Notebook beeps while booting up

After a clean up by tech expert who removed messenger (duplicate) from msconfig and one thing from start up menu,
I installed the latest windows updates. First restart was fine.
Next time I rebooted and heard two beeps after I saw the desktop icons. Rebooted.
Heard one beep. Still hear that beep. Google suggests one beep is normal but I'm not used to beeps.
Old laptop but upgraded with six month old hard disc and drivers by toshiba experts.
Had AVG. Installed microsoft essentials after beep (made no difference).
Am I in trouble or is this fine? Programmes work well. (Famous last words?)

Hi
Notebook beeps while booting because it runs the POST (power on self test)
This is a usual procedure and nothing unusual.
If you mean this beeps then you should not be worried about that this is ok

Hi, I have a hard disk failure so to recover my data I am using disk utility to restore the data on an external drive while booting from a second external hard drive. When I perform the operation it gives me an input/output error and stops. Any tips?

Hi, I have a hard disk failure so to recover my data I am using disk utility to restore the data on an external drive while booting from a second external hard drive. When I perform the operation and after having selected both my destination and source drives, the operation begins but soon fails due to input/output error. If I try to create an image of the drive it gives me the same error message. Any help would be much appreciated.

Disk Utility only creates a image of the drive, so it's no help getting exactly what you want, which is your files. If the file structure is messed up or the drive is failing then it's no help.
If you have a external boot drive and you can't access the internal non-booting drive though the typical Finder and windows to transfer your files via drag and drop methods, then you need to install Data Rescue on the external boot drive and it will do as best as it can to recover your files. (works on non-encrypted/non-Filevaulted drives only)
.Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
Are you sure you have hard drive failure, or that OS X isn't merely not booting?

Battery Error 601 and Notebook will not boot

My notebook will not bootup anymore. It was running fine then I just closed the screen and went to class. Usually this just puts it to sleep. When I opened it back up, it would not start... It was totally dead. When I plug it into the charger, I see a "Pimrary Battery Error" 601 displayed for a few seconds and then it starts to bootup. It never fully boots-up, it shuts off totally before I get past the little HP splash.
When I plug the charger into the notebook, I see the charging orange LED for a little while, but then it switches to white and then back to orange and then totally off. I have tried multiple chargers and it always does the same thing.
Since the notebook will not boot even when plugged in, I am suspecting something in the charging system/main board more than the battery. Is there anyway to tell which components are bad?
This is an almost 2 year old Envy 4-1215dx, Product ID: D1A99UA#ABA
It's been a great notebook upto now... Any ideas on what to check and how?
Steve

Here's a link with an explaination and troubleshooting steps for the error you are experiencing.
HP Battery Alert
You can also try a Hard Reset in order to get you PC to boot long enough to run a diagnostics.
Hard Reset
You may also try with the battery removed and just the AC Adapter.
If nothing seems to work you can always try a new main battery since they usually are fairly inexpensive. Just Google the Part# shown on your battery.

Random kernel panics + occasional 3 beeps on boot

Hello,
Our late 2013 iMac 21.5" is experiencing some very random crashes at this moment.
Right after upgrading to Yosemite the problems started, however they proceeded after multiple complete fresh installs and also after downgrade to 10.9.5.
My feeling is that the timing was coincidental.
The kernel panics mostly occur while the computer is just being on, not used, what software is running doesn't seem to matter. It also happens when there's nothing running at all. Strange thing is that it doesn't seem to happen when for example World of Warcraft is running.
Most of the time the computer reboots fine, occasionally it gives 3 beeps on boot. After pulling the plug from wall socket and plugging back it it boots fine again.
I've ran Rember and that doesn't find any memory problems.
Since we are 2 weeks outside of our warranty it's really annoying and I'd like to solve it.
Can these problems be cause by bad memory? As said, Rember say's the memory is fine...

Well, left it idle this morning to see what would happen...
A multitude of kernels and other crashes was the result.
A few of the logs:

Error while booting maverick

error while booting maverick

The most likely causes of this error are:
1) Failing to execute tmloadcf after updating the UBBCONFIG file.
2) Failing to set TUXDIR correctly in the UBBCONFIG file.
3) Failing to set TUXCONFIG, PATH, or
LD_LIBRARY_PATH(Unix)/SHLIB_PATH(HP)/LIBPATH(AIX) correctly in your
enviroment.when executing tmboot or tlisten.
You should verify that your environment is set correctly and you should
execute tmunloadcf to see the contents of the configuration file that has
been loaded.

[SOLVED]LUKS error while booting

This is more of an annoyance than a real problem; however it would be nice to know what is causing this. I have an unencrypted root (/dev/sda3) and two encrypted partitions. While booting I get the following message:
ERROR:Failed to open encryption mapping: The device /dev/sda3 is not a LUKS volume and the crypto= parameter was not specified.
However despite this the root is mounted correctly and the boot process follows normally. My two encrypted volumes also mount correctly. I checked my /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/grub.cfg and didn't see anything that might be giving it the idea that my root partition is encrypted. Am I missing something?
Thanks,
musashi.

you probably have "encrypt" in your HOOKS array in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf .
remove it and rebuilt your initramfs with "mkinitcpio -p linux"

Getting BSOD error while booting

Hi,
I am getting BSOD error while booting using bootable pendrive.
Could you guys please provide the possible solution
Regards,
Chandan

Hello,
To troubleshoot the issue, you need review the dump file. We may find out the which file or driver is triggering a BSOD. And in most cases, BSOD is triggered by driver issue.
Are you doing OS deployment via bootable pendeivce? How do you created the boot image?

[SOLVED] Error while booting, related to nilfs2

I've just installed my fresh Arch and used nilfs2 inside vlm2 as my home partition. While booting, I'm getting these errors:
fsck: fsck.nilfs2: not found
fsck: error 2 while executing fsck.nilfs2 for /dev/mapper/TheVG-HomeLV
Other logical volumes are getting "clean" output while checked so it's not vlm-related; they are all ext4.
Partition is mounted and seems to work but I'm scared of just ignoring it and creating my user. ;-)
I have nilfs-utils installed. Is there any hook or module I need to add somewhere in order to use nilfs2 properly (like reiserfs hook)? There is nothing in the Wiki about this file system...
Edit: well, it appears that nilfs doesn't not come with check utility so I'm marking this as solved; sorry for garbage post...
Last edited by smsware (2013-03-16 22:07:55)

As there is no fsck utility and as it actually is planned to be created (I read that it's needed because the fs can easily crash on power loss; still, it can be recreated, as you stated) - there is a warning while building the kernel. I deleted fsck hook to not see it as my /var and root are sub-volumes of btrfs partition which doesn't need fsck as well. I made a service to umount, fsck and mount back the /boot (ext4) and uefi partitions... just to let you know what you can expect. But it's great anyway, snapshots are really easy to mount and use. I thought it has no wiki page because it's not popular (and probably for a reason) but now I believe it's because there is nothing to write about... it just works. ;-)

udev is actually after base. I'm going to try linux-lts now, I'll let you know, and obviously thanks for your help
EDIT: using lts kernel, I rebooted 5 times and everything works fine, no error message at all

"udev" should be after "base". For example:
HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata usbinput filesystems fsck"
Then regenerate your initramfs:
# mkinitcpio -p [your linux preset, since you're using linux-ck... I don't know]
For the kernel from the [core] repo, it's:
# mkinitcpio -p linux
Speaking of kernels, does it happen with linux-lts too?

Without knowing what you have installed or what modifications you have done it is not possible to say what goes wrong. Like I previously mentioned, you may have installed an incompatible version of a core system library. Sorry, I'm not going to read any installation manual to find out what you might have done wrong. You may need to reinstall the complete system or just the popt installation package.
Based on my experience people sometimes seem to misunderstanding the concept of software version requirements, which are always minimum version requirements and does not mean, for instance, software made for gcc 4.1.10 does not work under 4.1.12. You cannot simply upgrade or downgrade core system libraries without affecting the installed system. Using YUM to install software will check this and prevent you from breaking your system. RPM does not check any dependencies and hence can break your system beyond repair.

Installing Arch Linux on USB key: error while booting

Hello,
first of all, I must say I've followed the steps from this article on arch wiki to install archlinux on my USB key: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … _a_USB_key
So what I did is to use one of my 2 usb keys to INSTALL linux, and the second one to RUN linux. I used dd to write on the 1st usb, eveything worked fine when booting, then I do install arch on the my second usb following the stept from the link above, everything works until I get this error while booting (at the middle):
Waiting 10 seconds for device /dev/sdc/
Root device '/dev/sdc' doesn't exist. Attempting to create it.
ERROR: Unable to determine major/minor number of root device '/dev/disk/by-uuid/lotsofnumbers'
You are being dropped to a recovery shell
Type 'exit' to try and continue booting
/bin/sh: Can't contact tty; job control turned off
[ramfs /]#
To summarize I'll show you my conf files that could help you to resolve my problem:
/etc/fstab.conf
/dev/sdc1 /boot ext2 defaults 0 1
/dev/sdc2 / ext3 defaults 0 1
/dev/sdc3 /home ext3 defaults 0 1
So here I've sdc1 boot 32MB partition; sdc2 root 3GB partition; sdc3 home 978MB partition for a total of 4GB USB key~
I didn't make a swap partition as in the tutorial they are writing it's unnecessary for some kind of reasons.
/etc/mkinitcpio.conf
HOOKS="base udev usb autodetect pata scsi sata filesystems"
I've added to here, "usb" to the hooks
installed GRUB on my sdc, here is the menu.ist:
# (0) Arch Linux
title Arch Linux (USB)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sdc ro vga=773
initrd /kernel26.img
So, I boot GRUB without problems, start Arch Linux, but then I got this error above.
I've searched alot on some forums and read many stuffs, but sitll can't fix it and it seems complicated.
I've tried to boot with UUID, also, but didn't make difference. I tried to remove some parameter from the hooks, but unfortunately this wasn't working still. I've read somewhere to use chroot, but I didn't catch on how to do that and what was the use of chroot, I'm still noob user of arch linux and currently learning. Maybe it's the problem, as some forum were talking about creating a new image, but I still don't know how to make it. By the way, I'm not sure this could have fixed my current problem. I've also read somewhere it could be due to my lack of space, but I wrote you how I did partition my USB key, let me know if you have any suggestion please.

1. What I did is re-installing entirely from my installation disk or USB to test out different setting in my config files, because I don't know how to edit my .conf as I can't really finish to boot to the end and get in terminal mode? If there is a quicker way to edit files from any terminal to go into my current USB sdc to modify directly my file from there, I'd enjoy probably. So rebuilding the initpio, no, I just re-installed to test out different configs.
2. Yes, same error.
3. Tested out by-id/by-path and uuid = no difference
4. Didn't know about larch, it seems to be a nice tool, I'll check it out
