't think of any reason that software would be missing from the install DVD.

    Will Web Cache from default install automatically cache the first url and the second url will just fetch the doc from cache?
    How about the third url? Will web cache fetch the cached contents or bypasses the cache?
    Will Web Cache caches the images files ?

    Regards,

    I can't open any of the links you provided. Anyway, you need to set up caching rules in the config for whatever you want to cache, whether it's html files or gifs or whatever. Either that, or you need to use surrogate-control response headers.
    If you haven't already done so, my suggestion is that you read the relevant sections of the documentation and then follow up on this posting if you have further questions.

  • Pacman Missing From Install

    Hey,
    Not new to Linux, used Arch a long time ago, but nowhere near recent, tried installing it again.
    I installed base and devel, which I get doesn't leave me with much, but there's some things missing.
    Like pacman, useradd, etc. aren't there.  I only have the basic toolchain, and not entirely sure what happened to devel, but I don't have gcc, g++, make, etc.  All I have is like the bare minimal programs...the most complicated program I have is wget, lol.
    Did I do something wrong, or is the base install simply this bare?
    I thought it shouldn't be too terrible to download/install pacman but it can be tiresome depending on what dependencies it may have that I'd have to sort out manually....
    I have the file structure, have basic tools, but it ends there.
    I was going to use this instructional but I figure this isn't normal and I probably did something wrong.  I feel like pacman should come with the default install and I can't find any other cases of this...so help?
    Thx .

    Did you get errors during boot?  What bootloader are you using, and what's in the boot loader config?
    EDIT: wget should not be in an initramfs - so if that's really there this could be wrong, but I'd still want to verify that.
    I'm not sure if it's a recovery shell or not, how do I tell?
    I do get an error during boot, but it's just an fstab error (UUID labels wrong on one of the other drives).  Shouldn't have an effect on the OS..
    falconindy wrote:busybox provides a binary called wget.
    And Busybox, as you've concluded, is one of the things that's installed, there is a busybox binary as well...it's about the only thing that feels not 'standard' so to speak.

  • I am trying to install the newest version of Itunes and it fails with the message "Program cannot start MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling program to fix this program.I have tried reinstalling several times but get same results

    I am trying to install the newest version of Itunes and each time I repeatedly get the message "Program cannot start MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer Try reinstalling to fix this problem". I have tried reinstalling several times and I get the same message . Any ideas? I am most appreciative. I am using Windows 7.

    Hi 49balf,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I recommend removing and reinstalling iTunes using these steps:
    Check for .dll files
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
    If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
    Reboot your computer.
    Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
    Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
    Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
    Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
    Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
    You can find the article with these steps and more information here:

  • Problem installing iTunes update: "Can't start" iTunes "because MSVCR80.dll is missing" from my computer. Please help!

    Please help! I tried to update my iTunes as prompted, but it did not install correctly, and now I am getting the following message and do not know how to fix the problem: 
    "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling this program to fix the problem."
    Another window gives me this message:
    "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126)"
    BUT I AM AFRAID  TO REINSTALL iTUNES and lose my library! Would greatly appreciate learning how to resolve this porblem without losing my music!
    Cheers!

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

    Now I've checked the forums and followed the advice of uninstalling all Apple applications, rebooting, and reinstalling iTunes.
    This is not working. I've tried installing as Administrator but doesn't make any difference at all.
    There must be a way to fix this? I'm not a tech geek but I want to avoid having to take my laptop back to factory settings to sort this out.

    Thanks Paul; but, taking your suggestion didn't solve the problem.  As mail is part of the OS, the updates don't have the capacity to reinstall applications; so, I had to reinstall the OS.  I now have my mail back (although it didn't appear on the dock--I had to go to applications and activate it and then put it back in the dock.  Thanks again for trying.

  • HT4410 I have just installed Windows 7 64-bit full version Home Premium using Bootcamp and cannot get access to the internet. I installed on a Macbook Air Mid 2012 with Mountain Lion. Are there some drivers that are missing from the Windows 7

    Dear Apple. I have just installed Windows 7 64-bit full version Home Premium using Bootcamp and cannot get access to the internet. I installed on a Macbook Air Mid 2012 with Mountain Lion. Are there some drivers that are missing from the Windows 7 bootcamp install download from Apple

    It is a Total Misconception that the Support files are installed when you are installing Windows, even if the USB drive that holds them is inserted in the system when doing the Windows install.
    You must always Run the Setup.exe files from the support files or run the drivers individually once Windows has finished installing and booted to the desktop.
    Also you really need to run the Boot Camp Control Panel Applet and check for updates as not all the newest drivers for full function of all the hardware is included with the original support download. That download is basically a generic version to get the system working and without doing the updates not everything will work properly.

  • Kernel Panic - can't start in Safe Mode or from OS Install disc

    Can anyone help me ?,
    Here's what happens :
    1. I press the power button to switch on
    2. The usual grey screen with the apple logo appears but after a few seconds it is replaced by a darker grey/black screen with a message in the centre saying something like 'you need to restart your computer, press restart or press and hold the power button for a few seconds' in several languages(I believe that this is indicates a Kernel Panic)
    3. Powering down as per the instruction just results in the same message appearing when I switch on again......
    I've looked at numerous suggested solutions, here and elsewhere - the problem is that they all start with either:
    ...start your machine in Safe Mode...
    Or
    ...start your machine from the OS disc...
    and I have been unable to do either (the same panic screen just reappears each time)
    I've also tried starting in Single User Mode and typing mount uw / (step 1 of another suggested solution) - again it simply hangs after returning a few lines of text...
    I have a G4 iMac with superdrive and have recently installed OSX 10.4
    Any suggestions you can offer would be gratefully received!

    Hello going:
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    One suggestion - if you have third party memory installed, remove it and see if the problem goes away. If it does not and you cannot start from the software install DVD, you will need to take your computer to either an Apple store or to an Apple certified repair facility for diagnosis. Kernel panics may be caused by either hardware or software, but if you cannot start from your install DVD, no further "repair" operations would be possible.

    Anubha,
    It worked! Thank you so much.
    I'd opened file with the 'Open with' feature then clicking Adobe Reader,
