[SOLVED]Archlinux live boot failed on HP mini 2133
Hello, everyone!
I am new here, and also newbie on linux.
I found archlinux much fast on my pc.
So I would like to install it on my netbook HP mini 2133.
But I finally not boot failure on it.
I record the booting up process into a video with my phone.
You can refer to this http://sdrv.ms/102b8h7 on my skydrive.
It should be something wrong with kernel or driver , but I could not figure it out.
I have tried the kernel command added with S (Single-mode). and it goes as the same.
keeping flickering of colors ....
ignore the b43 firmware error, the wireless card was disabled on the BIOS.
And I am using a USB stick , burn by USBWriter.
any help? thanks~!!

Windows 8 and ArchLinux dual-boot - Failed to open file: arch\boot\...
Hey!
I have a problem where I don't know how to configure the EFISTUB to boot ArchLinux along Windows 8. I have read the instructions on the wiki and tried for two days and the only thing I've come up with is copying some files into the /boot/efi/EFI/arch/ folder, and adding the entry into the UEFI boot menu. I can select it when Restarting Windows8 through the shift-restart thing and stuff but when it attempts to boot it says:
Failed to open file: arch\boot\archiso.img
I don't know how to set this up and fix it. I am so confused with everything right now due to the instructions on the wiki basically being "You can either do it this way, that way or any other way." but does not specifically expain how each works (at least so that I understand it fully) and what has to be done to complete these steps. Like, I need a complete tutorial from Start to Finish, to do this because I'm too nervous messing up my partitions. I have understood some parts thought and what I want is to be able to boot it from the EFISTUB instead of chain-booting like I usually do. I just don't know how to connect the entry in the list to the proper files to boot the system.
What I have done:
Installed the base system.
Istalled grub in the base system but has not used grub to install on the /boot yet because I don't know if it is to be used if I'm supposed to use the EFISTUB (I was thinking efibootmgr would be enough)
Tried to use efibootmgr to make the entry, but the entry does not work. (If this is how I should do it, can you explain which partition to target and what the different values would mean when answering?)
I don't know which one is right, or if both shall be done (I guess Grub is used if I want to chain-load. I guess I can do it if it's the only way)
Anyway, I hope you guys can answer me so I can fix this. ThanksWhat you're trying to do now is:
EFI->kernel (EFI stub)
This is appealingly direct, but it's tricky to get working. What the wiki now recommends is:
EFI->gummiboot->kernel (EFI stub)
...or...
EFI->GRUB->kernel
These approaches are less direct, but they're easier to configure. The trouble is that both the EFI's built-in boot manager and the EFI stub loader are tricky to configure. For a newbie to get them both configured correctly on a first attempt at installing Arch is very difficult. Getting the EFI to launch gummiboot or GRUB is easier because these programs don't require the complex parameters that the EFI stub loader requires. Those parameters can instead be specified in the gummiboot or GRUB configuration file, which is easier to manage for quite a few reasons.
If you want to pursue using the EFI stub loader directly, you certainly can. I've learned from experience, though, that it's not worth my time to try to help with users who want to do this. Using an intermediary program is easier to get working. IMHO, the direct approach has no real benefits except that it gives you bragging rights that you've done it. Your system won't boot any faster or more reliably in the more direct approach. (Well, technically it will be faster, by only by a matter of milliseconds, assuming you use a 0 timeout value in gummiboot.) In fact, it will be less reliable, because gummiboot, GRUB, and rEFInd all offer ways to adjust boot options on a boot-by-boot basis, which is very helpful when fixing problems. You can't do this with the direct approach. -
[SOLVED]kernel update to kernel26-2.6.38.2-1, boot fail
First of all my archlinux know-how only dated from April 2011. And I began my linux explore just at March 2011 after whole disk format of old XP.
Apology that English is not my native language.
My problem:
Intel P M dothan 725 1.6GHz laptop.
1. I had ubuntu10.10 installed on sda1 and grub2 installed to the MBR. sda2 as swap.
2. I installed archlinux onto sda3 inside ubuntu according to this WIKI:(Install from Existing Linux) https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … ting_Linux
3. os_probe detected the new os and updated the boot menu. I was able to login to archlinux. I was able to use the wireless network and installed gnome.
Then one day "pacman -Syu" prompted me to update to kernel26-2.6.38.2-1. I did the upgrading but got a boot failure.
After the grub2 screen the system began to initialize, I could see lines of messages scrolling down the screen.
But it seems the scroll down will never stop. The scroll down speed is too fast I am not able to recognize the messages.
Anyhow I perceived that the scrolling messages were repeating the same content. I guess it got into an "infinite loop".
This happened as soon as I selected archlinux in grub2(less than 0.5s after I hit ENTER), and before udev b/c the screen resolution was not reset to its optimal.
I don't think there's any dmsg log.(Well, I admitted I did not checked.)
All I can do is to login to ubuntu and chroot to archlinux and retreat to the previous kernel. And fortunately it worked.
I tried to update the kernel several times both in ubuntu chroot and in archlinux. All failed. All the same symptom.
I am not sure if it was a bug in kernel26-2.6.38.2-1.
Can I fix the problem, or should I file a bug report?
Another problem, I do not know how to file a bug report.
edit:
kernel26-2.6.37.5-1
kernel26-2.6.37.6-1 all confirmed no problem.
I have retreated to kernel26-2.6.37.6-1
Last edited by comicosmos (2011-05-04 12:02:00)I would prefer to paste the lspci -vnn info here if you don't mind.
There were kinds of log files under /var/log but I almose know nothing about them.
I didn't try 2.6.38 on Ubuntu because I'd prefer the stable version. It had not been released. Anyhow your questions make me curious to see the result. Maybe I will give it a try.
You can see it's fairly old hardware ;-)

[solved] Can't boot with LVM and usb external disk
I successfully installed Archlinux on my first computer, using LVM on two internal Hard Drives.
I'm trying to do exactly the same on my second computer, but I got a problem: the LVM volume is not found at boot, so that the root partition can't be mounted and the boot fails.
The only difference is that, on my second computer, the second hard drive is connected through USB.
Some hints: my second computer boots perfectly with LVM and Ubuntu. Archlinux needs to be configured adequately.
I tried to add rootdelay=30 in menu.lst, but it changes nothing. Of course, in /etc/rc.conf I have USELVM="yes" and in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf I have HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata keymap lvm2 filesystems"
Thank you for helping me to keep Archlinux on my second computer!
Last edited by Achille (2008-06-29 21:59:09)I finally solved my problem!
In the file /etc/mkinitcpio.conf, I modified the MODULES loaded:
MODULES="pata_acpi ata_generic ata_piix usbcore usb_storage uhci_hcd ehci_hcd sg scsi_mod sd_mod dm_mod"
I also add in the file /lib/initcpio/hooks/lvm2 the line /bin/sleep 10

[Solved] Unable to boot (startup job is running)
Hi there!
Today I went home and tried to boot my laptop there, but was unable to boot Arch.
Before I went home I did a system update using ' sudo pacman -Syu ' and shut the laptop off normally. Right now I get the following message whilst booting:
" A startup job is running for dev-disk...25EFDCE0.device"
It fails after 1 min. 30s and shows a time out error for dependency /mnt/6776F38425EFDCE0, and refuses to boot. I waited for 5 min. but the only thing working at that stage is the shut down button (which appears to enter a normal shutdown mode).
Grub 2 is functioning; Windows 8 boots up fine (same HDD); though all options to boot arch fail because of the 'startup job error message'.
Do any of you know how I can fix this, or how to boot/fix arch such that I can attempt to fix it? Based on a search trough this forum it might be an error in FSTAB, although all cases reported on this forum appear to boot normally after the 'a startup job is running 'error message'.
Many thanks.
Last edited by Simthadim (2014-10-11 09:43:36)Thank you for your response.
Changing the UUID's to /dev/sdaX did not do it's magic, unfortunately. The ' a start job' message is gone, the boot however gets stuck at
/dev/sda2 clean .... (beginning of boot)
Unfortunately I did not properly save the back-up of my fstab file, so the initial set up is lost. Was able to acces arch using alt+f2 and have restored it manually with
lsblk -f
It currently looks like this. I did have a line to automount my data partition (/dev/sda4, label: Data), but didn' t know how to restore that one as that line got deleted too. My gut says this automount was causing the initial error, but it should boot up normally with the current fstab file, right?

Hyper-V 2012 R2 new VM with ISO in DVD boot failed - default SCSI not IDE
Hi, have created some VMs fine on 2008R2 and 2012 Hyper-V but now onto 2012 R2, am using the Gen 2 VM and hitting install error when booting them from the 2012R2 RTM .ISO (downloaded straight from Technet) loaded into virtual DVD:
I see from http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/53f901e4-5bd0-4e13-80a2-bca2f57b15e9/hyperv-unable-to-boot-from-cd-or-iso-in-vm-machine?forum=winserverhyperv that Hyper-V seems unable to boot from a synthetic SCSI until guest OS actually
installed - so Catch-22! But I can't add an IDE Controller because it's not on the list:
I tried the Integration Services and it seems fine on the Settings (including ticking the only one unticked - Guest Services) although if you need to run them from the DVD, it has the same problem - you can see them loaded (or the Win2012R2 ISO) in the DVD
Media but you can't make them run through booting on SCSI!
The physical drives are SATA not SCSI but presumably no matter as Hyper-V runs SCSI virtually, but why does Hyper-V default to SCSI and how do I get the DVD to run off an IDE instead if that is the way to install a base OS from .ISO? Or is there an easier
way than all this?
TIA, Phil.I found this article:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/jhoward/archive/2013/11/11/hyper-v-generation-2-virtual-machines-part-9.aspx
I hope this help.
"...yes, we’re acutely aware that the generation 2 EFI boot loader messages persist on the screen and it can be a little confusing. Essentially what the generation 2 virtual machine did was:
Attempt to boot from the CD SCSI device containing the Windows 8 ISO. This is where the ‘Press any key…’ message came from. As no key was pressed, we went to the next boot entry. (And this is where we didn’t clear the message from the EFI CD boot loader)
I didn’t press F12 (in fact, this VM wasn’t connected to a network), so network boot failed
The SCSI VHDX is raw with no partitioning or file system, so this too failed
So why did the generation 1 virtual machine start setup from the Windows media? The answer is simply that it’s the way Windows media is built, and it’s inconsistent between the PCAT and EFI loaders.
However, it’s relatively simple to solve if you want to avoid the press any key message. In fact, we almost have all the pieces from previous parts. In particular, part 4 where we injected keyboard drivers into the Windows 8 media.
If you loopback mount Windows 8 or 8.1 RTM media, and navigate to the \efi\microsoft\boot directory, you will see there are two versions of cdboot.efi
The default version, cdboot.efi prompts for a keypress. The unused version, cdboot_noprompt.efi doesn’t prompt.
So it’s fairly simple to create modified media which uses the noprompt version. First, copy the contents of the ISO to a working directory, rename cdboot.efi to cdboot_prompt.efi, and rename cdboot_noprompt.efi to cdboot.efi.
Do the same with efisys.bin and efisys_prompt.bin
Then re-use our oscdimg command (in an elevated deployment and imaging tools environment) from part 4 to recreate the media.

Satellite A660 - Will not boot up and HDD boot fail
Hi,
firstly thanks for your time.
Model: Satellite A660 (PSAW3A-07U00R)
The problem started yesterday, the computer was going slow as an application closed, so I held the off button untill the pc turned off. When I restarded the laptop it went to a screen saying: Start windows normally or repair Windows (recomended)
When started normally it just hangs at a blank screen, the repair Windows recommends a system restore to earlier point which didnt work. As it just hangs again. I tried pressing F8 and starting in safe mode but again it just hangs. Then after a few times trying safe mode and another system restore the computer then hangs when I press F8. After this the computer goes past the Toshiba logo screen with F2 and F12 options (which both still work), and then it comes up boot failed then goes blank and comes with boot failed bootfailed with some numbers and letters, then it goes to a small box titled boot menu with 4 options.These are
HDD/SSD Toshiba MK6465GSX
CD/DVD MAT****ABD-CMB UJ141ES
FDD
LAN
If I press ESC it goes through the bootfailed loop and ends up at same screen, if I press enter on "HDD/SSD Toshiba MK6465GSX" then it quickly comes back to screen and at the bottom it says [HDD/SSD Toshiba MK6465GSX] is failed.
I dont understand why it got worse over time. Can anyone think of why this has happend and more importantly how can I get my pc working again? Note: holding 0 then starting does nothing for me atm
regards, MatthewAll you people looking here on this dead thread.....
Toshiba A660 laptops are renowned for having hard drive fails and boot up problems after grinding to a halt.
My solution (after losing 3 hard drives [and a terabyte of family treasured times]) is the following.
Use MALWAREBYTES (free download and use for 28 days)
Scan and fix. Mine found over 300 trojans that 2013 Norton 360 could not find.
Re-boot into safe mode.
SCAN again.
Re-boot and empty the malwarebytes repair files it retains...
Run Norton/McAfee (whichever you have) and you should still have no issues.
Make a back-up repair disc. Ooooops......no you cant...........at least my laptop can`t.
I don`t know why.....
Tell me tosh..... why does windows x64 refuse to allow me to make a system boot disc (even though the laptop is all driver updated and Windows updated)?
Uninstall MalwareBytes when Norton/McAfee tells you there will be a conflict between the two programs.
It tells you to re-boot after uninstalling it.
Then when it re-boots you get a black screen. You cannot even get to bios. You think ytour laptop is turned into a brick frisbee. You pull out the battery in frustration after five minutes.
You replace and re-boot....but again you get no bios or boot up.... you think its destroyed the Bios or graphics somehow....youo can hear the hard-drive but you have no clue whats going on..
Around this time you shake the laptop in frustration.....
Calm down.
Switch on and leave FIFTEEN MINUTES....Ten of which will be a Black nothing screen with maybe a single white underscore line in the top left corner.LEAVE IT ALONE.
Make a sunday dinner for ten people....When you go back to the computer it will be up and running.
When you re-boot again, it will be dead black for five minutes...then boots up... you still think it has a problem... LEAVE IT.
When you reboot again it should work perfect (assuming you have not been overheating it by using it on a cushion on your lap and overheating the insides [use a laptop fan tray]) if you have not shaken your hard drive or caused scrambled damage by pulling the power fifty times like some people do.
I have lost three hard drives and thousands of Gigabytes of treasured family memories discovering the secret the hard way.
Enjoy.
Buy a different brand next time.

[SOLVED]installation: partition size FAIL, too small /var
Yeah, I managed to make a mess again.
I thought I had given the /var 15 GB and it turned out to be 1.5 GB, now I'm facing this situation:
[tomislav@shakenbake ~]$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2 14G 2.5G 11G 19% /
udev 10M 216K 9.8M 3% /dev

/dev/sda1 464M 23M 418M 6% /boot
/dev/sda3 1.4G 1.1G 327M 78% /var
/dev/sda6 274G 1.8G 258G 1% /home
[tomislav@shakenbake ~]$
the 78% filled var is a BIG mistake. What do I do now? Should I use rsync and do a system backup, resize the /home partition using the cfdisk command and an Archlinux live CD, then copy everything back? Do this just for these two partitions (home and var are adjacent)?
Can I use rsync in a way that it stores the partition information, although I will send everything onto a single partition on an external HDD?
Damn it. This is what happens when you hurry: the newbness deamons get you.

Everything works: I've managed to resize the partitions manually using cfdisk and creating the filesystems.
Still, "df -h" doesn't seem to notice the difference. I have written the partition table to disk during the cfdisk session, but something is wrong.

I didn't have to change /etc/fstab because the names of the partitions and the file systems remained the same after resizing.
The only thing that I've missed was the swap being actually between /var and /home but I've just moved everything by deleting/recreating/reformatting.
Why doesn't the kernel read from the written new partition table and still shows the wrong (old) sizes for the partitions?
I have done a system update, just to be sure, and as above in the "df -h" output, I've seen that my /var is now over 80% full, although I have resized it to 10 GB.
Although the swap is not mounted, I have tested it by using "pm-hibernate" and it works perfectly. It gets mounted and the session gets saved. I have some brightness issues there, but that's another problem...
Any advice? -
Just turned my tv and box on and it says boot fail. Invalid signature. Can anyone suggest what I do?
Switch it off and try it again. Do this a few times if this still persists then I'm afraid dead may have a dead box.
Before phoning however try this :
Factory Reset
Switch off the Vision+ box at the mains socket
Hold down the front panel OK and down arrow buttons
Switch on the power to the Vision+ box
Allow the box to start up (about 15 seconds)
Release the OK and down arrow buttons
The Vision+ box will then contact the servers to get a new copy of its firmware
This will take around 30 minutes

Is or is not "Application & Driver Recovery DVD" bootable? - SafeMode boot fails-corrupt CryptUI.dll
I'm trying to recover my daughter's Pavilion dm4-3170se. My daughter had not made a recovery disk and has no recent back-up of her data file set.
Problems (and what I have done so far) are quite parallel to what the user reported in this amazingly detailed post:
Difference is that in Safe Mode boot (command line or not), Windows boot fails on a dll, specifically CryptUI.DLL.
While amazingly detailed post user isn't getting into Windows boot, I am...for about 30 DLLs before it chokes on the corrupted one. I have tried a number of other things to get past it to no avail.
My daughter's original Recovery Disc set bought the farm when her house burned. So I ordered and got a replacement set from HP. I am loathe to use it before recovering her data files because she will lose maybe 40% of her professional work.
The delivered Recovery Disc set includes an "Application and Driver Recovery DVD". Given >20 years of Wintel machine tradition, I'm presuming it's bootable. Amazingly Detailed Post user got hers to boot from her DVD drive. But configuring the BIOS to seek the DVD drive as the first boot choice doesn't get it to boot after two tries.
Before I pour more time into this, I'd like the Collective Wisdom here.
Q1: Is this HP disc, numbered 691822-B22, meant to be bootable?
Q2a: If it is, do you imagine I can use the command line interface to copy identifed-as-bad DLL(s) to the HD?
Q2b: If it isn't, why the, er, gollygoshdarn isn't it? Must be an actual reasonable thing...
Thanks for all insights based on experience.
This question was solved.
View Solution.Hi:
Any HP application and driver DVD I have ever used is not bootable.
It should autorun from the windows desktop once windows has been reinstalled.
That is the only question I can answer of the ones you asked.
Suggestion...
Make your own W7 installation ISO from the link below.
Use that to install W7 and do not delete any partitions or format the drive.
Windows will install and create a Windows.old folder of the current operating system.
Then you can copy any files you need from the Windows.old folder after W7 is installed.
Once you are sure you got what you need, run the recovery disk set to restore the hard drive to its out of the box condition.
Link to W7 ISO files is below. Use the W7 x64 home premium file from the SP1 Media Refresh listing.
http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/14709-Windows-7-Digital-River-direct-links-Multiple-Languag...
Then use this tool to transfer the iso file onto a DVD or 4 GB USB flash drive. The tool will also make the iso file bootable.

ArchTaz Live: boot and run an Arch system entirely in RAM
ArchTaz Live Boot: A method to boot and run an Arch system entirely in RAM using tmpfs.
As the name suggests it was inspired by (copied entirely from) SliTaz http://www.slitaz.org/ and boots in exacly the same way.
It needs a custom init script in the root directory and for some reason that I can't work out a hook for sysinit_premount in rc.sysinit to remount / rw.
The /usr/bin/archfs script is just a chunk of Slitaz's Tazusb utility with some minor changes (and I haven't properly tested the lzma or no compression).
The /init script is modified from the usual initramfs /usr/lib/initcpio/init with hints from the SliTaz /init script (and some personal additions for my system).
Copy init to the root directory, run archfs (eg. # archfs writefs gzip) and move the resulting archfs.gz to your boot partition/directory and boot with archfs.gz as your initrd.
I run a fairly light system (Openbox, Firefox, Gnome-Mplayer, SpaceFM, no dev packages) and gzip compression gives me an archfs.gz just over 230MB that boots in just over 30 seconds using 138MB RAM on startup, and most applications start instantly (2GHz Core2Duo, 4G RAM). Lzma compression generally gives a smaller archfs.gz but takes longer to boot. I have a persistent home partition, I install packages as I need them and then they're gone on next reboot if I don't do a new archfs.gz to keep them. I delete man pages, unneeded locales, etc. Obviously if you're running a hefty install on a limited box you may run into problems.
Any tips, cleanups, corrections welcome. It's been a mostly copy and paste and mash stuff together process so it isn't neat. And I think I may need some serious help when systemd becomes default.

Right, new boot process:
Using hooks in normal initramfs-linux.img to unpack archfs.gz into tmpfs and boot it.
Create an initcpio preset file /etc/mkinitcpio.d/archfs.preset:
# mkinitcpio preset file for the 'archfs' package
ALL_config="/etc/mkinitcpio.conf"
ALL_kver="/boot/vmlinuz-linux"
PRESETS=('archfs')
archfs_config="/etc/mkinitcpio.conf"
archfs_image="/boot/archfs-linux.lzo"
archfs_options="-S fsck -A tmpfs -z lzop"
Or append to the standard 'linux.preset' file so the initramfs is created automatically when you upgrade your kernel. Or alter /etc/mkinitcpio.conf to add options.
Create the file /lib/initcpio/hooks/tmpfs:
#!/usr/bin/ash
run_latehook() {
# Mount tmpfs root
mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /mnt
# Unpack rootfs
msg "Unpacking rootfs..."
cd /mnt
# parse the kernel command line

This loads modules and fsck binaries for the filesystem of my /boot partition into the initramfs. It also adds all the relevant compression binaries (some which can also be compiled into busybox or left out if not needed). I'm working on automatically reading the filesystem from your /boot partition based on the "root=" kernel command line option and adding the appropriate modules.
Create a new archfs.gz (or new extensions) with new cleaned up /usr/bin/archfs:
http://pastebin.com/xiqgyYyL
Now run with:
# archfs lzo
(or whichever crompression you choose). It also takes care of any mounting directories you have in /mnt. And "writefs" is no longer needed, that's all it does anyway.
Then simply add the "root=(your boot partition)" and "archfs=lzo" (or whichever compression you chose) command line options to your grub.cfg.
Run:
# mkinitcpio -p archfs
That'll create an initramfs: archfs-linux.lzo that you need to move to your boot partition with your kernel and archfs.gz. Then point grub to that as your initrd.
This will boot and the tmpfs hook will do it's work just after init has mounted your boot partition and then init will switch roots and run /sbin/init as it would on any normal install.
Mix and match as needed. You can remove the /init file from the root of your filesystem or leave it there and all but an xz compressed archfs.gz will boot the old way aswell (the kernel can't handle the xz version). It should all be fairly upgrade proof, barring any major changes to mkinitcpio.
Boot for me with lzo compression is at least twice as fast as old method. Partly due to lzo compression which is super fast (especially creating the archfs.lzo). It makes for a bigger file but it's still only 350MB (pretty much half my uncompressed root filesystem). -

Error in File ~tmpf3c80895162f60.rpt:
I have looked the configuration of Crystal Job Server, Reports Cache Server and Processing Server, nothing obvious that has limited the connection to 10 mins. I have extended the time in CRConfig.xml still no luck.
There are other reports on the server using direct db connection and run fine for 2 hours+.
Anyone has experienced this before and aware of any configuration that might cause the report to fail in 10 mins?
Many thanks,
ShanHi Shan,
You can refer to the following SAP KBA for the issue:
1204347 - Error: "Failed to retrieve data from the database" when using Javabeans as a datasource
The SAP Note is for BO XI R2; however, you can try the same resolution for BO XI 3.1.
Hope this helps.

Lets break down the facts here: My machine is an Intel-Based iMac running Mavericks - 1TB Hitachi Hard Drive
1. Was running an initial baseline image with Time Machine when the computer froze - waited hours - nothing got better and no functions were possible (force quit, etc.)
2. Hard Reboot
3. Upon reboot, the iMac was unable to load the log-in screen. The image was a folder with a "?" on it.
4. Rebooted with option key held down and selected Macintosh HD - Boot Failed
5. Restarted and Rebooted with Command R held down
6. Ran Disk Verify and Disk Repair - returned errors round one.
7. Ran Disk Verify and Disk Repair - Returned no Errors
8. Restart - Boot failed - the "NO" symbol replaced the apple symbol
9. Reboot with Command R
10. Attempt to mount Macintosh HD
11. Mount Failed.
12. Shutdown
13. Connect Firwire to Host computer and Target Computer
14. Boot with Command T
15. TDM entered - Host Machine cannot read Target Hard Drive
16. Shutdown
17. Boot with Command S
18. Endless loop created - Multiple errors including:
- failed to open create the journal retval 0
- could not read 512 bytes for the journal header - Return 22
- Errorno 19
- hfs_mounterror return: 22
Short of springing for a software online, I have no idea what the next steps are to getting my data moved from the Macintosh HD to my external so I can just reformat and install the OS again. Any help would be greatly appreciated, this is is a serious headache and I cannot lose my data - Thats what I was backing it up for in the first place!!!!You may not have the luxury of having another Mac but you must know someone who does. You need to boot your Mac into target disk mode. This is going to be your best bet as far as saving your files. Keep in mind that everytime you mess with this computer you are further endangering your data. Also, once your Mac is booted as a target disk, it may be possible to mount it on a windoze computer just to copy your files to another drive. I used to have one here and if i still did I would try this for you but I "offed" it in favor on running windoze (Parallels) on my MBP. But, one way or another, you need to get next to another computer.

Install fails? Mac Mini won't work??
I partitioned my Mac Mini, giving it 15GB of space. Went into install and I get:
Setup is inspecting your hardware configuration_
for maybe a second. Then I have a black screen. Anything particular I'm doing wrong? I've heard that you may need an Apple Cinema Display to install Boot Camp on the mini... true?
