[solved] AMD Ucode not loading on boot

Its being called twice during the early hooks stage of udev.
i have already googled and found I needed to have installed the AMD Ucode package. I have version 2012.1.17-3 but it is being ignored.
Im getting the error
[unix time stamp i assume] microcode: failed to load file amd-ucode/microcode_amd.bin
twice after a long pause.
How do I fix it?

I have put microcode in there as per instructions, but the word microcode was not in mkinitcpio.conf when I installed the system and started seeing the message. I think I added it on instructions in one of the 2 threads or an arch wiki page on the subject. I'll remove it.
The thing is I HAVE the amd-ucode package installed, and i'm STILL getting the message and associated delay on boot. So I'm looking for how I inform it I have installed it?

[SOLVED] Module r8169 not loading on boot, can load afterwards...

I am trying to get the network (r8169) to load, currently it doesn't get detected and putting it in MODULES array doesn't do anything (I don't think anything works in MODULES array for me).
Was using 2.6.39 kernel, moved to 3.0.0; same problem.
Once the computer has booted I can easily' sudo modprobe r8169 && sudo dhcpcd eth0' no problems.
Any ideas on how to get it to work? Thanks in advance.

Yeah, why on earth are they auto gen'd? I used archboot to install, you?
Okay, I'll rm them and reboot now.
I also have a /etc/modprobe.d/framebuffer_blacklist.conf:
blacklist aty128fb
blacklist atyfb
blacklist cirrusfb
blacklist cyber2000fb
blacklist kyrofb
blacklist neofb
blacklist nvidiafb
blacklist pm2fb

blacklist savagefb
blacklist sisfb
blacklist sstfb
blacklist tdfxfb
blacklist tridentfb
blacklist udlfb
blacklist uvesafb
blacklist viafb
blacklist vmlfb
blacklist vt8623fb
Do I need to worry about that? I'm currently using Intel G41 915 integrated.

Extensions are not loaded while boot

Hi there!
I have the problem, that the driver für my firewire audio interface and the driver for my dsp cards are not loaded while booting the system...
How can I activate these extensions?
Thank you for support!
Cheers
André

Are you talking about kext's? Did you check that they are even there (look in /System/Library/Extensions or type kextstat in terminal).

64-bit driver does not load at boot

Hi.
After recompiling a scsi target driver for 64 bits, it does not load automatically at boot time as it does if booting 32-bit kernel.
The 64-bit module is copied to /usr/kernel/drv/sparcv9. the <driver>.conf file is in /usr/kernel/drv. Using add_drv is fine, it attaches and loads the driver (the driver works also).
It also loads using modload manually after boot or calling it from /etc/rc3 or so.
what else is required on 64-bit kernel to get the autoload?
Thanks,
Luis.

W7/64 USB Drivers not loading on boot-up

Installed W7/64 onto clean SSD with all ThinkPad items added and updated off the Driver Matrix (W500).
Using with 2503 Dock I have up to 13 USB devices attached .. just like in former WXP-SP3 setup.
Now when I start the system, only my Logitech LASER mouse (with USB transceiver) driver loads ... ALL others have yellow flag (not loaded). Strange is that this even affects my expansion slots ... that don't register until USB flagged drivers are manually updated.
Further I looked in the windows/system32/drivers folder and none of the several USB driver files are present.
Is there a way to repair this situation without the agony of reinstalling everything.
Please, advise.

OS X Lion on a Mac Mini with Microsoft Intellimouse
Installation worked with no errors but now when I boot up the mouse cursor is at the top left of the screen and refuses to work until I manually unplug it and push it back in again. Annoying to say the least.
Have you tried another mouse? Have you tried a different USB port? If the mouse is plugged into a hub, have you tried plugging directly into the Mac?
Also the scroll-reversal option is missing from the relevant control panel.
Any sensible suggestions?
To confirm, can you screen shot the Mouse System Preference?
If all else fails, you can install Scroll Reverser. It was for Lion developers to get accustomed to the Lion-style scrolling before Lion was released, but it works just fine in Lion for these unusual situations. (e.g.: older Macbook Pro without a multitouch trackpad.)

Icons will not load on boot

I'm posting this from a mac in my video production class, the eMac that I am trying to use will not load its icons nor files, the only thing it will do is run its progs, but you cant open any files in them. When I move the curser to the desktop, it shows the little swirly thing. I have restarted, re-logged in, and consulted the teacher. What is the problem?

AthrunXT,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Are you logged on to a normal non-administrative account or to a restricted user account? Whomever setup and maintains the computers in your class lab should know the answer. Debugging and troubleshooting will generally require administrative user ststus on the computer, so possible answers depend to some extent on your class account type.
If there are other users with accounts on this Mac, do they have the same problem?

[Solved] Menu Editor not loading.

I installed py solitaire, it didn't show up in the list. I tried to open up the menu editor, and that will not load either. I have fam and alacarte installed, and I am not sure what is wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: alacarte will not run as a normal user, only as root. Is this normal?

[solved] TV card not loaded after upgrade to kmod

After the upgrade to mkinitcpio and kmod replacing module-init-tools, my TV card (Hauppauge WinTV Nova-S) is not loaded.
Downgrading mkinitcpio and re-installing module-init-tools and regenerating my initramfs and all is well.
Is there any extra setup needed with kmod? There are no man files in the kmod package so I'm at a loss what to do.
Incase it helps, here are (maybe not all) the modules related to my tv card when downgraded:

Yes - initramfs regenerated after each upgrade and downgrade.
Forgot to mention I was also suffering from the 'Filename too long' FS#27862 and your updated kmod in that bug's comments fixed that. I'm guessing that my issue is unrelated.
With both kmod packages, initramfs complains that /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf doesn't exist, but I've never added anything in there anyway and the kmod package doesn't contain that file.

[SOLVED] Intel microcode not loaded - already available in the bios?

I'm getting ready to the linux 3.17 release and thought I should manually install the Intel microcode.
I noticed that I didn't even have the package installed, so that was my first stop.
After doing the steps outlined in the wiki, I'm not sure it's actually loaded.
The `sig` and `revision` in the available patch and the kernel output is the same.
Does this mean I already have the microcodes updated through the BIOS, or is this irrelevant?
And if it's irrelevant, any idea what I'm doing wrong?

I think iucode_tool is just saying that an update has been released for your cpu model.
But yout particular cpu has already it in place.
I don't know if it is the bios to update the microcode or your cpu has been shipped with the new firmware.
Thanks! I don't really care As long as I haven't failed the installation process, I'm happy.

[SOLVED] ALSA firmware not loading properly with kernel 3.8.6-1

Hi All,
I have a E-MU 1820 card + breakout box that have been working beautiful under Archlinux for years but now something happen.
It still work OK under windows (dual boot same computer).
Normally during boot all indicators on the breakout box blink and then only thin show is clock setting indicator. But now all the indicators still blink but instead it is a -12 dB indicator that light up and not the clock settings and no sound.

Thank you mich41!
It looks like a kernel bug.
I downgraded to 3.7.10-1 then firmware loaded OK and I could play sounds.
Upgraded to 3.8.6-1 then the firmware fail to load.
Something looks not ok with 3.8.6-1.
Best regards,

[Solved] grub2: file not found but booting fine

I just ran grub-mkconfig to update my grub.cfg because I installed E4rat. But now I have a problem: Every entry in grub2 can be booted and E4rat really boosted my boot process so actually everything is fine. But while grub2 is loading it says something like:
Grub 2 is loading...
Welcome to Grub 2!
error: file not found.
error: file not found.
error: file not found.
Now grub shows up and everything is as it should be. When I select Arch it again says "error: file not found." three times and continues with a normal boot process. So basically it's nothing that would brake my system but something seems not right and that's just a huge annoyance.
Here's my grub.cfg just in case:

I have the same error message as in the first post. "error: file not found" listed three times when I first choose Arch from the Grub2 menu. The solution linked to by the.ridikulus.rat would not seem to apply as I do not have the locales en* in /boot/grub/locale BTW, I am in the US. The system does boot though.
I just fixed this a few seconds ago and was going to post how, basically I just did "cp /boot/grub/locale/[email protected] /boot/grub/locale/en_US.mo" which seem to do the trick, the reason I didn't fix this sooner is the error only stays up for a very small fraction of a second making it hard to read.
# ls /boot/grub/locale
ast.mo da.mo fi.mo hu.mo it.mo nl.mo ru.mo uk.mo zh_CN.mo
ca.mo de.mo fr.mo id.mo ko.mo pl.mo sv.mo vi.mo
EDIT: I get the same three "error: file not found" messages when I boot Fedora (a multiboot system). This is with grub2 installed from Arch Linux.

[SOLVED]dhcpcd does not start on boot anymore

Hello,
I reinstalled Arch last night to try and be as to the letter as possible because I had three bad installs( or so I thought https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=195192 ) and it was going well. I tweaked some SSD Optimization configs and went to bed.
Today I wanted to install OpenBox so first I tried to update my system with pacman -Syu (without reading the change log or anything of course) and I couldn't download anything. A quick ping to google.com gave an unknown host error. Nothing has changed over night and I rebooted the machine last night a couple of times and I always had internet connection. The guide said that dhcpcd runs automatically on boot and I looked through the change logs at the places I understood and couldn't find anything about this being disabled on boot now. I do see that it was updated in the last 24 hours but again, nothing about auto run on boot being disabled.
Little things like this bug me, I can enable the service using systemctl and call it a day but I was wondering if I was the only one experiencing this. If I'm the only one then it probably isn't a good thing.
SOLVED: Did not read the Beginner's Guide within context of the installation medium.

What packages were upgraded? If I am understanding you correctly, dhcpcd was enabled and working fine before the upgrade, but after the upgrade dhcpcd appears to be disabled. Is that correct? Two bits of informaiton you should post here are the complete list of updated packages and the output of
systemctl status dhcpcd
SirMyztiq wrote:Nothing has changed over night and I rebooted the machine last night a couple of times and I always had internet connection.
You previously say you upgraded then went to bed, so that would be the change. I'm a little confused by these seemingly contradictory assertions.
I apologize for the confusion.
I'll give you the current list of packages as soon as I install a browser on my machine(I'm on my laptop) but I can tell you that all I had last night was the "base" and "base-devel" packages installed. I mainly did tweaking like setting the scheduler dynamically on my ssd to "deadline" following the SSD Optimization wiki and read a bit about OpenBox to make sure I get it right. I also rebooted the computer a couple of times to check for that "time out" bug I mentioned. It all checked out, so I went to bed.
I power her up today, try to do a system update and I wasn't able to. A ping to google.com gave me an "unknown host" error. I checked both the "status" and whether it was "enabled" with their respective systemctl commands and both gave me the feedback that it was not active nor was it enabled.
I'll edit the original post to be more clear and look like I have some grasp of English.

[SOLVED] LVM volume not found while booting

I have an error while trying to boot with both Syslinux and GRUB (GRUB was my 1st choice but I got this error so switched to Syslinux). It's BIOS system, my boot is on /dev/sda1 and root is inside LVM on /dev/sda2. It states that device /dev/mapper/TheVG-RootLV can not be found so the problem is with LVM. There is lvm2 hook in mkinitcpio.conf, dolvm in my kernel line... what could I do wrong? I had no problem with this exact setup on my UEFI system and GRUB. Boot partition is loaded even if it's also inside LVM (that was the case when I was trying to run it via GRUB). GPT partition table.
Last edited by smsware (2013-05-25 16:55:48)

This has been an ongoing issue with the Arch Linux LVM2 setup since it was changed to using lvmetad. You did nothing wrong. My home server still sits on an LVM, so what I did was downgraded lvm2 and device-mapper on that machine and have been ignoring the updates until I can find a better solution... though I haven't been looking very hard.
Also, with mkinitcpio, there is no "dolvm" command line parameter. It runs the LVM2 stuff depending on whether or not you have the lvm hook in your mkinicpio.conf (or add it otherwise with the command line). So yu can safely remove that.
The reason that Grub is able to read the /boot partition, but then it can still fail to find the rootfs is because these are two separate things. Grub has its own system to give it LVM compatibility. So it uses its stuff to read that, gets the information it needs, then loads the kernel and initramfs. It then passes the system off, at which point, this process of detecting the LVM and finding the rootfs happens all over again, albiet with the kernel and native linux userspace tools.
My laptop was on LVM2 when this change occurred. It worked for a while, and then just totally borked... well not toally, but it was way inconsistent and super frusturating. So I changed to btrfs. There is a thread about luks and lvm2 not booting, but it is actually just about lvm2, as the luks part of it was just cioncidence. You may want to ahve a look there because there is a slight change you can make in your lvm.conf that might help. It helped in my case, but it only made it slightly less borked, which is why I eventually changed setups.
Edit: I remember the edit having something to do with a filter... or global filter... something about having it not scan floppies and cdroms and whatnot.
