Refind-efi 0.8.1-1 doesn't boot with custom refind.conf

Recently upgraded to refind-efi 0.8.1-1 and manually ran refind-install.
I usually have the option ¨default_selection "bzImage,vmlinuz"¨ enabled in refind.conf but after some trial and error I found refind wont load the default boot entry with this enabled any more.
I moved
/boot/refind_linux.conf
and
/boot/efi/EFI/refind/refind.conf
and performed a ¨clean¨ refind-install.
If I select the default boot entry, with ¨default_selection "bzImage,vmlinuz"¨ enabled, refind shows the normal boot screen with standard options, but doesn't load the kernel. If I press F2 and select the boot with minimal options (in this case the same as standard options) the kernel boots instantly as expected.
If I use the standard refind.conf-file w/o ¨default_selection "bzImage,vmlinuz"¨ the default boot-entry with standard options works fine.
Anybody able to reproduce?

I suspect so, but would like to see it reproduced before I file a bug towards rEFInd.
\hbar wrote:When you select the arch entry, is the line that specifies the kernel and its version the same whether the default_selection is set or not?
Yep, the commandline options "ro root=UUID=836e34d6-bc33-4044-a337-372a3d240f49 quiet" plus initrd are the same in the "Booting OS"-screen, whether I select the default "Logo"-entry, or specify which options to boot with via F2.
\hbar wrote:What if you set 'default_selection arch'?
Don't think that's supported, and it doesn't work .
I've also tried "bzImage", "vmlinuz", and "vmlinuz-linux" seperately with the same result.
Should I file a bug now or wait until somebody experiences the same problem?

Lenovo Thinkpad T520 doesn't boot with GPT slices on FreeBSD 9-BETA3 - BIOS bug?

Hi!
I've bought a brand new Lenovo Thinkpad T520 laptop and decided to install FreeBSD 9 Beta 3 following this guide.
But when I rebooted the system, it simply doesn't boot (turns out to the BIOS boot menu).
It's even doesn't boot with default FreeBSD 9 UFS-on-GPT installation scheme through bsdInstaller
Changing BIOS (latest, 1.31) settings BIOS Startup->UEFI/Legacy Boot from "Both" to "Legacy only" has no effect. As FreeBSD AFAIK doesn't support UEFI boot, legacy boot should work picking up and starting pmbr (protected MBR record), but it doesn't.
However, FreeBSD 9 UFS-on-MBR installation (with mbr boot record and FreeBSD slice in MBR partition instead of GPT) works fine.
It seems to me that UEFI/Legacy Boot "Legacy" setting actually has no effect if 0xEE type Primary partition entry is present on disk.
First of all, has anyone installed Linux or FreeBSD with GPT partitioning scheme on latest Thinkpads?
And the second one, as I've saw similar problem on FreeBSD forum thread about T420s laptop I believe that this may be a bug in the BIOS. How can I fill the bugreport or send an e-mail to support or developers, as, obvious, phone support can consult only about Windows OS.

Right now I have a MBR-formatted harddisk in the ultrabay with the bootloader in the MBR. Once I get the bootloader off the MBR disk, I can easily continue to boot from my GPT-formatted SSD.
Yes, it seems that it's a BIOS bug at least on T520, T420s and W520 laptops. Even in "Legacy" mode first stage bootloader doesn't execute if partition type is 0xEE (GPT).
Hope Lenovo developers will fix it. They fixed something on BIOS 1.31

K9N Platinum - Doesn't boot with PWR2 connected

Hi,
I've just built a new PC with a K9N Platinum Motherboard (7250 Ver 1.0)
I immediately discovered a problem:
-If I connect to the power supply the PWR2 Molex (the additional power connector on the motherboard, to provide additional power to the video card) the system doesn't boot. Computer's LEDs get on for half a second, then it shuts down.
-If I deconnect the PWR2 connector, computer boots fine.
Bios already flashed to 1.51... no results.
It sounds weird to me. I have an Enermax Noisetaker II 485W PSU, the CPU is an Athlon X2 65W...
Have I got a damaged mainboard?
Thanks for support

Just tried... nothing. Lights and fans turns on for half a second, then everything dies.
I tried to remove video card too, nothing changes :(
sound like somethink is shorted. try take board of case and retry. it maybe dumb question, but are you connect 4pin cable in a right direction?(i know its can be plugged in one way only, but if you use little more force can be done...)

Why EL doesn't work with custom tags ?!

I don't know why expression lang. doesn't work with me.
here's an example, and please tell me why :
--- the jsp page with EL ==> doesn't work :
<%-- In the name of ALLAH most gacious most merciful --%>
<%@ page language="java" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/cartlib" prefix="cart" %>
<html>
<jsp:useBean id="product" class="ch16.cart.ProductCatalog" scope="application" />
<cart:showCatalog productCatalog="${product}" addToShoppingCartUri="<%= response.encodeURL("AddToShoppingCart.jsp") %>" />
</html>
when using expressions instead, the page works .
the new page is :
<%-- In the name of ALLAH most gacious most merciful --%>
<%@ page language="java" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/cartlib" prefix="cart" %>
<html>
<jsp:useBean id="product" class="ch16.cart.ProductCatalog" scope="application" />
<cart:showCatalog productCatalog="<%= product %>"
addToShoppingCartUri="<%=
response.encodeURL("AddToShoppingCart.jsp") %>" />

Other potential things to check: make sure you are getting the right value passed in
productCatalog="${applicationScope.product}"
${product} by preference would take a pageContext, request or session attribute before the application level one (it uses pageContext.findAttribute).
What do you get if you just print out ${product} on the screen?
It should call a toString() on it for rendering purposes.

MBA doesn't boot with Ethernet plugged in /Startup disk ok

Hi everyone
My Macbook Air running OS X no longer boots when the ethernet cable (via USB adapter) is plugged in - it gets stuck at the grey screen. It starts booting as soon as I unplug it.
I have already reset the startup disk, but to no success...
Internet works fine when I plug it in after starting up.
Does anyone have another idea?
many thanks

Yes... disconnect the Shuffle before booting. Your iMac is looking for a bootable system on the Shuffle (really...). It's neither an issue nor a bug, it's the way YOUR iMac works.

Std::list::sort() doesn't work with custom class

The following example doesn't order a list the way I'd expect. Is this being done wrong? Sun Studio 12 (not update 1). Current patches as of Monday.
#include <list>
class CMyClass
public:
CMyClass(long a) : m_Sec(a) { }
bool operator<(const CMyClass* rhs)
return (m_Sec < rhs->m_Sec);
long m_Sec;
typedef std::list<CMyClass*> TLogList;
int
main(int argc, char* argv[])
TLogList logList;
CMyClass* name = new CMyClass(0x4A833E79);
logList.push_back(name);
name = new CMyClass(0x4A85E144);
logList.push_back(name);
name = new CMyClass(0x4A85E66F);
logList.push_back(name);
name = new CMyClass(0x4A85E66F);
logList.push_back(name);
name = new CMyClass(0x4A85B2C2);
logList.push_back(name);
name = new CMyClass(0x4A85D6EF);
logList.push_back(name);
name = new CMyClass(0x4A69F9AD);
logList.push_back(name);
name = new CMyClass(0x4A85DC92);
logList.push_back(name);
name = new CMyClass(0x4A817316);
logList.push_back(name);
name = new CMyClass(0x4A85DEEB);
logList.push_back(name);
name = new CMyClass(0x4A846329);
logList.push_back(name);
name = new CMyClass(0x4A85E39D);
logList.push_back(name);
name = new CMyClass(0x4A85D41D);
logList.push_back(name);
name = new CMyClass(0x4A89CC17);
logList.push_back(name);
name = new CMyClass(0x4A85DC19);
logList.push_back(name);
logList.sort();
TLogList::iterator logListIter = logList.begin();
TLogList::iterator logListEnd = logList.end();
for (; logListIter != logListEnd; ++logListIter)
CMyClass* name = *logListIter;
cout << hex << name->m_Sec << endl;
return 0;
which produces
4a833e79
4a85e144
4a85e66f
4a85e66f
4a85b2c2
4a85d6ef
4a69f9ad

4a85deeb
4a846329
4a85e39d
4a85d41d
4a89cc17
4a85dc19

The program as you wrote it will sort the contents of the list. The list consists of the addresses of CMyClass objects, and after sorting, will contain those addresses in sorted order.
If you want to sort by the contents of the classes that are pointed to, you need to provide a comparison operator that compares the contents, and use the other form of the list::sort function that takes a comparison function as an argument. That is, add the function
bool comp(const CMyClass* l, const CMyClass* r)
return l->m_Sec < r->m_Sec;
}and change
logList.sort(); to
logList.sort(comp); This version of list::sort will not compile using the default libCstd, because it requires member templates in the library implementation. For more information about this limitation, refer to the C++ FAQ section on library compatibility.
[http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/documentation/ss12u1/mr/READMEs/c++_faq.html#LibComp]
The revised code will compile with the optional STLport library, or with other 3rd-party libraries like Apache stdcxx. To use STLport, add the option -library=stlport4 to every CC command, compiling and linking. You cannot mix code compiled for the default libCstd with STLport code in the same program.

Machine doesn't boot with CD

Hi guys I hope you can help!
I have an intel imac, and when it has a cd in it and does a cold boot, it eventually comes up with a question mark in a folder. I'm not blaming the computer but I have previously tried bootcamp as well as the xponmac way. I suspect it is something to do with this and it is trying to boot from a CD on startup. I have already reformatted the drive. it also boots fine everytime without a cd in. can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance.

I tried that, and all seemed fine until today. I couldn't get the machine booted. until I put an OS cd in it and booted again and reselected the startup disk. can anyone help any more? I never uninstalled bootcamp, just nuked the HD. I'm sure I still had this problem. I think its something to do with the boot file

QTP doesn't work with custom SparkList ItemRenderer

I am trying to support our QA department which uses QTP for automation testing. QTP is failing miserably at recognizing custom item renderers for Spark List (and DataGroup too). There is nothing special going on in the custom item renderer. There is a basic Group layout with some labels and buttons. I would like to be able to click on a button inside the item renderer; but, QTP sees the whole item renderer as a SparkListLabel. QTP is not able to recognize anything inside the item renderer.
I know there are custom automation delegates that need to be created for some components; but this is basic layout inside an ItemRenderer. I would expect that to work with out creating custom automation classes to support it.

Well the Hierarchy for 0GLACCEXT is designed in such a way ,am not sure how you have defined the custom hierarchy.
For Insights you may wish to refer below-
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/04/7b95fb42b0f94aba334c0890dbbda4/content.htm
The hierarchy for characteristic 0GLACCEXT is used as the financial statement version in BW queries. To technically enable the particular exception aggregation for contra items, the hierarchy table of characteristic 0GLACCEXT contains the attribute Balance-Dependency of a Hierarchy Node (technical name 0BAL_DEPEND).
The attribute 0BAL_DEPEND can take three different values:
·         Normal aggregation on the hierarchy node of 0GLACCEXT( , default value):
The financial statement item is always either on the assets side or the liabilities side of the financial statement. This is the case for almost all financial statement items.
·         Aggregation on the hierarchy node for 0GLACCEXT is only performed if the balance is positive (1):
First, the system determines the total for those financial statement items that are subordinate to the hierarchy node of 0GLACCEXT. If this total is positive, the subordinate financial statement items are aggregated on the hierarchy node of 0GLACEXT. If this total is negative, no aggregation occurs, and the values on the subordinate financial statement items are set to zero.
·         Aggregation on the hierarchy node of 0GLACCEXT is only performed if the balance is negative (2):
The exception aggregation is performed in the same way as for case 1, except that the +/- signs of the balance are reversed.
Hope it Helps

Satellite L30 10Y doesn't boot with new RAM modules

Hi,
just regged with this forum as I am having a memory upgrade problem.
I have read through a few of the memory problems on here and all users say its a comaptible memory issue. I had Hynix 512MB RAM in my laptop and I purchased 2 x 1GB of Hynix memory both of these are matching sticks to the installed memory but when I installed them my laptop wouldnt boot at all. It would only boot if I had one stick in at a time.
I tried switching top and btm ports and even when one stick was installed it says in XP, Vista and Windows 7 (yes I have tried all systems) 896MB available. I even tried using my other Hynix stick but it only booted and showed the highest stick of 1GB (896MB usable in Windows 7). After reading all the threads I'm just wondering if this is a hardware fault or is there a fix in the Toshiba world or perhaps in the Toshiba world the L series is nearly obselete and not worth the bother to help out the people who unwittingly bought thier merchandise.
I apologise for being a bit down on Toshiba but a laptop which states what it can run and doesnt a company should hold its hand up and say yes there is a fault and help deal with the problem.

You are seeing 896MB because the rest is reserved for the Graphics Card VRAM.
Sometimes RAM can simply be not compatible, due to timing incompatibilities or RAM chip/controller design differences.
What speed and timing is your original RAM?
PCxxxx / DDRxxx =

Re: Satellite A200-1K7 - Doesn't boot with 4GB RAM

Hello,
I am trying to upgrade to 4GB of RAM. According to the manual my Satellite A200 1k7 does support up to 4GB of ram.
However, if I place two 2GB modules the computer won't turn on. Either one of the 2GB modules on it's own works fine but the two of them together won't work.
The power light turns on, the harddisk whirs and then goes quiet. Nothing happens, not even a BIOS screen.
My BIOS is up to date. I am using windows Vista 32 bits.
The memory modules I use are both SO-DIMM DDR2 PC2-5300 667 Mhz.
Please help!

Im not sure but as far as I know the Satellite A200-1K7 has an Intel 943GML chipset that supports 2GB max.
So you should check which chipset you have. For this you can use PC Wizard 2008 (http://www.cpuid.com/pcwizard.php).
If you have an other chipset I think the modules are not compatible and so you need other modules.

yup it was running and I was in Gnome and shut it down properly before swapping the cpu,
now when I turn on the power switch it beeps and the drive spins up then it just sits there
the monitor never turns on.
I wonder if the NVram chip needs to do something to allow the cpu's to work after being swapped
who knows I might keep an eye out for a cheap NVRAM chip and give that world but don't really want to spend much money (the cpu was 14 bucks) on a old machine.

[WORKAROUND] rEFInd doesn't boot new linux 3.8.3-2

Hello!
Today I updated linux to 3.8.3-2 and rEFInd stopped booting. Instead I was stuck with the rEFInd screen (the one saying: booting vmlinux-linux).
Before you ask: Yes, I did copy the new kernel and initramfs to /boot/efi/EFI/arch by doing
sudo cp /boot/vmlinuz-linux /boot/efi/EFI/arch/vmlinuz-arch.efi
sudo cp /boot/initramfs-linux.img /boot/efi/EFI/arch/initramfs-arch.img
sudo cp /boot/initramfs-linux-fallback.img /boot/efi/EFI/arch/initramfs-arch-fallback.img
as I always do.
I solved the problem by starting from a Live-CD and downgrading the kernel. Does anyone know what the issue is?
Any help is much appreciated!

cfr wrote:Are you sure this is the same problem? I thought that issue only affected more recent kernels but I can reproduce this failure with the LTS kernel. I have not had the issue at all with 3.7.* kernels - this is the first time it has happened.
The 3.8.3-2 reported by the OP is pretty recent, in my book. The thread to which I linked specifies that the problem began with certain 3.7.x kernels.
With rEFInd, with both the standard and fallback options for the current kernel, it hangs mid line. That is, it prints almost all of the usual loading line up to "initram" and then stops mid-word.
That's new, and suggests that you may be seeing something else -- either your kernel options are being truncated somehow (probably in a rEFInd bug) or there's a firmware bug that's causing the system to hang while rEFInd is displaying text. (rEFInd uses a system call called Print() to do this, so a hang mid-word suggests an EFI bug.) It might be best to start a new thread for this problem if you want to pursue it, if it's new.
With rEFInd and the LTS kernel, with both standard and fallback options, it hangs in the same place but then a message in yellow is overlaid which says "Error: unsupported while loading vmlinuz-linux-ltx".
The "unsupported" message means that the kernel lacks an EFI stub loader.
If it is a kernel bug, it is in the 3.0.69 as well (but it hasn't appeared in any other current or LTS kernel for me).
Unless it's been patched with a back-port of the EFI stub loader, I wouldn't expect 3.0.69 to boot directly via rEFInd or gummiboot.

Kernels 3.10.6 and 3.10.7 fail to boot with EFI stub

Been using rEFInd for some time now. Current installed version is 0.7.1. Kernels 3.10.5 and earlier would boot without incident. Yesterday I upgraded to 3.10.6 and boot failed. As a workaround, I copied the Liquorix kernel and initramfs from my Kubuntu partition; to my mild surprise, this worked. My next test was to install the 3.10.7 Zen kernel from heftig's repository. This kernel boots fine (I added a version number string to the name of the kernel image and the initramfs so that rEFInd would automatically match them). After that, I enabled Arch testing and updated the Arch kernel to 3.10.7; this also fails to boot just like the 3.10.6 kernel did.
I'm a fan of boot text, so I've configured rEFInd in text mode only. Here's my refind.conf, with almost no changes from defaults:
timeout 20
textonly 1
use_graphics_for
scan_all_linux_kernels
And my /boot/refind_linux.conf:
"Boot to X" "ro root=/dev/sda3 nox2apic nmi_watchdog=0 elevator=noop acpi_osi=Linux pcie_aspm=force raid=noautodetect systemd.unit=graphical.target"

Steve, your picture is far too large for these forums. You are going to want to put it in some kind of a picture sharing/hosting site and link back to it. Otherwise it will end up disappeared (likely via black magic) from your post. I don't think that it provides any useful information anyway. If you want to post your kernel command line that is great. But posting a picture of a frozen screen with no output... doesn't really do much good.
Efistub has been a bit shaky since 3.6 actually. There is a monster thread about this already, the title of which references 3.6, but the content continues on through several kernel releases. Still people continually report this as being an issue. What I do is I keep a normal efi bootloader (one that doesn't rely on efistub) at the ready all the time. My choice was elilo, but since [testing] started including syslinux-efi in the syslinxu package, I have started using that... though I still have elilo set up.
Can you boot with efistub from the UEFI Shell or gummiboot? I prefer gummiboot, but I have had this problem in the past, and when I did, I was able to boot with rEFInd... which was strange. Some people even report that simply having a direct efibootmgr entry in their firmware causes it to magically work. Though there should be to reasonable explanation for this, it was confirmed by several people in the mentioned thread.

Refind-efi 0.8.1-1 doesn't boot with custom refind.conf
