Problem during boot-up process - Anormal starting runlevel 3

Hi
So, this afternoon, I've installed Arch on my desktop.
I have configured Xorg, gnome, all my programs...
Then I have rebooted my computer and it happened something unusual.
So, after the line "Loading keymap "fr"
It appears "entering runlevel 3"
And slim (my login manager does not start [It's installed and present in the daemon line]) and I have to log me in TTY, and when I try to "startx" it's does not work.
Habitually, slim and gnome started normaly.
Need help please !

Hmm
I don't know why, and how it happened but the daemon line of my rc.conf was commented.
That's why the network didn't started...
Decommented the daemon line, It works now
[Solved]

Read-Only Problem during Boot

Hi,
I tried to update my system today, like every week, with the standard command pacman -Syu. After installing all updates, my window manager (gnome3) crashed and i tried to restart my System. After the grub window appeared and I choosed my kernel the normal startup commands are shown until the Arch prompt appeared. The one where Arch Linux tried to start all relevant processes. After that there are only mistakes. All startup processes are busy or failing. The only message i get is, that the filesystem, i think thats the root partition (ext4), is read-only or another error: some files for startup cannot be created because they already exist.
Getting to console is also impossible, because the system tries to start virtualbox additions, with an funny message, that it is busy and tries it again in 5 min (infinity loop). But shidt happens. I have read in another post that I can try another Linux System, mount my root partition and do an
fsck /dev/sda3 -p or -f
. But it says that all is clean (sda3 is root and sda1 is /boot). The filesystem is ext4, so i tried also fsck.ext4, but it also say all is clean.
After another boot i stoped at the position, where the fist error occur.
Mounting Local Filesystems
/etc/rc.sysinit: line 285: /etc/mtab: Read-only file System
next one:
Activating Swap
/bin/rm: cannot remove '/etc/localtime': Read-only file system
removing leftover Files
/usr/bin/find: cannot delete 'var/run/cups.pid': Read-only file system
After that message there are also al lot of analog errors.
I have no other idea than an dirty filesystem. Is there another possibility to rescue my system without an fresh install. Im sorry but i cannot log any messages at that state of boot. So it is not easy to get better informations about special error codes.
I have forget to give you some informations about my stats:
- actual stable arch kernel 2.6.38
- gnome 3
- thinkpad t400

With udev 168-1 I obtain this message during boot:
:: checking filesystems
fsck.ext4: no such file or directory while trying to open /dev/sda6 (my root device)
Possibly non-existent device?
***************** FILESYSTEM CHECK FAILED ****************
* Please repair manually and reboot. Note that the root *
* file system is currently mounted read-only. To remount *
* it read-write type: mount -n -o remount,rw / *
* When you exit the maintenance shell the system will *
* reboot automatically. *
but fsck run manually says it's all clean.
I have to remount rw / partition and manually mount all the other partition, then I can switch to runlevel 3.
With udev 167-2 (and prior) I can boot without any problems.
I'm not sure it's a problem from udev, but downgrading it works for me.

How to diagnose NTP server problem during boot-up?

We're having a problem on our campus network where Macs aren't able to use the time.apple.com NTP server to correct the time during boot-up. Once the user logs in, open the Date & Time pref pane causes the time to be corrected.
I've noticed this problem for quite a while but it's really been just a minor inconvenience. Then some users started using Boot Camp and it became a bigger inconvenience because their Mac time is wrong by 4 hours when they return to OS X from Windows XP. It has now become something that we need to address because we have set up a lab with iMacs all configured with Boot Camp and set up to authenticate off of our Active Directory server, which requires that the time be correct on the iMacs when the user tries to log in.
We'd like to monitor the network traffic on Mac during boot-up to see if we can figure out why this is happening. My person theory is that something that the network admins have the network configured to do when it first sees a new computer is causing enough of a delay in the DHCP process that the Mac doesn't have a network connection when the NTP server call would normally be made. The college has a DSL line that is not part of our network and NTP server time correction works correctly on it.
We're looking for the best way to capture the activity on the Mac and the network traffic at boot-up. Here are the things that we're looking into.
1) Verbose mode - Interesting looking but it goes by pretty quickly and I don't have time to read all of that info. Is this recorded in a log automatically somewhere or is there a way to capture this info?
2) Single user mode - I haven't been able to determine whether the NTP server call should have occurred by the time I get a prompt in Single User Mode. If so, is there a command I could use here that would give me a dump of activity and network traffic up to this point?
3) I have Interarchy which will let me record network traffic but as far as I can tell there's isn't a way to use this feature during boot-up. Am I wrong about that?
4) Someone suggested using Ethereal which appears to require Fink when installed. I can't tell if this will work during boot for if it's an app that I can only run after logging in (like Interarchy). Does anyone know how this works?
Any suggestions would be welcomed.

Turns out it was a network timing issue. The DHCP server wasn't providing the IP address quick enough (never figured out why, though).

Errors during boot OEL 5.5 starting a 11.2 instance

Hello,
I've installed Oracle 11GR2 on OEL 5.5 and a I created a db instance. How I can see why my db instance is not up? More precisely , how I can get errors messages thrown by procedure that start oracle instance during boot process (I am sure that kind of messages is thrown but I can't see them).
Many thanks,
Aurel

Hi;
I've installed Oracle 11GR2 on OEL 5.5 and a I created a db instance. How I can see why my db instance is not up? More precisely , how I can get errors messages thrown by procedure that start oracle instance during boot process (I am sure that kind of messages is thrown but I can't see them).For can see your db up or not u can run :
ps -ef|grep lg
oracle 6750316 1 0 Feb 28 - 0:03 asm_lgwr_+ASM
oracle 9437238 14418146 0 16:06:56 pts/3 0:00 grep lg
oracle 14745644 1 0 15:50:41 - 0:00 ora_lgwr_orcl
So my asm instance and db instance is up
For alert or error message you need to create one sh which is cheking alert.log,if you hit ORA error than it can send u email

Problem during booting the zone

There is the problem:
-bash-2.05b# zoneadm -z apache1 boot
zoneadm: /zone/apache1/root/dev: No such file or directory
zoneadm: zone apache1 failed to verify
after installing the zone apache1 contents of /zone/apache1/root:
-bash-2.05b# ls
lib opt platform sbin usr var
everything is made using the article: http://www.blastwave.org/docs/Solaris-10-b51/DMC-0002/dmc-0002.html
? Thx.

Two questions:
1) Which build are you running?
2) Did you ready the zone?
This article at BlastWave was written within two weeks of Zones debut (he beat me to the punch!).
Since then a new step as been interjected. You should setup your zones in the following manner:
Create the zone like always (eg: zonecfg -z my_zone "create ; set zonepath=/export/zones/my_zone ;
set autoboot=true ; add net ; set address=10.0.0.1 ; set physical=hme0 ; end ; verify ; commit ; exit").
Then install the zone like always (zoneadm -z my_zone install) and wait till it completes. Now you
need to ready the zone (zoneadm -z my_zone ready) and then boot it (zoneadm -z my_zone boot).
Login to the zone ala "zlogin -C my_zone" and away you go.
Readying is a step I don't recall needing to do on older builds, but in B58 onward you must.

Computer Boot Policy Processing Time

Hi
I am troubleshooting the slow boot up process in our Windows 7 64bit enterprise environment. This is essentially the time from power on to reach Ctl, Alt, Del (Log-in screen)
I am trying to eliminate Group Policy and have been doing some investigation using the Group Policy Operational Logs on a couple of Windows 7 Client PCs. I use the Activity ID to track all the Computer Boot Policy processes from start to completion.
My problem is, that the Computer Boot policy will report it has completed in say 300 seconds, but when I examine all the content of this specific process (Computer Boot Policy Processing) it will only list events which add up to a small fraction of the 300
seconds.
So I am basically unsure where the other time is being taken up, as it is not recorded in the list of events under the Computer Boot Policy Processing.
Hope someone can assist

During boot, the system says that the main system board maker cannot be identified

System: HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook, Windows 7 Home Premium
Problem: During boot, the system says that the main system board manufacturer cannot be identified. If I ignore and tell it to continue, it wants to CHDSK. If I skip that, the computer finishes booting and seems to operate normally.
How can I fix this?

Hi Gordoo3,
Can you expand on the hardware you are using (Chassis, Controller, Devices, etc.)? Do you have a MXI connection to your PC? Have you identified the chassis in MAX? Here is a Knowledgebase article that describes this process.

Hi daveormond,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iMac. If you continue to have issues with your Mac shutting down part way through the boot up process, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful (given your description, it sounds like it could be either issue, or a combination of both):

I can only start my iBookG4 after deleting preferences. I have to go into single user mode to do so. If I don't go into single user mode, the computer shuts down during boot up. What might be the problem?

I do not have a startup disk. I did try fsck (based on what I learned from your reply-thank you). This failed (fsck); here is the message:
** Checking catalog file.
Invalid key length
(4, 8198)
** Volume check failed.
/dev/rdisk03 (hfs) EXITED WITH SIGNAL 8.
I am sure this is an easy fix; I just have no clue how.

Problem: An error occured during the uploading process.

Hello! I've searched around but I am having difficulty finding a solution to this problem.
I am trying to upload videos through Adobe Premiere Elements 9 to YouTube, using the preset options in the share tab. This worked previously without issue, but then one day I continually ran into an error stating "Sorry, an error occured during the uploading process. Please try again later." However, it eventually started working. It is now a few weeks later, and I am having the very same issue. I am unable to upload to YouTube or any other service through the Share tab. Even loading the software itself, the opening splash screen is unable to grab my Adobe ID. It never stops "Gathering User Info..."
Steps I have tried:
Going to Edit -> Preferences -> Web Sharing and hitting the refresh button to update settings.
Checked router settings.
Enabled DMZ on router and linked it to this specific computer.
Rebooted PC and router, and tried updating the Web Sharing settings multiple times.
I honestly do not believe it to be a router issue, especially since it is currently in DMZ mode and I have had absolutely no trouble with any other software. This has continued to baffle me though, and finding help is difficult. Searches keep giving me encoding settings for YouTube videos, and few results pertain to this particular issue.
I am aware I could export the video normally and upload through YouTube that way, but on DSL, my upload speed is pretty terrible for a high quality video. The YouTube HD setting has been great for me in the past, as files are small but still look great online. I would really like to get it working again, both for ease and convenience for simple projects.
If anyone has any ideas as to what could be causing a problem, I would be greatly appreciative of any advice. In regards to the project itself, there is no real editing being done at this point, as I am trying to eliminate any possibility of error elsewhere. I opened a new project, added a video clip and went directly to upload it, resulting in the error above.
I don't believe it matters in this situation, but just in case:
Windows 7
AMD Phenom II X4 820 - 2.80 GHz
6 GB RAM
Radeon HD 5880 1GB
Connecting through a Netgear WNDR3400 router, standard DSL connection.

Sorry, not seeing where to edit my original post.
Just wanted to add, that I am able to visit both the Photoshop.com website, as well as YouTube through my browser. So I am not being blocked somehow to those particular sites. It only seems to be through the software that I cannot connect to any of the online services to upload videos to.
Additionally, the only virus software running is Microsoft Security Essentials. It has never raised a flag before with this software or caused interference in the past. I do not use Norton or any other service which are known to interfere with programs often.
Just a quick example as well, pinging Photoshop.com through the command prompt shows I am getting through just fine. As you can see in this image though, it cannot seem to ever connect and grab my user information.

After upgrading to 27, firefox will not start. Saw an error message during the upgrade process but cannot remember.
Tried to run firefox.exe -P but receive error message:

Running on Windows XP SP3. No problem whatsoever before upgrading to 27. Sending this from Chrome as I cannot open Firefox at all.

Thanks jschaer2000: after starting it once in safe mode, I closed Mozilla and tried several restarts in normal mode. So far, all worked:-)
Thank you very much again.
Still the automatic update process bothers me: it took me several days to discover the reason to the malfunction, since when I removed the problematic version from Add and Remove Programs, I didn't pay attention at first that it was another version, not v26 which I installed from my folder.
In addition, I like to save the installation files before I run new programs and if I didn't have v26 exe file, I couldn't have operated Mozilla at all. Not that it was fun to remove and install again each time v27 didn't react, but it was better than nothing, I still prefer Mozilla over its competition.

RV180 (wired only) problems with firmware 1.0.4.14, fails to boot correctly + LAN ports power off during boot (downgrading to 1.0.3.10 = fine again).

Hi All,
A few months ago when 1.0.4.14 was released I was quick to update to this version from 1.0.3.10 but very quickly ran into issues.
Bit of background info... I am not doing anything complex with this box, basic IP4 network over all LAN ports, no VLANs, firewall enabled and allowing 2 port access rules to a static IP address. Any static IPs are assigned manual at host level but all other devices receive DHCP IP addresses. I don’t host VPN on this RV180 but I do with another. Routing VPN has no issues. WAN is connected to another switch provided by my ISP who provides DHCP IP Address with their DNS etc. Only LAN ports 1 and 2 are connected, port 1 to my Wireless AP (AP mode passing all requests to the RV180, DHCP etc.), port 2 connects to a 8 port Smart Switch (but all 'Smart' features are currently not in use, so basic switching only). All other settings on the RV180 are on recommended defaults.
Everything is working fine on 1.0.3.10 but I have all kinds of issues after updating to 1.0.4.14. Here are the actions and experiences I had...
1) Backup my RV180 config to txt file.
2) Navigate to the firmware upgrade page and follow steps to complete the upgrade process from 1.0.3.10 to 1.0.4.14. *router does the normal process of upgrading*
3) RV180 reboots to complete but doesn’t come back up even after waiting 5-10 mins. LAN ports enable during boot up (link lights on) but after about 2mins turn off (no link lights). WAN light is on alongside the Power Light.
4) Power cycle even with rest... Same results.
5) Reset the RV180 to default settings. I can sometimes get the unit to boot up and the LAN remains active and powered up. The web UI is VERY slow compared with 1.0.3.10. Internet sometimes works and sometimes doesn't (I would expect it all work without issue on default settings).
6) I repeat this a few times, various resets, powered off waiting periods, etc. but I always have issues. I did manage to get some log file information and the Kernel appears in the Alert, Error and also the Warning logs (please see attached files).
7) I gave up at this point. No major issues like this reported on the internet from a few google searches etc. So I then reset to defaults (1.0.4.14), downgrade to 1.0.3.10 and finally reset to defaults again + restore backup config settings (with some manual changes).
The router has remained like this and seem to be working fine, but I would like any security improvements from 1.0.4.14 firmware on my device.
Anyone able to help, have the same issue or can advise me in any other ways?
I see 1.0.3.10 isn’t displayed as a firmware download on the standard support page for the RV180 now. Only 1.0.2.6 and 1.0.4.14. Do I need to downgrade again to 1.0.2.6 before upgrading to the latest version?
Regards,
~FAZ~

Hi,
I recently bought a RV180 router and immediately I encountered the same problem; practically I am not able to access the web GUI.
The PC is directly connected to the router, nothing else is connected; the TCP/IP configuration is as follows:
PC: 192.168.1.100
RV180: 192.168.1.1
GATEWAY: 192.168.1.1
SUBNET MASK: 255.255.255.0
Once the router is turned on, the power LED flashes fastly, the Ethernet LED is on but after few minutes it disappears and the PC detects a disconnection of the Ethernet cable.
The router is not pingable and, as I said, the web interface is not reachable.
I have tried to power cycle the router, to reset it (pressing the reset button for more than 3 second and for more than one minute), to access the rescue mode and download a new firmware through TFTP, but nothing worked.
Few times, after many boot and reset trials,I was able to access the web interface and in one of these occasions I updated the firmware to 1.0.4.14 but once the router is powered off the problem arises again at the next power on.
I have not tried yet to downgrade to an older firmware version.
Can you suggest any solution? thank you.
