Snapshot boot with TuxOnIce?

Hi,
Is it possible to snapshot boot with TuxOnIce? That means, to have a image of booted system and "resume from hybernate" each time instead of normal booting. When i boot → open xterm → hybernate → resume (without anything opened), resuming takes about 5 seconds. But when I tried to make snapshot and then boot from it, I had some issues with root filesystem (I created a file and on next reboot it disappeared). Is there some solution? Eg. forced remounting, creating small boot-only filesystem and then chrooting? Or something else? Can I even make a snapshot boot? (Poor Windose 8 (R) (TM) (C) will have this, so why Linux won't?)
(Me English speaks great not )

Dual Booting With Windows 8?

So, I found this guide: http://www.neuraladvance.com/2012/11/17 … -uefi-lvm/. While I've ran and used Arch before a few times, it's been a while.
The problem is that the guide decides to use the Windows 8 partition itself to install Arch; what I would like to do is use my own partition for Arch, making it as independent as possible from Win8, and both booted with Grub. I've already wiped everything and reinstalled Windows 8 first, however I'm a bit confused as to how to properly setup a UEFI partition. Period. Are there any good guides on how to do this? The Dual Boot article on the wiki, unfortunately, wasn't very helpful in my case.
While I have the latest snapshot already on USB, it doesn't boot properly, not allowing access to /dev/tty (i.e., I can't do anything). Also, I unfortunately can't use GParted Live since none of my DVDs are rewriteable; they've already been used up over the years. So, if anyone has any suggestions on how best I can approach this (or good resources which are to the point; i.e., not too much details to wade through), it would definitely be appreciated.
Thanks.

By "the Windows 8 partition," it appears that you're referring to the EFI System Partition (ESP) that Windows created -- /dev/sda1 in the referenced guide. I've only skimmed the article, but I didn't notice any reference to using any actual Windows partitions in it. Note that the ESP doesn't really "belong" to any one OS; it definitely is not a Windows partition. It is, as its name suggests, a partition that "belongs" to the EFI. It's meant to be shared across OSes.
That said, if you really want to, you can create multiple ESPs. This is legal according to the EFI spec. Unfortunately, it can cause problems, since the Windows 7 installer gets very confused if it sees multiple ESPs and an installation of Windows 7 will fail. I don't know if Windows 8 has the same problem, but if it does, and if you find that you need to re-install Windows, having multiple ESPs will complicate matters. Thus, I generally recommend sticking with one ESP per disk if at all possible. Be sure to keep it backed up in case some ill-behaved program trashes it, though.

i have now a question , what happens if i boot with win 8.1 boot able DVD and install a new windows ?
the main questions are :
1. does it recognize any of my partition to select for windows installation ?
2. if no , can i format any partition for new partition during windows installation?

Give your previous partition layout, you cannot install Windows via Bootcamp, unless you are willing to give up all your extra partitions and go back to EFI, OS X and RecoveryHD only configuration.

1. Windows installer will not work and you will end up with driver issues.
2. No.
3. You cannot, but if you could, the Apple Bootmanager would be your Boot Manager/Loader.

K8N Neo fails to boot with more than one DIMM

I have been searching the forums for a while now, and will continue, but I am really hoping for a quick resolution. My system was running fine for over a year with a pair of PC3200 512MB DIMMs. I normally leave my computer on all the time. Recently I updated my BIOS to 2.10, and the system performed a soft boot afterwards. Christmas Eve day I knew I was going to be gone the whole day and probably not need my computer until late on Christmas day. I received a very unpleasant surprise.
I attempted to boot the computer up, and I got nothing but a repeating single long beep. I did a lot of troubleshooting and discovered that the system will boot and run fine with ONE DIMM, either DIMM. My system will no longer boot with a second DIMM in either the 2 or 3 DIMM slots. This is a major bummer for me, please help.
I have not played around much with memory timings and such as of yet. It is quite a pain to put in a single DIMM, and boot the system to make a BIOS change then shut it down again and install the second DIMM to see if it works.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Scott

Go back to your previous BIOS.

MacBook Pro won't boot with new hard drive, but a different MacBook Pro will

So here are the details. My friend and I both have 13-inch Mid 2010 MacBook Pro's. Same processor and specs since they were purchased at the same time, but originally had 250 GB hard drives. His hard drive failed and needed a new one. Put a 500 GB Seagate Momentus 5400.6 in his computer, and tried using a flash drive with "Install OS X Mavericks" on it to install Mavericks on his new hard drive. No matter what, it wouldn't install. I finally was able to install OS X 10.9.4 on it by connecting the new hard drive to my computer with a USB hard drive enclosure. I put the hard drive back inside his computer and it wouldn't boot (stuck on the gray screen with apple logo and a spinning wheel). I then attached to the hard drive to his computer externally with the USB enclosure, and then it booted and worked perfectly.
So, it seemed like the problem was with something inside his computer, but then I switched our drives, and that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. I put my original hard drive into his computer, and his new hard drive into my computer, and they both booted and worked perfectly, so I have no idea why his computer will not boot with the new hard drive internally.
To summarize, his computer boots with: 1) new hard drive connected externally (won't work if it's internal), and 2) my hard drive internally
but my computer boots with: 1) new hard drive connected externally AND internally, and 2) my hard drive internally.
Both hard drives have OS X 10.9.4 installed
If anyone has any idea what's causing this and how to make his computer work with the new hard drive internally that would be greatly appreciated.

So after switching the internal SATA cables from each computer, now we have
His computer, with my SATA cable:
1) Worked with every hard drive!
My computer, with his SATA cable:
1) Works with 1 TB Toshiba hard drive
2) Works with 500 GB Seagate hard drive
3) Works with my original hard drive
4) Flashing folder with question mark with his old hard drive
So it turns out you were right! Definitely had something to do with the SATA cables. But it's still strange that mine was able to boot with all the hard drives except the one that was originally in his. So it seems like it was some combination of his SATA cable and something else, since when his SATA cable was in his computer only 1 hard drive (my original) worked, and when it was in my computer, 3 hard drives worked. But at least its working, and I'm just gonna keep our SATA cables switched since that seems to work out fine

Z68A-GD55 G3 -- how do you get it to boot with 4 DIMMs installed?

Howdy folks,
I am really hoping that someone here can enlighten me on this magical BIOS setting that allows you to boot this unit up with all 4 DIMM slots populated? I have scoured the dark corners of the interwebz trying to figure this out and it completely eludes me, I even read the manual cover to cover... all I can find is a couple posts where people have updated the bios or went into the bios and changed a setting allowing them to escape the reboot loop that I get with all four memory slots filled.... the unit boots just fine with two DIMMs installed and it doesn't matter which two... I found this on a post but nothing else:
"One more thing, it wouldn't boot with four RAM-sticks out of the box, but it worked fine to start with only 2 RAM-sticks and use F1 to change bios-settings. After doing it that it had no problem with 4 RAM-sticks."
Take from: Google search "Z68A-GD55 megathread" since I can't post external links, the author of the article is "the Squonk"
Any one encounter this before?
Thanks in advance,

HP Envy 700-430qe DT CTO - - - Trying to dual boot with Windows 7

HELP HELP HELP
I know how to set up double boot for several different HP computers, based mostly from what I have learned in this great forum, but this one has me stumped.
I have been trying to install Windows 7 on this computer to double boot with Windows 8.1. I have tried to set the bios up correctly, enabled legacy, disabled secure boot, disabled fast boot. I booted under UEFI to get in to GPT mode, still no luck at all.
The installation always goes all the way through the first 4 steps and through most of the 5th. After the reboot in the 5th step, it stops and can not go any further. A message appears without any error code.
I think it may be a problem in this computers UEIF settings, but I do not know if anymore of them to try.
I can use all the help you all can offer.
Thank, Brad
PS, If we ever get this to work, then I will have to ask you where to find drivers for this model, if they exist!

Hi Brad,
According to the information that you posted you have a W8 delivered PC.
If the graphics card in your PC can run in legacy mode then you should be OK.
I suggest that you use a separate HP for W7 as you will probably run into partition placement issues when you try to install W7 to the same HD. Installation to the same HD is not impossible but you will have to remove some partitions such as the recovery partition and then resize the "C" partition to make room for W7. You should be able to use Disk Management to delete partitions and resize the "C" partition.
Be sure to create the external HP recovery media as it will be needed. Backup your data to separate external media.You should also consider installing the HP diagnostics to an external flash drive.
Boot in the BIOS and set the BIOS to legacy mode and fast boot off. Save the changes on exit.
Now boot up the external recovery media (don't select the EFI media if shown) and reload your PC with W8.
If your PC boots up and runs OK then you should be good to load W7.
If you are using a separate HD for W7 then unplug the original HD. If you don't then W7 will install a boot manager to the primary HD.

Mac Mini won't boot with install disk

tried booting with install disc in and pushing "c" on keyboard and doesn't work. Using a apple wireless keyboard. Also used the keyboard that came with Mac Pro but didn't work nor did a wired logitech.
any ideas?
Thanks!

+What is the source of the idea that the mac aluminum keyboard won't work with the mini?+
Dozens of reports in this forum over the past year.
Keep in mind that by "not working" what was meant was that the startup keys wouldn't work. The Alu keyboard otherwise works fine with the Mini.
It has also been reported that the Alu Keyboard does work for startup keys if it is plugged into a hub with an external power supply.

Can not start up on my Macbook pro. All I get is a grey spinning wheel. Tried all the Startup key combinations and nothing works. I reset the NVRAM and nothing. I booted with start up disk , ran disk repair and all is ok. Tried to re-install OS but when I get to designating drive its blank. When I go to startup disk there is a "?" mark. When I restart under startup disk search for a drive it still comes up with nothing. Before I got the grey spinning wheel I had a locked screen. Could not move curser or click on anything. Finally just shut down. Thank you in advance for any help!

Shouldn't still have a 'beachballing'... if the drive is being found and the system is trying to boot from it but is having problems, I would suggest looking over ds store's user tip - Step by step to fix your Mac.
It's likely either something corrupt in your system files or a failing hard drive. But follow ds's steps until you find the cause of the problem.
Good luck,

Biege G3 won't boot with OS 9.2

I purchased a biege G3 MT with OS 8.6 on eBay. Unfortunately, the OS is in French. I upgraded that to OS 9.2 and now it won't boot. No chime and it stops after the first icon during startup. It won't boot with extensions off nor with the CD. I tried resetting pram, etc. without any luck. Loaded it with 8.5 and it works. Took another HD with 10.2 from another biege G3 and it works. It just doesn't like 9.2, but I have 9.2 running in another biege G3. Are there G3 that won't work with 9.2? Please help.
biege g3 Mac OS 9.2.x

Hi elpro,
Here's a bunch of stock responses you'll hear on the G3 forum.
Is the 9.2 CD a universal installer (gold color), or a gray machine-specific CD, and if it is gray, is it the right one for your machine? Apple made gold CDs for general retail to work with all machines, and gray ones that were usually distributed with a machine with the components just for that machine. Unless you have a universal installer CD, the version of OS 9 you are trying to install may not have the right components for your system unless you happen to have one that matches your type of G3. If the 8.5 CD is the right one, and the OS X you say is from an identical machine then that may explain why they boot up but not your OS 9.
If you post your problem on the G3 forum you'll almost be sure to get this question. How old is the battery in this machine? G3s exhibit all kinds of weird and unexpected symptoms when the batteries are weak, and they go through them pretty quickly, especially if they have been unplugged for a long time. The battery helps preserve basic machine configuration information between bootups so if you're having problems with your monitor it might even be related to the battery. If in doubt, replace the battery.
The PRAM reset and extensions off are the other stock replies but you've tried those.

Will not boot with P4 3.06 Gig

I have just update BIOS to the MSI latest available for the MS 6850 PE Max 2 and then after successful reboot and correcting date and time I removed the 1.7 Gig celeron and tried to install a Northwood 3.06 Gig P4. However though the BIOS starts OK and shows processor as a P4 3.06 Gig and then enumerates all devices correctly, the machine with not now boot into an operating system.
1) XP halts after loading the first few files, it shows no error messages
2) Boot from CD starts but stops while still loading initial files
3) Windows Me also fails to boot with a system halted message, (it will not then even try to load the Me disk again saying that it is now missing files).
Return system to 1.7 Gig Celeron and all is OK and boots straight into XP.
Machine has 512Mb of 3200 memory, two hard drives one optical disk and radion 9000 vidoe card.
I am stumped, can anyone please help?

System will not boot with Seagate 3Tb expansion drive plugged in.

I have a HP Pavilion HPE h8- 1214 Desktop , I recieved a Seagate 3TB expasion drive as a gift but when plugged in, the system will not boot. It turns on but thats it. It never gets to the boot sequence. I have it plugged into the top 3.0 usb slot and have tried all of the other slots as well with no sucess. But if I leave it unplugged the system boots right up. I can then plug it in and it works fine. I have plugged it into my wifes HP All- In- One and it boots fine and works. I have a WD 2TB drive that works fine as well on my system . I have searched Segates support for hours and all they say is to change the boot sequence. Have tried that, no go. What they dont get is no matter what I do if that drive is plugged in it never gets as far as booting and reading the boot sequence. Please help. Thank you!

Hi NcBunky,
Are you using Win 7 64 bit? Did you update the Texas Instruments (TI) USB 3.0 XHCI Host Controller?
I have an H8 1380t PC. Updated the TI USB 3.0 driver and had the same problem.
When booting the PC with the USB 3.0 external drive connected to the PC the PC would not boot. When booting the PC with only the mouse, keyboard, and a USB 2.0 external drive attached the PC would boot. Once booted you could attach the USB 3.0 drive and it worked fine.
Solution was to roll back (reinstall) the TI USB 3.0 XHCI Host Controller to the original factory installed driver.
System now boots with the external USB 3.0 drive attached.

KT4AV will not boot with SATA card installed and no SATA drive

I put a Promise brand SATA II card in a KT4AV motherboard. There is an IDE drive and a DVD drive hooked up to the IDE1 port on the motherboard. That IDE drive has Windows XP Pro SP2 loaded on it.
If I have a SATA drive plugged into the card, the machine works fine. If I remove the STAT drive and leave the card in, I cannot boot to Windows. If I remove the card, it works fine. The only time there is a problem is when the SATA card is plugged in and there is no drive on the SATA card.
As one possible solution, I tried to boot to a Windows CD to reload Windows. It will not even allow me to reload from the CD, it says there is a file missing from the CD. If the SATA drive is hooked up, it will work fine on the CD. Also, I tried multiple CDs and they all give the same message. Because it makes a difference whether the SATA drive is connected or not, I do not believe the CD is the problem.
I have tried looking on Promise's web site for a FAQ or an updated BIOS or for other information about this problem and I found nothing. I have e-mailed them and they did not reply yet.
There is no reason to think this is the fault of the motherboard, but I wanted to see if anyone had any ideas about this problem. Because of the symptoms, I believe it also cannot be the CPU, memory, PSU, video card, etc. Sorry if that makes this post off topic.

Quote from: HenryW on 16-March-07, 02:56:44
Have you tried to disable card in Device Manager when you don't use it? What is the model number of the card you are using?
It is a SATA 300 TX2, which means that it has two SATA ports and one IDE port. I have never used the IDE port, only one SATA.
I have never tried to disable it, but I could try, just to see what it did. It sure would be a lot more work to disable and enable it so that isn't a good long term solution. Among other things, it would mean that I would have to boot up in order to remove the SATA drive. Since it won't boot with the drive removed, it will require more planning.
Will post the results once I have tried. Still no reply from Promise :-(
