"mount point /proc/bus/usb does not exist" -deux

Hi everyone!
I've installed arch 6.0 on a laptop running on the 2.4 SCSI kernel.
Indeed, /proc/bus/usb does not exist. I'm not sure why...
I'm not sure how to get the full directory either.
I've viewed this thread and this thread and followed the advice to change the usb line in my fstab to usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults 0 0. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but the problem didn't go away and my /proc/bus/usb did not magically appear afterwards.

ok, I did the update. The usb directory is still not there.
Since I don't have permission to make the directory myself (even as root), I guess I'll call it quits here.
I'm using the arch 7.0 cd now. The problem has gone away.

    Does anybody know why this mount point would not be there? There is indeed a directory at that location...

    Nope, it's a miracle, concerning the scsi kernel only, AFAIK. Some devs have
    rebuilt with some module variations but no clue so far where it does come
    from.
    It goes like that:
    usbcore loads usbfs (when it shouldn't), at a time when proc is not mounted.
    usbfs tries to create the dir and throws that error. Later on boot process
    hotplug corrects that. So it's a kind of annoyance, but it does feel
    uncomfortable as long as no one where it does come from :-/

  • Initscripts 2012.08.3-1 /proc/bus/usb does not exist

    After upgrading initscripts
    [2012-08-28 15:26] upgraded initscripts (2012.08.2-1 -> 2012.08.3-1)
    boot.log shows the following error message
    mount: mount point /proc/bus/usb does not exist
    I didn't find any recent post about this issue. I recall that something changed maybe with /proc and /sys some weeks/months ago, but I get this warning message since the initscripts update.
    Any idea? Or is it a sign that I should familiarize myself with systemd?
    Update:
    I missed this thread, same issue, sorry: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=147916
    Someone may want to delete this one. Thanks.

  • /proc/acpi/button does not exist.

    /proc/acpi/button does not exist. Any ideas?
    or, anyone knows which module is the owner of /proc/acpi/button?
    Thanks!

    I am having the same problem, even with a stock kernel. There is no power button
    device and therefore acpi_listen does not detect putton press events. I am on a
    Thinkpad T420s, which used to work until a recent reinstall. Here are the
    outputs that were originally requested (most of them look quite similar to
    enicham's):

    This looks fine to me, but when /dev/sda1 is mounted at /new_root, none of the other devices are mounted....
    I don't know if this is what's causing the problem since /etc, and /usr are on separate partitions from root, but
    this would be the first time I get a problem dividing things this way (on ubuntu, mint, fedora, et cetera).
    So I tried:
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 3#p1283343
    I get "* is owned by filesystem 2013.05-2" for all three dirs from step three.
    None of the other steps have any effect....
    I also tried:
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=172943
    My /dev/sda1 mounts to new_root, so I don't think I'm having his problem.
    And:
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=166423
    I reinstalled systemd-sysvcompat, and I'm sure that's not my problem.
    Interestingly enough, /usr/lib/systemd/systemd is an elf file on my target hard disk.
    Is this an outdated issue or something? Or should /usr/lib/systemd/systemd be a text file?
    Thanks in advance for your help guys!

    WorMzy wrote:Oh, and /usr/lib/systemd/systemd is supposed to be an ELF binary. Not sure why you think it should be a text file.
    I saw another thread saying that adding an entry there would help. I think it was "init=<something>".
    WonderWoofy wrote:A separate /etc is not supported whatsoever.  There needs to be initial access to a few things there.  I'm sure it could be made to work with some initramfs hackery.  But it is neither supported or wise to do so IMO.
    I'll not do the separate partitions then. Thanks. I'll check back if it works/doesn't-works.

  • SCCM 2012 R2 - Reporting Services Point installation - "The Datasource does not exist"

    Hi all,
    Quick bit of background, we have SCCM 2012 R2 installed on a Windows 2012 R2 server. We have the SQL back end off box, configured on a SQL 2012 R2 server running on a Windows Server 2012 R2 cluster. Then there is yet another server which runs the reporting
    services. I've just tried installing the Reporting Services Point on the srs server but it doesn't appear to have worked that well. Here's the info i've got back:

    Hi guys, cheers for the swift response.
    Garth, i can access SSRS in IE from the SCCM box and it looks a-ok.
    Paul, nope can't say I've done any configuration of reporting services - the whole thing has been set up by the database team. Having had a trundle through Reporting Services Configuration Manager, it seems the Database team have set up SSRS in line with
    the walkthrough you posted.
    Since i'm not seeing the ConfigMgr_XXX folder appear in SSRS I'm wondering if there's something preventing SCCM from being able to create it. The message
    "Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.AccessDeniedException: The permissions
    granted to user 'NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM' are insufficient for performing this operation" sounds like the account SCCM is leveraging to perform the install might not have the right permissions in SSRS. Do i need to delegate specific rights to the NT
    AUTHORITY\SYSTEM account in SRS perhaps?

  • ORA-15001: diskgroup "FRA" does not exist or is not mounted

    Dear Experts,
    We noticed the error "ORA-15001: diskgroup "FRA" does not exist or is not mounted" on the 2nd node of our 4 nodes RAC database system.
    During this weekend, we moved our system to a new data center. After the move was done, we were able to bring up the 4 instances around 3:00 AM. However, 4 hours later (7:00 AM), OEM Grid control alerted us with "archival error" on the 2nd instance. From our investigating, we saw the FRA was dismounted. Below is the oracle alert log file (For secuirty reson, the SID is modified):

    ORA-15001: diskgroup "FRA" does not exist or is not mounted
    ORA-15001: diskgroup "FRA" does not exist or is not mounted It is my understanding, that Oracle will automatically mount the diskgroups on the ASM when the instances are started. In our case, all other diskgroups are started OK but not the FRA diskgroup. Is this a bug with FRA where FRA can not be automatically started up after recycling the instance? Did anyone experience the same situation? Can someone advice?
    Thanks!

    Hello,
    We are running oracle 10.2.0.2.
    Which section of the alert log file for +ASM2 we need here? I will paste it here the ones when "alter diskgroup all mounted" started at 3:00 AM all the way upto 4:00 AM on Saturday, Feb 7:

  • [Solved]Unable to boot /sbin/init does not exist.

    When I boot, I get this message: ERROR: Root device mounted successfully, but /shin/init does not exist. This is an installation that was working fine for me before. I went into Windows to free up disk space, and when I booted Arch later, this is what came up. I have already tried using the live disk as a rescue, but I am unable to chroot into it. I have checked my partitions with a live disk and my files are still there. Is there any way that I can fix this without reinstalling Arch? I have a lot of things that I cannot reinstall right now as I don't have access to the internet currently, and I am using my phone to access the forum.

    My bootloader is Syslinux. Yes, I am able to mount the file systems. The partitions are in ext4 format.  I boot from legacy BIOS, as I have had EFI problems in the past.  arch-chroot gives me this: ==> ERROR: failed to setup API filesystems in chroot /mnt. I should have been clear about what I did in Windows. I was running out of space in Windows, and I had some unallocated disk space, and so I extended my Windows partition.

  • Build Question: error 7 occurred at source does not exist

    I have VIs built in LabVIEW 6.1. It works and built well. In LabVIEW
    7, It works well. But when I try to build it. I got error.
    I first use the mass conpile to compile VIs and then build the exe
    with default settings. I got:
    Error 7 occurred at source does not exist
    Possible reason(s):
    LabVIEW: File not found. The file might have been moved or deleted,
    or the file path might be incorrectly formatted for the operating
    system. For example, use \ as path separators on Windows, : on Mac OS,
    and / on UNIX.
    NI-488: Non-existent board.
    But It does not point out which file does not exist.
    Anyone can help me out?

  • [SOLVED] after upgrade : /sbin/init does not exist. Bailing out, ...

    hi, after having upgraded today my archlinux, I cannot boot it. I get the following message : "ERROR: Root device mounted successfully, but /sbin/init does not exist. Bailing out, you are on you own. Good luck."
    The last time the system was upgraded was in june 2013, before the "Binaries move to /usr/bin requiring update intervention" advisory (https://www.archlinux.org/news/binaries … ervention/). So before upgrading I followed the instructions given in this article and was able to upgrade. But after reboot I got the error message I'm reporting here.
    Here is a copy  of the config I'm using to boot arch in grub:
    menuentry "Archlinux" {
            load_video
            set gfxpayload=keep
            insmod gzio
            insmod part_msdos
            insmod ext2
            set root='hd0,msdos7'
            echo 'Loading of Archlinux, kernel v.3.xx.xx ...'
            linux /boot/vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/sda7 ro
            initrd /boot/initramfs-linux.img

    It's now much better. But a lot of errors are reported and the system hangs, but still rebootable with Ctrl + Alt + Del.

  • SOLVED: Mounting IDE ZIP Drives, "Special Device hdb4 Does Not Exist"

    I thought I would post a follow-up, since I have finally resolved this long standing issue, which has plagued me since my first days with Linux many years ago.
    As outlined in my original post below, every time I would attempt to access a Zip disk for the first time since boot, Linux (pretty much all distros I have ever tried, with the exception of SuSE 9.3) would fail to mount the disk and report back that "Special device hdb4 does not exist". Of course the "hdb4" part varies from distro to distro and machine to machine, depending on how your Zip disk is connected and how the distro names its disks, but the basic error has been constant. I have always worked around it by redoing the mount command specifying just the device, not the partition, and while that would always fail, it would force the creation of the device /dev/hdb4, and I could carry on. Annoying but effective.
    FINALLY, a long term answer. I got my inspiration from a really snarky post I read in another online forum where someone had posted this very same question (this is a very common problem with no common answer it seems!). The respondant, who completely failed to provide a helpful answer, basically said "listen, the OS is telling you what is wrong - the device hdb4 doesn't exist - so fix it, and all will be just fine". Of course, the respondant didn't even bother to offer a suggestion about HOW to fix it.
    However, therein lies the inspiration for the solution. Indeed they are right, /dev/hdb4 *doesn't* exist, so how to fix that? They had a point. I started researching the mysteries of mknod, a program that can create /dev files, and the even deeper mysteries of Linux device numbers, both major and minor.
    In the end, I found a wonderfully informative document that described the current standard for the device numbering scheme used by mknod, and Linux in general. The key things of interest are this:
    1/ The major number for IDE based drives is 3.
    2/ IDE allows for 64 partitions per device, so the minor numbers are 0-63 for device "a", 64-127 for device "b" and so on. You derive the minor number of interest for your particular device by taking the starting value of the minor number range of interest for your device and adding the partition number to it. So, for example, hdb4 would have a minor number of 64 (the start of the minor number range for device "b") plus 4 (the partition number in "hdb4"), yielding a result of 68.
    3/ The major number for SCSI based drives, or those that your OS treats as SCSI, is 8.
    4/ SCSI allows for 16 partitions per device, so the minor numbers are 0-15 for device "a", 16-31 for device "b" and so on. You derive the minor number of interest for your particular device by taking the starting value of the minor number range of interest for your device and adding the partition number to it. So, for example, sdb4 would have a minor number of 16 (the start of the minor number range for device "b") plus 4 (the partition number in "hdb4"), yielding a result of 20.
    In my case, Arch seems to be treating all of my disk based devices as SCSI, perhaps because I do have a real SCSI interfaced Jaz drive in my machine. So, the Zip disk of interest in my machine is sdc4 (my real SCSI jaz is sda, my Arch root is sdb, and the IDE Zip is sdc). Applying the above, for /dev/sdc4:
    - The major number is 8.
    - The minor number is 32 (start of range for device "c") plus 4 (the partition number) = 36.
    Armed with this knowledge, I su'd to root and entered:
    # mknod /dev/sdc4 b 8 36
    and like magic, there is was, /dev/sdc4. I popped a disk into the drive and my first attempt to access it was greeted with success, not the usual "device does not exist" error! By the way, the "b" in the above command is just part of the mknod syntax, and indicates that I am creating a block device (vs. a character device, or some other type of device - disk drives all seem to be "block" devices for apparent reasons).
    SO, determine your major number by device type (it will usually be 3 or 8), compute your minor number by device letter and partition number, and add a mknod command to your system startup (so you don't have to do it manually every time) and you are done! No more annoying "device does not exist" errors.
    Now for the kicker. It turns out that this information has been available under my nose all along. I just didn't recognize the code. If you do the following:
    # ls -ald /dev/sd*
    Linux obligingly provides you with the major number and the start of the minor number range for your device. Since Linux has always detected the Zip *device* (just not the partition) this is really all you need to know. When I issue the above command, I get an output like:
    brw-rw----  1  root  disk  8,   32   date   time   /dev/sdc
    Guess what, there they are! "8" is the major number of interest, "32" is the start of the minor number range of interest. If I had just recognized that, and known that all I had to do was add the partition number to the minor number to get the magic number to feed into mknod, things would have been easier.
    Sorry for the long post, but like so many things in Linux, the OS doesn't make this easy on the uninitiated. I sincerely hope that this post may help lots of other people to resolve this vexing and longstanding problem.

    Solved!
    See the lengthy response in this post:
    http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=36468
    I posted the solution separately, with the most informative title I could come up with, so that others Googling this topic on the web may hopefully easily find it.

  • Nvidia module does not exist in /proc/modules

    Hi!
    I compiled kernel with grsecurity from AUR. everything goes fine, and my system boot with a new kernel.
    Only thing i have a problem with, is nvidia module.
    I'm tried to makepkg nvidia with ABS way, but i get errors:
    ERROR: Module nvidia does not exist in /proc/modules
    In order to use the new nvidia module, exit Xserver and unload it manualy.
    I"m trying to do:
    modprobe nvidia
    but i get:

    I get: 2.6.32-grsec-ARCH
    Any help please..

    you have to reboot after installing nvidia because the > 2.6.34 kernel has nouveau and is using the card.

    I've got a test case which creates a table where we'll put a sdo_pc, a block table and then a loading XYZ table.  We then loop a bunch of times and create a PC for each.
    Test case setup:
    create table pc_test (
        id integer primary key,
        pc sdo_pc);
    create sequence pc_test_id;
    create table pc_test_blocks as select * from mdsys.sdo_pc_blk_table;
    create table xyz (
        rid number,
        val_d1 number,
        val_d2 number,
        val_d3 number);
    insert /*+ append */ into xyz (
        select
            rownum,
            round(dbms_random.value(1,10000),2),
            round(dbms_random.value(1,10000),2),
            round(dbms_random.value(20,50),2)
        from dual
        connect by level <= 1000);
    commit;
    Run test case:
    declare
      l_pc sdo_pc;
        l_id pls_integer;  
    begin
        for i in 1..50 loop
            l_pc := sdo_pc_pkg.init(
                'PC_TEST', 'PC', 'PC_TEST_BLOCKS', 'blk_capacity=500',
                sdo_geometry(2003, 2157, NULL, sdo_elem_info_array(1,1003,3), sdo_ordinate_array(400000, 500000, 800000, 1000000)),
                0.005, 3, null);
            l_id := pc_test_id.nextval;
            dbms_output.put_line('PC_TEST id=' || l_id);
            insert into pc_test (id, pc) values (l_id, l_pc);
            sdo_pc_pkg.create_pc(l_pc, 'XYZ');
        end loop;
    end;
    Some of the PCs will create, but eventually it'll blow up with
    ORA-02289: sequence does not exist
    In so far as I can tell, once I call sdo_pc_pkg.create_pc(), Oracle is creating a sequence with a name such as MDPCS_a_1751F$$$.  When it is done creating the blocks, it then tries to drop the sequence.  However the statement to drop the sequence is wrapped in double quotes - so if the sequence name contained any lowercase letters then it will error out when trying to drop it.  The values used between the underscores seem to be hexadecimal - sometimes they're numbers only, sometimes numbers and uppercase letters, sometimes numbers and lowercase letters.
    Has anybody else come across this issue?
    The issue isn't critical as the PC blocks do seem to be created correctly, so the issues are: (a) my pl/sql block errors out and (b) I'm left with sequences lying around.
    For the former I'll catch the exception and ignore it, for the latter I'll just drop the sequences myself afterwards.

    I tried the test on 11.2.0.4.  On that release I get an error during a rename:
