New mkinitcpio problem

I just updated my laptop with pacman -Syu and I'm getting a kernel panic when I try to boot. The same thing happened when I upgraded another machine, but changing the initrd line in my grub/menu.lst file fixed the problem. However, even after changing my initrd line to read as follows, I am still not able to boot:
initrd /kernel26.img
Here is the exact error message I get when I try to boot:
No filesystem could mount root, tried:
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
Any ideas what might be causing the problem? I have no idea how to troubleshoot this problem. Thanks very much.

How to cache kernel version? Sorry because I ask such noob questions, but I'm not familiar with kernel stuff.
Sigi is talking about the package cache (/var/cache/pacman/pkg/). If you haven't cleaned the cache, you still have an old kernel package.
To boot your system, press
e
at the boot prompt. grub will let you edit your menu.lst. Change the:
initrd /kernel26.img
to:
initrd /initrd26.img
You should be able to boot with the old initrd image.  Once your system is booted, run 'pacman -Syu' and make sure that everything is OK before rebooting (i.e. you have kernel 2.6.18 installed, initcpio image is present in /boot, menu.lst is OK)

  • Problems with new mkinitcpio/0.8

    ok so it worked for a while, but i'm pretty sure that was because the kernel wasn't updated.
    so i had sda sda1 [...] and it worked great.
    then i installed a SATA controller and raptors 10000 rpm sata disk.
    (and tried to make it my main disk after copying over lots of data, which didn't work, but that might have been my own mistake somehwo so just leave it out of this discussion)
    now the computer would boot, but only when using the SATA as backup disk(not bootup disk).
    To recap i basically have two physical disks.
    on the old one i have windows c and d. and linux xfs partition and swap partion.
    on the new one (SATA) i have a copy of my linux partition with all the files, but for some reason this one won't work as a boot partition. (this one is also XFS)
    also grub doesn't let me TAB-complete the device names like i've could sometimes in the past. like /dev/sd[TAB] -> /dev/sda. all i get is a bunch of /dev/loop? files and some other stuff.
    so for now i'm thinking: screw XFS and install ext3 on the new disk then make it my boot disk and hope it works.
    also this new mkinitcpio stuff confuses me. I just want to boot my computer! Can someone provide me some mkinitcpio.conf's that would work with the above scenarios?
    A screenshotguide explaining what happens if you set these and these options in mkinitcpio.conf during the different stages of the boot would help a lot of people i think.
    Right now i'm downloading base-0.8-beta and going to burn it(in windows now) as fast as i can buy some cd's so i can get into my old system and chroot in and fix it somehow, since now it's not even booting at all, even with the new disk unplugged.

    well i would post mine, but it wouldn't be very useful as it's dependent on hardware...
    basically if u don't modify the mkinitcpio.conf then everything should work as normal..

  • Larch 5.3. Kernel panic in produced live media with new mkinitcpio 0.6

    After updating to new mkinitcpio 0.6.x, any Larch 5.3 live media produced, does not boot, but hangs in a kernel panic.
    Perhaps gradgrind, you should have a look at it.

    I don't think I'll have time to look after fixing larch-5 any more. If anyone is desperate to keep this branch alive, please contribute code!
    My next priority will be to get larch-7 working with the new mkinitcpio.

  • [SOLVED]fsck hook with new mkinitcpio.conf

    Last night when I upgraded mkinitcpio it provided a new mkinitcpio.conf file as a pacnew. When comparing this new file to my previous config file the only difference I found was that the new one included the fsck hook. From what I've read it says that this hook is strongly recommended but only gives a reason for it if you have a separate /usr partition, which I do not. I have separate /boot, /swap, /, and /home partitions. Should I include this hook? Does it hurt? Doesn't matter?

    You should have checked the wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mkinitcpio#HOOKS too:
    Adds the fsck binary and filesystem specific helpers. If added after the autodetect hook, only the helper specific to your root filesystem will be added. Usage of this hook is strongly recommended, and it is required with a separate /usr partition.
    I did check the wiki. I mentioned what I had gathered from my reading in my original post, perhaps you should have read it. I then went on to explain that this didn't give much indication for including the fsck hook without a separate /usr partition. So I came here (Newbie Corner) to ask if someone could help me with my understanding, which Gcool was so kind enough to do.

    Hi Heidig,
    Welcome to the discussions and the AppleWorks Forum.
    It's unlikely that this is a "New Year's" issue. The most probable cause is a corrupted preferences file.

  • How do I edit menu.lst to reflect the new mkinitcpio?

    I am a little confused on what, exactly, to edit in menu.lst.
    Where do I put /boot/kernel26.img?
    Do I need to remove  "initrd /initrd26.img?
    Maybe what I need is an example of a menu.lst with the new mkinitcpio image included.

    I didn't add it. I don't have /boot as a separate partition.
    I have a separate /boot partition.  However, I haven't included '/boot' in the initrd reference for quite some time.  Wonder if it's optional.
    Actually having a /boot partition means you don't have to put /boot/ on the front of it. Because your root is the /boot partition and it's not in a /boot/ directory on that partition. The /boot only gets added in your case when it's mounted. So all you need in menu.lst is the partition designation.
    My attempt at a schematic representation follows below:
    (/dev/hda2)/boot/vmlinuz26 - /dev/hda2 is the / partition, there is no boot partition
    (/dev/hda1)/vmlinuz26 - /dev/hda1 is the boot partition, it becomes /boot/vmlinuz26 in the file system only after /dev/hda1 is mounted at /boot

  • Mkinitcpio problem when booting (plymouth not found) [SOLVED]

    I installed Arch very recently, but I'm having a bit of a problem with mkinitcpio. I cannot fully boot into my system.
    It's looking for Plymouth. I looked up Plymouth on the wiki, and it appears to be a graphical splash screen manager. The thing is I don't have this package installed or in my hooks/modules in my mkinitcpio.conf file, so there's no reason why systemd should even be looking for it.
    So I've done some searching for this issue, but I haven't found any threads that could solve my problem. The issue is systemd keeps looking for a binary that I don't have or specified, so I'm wondering what's going on.
    Is this a bug?

    Edit: This has nothing to do with your question, but I noticed you have a /tmp partition.  Do yu actually need a persistent /tmp?  Or did you just do this because it is what you are used to doing?  Systemd includes a tmp.mount file that automatically puts it on a tmpfs.  I actually think it may even override what is in your fstab... though I have not tested this.  If you want to keep your persistent /tmp, you should disable tmp.mount or mask it as well.
    I don't know what you mean... because systemd shouldn't be looking for it. I'll scrounge around in my config files for systemctl/systemd and see if I can find anything.
    Yes, eventually I'm going to use dm-crypt+LUKS, so that the /tmp directory will be encrypted with random data (and possibly tmpfs). Since I wasn't comfortable trying to install Arch the first time, I wanted to make sure I would get it working with GRUB2, GPT and LVM first, so I'm going to do encryption after I get bootup working.
    Sorry to ask but how do I disable "tmp.mount"?
    I am new to systemd, but I've only gotten familiar with Debian's sysvinit.
    I just looked in the systemd page of the Wiki and didn't find anything.

  • New RAM problems with my Dual G4 1.25 MDD

    Howdy I've had my Dual G4 1.25 MDD for 2 years and love it. I got it with 1GB RAM, thinking I was set. For Christmas I wanted to Upgrade the RAM to 2GB. from My PowerMac G4 Manual I knew I needed 2x 512MB PC2700 DDR333 CL2.5 SDRAM DIMM's.
    I went to DealRam (part of DealMac) and found 18004memory.com The price seemed great $39 per stick. I ordered it and within a week got 2x 512MB DIMM's. Problem was it was the Wrong RAM spec. I tried that RAM in my Mac 30 different ways and Everytime the computer either wouldn't boot, or it would suffer Kernel Protection Faults. One time it did boot up but the RAM only recognized as 2x 256MB DIMM's. I called the company, got an RMA and returned the RAM, this time they sent me 2 replacement DIMM's.... for a POWERBOOK, SO-DIMM's. I returned it again and finally Got from them the
    2x 512MB PC2700 DDR333 CL2.5 SDRAM DIMM's. They call it Hyperspeed RAM. Anywho, I powered down let the system cool over night and in the morning, popped it open, put the RAM in the 2 open slots DIMM2/J23 & DIMM3/J20. closed it back up and powered up. Everything was snappier, the boot was quicker and I checked About this Mac, it says 2GB. Apple System Profiler showed all 4 DIMM's and I thought everything was fine.
    Computer ran great for hours, no issues. Everything seemed quicker. Computer went to sleep overnight, next day woke from sleep and Tried to use iTunes and during an extensive sort for Songs, the system Locked up. Nothing would work. Had to force restart. this time I tried to Run my favorite online Game, WoW and after it loaded and I started to play, within 5 mins the whole game locked up. The audio sound went into a sort of Loop, I couldnt force quit and had to force reboot. This happened several times. I finally decided to Run the Apple Hardware Test. The Quick test locked up after running 2mins. I let it sit for 1hr just in case it was still doing something and the progress bar and time never progressed. So i forced reboot, ran Test again this time as Extended test. at 8 min & 31 sec the test stopped and I got an Error Code, this time I wrote it down "2MEM/2/4: DIMM3/J20."
    I guess that DIMM failed. I shutdown, popped open case, and removed DIMM3/J20 leaving the Original 1GB RAM and One of the 512MB Upgrades. I rstarted the Test again and Ran the Extended Test once more. It ran for 27mins & 24 secs and everything passed. So. 1.5GB is better than just 1GB. I powered down and powered back up to try and play WoW. Within 5 mins of loading game to play, everything locked up again.
    So I took both of the new RAM out and left the Original 1GB RAM and ran Test everything was great no Errors. Rebooted, and went onto WoW again and was able to play for several hours. I quit game and shut down for night.
    I have since Tried the 2x 512MB DIMM's in over 10 different variations in the computer with and without the original RAM and everytime I run a high end program or game (WoW, iTunes, and Photoshop), I get lock ups, crashes, and other screen weirdness.
    I dont want to have to Return the Memory again. I am already out over $15 from s/h with RMA's.
    PLEASE Any ideas what to do?
    1 thing I noticed the RAM gets very very hot, when I've powered down tand removed the new RAM. I wonder if there is a cooling issue?
    Anytime I put the Original 1GB RAM in, I dont have problems!

    Hi lz3broc,
    Sounds very much like faulty RAM to me, I'm afraid. I'm not sure about the temperature it's running at, but if the surrounding DIMMs aren't having a problem then I would definitely point the finger at those new memory sticks not being up to scratch.
    If you were convinced it was temperature related then you could always try putting heat spreaders on the memory to help with cooling, but as these stick (semi-permanently) to the RAM then you would never be able to return them.
    My personal opinion is that you should send the RAM back and buy two new DIMMs from Crucial Technology. I only ever buy RAM made by them and I've never had a problem with it - it's the same stuff Apple themselves generally use and works a charm every time. Probably not the news you wanted to hear, but that's probably the only way you're going to get a stable machine with 2GB RAM.
    Hope that helps,
    Andy.

  • Every once in a while when I open my mail or a page I get nothing but strange lines of symbols.  Many of the symbols are black triangles with question marks in the center.  I completely reset it like new, but problem still exists

    Every once in a while when I open my mail or open a page I get lines of strange symbols like black triangles with question marks in the center.  I have reset the ipad2 to new condition but the problem still exists.

    A reset does not make tthe iPad "like new."
    First, let's ensure that we agree on just what is a Reset...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

After slowly sorting through a number of problems transfering all of my back up documents I thought I was all sorted out.  I have been working in LR 5.  A number of photos, but not all,  have the "!" mark.  I seem to be able to work in the development module and export photos without difficulty.  Today was the first time I tried to import new photos into my "My Lightroom Photos" folder which sits on my external HD.  When I tried to import and add a new folder I was prompted "This location is read-only"  Next I looked on my computer HD under Pictures.  There I have a Lightroom folder with my catelogues.  Now I see the catelogues are grayed out. Is this normal? I have been able to back up my work when quiting LR.  I am concerned that the Time Machine backup was not copied correctly to my new HD.  This was the case with my documents.  I had to redue this action by first copying my documents to another ext. HD and then importing it to my new internal HD. 
    Do you think this might be the same problem with the pictures folder? 
    What do I do next?   

    Debra, at least some of your issues relate to red/write permissions on that external drive
    R-click on that drive and then select 'info'.
    Then look for the read/write permissions.
    What you will find is that you currently have read but not write privileges.
    Change you account to have both read/write permission.
    That should sort the import issue.
    You do need to relink those images by R-clicking on them and then anvigating to the appropriate image.
    It may be easier to relink the folders or whole hierarchies if the folders are also greyed out.
    I am not sure what significance the greyed out catalog folders hold but I am yet learning the ins-and-outs of Mac OS.

  • Puzzle Game and new Game Problem

    Hello Java Programmers,
    Once again I have encountered a problem with my ongoing puzzle game. I have completed it all. Now I want my user to be able to start a new game in after they win. I tried repaint and update method with JFrame but it deosn't reshuffle the buttons. How can I do that. The code geos below.

  • TS4611 Guys if you have these build: 12E3200 and your wifi is dropping, is not the your mid 2013 macbook air, is your router, I solve it by setting up my time capsule as a new network problem solved

    Here is what I have been doing:
    I got my new macbook air 11" two weeks ago, and have been haven problems with wifi connection dropping, I'm using verizon fioz at home, and their router
    I also have a time capsule not set up as a network just join it to my current one.
    After looking online all these days, I though, maybe is the verizon device that is updated..
    I then reset the time capsule, created a new network
    connected my system to the time capsule network, and there it is
    DONE, everything works now.
    So if you are haven the same problem,, that is the fix
    hope that helps.
    Oh  before I did these I try everything, the wifi update from apple don't work it keeps dropping it
    I try everything, so don't and delete the system as some people have done, I read somewhere.
    try my fix hopes that works.

    I have seen lots of issues on Yosemite with Wifi (and have been having issues myself), but yours seem different. It is a pretty new computer, have you tried taking it in under Applecare (if you live somewhere this is convenient)? Maybe you just got a defective wifi card.  I won't defend Apple over this wifi mess, because it really is terrible, but your issue seems not the same as the ones I've read about while researching how to fix mine (unsucessfully....).

  • New effects problem on library loops

    My Logic has been performing close to flawless since I've had it. An update installed today and a new problem has arisen that I can not find a way to fix. Whenever the project tempo is different than the loop tempo, for example, when a drum loop in the library reads 120 and I change the project tempo is 85, the loop preview plays at the correct tempo but has reverb and delay all over it which sounds awful. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    That is exactly the same problem I've been having on my iPod 20G.
    1. I've just upgraded my PC with XP, including Service Packs and updates.
    2. Installed the newest iTunes
    3. Imported all music files over from scratch, (did not import old iTunes library).
    4. Installed iPod Updater 2006-01-10 for my version of the iPod.
    5. Installed the new version for the iPod.
    6. Then used the restore feature to wipe the iPod clean and then plugged it into the power supply like instructed by the Updater.
    7. Launched iTunes with the iPod not connected.
    8. Then connected the iPod and created a name for the iPod.
    The problem occurs when the draging created Playlists to the iPod. It starts transferring files and then stops anywhere from 50 to 70 songs into the process. When it freezes, the iPod's "Do Not Disconnect" icon stops flashing and I can hear the harddrive inside the iPod still spinning. If you press the reset combination on the iPod at just the right time, it will reset. From that point I have formatted the iPod and started from sratch three times but it keep freeze around the same number of files. Still happens with different playlists.
    Any suggestions?

  • Bunch of brand new mail problems

    Mail has worked great from day 1 (6/29) until two days ago. I have been getting a fairly constant progress indicator at the bottom of the screen "Sending x of 24" while the iPhone apparently is sending something. When it completes, it signals with the sent mail sound and then at some point may start "Sending x of 17" and the process starts again. I am also getting regular, but not constant, error messages about SMTP server failures with my .Mac account, Earthlink account, and corporate IMAP account. Yet, I had nothing in my Outbox and nothing new has shown up in any of the Sent Mail folders.
    I turned on Airplane Mode to stop the apparent SMTP connections, but the "Sending x of y" indicator continues at the bottom with the little activity indicator next to the airplane icon spinning happily away. When it is done sending, again the sent mail sound plays. Is it really still connected in airplane mode?
    I have power cycled the phone and while in airplane mode decided to try sending two emails through my Earthlink account. The first one was entered but never showed up in the Outbox and not in my account to which I sent it. Message two is still there and the Outbox reads as (-6) messages! Going to the Inbox now states 4294967290 Unsent Messages. Obviously an unsigned long is being used to keep track of the outbox message count.
    So, I just turned off airplane mode and received two copies of each of the test messages I sent. And the "Sending x of 16" is now active again with only 4294967288 Unsent Messages.
    The recent update was applied.

    It sure sounds like something funny is going on. I have come to believe that the mail account configuration is susceptible to some sort of corruption. There have been too many examples of "weird" behavior that is fixed when the accounts are deleted and recreated.
    I would recommend deleting your mail accounts and recreating them, and see if the problem persists.
