[SOLVED] ARCH Install Freezes While making fallback image

Hi,
I am having some issues install arch on my desktop, the install is freezing while generating the 'fallback' image, this makes no sense to me as it has just compiled the main image, and should be the exact same.
I have run memtest x86 on each stick of ram (one at a time, and both in at the same time) with no errors.
I have tried both the X86_64 and the i686 both on CD and USB, and the install froze during the fallback kernel every time.
I am using the 2009.08 versions. and have downloaded the images from both mirror.internode and the main arch website link.
I have tried Zero filling the hard-drive with seatool, and it has passed a S.M.A.R.T HDD test (also on seatools)
I am just about to try a different distro just to check. I had arch installed last week but something went incredibly wrong during the last update, so i chose to format it and start fresh.
Any ideas?

I disconnected the drive and the install finished fine. not too sure how it was causing the error.

  • [SOLVED] flashplugin video freezing while audio is fine

    I saw a post about this on this forum, but I've been searching the forum for about 5 hours now and I can't find it, so I'll post a new topic.
    When I do almost anything with adobe flash (in firefox or chromium) after about five seconds the visual freezes while the audio goes on.  I hesitate to call it "video" because this happens with games and such, not just youtube-type videos.  If I right click on the flash animation/video/whatever you want to call it, it starts working again, but only for a few seconds before the same thing happens again.
    Also, if I make videos fullscreen, it's just a black screen the first time.  I exit fullscreen and do it again and then it works.  Sometimes the video for that freezes, too, but less often.
    I've tried uncommenting EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1 in /etc/adobe/mms.cfg and that doesn't help.  In fact, if I try a fullscreen video with that uncommented, the X server crashes when I try to exit fullscreen.
    I've got an intel video card and I've tried playing with xorg.conf enabling EXA with greedy MigrationHeuristic, UXA, XAA, I've tried turning off tiling.  Nothing works.  And I'm not using compiz or anything like that.  I've tried everything I know.  Anybody have any other suggestions???  (Please...?)

  • [solved] arch kernel freezes, how can I replace it with lts

    the kernel freezes on almost every boot; I'm referring to the kernel installed and downloaded when I used the net install to install arch
    how do I install the lts kernel ? maybe the lts won't freeze...

    solved... I got rid of kernel freeze, or kernel hang, by appending the "acpi=off" parameter in grub

    Keep an eye on the battery meter, w/o acpi your computer might be using more power.

  • [SOLVED] ARCH install on EFI computer with GPT

    Hello everyone. I'm having a problem with installation of arch. When i boot with pendrive "made" with dd i get some "Install override security policy" (or something like that) anyway i can't "edit" pendrive after dd so i create MSDOS partition table and format as FAT32 and copy content of the iso to the pendrive. Boots the same so i googled that i have to overwrite grubx64.efi with loader.efi so i done that and it boots fine. But pendrive doesn't install grub it says that my system doesn't support efi, so i followed this and and from google i read about  i have to activate efivars with modprobe but it doesn't work either. I tried EFI install with VirtualBox but error still is the same. Anybody installs arch on UEFI machine ?? Ubuntu (and Xubuntu, Lubuntu...) & Fedora works fine with UEFI install. I don't want to move disk to MBR because of MBR limitations (for example only four primary partitions) and i have important data on the disk so i can't do that.
    I tried Arch based distros and there are also problems with install. Manjaro after install shows that UEFI variables wasn't detect properly ( or something like that). Antergos doesn't boot because there is not necessary files (who even release that? this doesn't even work in virtual box) after adding these files i've get 30 seconds Arch problem because label is incorrect antergos says that label have to be ANTERGOS201311 and i can't give that label because FAT32 has 11 characters limitation and if i tried work it out with ext4 it doesn't work at all (there is no prefix UEFI in boot options). I can't also solve that with dd because i have to paste missing files to the pendrive and dd make pendrive unwritable.
    Doesn't matter, issue solved. All i have to do is to
    mount -t efivarfs efivarfs /sys/firmware/efi/efivars

    That all depends on the settings you give your VM, you can make it virtualize either a BIOS or a UEFI machine irrelevant of the host firmware.
    https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch03.html#efi
    I'm not sure if UEFI is still considered experimental or how well it works, as I always just use BIOS mode.

  • Arch Linux freezes while loading modules

    Hello,
    I'm having a problem loading Arch.The loading stops while loading the modules and I get get a bug:
    BUG: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 7c8b1738
    I used the "Don't Panic"-Installer.
    Here's my pastebin for more details:
    http://pastebin.archlinux.org/20334
    Actually I also had a lot of problems with the installation. It wouldn't work until I manually issued the commands mkswap and swapon.
    http://pastebin.archlinux.org/20297
    I don't know if the loading-problem is derived from the installation-problem, and therefore don't know if this is posted in the right place.
    Specs:
    Ibm thinkpad x31
    Intel Pentium M 1.6 gHz
    512 MB
    ATI Mobility
    I'm coming straight from Ubuntu, so I'm not really a hardcore Linux-user, but I'm learning and hope to be able to have a full-working installation of Arch up and going soon.
    Kind regards,
    Daniel

    I reinstalled Arch(Base-packs only), but I still get the message: "BUG: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address xxxxxxxx". The number changes each time.
    I was actually able to load Arch successfully one time, and log in as root. Then I changed the locale in rc.conf, uncommentet in locale.gen and rebootet. And there it was again. I tried to change the values back to what they were before I changed them via PXE, but it still wouldn't work. I then tried to reinstall, but I still get the same message. Allthough, the installer-program runs without errors and I don't have to issue mkswap- and swapon-commands manuallly now. At least the installprosess seems to work now
    Oh, and by the way... Kubuntu and XP runs without issues on my pc.

  • [SOLVED] Arch install on Virtualbox - Host is UEFI

    New here and I have a question already lol
    I've done some digging and looking around but I haven't found a definitive answer. If I am setting arch up on virtualbox, on my computer, which has an UEFI board do I need to set arch up as uefi or will it just think that it's running on a BIOS machine?

  • Arch get freeze while wifi on

    Hi,
    I dont know what to say, My notebook gets freeze(I cant do anything, I have to manually reboot) ~15 sec after it connects to my wifi network (during these 15sec, I can normally use this connection, e.g ping google ;d)
    $ lspci | grep Bro
    02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM57780 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe (rev 01)
    03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM43225 802.11b/g/n (rev 01)
    I am using kernel drivers "brcm80211" (brcmsmac/brcmfmac )
    according to this https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Broadcom_wireless there are other drivers, and I will try them, but I wanted to post about it because this freeze is really unpleasant, and maybe its cause by something else which I wont find out alone ;/

  • [SOLVED] Freezing while "Setting Consoles to UTF-8 mode"

    Hi everyone,
    I recently ran a Pacman -Syu on my bare bones network boot HTPC. I rebooted for the first time today due to a network issue which caused the machine to freeze up(since it network boots it couldn't do anything with no network). Now when I reboot it seems to be freezing while performing the "Setting Consoles to UTF-8 mode" step. I am not sure what changed on the system as everything else appears to be in good working order. I don't even know where to start to troubleshoot this issue. I had a look through rc.sysinit and I can see the section  but nothing seems amiss when compared to my other working machines here. I had a look through the log files but also nothing pops out. Any ideas?

    This is interesting since I still have the issue on my system, I havn't yet reverted to an older kernel but was thinking the kernel package is the likely issue, using version kernel 2.6.33
    I take it this isn't a common error? is this possibly a 64 bit kernel error or a video related error?
    Still no answer from me yet, not that I have spend a great deal of time trying to look at it. annoying though.

  • [SOLVED]Shift my Arch install to a new (smaller) PC/HDD?

    Hey all, I've looked around all sorts of forums for the answer to this, but none of them seem to cater exactly to my need, so I'll post my problem here!
    Essentially I bought a new harddive. Well actually, I bought a whole new PC-worth of parts, but it's the harddrive causing problems.
    I've had this Arch install for quite a while, and as such it's pretty well tweaked and messed about with, so I REALLY don't want to start again with a clean install, so I want to (For lack of a better terminology) Copy-paste my entire Arch install into the new harddrive.
    I looked into Clonezilla, but there's a slight issue... My new drive is smaller than my old one. I know this was a dumb mistake on my part, but really I don't need anything bigger (Even with a load of movies, VM's and Wine games that can easily be deleted I'm only using 60-70GB of drive right now) And the only reason I really needed a new drive was because the new motherboard doesn't have an IDE slot, and my old drive is an IDE (I know there's adaptors for that, but they sound a bit dodgy at best)
    My current partitions on my drive are also numbered a bit funny, which I think is where this went wrong when I attempted it, due to me distro-hopping a bit before landing on Arch.
    So, is there an easy way to go about this, that I'm overlooking? Are there more config files that I should have editted (All I did upon clonezilla-ing the main partition was change the grub menu.lst file to say sda1 instead of sda3, and the same in fstab)
    What I tried first time round, was to use Clonezilla, and only clone my /dev/sda3 partition (That's the one with Arch installed, sda1 is just an empty box that I occasionally store junk in) And this put a partition on the new drive, sda1, which was the reason for editting the menu.lst/fstab.
    I then (Upon the above failing to boot) used GParted (Using a Mint LiveCD) To shrink my partitions down so they're approx. 65GB each (My current drive is 200GB, split equally in half, and my new drive is 160gb) Hoping Clonezilla would believe my drive was only 130GB (This still didn't work, it still told me the destination drive's too small)
    Is there anything else I can do that I'm missing?

    Phew, thread is solved!
    To R00KIE, your post actually helped me quite a lot - It turns out I was missing installing grub + regenerating initramfs
    So how I did it:
    GParted the new drive so it had a filesystem
    Boot from a Ubuntu LiveCD,
    mount both drives
    copy-paste drive-to-drive (literally... used the cp command)
    chroot into the new drive
    adjust fstab/menu.lst
    grub-install /dev/sda
    mkinitcpo -p linux
    reboot
    PROFIT!
    You're right ROOKIE, that whole process was far simpler than some websites make it out to be Thread closed!

  • [SOLVED] Arch Linux Boot from USB fails while loading kernel

    I am attempting to get arch linux booting off my usb. I use cfdisk to create a /dev/sdb1 partition then use mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1, mount the usb, pacstrap it, use install-syslinux_update -iam, generate fstab and then attempt to boot from it.
    The boot extracts the kernel but then complains that DEVICE is missing in the option APPEND root=DEVICE (in syslinux.cfg). I looked in /dev/disk (on the temporary filesystem shell), it showed my ssd and cd drive but not the usb. Does anyone know what could be causing the USB to not load in that particular section of the kernel?

    Since you'll probably want to boot from different computers (portable USB system), you want to remove 'autodetect' from that line. This is the same as always booting the initramfs-linux-fallback.img image. To save some space, you could remove 'autodetect' from the configuration file, disable the fallback image in /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux.preset  and delete initramfs-linux.img (otherwise, you'll get two identical images).
    Of course, run mkinitcpio -P when you're done.

  • [SOLVED] Advice for Arch install with rEFInd dual boot Lenovo laptop?

    I am trying to plan an Arch install on a new laptop for dual boot with Windows 8.1, but I know there is a potential to cause huge problems so I have been trying to read and learn about the hard disk partition structure and how I might install the rEFInd boot files so that I am still able to boot Windows once Arch is installed. (Unfortunately for some tasks such as updating the maps on my satnav box Windows is essential). However I am really quite unsure if I am doing the right thing in the way I am thinking about the Arch install so I would appreciate any help from experts on the forum.
    The laptop is a Lenovo IdeaPad Y510p which came with Windows 8 pre-installed, with the option to upgrade to Windows 8.1.  The upgrade was completed without issue and I then looked into the question of hard drive partitions and boot.  I had read posts on the Ubuntu forums about users who had installed Ubuntu on this same laptop and ended up being unable to boot Windows afterwards so I wanted to tread very carefully before executing anything which might cause really major damage. I had also read on the Lenovo forums replies about people who had replaced the hard drive and installed linux only to find that they could  not boot to the recovery partitions, with replies from Lenovo moderators saying that if the partition structure had been changed then the laptop would have to be sent back to Lenovo for a factory repair.
    On this laptop to get into the bios or boot options you do not just press the power button and hit an F key, but instead there is a special small "OneKey Recovery" button next to the power jack, which opens up with options for BIOS setup and boot options as well as normal boot or recovery. This OneKey Recovery button is therefore needed to boot a usbkey - the power button only allows it to boot to windows presumably until/unless a different bootloader and NVRAM entry is amended.
    I have done all the initial ( safe!)changes necessary to move to the point at which I can execute the Arch install. From within Windows (switched off fastboot, and shrunk the "C:" drive to make space for linux partitions).  I have also switched off Secure Boot from the BIOS, and made sure that Windows still boots up fine.
    The current arch install iso (February 2014) boots under uefi just fine - and of course once booted I have access to the gdisk programme.  That certainly showed the pre-existing partitions on the drive (8 partitions with partition number 2 being the EFI partition, and three recovery partitions!) with a GPT partition table, and it should therefore be possible to make the necessary new linux partitions in the now unallocated space on the disk that was freed up with the internal disk management facility within Windows 8.1.  So at that point I created three partitions for a root partition (type 8300), a swap partition (type 8200) and another type 8300 partition which will become /opt in the installed Arch system.
    In order to try and not make any changes to the partition structure I let the three new linux partitions be number 9, 10 and 11.
    I am told that for a GPT disk it is a definite no-no to try to create more than one EFI partition. So I will need to use the existing EFI partition to place the rEFInd files and the kernel once I install Arch.
    In this (Y510p) laptop the EFI partition contains the following structure:
    BOOT/ - containing only boot.sdi
    BOOTSECT.BAK
    EFI/ which contains two directories Boot/ and Microsoft/
    so EFI/Boot/ contains only Boot64.efi which is likely a fallback copy of the Windows 8.1 bootloader
    and EFI/Microsoft/ contains a Boot/ directory - so
    EFI/Microsoft/Boot/ contains loads of language specific directories like en-GB/
    plus bootmgfw.efi (which I believe is the Windows main efi loader file)
    bootmgr.efi
    memtest.efi
    The scheme that I am planning to use which I have previously used in pure Arch uefi machines, is that /boot is a directory in the root partition, /. That way /boot is an ext4 directory and will contain the kernel and initramfs plus the rEFInd linux config file.
    Then I can mount the EFI (vfat) partition as /boot/efi and so I can then make a /boot partition under /.  Then the EFI /BOOT/ directory would be seen in Linux as /boot/efi/BOOT/ and the Windows efi stuff would be in /boot/efi/EFI/Boot/Microsoft/Boot/ in which case I would presume that I have to make a new directory in /boot/efi/EFI/refind/ and put the refind stuff including the filesystem drivers there, and let the kernel go into the (ext4) /boot/ directory which would be preferred!  However I am not 100% confident that this is what will work and I need to read more before trying to do the install. The thing that concerns me is how the system will handle the uefi boot process, and whether it would auto-detect the Windows efi file as well as the Arch refind efi file once the system has started up?
    ... and then there is the issue of the NVRAM entries and I am no longer confident that if I use the usual tools to create an entry (efiboomgr or bcfg), that I will get a successful dual boot system!
    There is still a chance that I would irrevocably damage being able to boot to the Windows and Recovery partition boot options by messing up the EFI and/or the NVRAM so I have to tread very very carefully with this.
    If anyone has gone through this kind of dual boot install with a Windows 8 or 8.1 machine using rEFInd for the bootloader, and can offer advice or help here I would very much appreciate it.  I have another pure Arch system which uses rEFInd that works extremely well, but it seems that dual boot with uefi is a rather more complex animal than a pure linux system!

    When there is an update to the rEFInd package you need to copy the files across to your ESP from the files contained in /usr/share/refind/  usually you need to copy the refind_x64.efi binary as well as the icons, fonts, and drivers directories.  Since there is flexibility in how you configure the kernel and initrd files in terms of where they are located whether you need to do anything else when a new kernel update arrives depends on how you set your system up.  If you have the /boot directory as your ESP partition which will then have the kernel and initrd files updated by default then there no need to do anything else when there is a kernel update. If the ESP is then at /boot/EFI and within that is your refind/ directory then that is where the replacement files go if refind-efi gets a pacman update. So it is actually fairly straight forward. If you configure rEFInd to look for kernels in some other directory than /boot/ then you may need to copy the files there after a kernel update but there is more information in the arch wiki about this.
    During a refind-efi package update there are helpful files in the pacman output (and log) reminding you of what you need to do.  eg for the latest refind-efi update you get:

    By the way you can also boot uefi using grub and in fact you can get rEFInd to chainload grub as a backup bootloader as an added safety factor and have both rEFInd as well as grub installed simultaneously. How that can be done is explained in the thread at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=181906

  • Dual boot Arch and Windows XP (arch installed first) [solved]

    I recently moved over to arch from Ubuntu, and would like to install Windows XP so that I can dual-boot between the two. However, my arch install created four partitions on my disk, and I can not create another one.
    I would rather not have to reinstall arch, as setting it back up would take days on my current network connection. Is this possible? While I have installed XP over Ubuntu in the past (and am more than able to reform the MBR after the XP install) I have absolutely no experience with disk-partitioning, so concise instructions would be very much appreciated.
    errata: my laptop has 4 gigs of RAM, so I don't think I need the SWAP partition. I am hesitant to delete it outright however.
    this is a Gparted screenshot, running off of a Ubuntu live CD. The 60 gigs of unallocated space is where I was hoping to install windows.

    What's on /dev/sda4?  If you can blow away the last partition, turn the whole thing into an extended partition and then you can set up as many logical partitions as you want inside the extended partition.  I suppose Arch is probably on sda4 and if that is the case you could move arch to sda3 first--there are lots of posts in the forum about how to move an installation of arch from one place to another.
    Edit: Beat to the punch again.  Yeah like he said you might want to delete the swap partition and then incorporate it into the 1st or third partitions so you can free up that last one.

  • Freeze while installing Photoshop CS 5

    I've been trying, unsuccessfully, to install Photoshop Extended on my MacBook. Things to consider:
    Yes, I have the Java runtime installed
    I've had photoshop in the past, including the trial for CS5. However, I uninstalled them weeks before trying to install the retail copy
    I suspect that it's having trouble writing files. It will often freeze while installing fonts, or when installing the actual application for Photoshop.
    The installer used to quit, but after I cleared a number of system adobe files, it will not quit, and the instalation process will go further. However, between 50% and 80%, the installer will lock up, and my Mac will lock up, forcing me to shut down by holding the power button.
    Has anyone else had similar issues installing photoshop in Mac OS (Specifically Lion)?
    Thanks!
