Rc.sysinit hangs at fsck check when sdb gets mistaken for sda

I've recently started having this problem where booting gets stuck at "Checking Filesystems", seemingly at random, when my boot drive gets assigned to sdb. Sda is SATA (/, /home), sdb is IDE (backup). Grub2 and fstab are using UUID (and have always used them).
The only thing I can do is press the "Print Screen/Sys Rq" key to instigate a reboot (fsckret=131).
Can anyone point me in the right direction please? It's driving me bonkers now!

I don't want to appear rude but did you read what I wrote? I've never used sd* device naming.
Edit: Let me be more specific... This is what should happen
Apr 11 21:37:10 arch64 kernel: sda1 sda2 sda3 sda4 < sdb1 sdb4
Apr 11 21:37:10 arch64 kernel: sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI disk
Apr 11 21:37:10 arch64 kernel: sda5 sda6 sda7 sda8 >
Apr 11 21:37:10 arch64 kernel: sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI disk
But for some reason [sda] and [sdb] get switched on about 50-60% of boots.

What should I check when I get my notebook?

hi, I'm buying my mac book pro in about 2 weeks and I would just like to know what I have to check when I get it.
whine noise? heat issue? (how to check it?)
any others?
by the way, I have an imac G5 rev. B.
it has a bit of "whine" as well. not sure if it is called whine, but I'm fine with it.
Is whine on the mac book pro very similar?
thanks!

so as soon as i turn on the computer, I should hear
the whine if there it is there right?
Well, not necessarily. First, if you use something CPU intensive or if it's plugged to power, there is no whine. Second, my MBP started to whine three days later, some started 3 weeks later, some had it right away. It's all chancy I think.
i know that
some say by dimming the light, you can tell as well,
are there any others?
If you have the screen the screen buzz (which is unlikely now) you'll hear it at all screen brightness but completely off or at its max. If you ever hear a buzz/whine, you can test by dimming the display: If it goes away, you have a faulty inverter. If the whine/buzz is insensitive to display, you can launch photobooth: if it goes away when photobooth is on, you have the so called "CPU" whine.
as for the heat problem, how do I know if there is
something wrong with it? all mac book pros are hot
right?
Well, it's true that MBP runs on the hotter side and it's normal that you can't touch sometimes (say when you're playing games) the area above F keys. But if you feel extremely disturbed by the heat to the point you can't rest your hands on it when you're just surfing the web, then you might have a problem. But everybody has different tolerence for heat, so it's hard to ***** it. If you feel that it's ridiculously hot, you can do the resetings, calibrating and the firmware updates, which seem to work for some people.
Hope you'll be a happy MBP owner!!

RBA GATP check is not getting invoked for Sales Order

Hi Everyone,
RBA GATP check is not getting invoked for Sales order.
I maintained the configuration settings for 'Rules-Based Availability Check', APO general settings (check mode, check instruction), carried out integrated rule maintenance, Rule determination for the combination of order type & product, associated the check mode to product master. Also maintained all the settings in ECC towards Req class, Req type, checking control etc.
However, sales order is not invoking RBA Check though it is showing up the 'Rule' icon in the screen. Also, in the APO Availability check in Sales order when I click onto 'check instruction', I get the checking mode that pertains to RBA for business event 'A' (Sales order). Though I have not maintained any stock for the main material for which I have the sales order, yet system is confirming any quantity that I put in.
I would expect that system would propose the same material in an alternate location where we have stock through RBA.
Request you to share ideas on this.
Regards,
Avijit Dutta

Hi Avijit,
You should used No Checking Horizon in Checking instructions and also Check your rule control settings.
What you have defined in 1st and 2nd steps. Check whether product substitution is carried out or Location Substitution.
Thanks,
Bala.

How does Firefox handle xml:base when generating GET requests for SVG image elements?

I am loading an SVG image at the following URL:
http://localhost/howl/svg/id/543
The source for this SVG code is:
<svg xml:base="/howl/">
<svg width="535" height="325" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
<image xlink:href="file/id/532" />
</svg>
</svg>
As you can see, the SVG code is located at one path, but the <image> is relative to the root, hence the wrapping xml:base attribute.
The actual requests in Firefox, according to Tomcat Logging are:
GET /howl/svg/id/543
GET /howl/file/id/532
However, Firebug's Net tab shows these requests:
GET /howl/svg/id/543
GET /howl/svg/id/file/id/532 (Incorrect, doesn't happen)
GET /howl/file/id/532
When I test the same thing in Safari and Chrome, all three GET requests actually happen, the incorrect one resolving in a 404.
I suspect that Firefox is generating all three requests, but discarding the incorrect one and Firebug is not aware of this. As a result, Firebug shows all three requests, but the incorrect one never resolves.
So, I'm curious about the behavior or whether I am doing this incorrectly.
Thanks!

When you get Gamecenter for this can u watch live games(NHL)

i was just wondering that
once you get the nhl game center app and you watch live games?

You can, but you have to pay a subscription to NHL to watch the games live.

When I reboot, it hangs on fsck, although disk reports no errors.

I have a 2011 iMac running lion. When I reboot, it hangs on fsck. If I boot in single user mode, fsck -fy runs with no errors. If I boot from the recovery disk and run disk utility, it also yeilds no errors. This only happens when I reboot normally.
Any Ideas?

Try to look in this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4831564?start=0&tstart=0
I had the same problem, and the solution was deleteing /var/folders. In general it is instructive to follow the source code of launchctl, and see the different steps that it takes during boot.

MSI KT6V won't boot, won't go to bios setup, hangs at memory check.

Hey guys.
I made the mistake of buying his motherboard from a mom and pop shop on a Saturday afternoon right before they close (not open today for support :/ ). I've checked the forums for a similar issue and it looks like mine may be unique. Without further delay, here's my problem:
So I decided to upgrade from an intel p4 2.4 HT to an athlon xp 3000+. I got a new CPU chip and the mentioned KT6V motherboard. I brought over my 1 gb of DDR400 ram from the p4 system. I hooked all of my drives (HDD, cd, dvd) and hardware components into the new system. Everything seemed to be looking good. But, then it gets to the memory check screen. It looks like the ram is okay, but it doesn't seem to want to locate the hard drives. I'm not certain on this though. It says that it found the 1 gb of ram with 3 ms (or is it ns? Not sure) latency.
Now, I spoke to an IT guy from my work and he said it is probably be the ram. I borrowed some of his DDR266 CL2.5 ram that he used in his wife's computer. The same thing happened...the system just hung.
Before I go on and give you my complete system specs, here's what the screen looks like when it hangs before it tries to boot. The 'American Megatrends' screen and logo pops up and as I mentioned, the ram info shows up with an 'OK' next to it (which leads me to believe it's not a ram issue, unless the motherboard is lying to me). Below that information, some options pop up for me to hit DEL to go to setup, ESC to skip memory check, and some other options for F10, F11, and F12 (I remember one of the settings was for boot with network). At any rate, none of these options work. If I hit the delete key to go into setup the DEL text is overwritten with 'OK-->' text so it looks like this: 'DEL: Setup' to 'OK-->Setup'. So that tells me that the system hasn't locked up. Now, the system hangs there but if I then try to hit F12 for Network boot, another 'OK-->' shows up next to that option. No matter how long I wait, nothing happens (I let the computer run for 1 hour last night hoping it'd just eventually go into setup with no results).
I've tried disconnecting my SATA HDD, my IDE HDD, my CD/DVD drives with no results. I've tried switching memory sticks, trying only one stick (I had 2x 512mb DDR400 ram and 2x 256mb DDR266 ram) to see if maybe the motherboard just doesn't like 2 sticks of ram. Again, nothing. So, I'm pretty much out of ideas.
Here are my system specifications:
CPU: AMD Athlon XP 3000+ (not sure of FSB, it's not on my receipt...came installed on my mobo)
RAM: 2x 512 mb DDR400 CL3.0 and 2x 256 mb DDR266 CL2.5 (testing purposes)
Videocard: Nvidia geforce 6600 GT 128 mb AGP
HDD1: Seagate Barracuda ST3160023AS 160GB Hard Drive (Serial ATA-150, 7200 RPM, 8MB)
HDD2: Western Digital IDE 100GB
CD drive1: Generic DVD-Rom drive
CD drive2: Generic DVD-RW drive
Let me also note that the guys at the shop made sure to take 30 minutes to update my motherboard's bios and test everything out (with THEIR components, not my old system's guts). So apparently everything works, but the motherboard doesn't seem to like some of my hardware. If anyone can shed some light on this subject, I'd greatly appreciate it! Otherwise I guess I'll just have to wait until next week to get it figured out.
If you need anymore information that I may have left out, please ask!

Well, Blazing Storm, I took your advice. Everything is finally setup and working on my new computer now and seems to be working great...BUT, in 3d games, after an hour or two of playing, my computer might randomly lockup and restart. So, I'm assuming it's either my ram being strange or the power supply. My bet's on the 2nd one, especially after what you guys are saying.
So I ended up buying this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/PoWork-550W-Max-ATX-Power-Supply-w-SATA-Cable-Fast-Ship_W0QQitemZ6799810302QQcategoryZ3670QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
It has some pretty good looking power settings as you guys have suggested, so I decided to get it. Hopefully this'll solve the crashing problems I've been having! Thanks again guys.

Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.

Importing from another catalog hangs up at "Checking for changed duplicate photos" in LR 4.3

Importing from another catalog hangs up at "Checking for changed duplicate photos" in LR 4.3.
I went on a vacation so exported a subset of my main LR catalog on my PC so I could do some work on my laptop. I added some new photos and also editied some olde ones.
Now that I am back home, when I ty to Import from the smaller catalog into my Main Catalog on my PC, the Import from catalog process gets immediately stuck on the step "Checking for changed duplicate photos.'
How can I work around this?
Is this a new bug in 4.3?
Thanks.
John

Yes, the catalogs were optimized, but...the master catalog on my desktop is
HUGE. I mean...really, really, HUGE.
So, that probably explains the very long time it took?
But...I was confused at first, and really did think that LR was 'stuck'
while importing from the smaller catalog and "Checking for changed duplicate
photos".
Next time, I'll just be more patient.
And...in the end, everything went as it should, and I now have all my edits
and new photos incorporated into my HUGE catalog on my desktop.

Power Mac g5 hangs on boot up when hot

My Power Mac G5 hangs on boot up when hot, such as after I have been using it a while. It won't get through the boot up process and I have a blank (dark) screen- no picture. Sometimes the little Mac chime sound doesn't even complete, and it quits abruptly 1/2 way through the sound.
Once the machine cools it does start... at least so far.
Any thoughts?

Any Extra Ram, Extra Peripherals, Aftermarket Video Card?
Will it boot with a CD?
When was the last time you checked the RAM in "About this Mac?"
Can you monitor internal temps thru software ?
Possible bad ram, bad power supply, bad video card.
Try removing an extra add-on components and see if that helps.
Also, I've found startup freezes can corrupt HD start-up files badly.
Just had similar issue in my single processor, ancient 1.6 Gig G-5.
Bad Radeon Card. Put the original back in and it works fine.
Google "G-5 Power Supplies" and check out the information....known issue.
Good Luck
