Mkinitcpio error

Since device-mapper last update, dmsetup moved from /sbin to /usr/sbin
Now, mkinitcpio fails with this message:
[2013-02-12 17:23] ==> Starting build: 3.7.7-1-ARCH
[2013-02-12 17:23] -> Running build hook: [base]

[2013-02-12 17:23] ==> ERROR: file not found: `/sbin/dmsetup'
For now, I solved the problem with a link. Is there another solution?
Thanks.
Edit: I suppose the problem was update order:  device-mapper, then kernel then lvm2. device-mapper and lvm2 should be updated together.

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/33828
I have also added symlink (as root)
ln -s /usr/sbin/dmsetup /sbin/dmsetup
and then re-run (also as root) the
mkinitcpio -p linux
command. But it's a nasty solution and definitely temporary.
Regards.

  • Arch Setup: mkinitcpio error handling

    I just did an install and accidentally put lvm - rather than lvm2 - in the HOOKS array.  Not surprisingly, this caused the mkinitcpio process at the end of Configure System to fail.  However, I didn't see the mkinitcpio 'window' at all; there was just a brief flash of text at the bottom of the screen that didn't last long enough to read.  I would have had no idea that it had failed if I wasn't so familiar with the install process.  Furthermore, there wasn't anything on tty7 or the live logs either (I didn't think to check the installed system's logs), so had no idea why it failed.  I had to chroot into the install and run mkinitcpio there to find out.
    So, this is just a suggestion that there should be some kind of error handling for mkinitcpio in the installer.

    Done: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/25322
    I have never posted a bug report before, so if you have any criticism or suggestions please let me know.

  • Mkinitcpio: ERROR in HOOKS= line

    Hello,
    I am using archboot usb image to install from net (following https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GR … I_systems). When I examine mkinitcpio.conf during system configuration, the HOOKS line is empty: HOOKS=""
    When I edit it and save, the installer replies: ERROR: Detected error in 'HOOKS=' line, please correct HOOKS= in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf!
    I edited the HOOKS line to read: HOOKS=”base udev autodetect scsi sata filesystems usbinput". I also tried editing 'HOOKS=' to various reasonable choices, yet I always get the same error.
    MODULES="ahci libahci xhci-hcd ehci-hcd ext4 vfat"
    'BINARIES=' and 'FILES=' are empty.
    Please advise,
    Thank you.

    Thank you for the suggestion Lone_Wolf. I was using the above partition configuration as a test. I now am running Arch off an SSD, with /var mounted from another disk. I still encounter the same issue with mkinitcpio.conf in the installer. I still can only boot through the UEFI BIOS firmware.
    My system is updated (pacman -Syu) and here is the output of mkinitcpio -p linux:

    Now, when I reboot, I get a message "Filesystem Check Failed". I saw this before and fixed it by:
    remounting / rw (as instructed by the prompt)
    editing mkinitcpio.conf and including lvm2 in the HOOKS line: HOOKS="base udev autodetect scsi sata lvm2 filesystems usbinput"
    # mkinitcpio -p linux
    I am now able to boot, using the firmware boot loader and the mkinitcpio.conf that includes lvm2. Note that the only partitions mounted on lvm are /var and /sgmedia (custom made directory - btrfs).
    Any suggestions welcome,
    thank you.

  • [SOLVED] mkinitcpio error during kernel 2.6.37-6 package upgrade

    After upgrading to kernel26-2.6.37-6-x86_64, I failed after reboot (couldn't mount root and got dropped to the "you're on your own" prompt). Fortunately, the fallback kernel worked. I didn't look into it at the time (it was late), and I noticed a new kernel package the next day, so I updated again thinking maybe it was a bug that got fixed. Nope. Same problem after reboot, but I paid a little more attention this time and saw the errors below:
    sudo pacman -U kernel26-2.6.37.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

    ==> SUCCESS
    Since my root partition is btrfs, I require the libcrc32c module on load, and it looks like mkinitcpio couldn't manage to get it (and a few other modules) into my initrd. So I ran:
    sudo /sbin/mkinitcpio -k 2.6.37-ARCH -c /etc/mkinitcpio.conf -g /boot/kernel26.img
    again by hand, and it worked without errors. (Yeah, I'm a sudo person, in case you were wondering.)
    Here are the relevant /etc/mkinitcpio.conf lines:
    MODULES="dm_mod dm_mirror btrfs crc32c libcrc32c"
    HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata dmraid lvm2 filesystems"
    I don't know squat about mkinitcpio and why it would work fine when run by hand but choke when run via pacman. Anyone have any ideas?

    According to Ryan Hill's comment on http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=353907#c16 which is sending us to http://lwn.net/Articles/429345/  - it looks like ext4 is also impacted by this bug, not only compressed btrfs!
    Chris Mason from Oracle (funny, "magical" coincidence ;P ) said he's got a patch for btrfs and hes testing it. Hope to see it soon...
    Edit: ahhh here it is http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-btrfs … 08577.html
    Edit2: patches were merged with today's (26.02.2011) mainline kernel snapshot: 2.6.38-rc6-git6
    it seems to work fine for me, so i guess it's [SOLVED] now

  • Mkinitcpio upgrade: "exists in filesystem" error

    When running pacman -Syu, I get the following errors:
    error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
    mkinitcpio: /lib/initcpio/hooks/keymap exists in filesystem
    mkinitcpio: /lib/initcpio/hooks/udev exists in filesystem
    mkinitcpio: /lib/initcpio/install/keymap exists in filesystem
    mkinitcpio: /lib/initcpio/install/udev exists in filesystem
    mkinitcpio: /lib/initcpio/udev/load-modules.sh exists in filesystem
    Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
    error: pacman exited with an error (256)
    I assume this has to do with the changes to mkinitcpio mentioned on the front page
    I have earlier modified the HOOKS line in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
    HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata keymap uresume filesystems"
    So, what do I do? Force the upgrade?

    I'm getting the same error on yaourt -Syu (also occurs when trying to upgrade mkinitcpio)
    error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
    mkinitcpio: /lib/initcpio/hooks/keymap exists in filesystem

    mkinitcpio: /lib/initcpio/udev/load-modules.sh exists in filesystem
    Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
    The upgrade is from mkinitcpio 0.5.30-1 to 0.6.2-1 and to mkinitcpio-busybox 1.15.3-5 (new package)
    I'm running x86_64. I can update other packages without problems.
    Edit: I forced the upgrade of mkinitcpio and rebuilt the kernel image. The new image doesn't work (it can't find /sbin/udevd, which does exist). If I remove klibc-*, the kernel won't build at all (Can't build hook udev).
    Booting the new kernel image:

    any suggestions?

    First run it, without any modification to learn how it works. Check if works. Modify as you need. Check if works...
    Do not worry about the mkinitcpio error, because such initramfs images should not be used for boot live medium. You can see that profiles uses own mkinitcpio.conf with at least archiso hook
    Running mkarchiso directly is not the right way, at least if you do not know how things works.

  • [SOLVED] mkinitcpio stalled at [autodetect]

    I just updated from linux 3.2.2-1 to 3.2.5-1, and mkinitcpio hangs on "Parsing hook: [autodetect]". I have (maybe unwisely) tried killing it and starting it again manually, but have encountered the same problem again.
    What should I do? I don't want to end up with an unbootable system...

    Thanks for your replies, and sorry for not providing more information. I just did not know what might be helpful.
    The mkinitcpio.conf diff:
    7c7

    > MODULES=""
    51,53c51,53
    < ## This setup assembles a pata raid array with an encrypted root FS.

    > HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata filesystems usbinput"

    > #COMPRESSION="lzop"
    The mkinitcpio log is here. Note that just running mkinitcpio without arguments did not work:
    # mkinitcpio
    ==> ERROR: '/lib/modules/3.2.2-1-ARCH/' is not a valid kernel module directory
    So I ran this instead (when generating the log):
    mkinitcpio -g /boot/initramfs-linux.img -k 3.2.5-1-ARCH
    Edited for clarity.

  • Wifi problem with 3.1.2

    Hey,
    hope someone can help with my wifi problem on Iphone 3G.
    After update on 3.1.2 first wifi starts breaking down and now it won't find any station.
    I would say it is defenetly a software bug!
    Because after setting back the iphone to a backup from early this year and sync with itunes everything seems ok for a moment. Just after a few hours the problems starts from the beginning.
    I also tryed to reset network setting with restart, work just for 1 hour.
    Maybe there is an other idea
    Thanks

    FYI, these forums are for Arch Linux support only.  Despite the fact that Archbang seems very much like Arch linux, it has been customized in ways that are not totally clear, and these differences have been known to cause some pretty heated issues in these forums, since those trying to help, nor the one seeking help knows what these changes are.
    That said, I will tell you that the mkinitcpio errors are harmless and are giving warnings on a initramfs that you probably never use.  Also, if you want to find old packages, there is the Arch Rollback Machine where you should be able to find the older firmware.  You should know that you can list the contents of the package with pacman, so you should then be able to go to the Intel Linux wireless page and find old firmware and replace it manually if necesary as well.
    I am now going to report this thread.  Sorry bro.  Good luck.

  • Installation problem with the new iso after trying to install the LTS

    I tried to install arch (i have always succeeded before) but i wanted to use the LTS kernel. When choosing packages i unchecked the linux package (which provides the 3 kernel) and checked the kernellts package.
    After i was done with the configuration i got this error message (not exactly sure) something to do with the mkinitcpio : error Preset not found: '/etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux.preset'
    The system was unbootable of course... I assume that it has to do something with the kernel version. Any help would be appreciated. Maybe i should try to install with the older iso...

    Thanks for the quick reply. But I 've  already formatted the partion... Can you tell me a way to do this during the instalation? If it can't be done should I use the older iso? I am not an expert by the way. I assume I could install the 3.0 first and then add the lts kernel but I hate installing anything that I will not use (that's one of the reasons I want to use Arch). Thanks in advance.
    PS. Would the archboot iso help?

  • Best way to clone a installation

    Hi
    I installed and configured arch on an older machine and now would like to clone the installation (mostly because all the mail settings, etc) to a different machine... my plan was to install the basic installtion from a live cd and then copy all files from the old / .
    I know there are certain files than are machine specifiic eg. /etc/fstab, the extlinux loader file etc...
    so I tried to copy everything but these machine specific files, but that ruined the installation so I guess I am doing something wrong. Is there an easier way to clone the setup or did I just miss a specific file?
    Does anyone have experience in this issue?
    regards,
    keen

    The user issue is fine now.
    I used an external hard drive to copy my old installations data and did not use
    cp -ar
    so the permissions were missing. I fixed that.
    I'll post my /var/log messages in a couple of minutes.
    One more thing. I am a bit worried about the system I tried a pacman update und had these messages:

    Things seems to work, but I'm a bit worried.
    It has just started. PS/2 atkbd stuff went fine.

    Do all of those files exist on your sytemd? I'm not running testing nor systemd in my initrd, so I can't do much checking.

  • [SOLVED] [mkinitcpio] initramfs "build error" messages since v.18-1

    Hi everybody,
    Since the update from mkinitcpio 17-1 to 18-1 I get those build error messages while running mkinitcpio:
    # mkinitcpio -p linux

    However I can still boot and everything seems mostly fine. I haven't changed anything to my /etc/mkinitcpio.conf, here are the only customized parts:
    MODULES="i915 dm_snapshot"
    HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block keymap encrypt lvm2 filesystems keyboard fsck
    I'm using an encrypted root (ext4 over LVM over LUKS) and boot partition is contained in an (unencrypted) LVM logical volume. I also specify a few i915 module options in an /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf file as per the Intel Graphics wiki page:
    # Intel graphics driver power-saving option :
    options i915 i915_enable_rc6=7 i915_enable_fbc=1 lvds_downclock=1
    Never had any such warnings before, but now it appears each and every time I update or reinstall my kernel (the default one). I went through Mkinitcpio wiki page, tried putting question marks after the listed modules and rebuilding but it didn't change anything... Any ideas?
    Btw, I don't use any specific compression option and had the regular lzo name change during the same full system upgrade that updated mkinitcpio and linux.
    Thanks

    Yes indeed, removing /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf~ hidden backup file solved the warning issue. Strange but thanks ukhippo, I hadn't thought about checking other subforums!

  • Error: Preset not found: '/etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux.preset' [Solved]

    Hi
    I tried to initial RAM disk with and got error message
    [root@archiso /]# mkinitcpio -p linux
    ==> ERROR; Preset not found: '/etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux.preset'
    And I found some answers but one said
    ALARM doesn't use an uInitrd.
    and another said I have to be install kernel26.
    How I can solve this?

    This is confusing given this report. Could you confirm exactly the prompt you have when you try to run the configuration commands such as mkinitcpio -p linux.
    Because, as Trilby says, if you really have successfully installed base and base-devel and chrooted into the system, you should not be seeing these errors. Also, I am pretty sure that you should not have needed to verify the master key manually. When Arch first introduced signing, manual verification of keys was required but I am almost certain that is no longer the case. So something is almost certainly wrong at an earlier stage and you need to fix that, as Trilby says, before moving onto the next stage.
    EDIT: "As Trilby says" should now read "as Trilby says again" - I'm too slow.

  • [SOLVED] mkinitcpio brings error during install

    installing mkinitcpio...
    Optional dependencies for mkinitcpio:
    installing linux...
    >>> Updating module dependencies. Please wait ...
    >>> Generating initial ramdisk, using mkinitcpio. Please wait ...
    /sbin/mkinitcpio: line 160: 6596 Segmentation fault mountpoint -q /proc
    ==> ERROR: /proc must be mounted!
    It's happening even before any configuration so I can't imagine what could I did wrong... had some troubles with sources (core newer than extra) but I finally decided to use ftp.archlinux.org so it's irrelevant.
    Should I exit the installer and mount /proc? But, well... I don't know what device should I mount there. ;3
    Also, when I'm exiting the installer, this errors appear (a lot of times in a row):
    [ *number 1*] SQUASHFS error: Unable to read data cache entry [*number 2*]
    [ *number 3*] SQUASHFS error: Unable to read page, block *number 2*, size 96ac
    and some buffer I/O errors and I can't even "shutdown -r now" and need to use power button... but only after failed installation, without it - everything is okay.
    Can it be that the installation media is damaged, like e.g. I did sth wrong during "dd" the iso into the pen drive?
    I would appreciate any response.

    as suspected, i can't boot.
    it looks like the udev hook isn't working, because when crypt is run it can't find /dev/sda8, and on the console there's no sd* in /dev/. udev was listed three times, as an early hook, normal hook, and clean up hook.
    starting to think i'm going to need a recovery cd, but at a year old, will it even work?
    na forget that, i'm chrooted in from fedora, debian wouldn't let me for some reason. edit: i think it was mounted noexec...
    I've done:
    pacman -Syu --ignore glibc
    and that went fine
    then tried
    pacman -Su
    and found i needed to delete those old kernel headers
    then tried again and i get
    error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
    glibc: /lib exists in filesystem
    Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
    but when i do this
    [root@nb lib]# find /lib -exec pacman -Qo -- {} +|grep -v glibc
    error: cannot determine ownership of directory '/lib'
    [root@nb lib]#
    it looks like everything unrelated to glibc is already gone, just the folder /lib itself is causing problems.
    also i did a pacman -S linux, like i shouldn't have to begin with, but this time it was able to properly make a mkinitcpio image.
    here's the other command the news page suggested to help fix the problem
