"NI-488 boot error: OpenMarkedDrivers failed"

The GPIB card was working on wednesday, then Friday it was giving me the error "NI-488 boot error: OpenMarkedDrivers failed". I've tried installing an updated driver but nothing works. I don't know if it is a problem with the software or the GPIB card itself

Hi,
What OS and driver version are you using? When exactly does the error show up?.
I only found one (old) reference to this error.

[Unsolved] Kernel linux 3.8.4-1 fails with fsck boot error on raid 0

xanb,
For sanity to prevail, I am going to suggest the following:
Back up your data
Remove the RAIDs from your 2 linux hard drives. The Arch RAID wiki has instructions on this or (my prefered method) wipe your two linux drives with dd. If you are not sure on dd "Parted Magic" has a GUI for it.
Create a new partition table on both of your linux hard drives.
Partition your 2 linux hard drives as follows;
/dev/sdb1 as / (root) with ext4 fs
/dev/sdb2 as swap
/dev/sdc1 as /home with ext4 fs.
Reinstall Arch Linux on / (/dev/sdb1)
I would also recommend reading up in the Arch wiki, Kernel wiki etc on RAID & decide why you would use it on your system & which one would give you any benefit with your current hardware set up. Also learn more on how to create & maintain a RAID on an Arch system.
Keep in mind that KISS is always the way to go with any computer system as complexity will always increase the amount of mistakes & gotchas.
No. I don't want to behave as ostrich, hide the head ;-) This is my configuration, this is want I want. If archlinux fails, we have a bug. Another question is if the triage of the bug is difficult. No all bugs are good for triagging, but it's real life. If always we change the configuration, we will never detect new bugs.
Keep in mind that I don't want to blame, it's always "good force" comments.

Error "Building boot caches on boot helper partition failed" when installing Yosemite

I Have a MacBook Pro 8,3 17" and have been running OSX Maverick 10.9.5 quite happily. I finally decided to bite the bullet and update to OSX 10.10.1. I went through the App Store and clicked install on the Yosemite offered there.
THe install took about 55 mins and then right at the end it reported: Building boot caches on boot helper partition failed, install failed.
now i can't boot normally or restore from my time machine backup.
can anybody suggest a fix?

Install OS X Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.

Hi,
Try the following.
If you don't already have one, use another PC to create a Windows 7 Repair flash drive. Download the relevant ISO from the links below.
Windows 7 32bit
Windows 7 64bit
If you need a utility to create a bootable Flash Drive for this Image, try the free application below.
http://rufus.akeo.ie/
When created, tap away at the esc key as soon as you start the notebook launch the Start-up Menu and then insert the Repair flash drive. Select Boot options ( f9 ), use the arrow keys to select the Flash drive option and hit enter.
Select the 'Repair your Computer' option and follow Option 2 in the guide on the link below to run Start-up Repair – you may need to run this 2 or 3 times.

Steps to do
1) /etc/hosts now reads:
127.0.0.1     localhost
192.168.56.101 demo.us.oracle.com oracle-pc
2) updated java in path /usr/java from 1.5 to the latest version (1.6.0_27) by rpm-deinstalling the old version first and
then rpm-installing the new version.
3) Don't do a simple install.
Instead u installed WebLogic Server 10.3.5 first, than do the Repository creation with RCU, followed by the BI Server software only install
and finally the BI Server configuration.

Yes, I have 2 out of 4 networks interfaces configured. The first, nge0, provides an NFS share for a subnet. The second, nge1, provides iSCSI for another subnet devoted to VDI. Given the BUI available in the 7110 I cannot tell if it is accepting iSCSI on all interfaces or not.
So, if I correctly understand what you mean, if I swap the configuration of those two interfaces knowing that bug that you mention in VDI 3.1.1 it should work. I say this because during the proof of concept I was working with nge0 and everything went fine. However, I understand that more problems are to be expected if I decide to team more interfaces or provide other iSCSI targets on other networks.
You said:
"There is an open bug with 3.1.1, where VDI only knows to talk to the first alphabetically defined network interface on the storage controller for iSCSI comms, which might be a potential cause of your issue."
Please could you provide the specific ID for that known bug. It would be very helpful. Thank you very much for your help.

Installation error Install Failed: Error Domain=PKInstallErrorDomain Code=112

Trying to install an application or "whatever", from a mounted dmg image installer gives this error:
Install Failed: Error Domain=PKInstallErrorDomain Code=112.
A developer I contacted suggested a workaround by disabling/enabling checkmark of "Ignore ownership on this volume".
Is there anyone knowing the reason for this issue and final solution?
PS I already have verified/repaired permissions on boot disk.

Steps to do
1) /etc/hosts now reads:
127.0.0.1 localhost

Error: "install failed mac os x could not be installed on your computer"

Wanted to post an error I repeatedly got in case anyone else out there has the same issue. Went to do a snowleopard (10.6) upgrade and clean install on a mac pro (coming from 10.5). After about the "26 minutes left" mark I repeatedly got the following error:
"install failed mac os x could not be installed on your computer
the installer could not copy the necessary support files
click restart to restart your computer and try installing again"
i searched a bunch for this and could not find any definitive answers or help.
the log file was very vague, referring to errors writing package(s).
at first i thought it was a bad DVD drive as it was making a bunch of noise and taking a long time to boot. So i went and purchased a new DVD drive and successfully installed it. nope, same issue. then i pulled out all of my 3rd party RAM. nope. then i tried swapping the RAM into different configurations, nope.
after many many hours of various methods and re-partitioning, etc, just for the heck of it i replaced the harddrive, and it worked!
So, for those of you out there who get this error, try troubleshooting your hardware, try swapping your harddrive.

You should be able to install Mac OS X 10.7 or later on your 2011 MacBook Pro without issue, if it came with 10.6.3 as your signature suggests. Mind you, any 2011 MacBook Pro must use the original 10.6 installer disc labelled MacBook Pro if it desires to have 10.6 installed on it. The retail installer disc will not work on that model, nor will one from another age MacBook Pro, or other model labelled installer. Also
10.7 came both on USB Flash drive and Mac App Store installer versions. Both required either 10.6.6 minimum be pre-installed, or no Mac OS X operating system on the drive or partition it was to be installed on.
10.7.1 through 10.7.5 combo could be installed only once 10.7 had been installed. A combo update is available for installing on top of any version of 10.7. Otherwise only the preceding version could be updated to the next.
10.8 came only on Mac App Store installer. It is available only to 10.6.8 and later users.
10.8.1 to 10.8.5 combo could be installed only once 10.8 had been installed. A combo update is available for installing on top of any version of 10.8. Otherwise only the preceding version could be updated to the next.
10.9 came only on Mac App Store installer. It is available only to 10.6.8 and later users.
Both 10.9 and 10.9.1 had a serious security vulnerability, which only 10.9.2 addressed.
10.9.2 combo could be installed only once 10.9 had been installed.
For all three Mac App Store releases, the partition to be installed on had to be GUID partition formatted according to Apple Disk Utility.

When trying to install Mountain Lion I get an error message, Failed, recovery can't be created

When trying to install Mountain Lion I get an error message, Failed, recovery can't be created

My Mountain Lion install failed for the following reason:
OS X can't be installed on the disk Macintosh HD, because a recovery system can't be created.
The message went on:
Visit www.apple.com/support/no-recovery to learn more.
The page is about a different failure, but I'm assuming the reason for my failure is this one:
The disk has a non-standard Boot Camp partition setup, in which further partitioning was performed after running Boot Camp Assistant, or the configuration that Boot Camp Assistant created was manually modified.
The cure involves erasing the entire HD and starting from scratch, which in my case would involve backing up both the Mac and Windows sides, setting up Boot Camp again, reinstalling Windows XP and recovering everything from backups on both sides. I would rather not have Mountain Lion than go through all that, and I think it's unfair for Apple to expect me to.
Because I don't recall doing anything off-piste when I set up Boot Camp in the first place (for a start, I'm not clever enough), I consider this episode an inadequacy in the Mountain Lion installer. As I won't be using the download, is it possible to get my money back?

SG500X Boot Code Update fails (Boot Code too old)

Hi,
I wanted to add an SG500X to an existing stack (Native stacked pure SG500X-Stack) and it always fails, all LEDs on, System LED blinking Amber (according to the Admin Guide this is Hardware failure).
The eventlog on the Switch says, that boot code upgrade failed to deploy on the new stack unit.
I tried manually to upgrade the boot Code to the version of the Stack, but it always fails with the error "Boot Code too old".
Current Version is 1.2.0 and I want to upgrade to 1.3.0.03, in the download portal there are no versions between that.
How can I get this Switch working with the stack?
Regards,
Chris

Managed to get this working: Switched back over to image 1 (1.2.9) and updated the boot code, worked like a charm.
Then switched back to image 2 (1.3.5).
Didn't try to add this unit to stack for now, but I think it'll work for now

[SOLVED] Archiso releng: booting (in qemu) fails...

Hello
I'm trying to build a modified live media using archiso. The distant goal would be to create a live PXE server that acts as an installation server for (other) pre-configured linux images.
But now I'm a bit stuck at the beginning...
I tried to follow the Archiso wiki closely to create a modified iso. Using the releng profile and acting as root.
However, even when leaving the profile completely unmodified, booting it (using qemu) fails.
To create the iso I used (acc. to the wiki):
# ./build.sh -v
I don't have the full output anymore, but a big portion is here: http://pastebin.com/LdCrWxEB
It looked okay to me.
Note that booting the official iso using qemu (tested 2014.11 and 2014.09) works perfectly fine.
So, I think I must be missing something - maybe obvious ?
This is the output I got in the VM: http://s16.postimg.org/jfzbm21xh/boot_fail.png
(Sorry for the screenshot, but I can't just copy this from the VM.)
And this is the command I used for qemu:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 512 -cdrom archlinux-2014.11.15-dual.iso
Before this, I copied the iso from releng/out/ to my home and changed owner and group to my user.
Maybe something special is needed to boot it in qemu ?
I haven't tested the baseline profile, but I think that's what I'll do next.
I can see some somewhat similar threads, of people trying to create a multi-boot usb or having problems with UEFI, e.g.:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=188504 (no solution/ I don't understand)
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=157948 (I don't think it applies here)
Thanks
Edit: Using baseline results in the same error.
Edit: Putting the image on a USB stick (using dd) results in the same error as well, so the problem isn't with qemu.

Oh, thank you so much. That fixed it!
You did not posted any boot error [...]
Well, I posted the screenshot ("output of the VM"), because I couldn't copy the text from the VM. And I guess I was too lazy to type... It contains the boot error.
Edit: In order to eventually help people find this, I'm typing the error partially, here:

losetup: cannot find an unused loop device
:: Mounting '' to '/run/archiso/sfs/airootfs'

Boot camp often fails to boot - fix?

Boot Camp often fails to boot at all, leaving the iMac dead at the bootloader screen. Have to force shutdown by holding down power button. Full hardware test declared the hardware 100% functional. Disk Utility and chkdsk sees nothing but fire. This is intermitent/random and it proved impossible to "force" it's occurance. It happen when it darn well please?
First occurance goes back to late July 2011, a few days after a major thunder storm that caused pulsing power blackouts (as in, very short bursts - like turning off the power then immediately flipping it back on - too quick to actually shut the computer down). Surely, this must be the source of the issue? Right? Alas it doesn't adds up. Power supply of this house is very stable and reliable. Power fluctuations are unhearded of. It's also connected to a surge protected outlet. The system itself, in Mac or Win, is flat out stable. It does not freeze out of the blue like what a damaged power supply would cause. It only ever freeze upon choosing a partition via the boot camp interface.
Further observation as compared to normal boot procedure: Upon selection of the Windows partition, the LED on the USB mouse turns off then back on again a short moment later. Windows loads up normally. When the crash occurs, the LED never turn back on. It's just dead right there and then.
What's going on and what can I do to fix this? It feels like some hardware initialisation fails for some reasons. It's ough to be around the USB systems itself but what do I know anyway?
P.S.: Please, don't mention the dreaded format and re-install. It's a 20 hours job. I'm not going there. ty

Why not upgrade the surge protector to a UPS? good units are very affordable.
Put all your sensitive equipment like modem/router, computer, electronics running off UPS.

Well, sometimes if you don't have backups, and refuse to do what you may need to....
There are troubleshoolting tips and faqs I'm sure on the 'net.
Starting with Windows 7 DVD for one
Even OS X won't survive with forced (hard) shutdowns.
If it only happens in Windows, and you were running OS X when the outage occurred...
USB devices and cables can be hard to ID but swapping cables and stuff helps.
As for Disk Utility, it does not look at drive sectors or files for issues.
If you really want to scan a hard drive, use the vendor's own Linux or Windows utiilty to recertify the sectors.
If you haven't done any deep cleaning of files, registry, even uninstall and reinstall components.
I just did a reinstall. Partially to be a test run for when I have to install Windows 8 next week, also to clear up a problem I had, possibly a rogue web site using a rootkit to hide files and icons and programs disappeared and icons became generic. So yes I don't take it lightly, but the new install runs much much better (over two years since last install).
AHT is not a 100% reliable at finding everything, only what it actually is designed or suppose to look for.
A semi-loose DIMM or faulty can be enough, and not likely AHT or Memtest will find it, but Windows does tend to spot a problem with RAM during installs.
CCleaner 3.x
Driver Sweeper 3.x
START: run %TEMP% - Select All and send to Recycle
Lion Recovery - show all hidden partitions and check health of all, hidden debug menu in Disk Utility can be enabled in command line
Some partitions (GPT, EFI, System, Volume Information Block) are only tested during format where each sector does get a thorough check for errors because they can't be mapped out later. When you do chkdsk etc you only test user partition areas and not the 'entire' drive, unless doing a full initialization. And GPT requires that the VIB and also the backup VIB both be error free - in the past the backup VIB if it failed was "optional" though, it is not now.
If you clone OS X then it is easy to move it to another drive and also to do full initialization and restore. If 3 days of your time isn't an option maybe time to invest in program(s) and methods that can backup and restore.
Trying to find the needle in haystack that you have limped along with I guess since July (since installing Lion? maybe ?) can take 3 days probably, unless you are lucky enough to replace a mouse or cable on first step and it all goes away (hit the lottery or get hit by lightning odds)

648 Max Boot Error

Hope someone can help...
I have just built a computer on the 648Max Motherboard.
My problem is, on first boot, the BIOS detects all hardware ok, but on re-boot, it fails after the MSI splash screen to find them and has a "boot error" on each, then asks for a boot disk in the FDD but this doesn't work either.
The "D Bracket" shows all four lights green.
I have checked all the connections countless times, even taken it back to barebone with no luck. I've checked the Hard Drive in an older computer and boot up fine into Win98.
I have no clue what else to try, the system spec is :-
P4 2.4Ghz
684 Max Motherboard
Xabre 128Mb DDR Ram Graphics
2x512Mb DDR Ram PC2100 Memory
128Gb IBM Deskstar 180GXP HDD
TEAC CD-W54E CDRW
Samsung DVD8E DVD
Windows 98SE
Thanks...

Whipsnade...
Yes, i have tried other IDE cables that i know work fine.
Nope, i wasn't able to install windows, the hard drive was taken out of my older computer with it already installed which was working fine, and still does if i put the hard drive back.
All i have been able to do on the new computer is power up into BIOS, that's it...
The PSU i have is a brand new 350W which came with the case.
The hard drive does spin up yes...
Andy2
Yes, the hard drive is set to master and is in the primary connector on the board, its a working drive from a previous system...
Rob454
I've re-checked and i'm using a couple of older ide cables i know are ok, they actually have printed on them "board", "master and "slave"
Thank you all for your help, but i just don't know what to do with it now...

Hi John
Did you check the env variables??
Error "CLIENT_ORACLE_HOME is not set as environment variable"
Define ORACLE_HOME as <drive>:\oracle\<SID>\<oracle_version>
or CLIENT_ORACLE_HOME as <drive>:\<oracle client location>
Regards
Juan
