[Solved] Boot failure after upgrade to udev 0.84

After upgrading my system it no longer boot properly.
The kernel boots fine. Initrd executes and the normal init starts.
First of is the start of udev. This starts and immediately complains that nss_ldap is unable to contact the ldap server. Not very strange when networking isn't started yet.
After a little while and a few repetitions of the nss_ldap error message udev says its done.
After this activating swap fails but mounting Root readonly succeds. After this init proceeds with "Checking file system". This fails miserably saying "no such file or directory /dev/sda3" which is the previously mounted root filesystem.
It seems like udev gets busy when not able to connect to the ldap server and hence doesn't create the device nodes for my harddrive in time.
Because the check of the filesystem fails i end up on a rescue prompt. And when logging in to that and check /dev the sda* nodes are there.
Does anyone have a clue on how udev depends on nss_ldap? Any other thought on whats going on?

Ok, after some investigation it turns out that it seems like udev starts a few /sbin/vol_id on the disks/partitions attached. These processes in turn triggered nss_ldap which couldnt connect to the remote ldap server due to network not being up.
I have a less than beautiful solution to the problem. Altering nss_ldap to do soft binds instead of the default that is hard binding. When using hard bind and connect fails it uses an exponential backoff and tries again a little later. Changing to soft bind makes nss_ldap returning immediately when failing.
To  change this edit  /etc/nss_ldap.conf and change the line saying something like
#bind_policy hard
to
bind_policy soft
This at least helped me getting a system that boots again.

    I searched on internet, I think this is caused by my graphic card(ATI 5750), but I have no idea to solve it
    I don't know my system boot failure due to these error or another things.
    my PC specs:
    motherbroad - gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3 (bios ver - F11)
    cpu -  i5-750
    display - ati 5750
    os - arch 64bit
    Currently, I have downgraded back to 3.13.
    I hope someone can give me some idea,
    Thanks

    As there are errors associated with ntpd, I would temporarily disable the ntpd service and also ipv6.
    If they are not the only problem, at least your logs would be easier to examine for other problems.

  • [SOLVED] Boot failure after system update

    Been running nicely for a few months, but after a  -Syu update yesterday morning, the boot process fails immediately after the bit about "Processing Udev events", which memory tells me is the point in the boot process where the screen resolution changes up, so it's my video driver I'm suspecting.  I'm running a middle-aged PC with a middle-aged nVidia card, which the nouveau drivers have managed very nicely up to this point, but something in the latest kernel seems to be causing mischief.  This machine dual-boots Arch with Windows 98; the latter is working just fine, as do other linux distros booted from a live CD, so I'm sure the hardware itself is OK. 
    After I see the line about processing Udev events, all I get is a completely black screen, but no report of "no signal" from the monitor.  No key presses or Ctrl-Alt-Del combinations have any effect.
    If I was to post the relevant log file, would some kind soul take a look?  I'm no expert AT ALL, so please tell me which one(s) to post!
    TIA,
    Piers.

    Many thanks -- but I seem to have the same problem in single-user mode.  Followed instructions in your second link, appending "single" or "Single" at the end of the "kernel..." line, and then pressing b.  Same result as before, it gets as far as the line "Waiting for Udev to process uevents...... [BUSY]" and then screen goes to black.
    My other difficulty is, and this is where I start sounding a bit feeble; I can look at errors.log, or everything.log, but it's all rather Greek to me, and even if I see something that makes it quite clear that it is the nouveau driver that needs re-installing, I really don't see how I can re-install the driver if I can't even get as far as a command prompt?
    FWIW, I'm seeing in errors.log
    "[drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: mem timing table length unknown: 14"
    ... but I've seen that before, and it's never been fatal.

  • [SOLVED] Boot loop after upgrade

    Hi all,
    When i try to boot arch, even in fallback mode, boot fail and go in loop.
    loop happen just after the display of nvidia logo, then it try to do something (not showed in screen), it fail, and the nvidia logo is showen again.
    I can't access to GDM, i can't turn off computer (have to remove battery from my laptop), i can't access to terminal/console/virtual console.
    Last things i've made:
    - full update system (pacman -Syu)
    - changed /etc/environment adding this line (i was trying to solve tearing problem):
    CLUTTER_PAINT=disable-clipped-redraws:disable-culling
    CLUTTER_VBLANK=True
    nothing seem to work
    i've already removed the 2 added lines from another linux distro i've on the same computer, so i don't think /etc/environment is a problem here
    don't know what to do and how to solve...
    any hints?
    thanks
    Nico

    I have exactly the same problem,
    Did a full update with pacman.
    I haven't updated with yaourt, because I had some problems and rebooted, but now I cannot access the terminal.
    If I switch to tty1, I constantly switch back. Ctrl+Alt+Backspace is not enabled and I'm not sure it would work.
    I've tried to only boot to runlevel 3, but gdm is in the daemons or I did something wrong because I boot into X again.
    Anyone have an idea how to solve this?
    Thanks
    EDIT: solved it for me
    Step 1: on boot let GRUB only boot to init 1
    Step 2: change config files so not to start X
    Step 3: reboot so you have networking support
    Step 4: search in aur if you have a your own cairo package (pacman -Qm)
    Step 5: rebuilt that cairo package
    Step 6: start X
    * step 2 and 3 are maybe not needed if you know how to get networking in init 1. Re;ember to undo the changes in Step 2 so X starts at boot again.

    The issue occurred after upgrading from xf86-video-intel-v2.99.912-1 to v2.99.914+ and xorg-server-1.15.2-1 to 1.16.0-6 (and -devel).
    same issue if:
    - Switching accelaration method to "UXA" as per https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/40860
    - Adding    Option "DRI" "False"
    Digged a bit:
    - same modules errors but appears to be a Gnome bug (X starts): https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1441716
    - same modules errors but X starts up without problems http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions … 175511372/
    makes me doubt if this issue is related to the modules not found. Which is the single indication I found so far x-/
    Any light on where can the issue comes from? hardware is pretty much standard even if getting a bit old. Never had Xorg related issue so far on this pancake.

  • Problem: Mac won't boot up after upgrade to 10.5.4

    Upgraded MacBook Air (SSD model) to 10.5.4 last night. Got a couple of boots where MBA showed a grey panel in the centre of the screen (in 4 languages) saying that I needed to restart my computer. On the third try got the white Apple startup, then a plain light blue screen. I know from previous upgrades that can sit for a while, so I left it overnight. In the morning, still blue. Power off, power on, grey panel telling me to restart again. Seems to be in a cycle of twice with a grey box, then the blue screen. Any ideas?
    Everything is backed up, so if I get it sort-of working, I can restore to my last good 10.5.3 and take it from there.

    Hi,
    it happened to me too.
    I've G4 mini with 1Gb RAM: with 10.5.3 everything was working fine.
    Once upgraded to 10.5.4 and reboot, the Mac just won't start: blue screen with mouse cursor but nothing more.
    Additionally, the mac becomes extremely noisy as for some process taking out all the CPU.
    It's the second time I got a system failure after upgrading Leopard: this starts to be annoying.

  • [SOLVED] Broken setup after upgrading to 2.6.29

    I am running a x86_64 system.
    I have been running kernel26-2.6.28.7-2 for a while now. Upgrade to kernel26-2.6.28.8-1 caused some problem for me so I installed the older version from /var/cache/pacman/pkg/. After upgrading day before yesterday to 2.6.29.1, I can boot and login to the system but pretty much nothing works. The obvious problem that I can find out is that everyting is trying to load modules from 2.6.28-ARCH. After logging in even 'uname -r' reports 2.6.28-ARCH. I do have the /lib/modules/2.6.29-ARCH folder with all the modules.
    Any help will be much appreciated. I can provide further information if required. Thank you.

    I was able to solve it. The problem was I was using grub installed from Ubuntu. So, there was some problem loading the kernel. Installing grub from arch fixed it. Thanks.

  • [SOLVED] System freeze after upgrade linux-3.12.9-2 to linux-3.13.4-1

    After upgrading from kernel 3.12.9 to 3.13.4 (booth x86_64 architecture) i detected system freeze after round about 0.5s of the login screen about 80% of the time.
    So i first thought it coulbe be the the ati driver and uninstalled that via livecd/chroot.
    But the same thing happens in comand line only mode.
    Afterwards i setup at ssh server to get into the maschine if it is still running, but is was also not responding to that.
    Downgrading to 3.12.9 solved the issue. In journalctl i could not find any usefull information.

    1. Not exactly a solution, more like a temporary workaround.
    2. Please open a bug report, although dhcpcd 6.0.5-1 works fine for me.
    3. When pasting configs, code or command output, please use [ code ] tags https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode
    like this
    It makes the code more readable and - in case of longer listings - more convenient to scroll through.

  • Safari Plug-In Failure after upgrading Flash Player

    I've got OS X 10.9.2, Maverick, running on my iMac, and Safari 7.0.3.
    Today I upgraded Flash Player to 13.0.0.182 version.
    After upgrading I starting receiving the error message "Plug-in Failure" in every page I opened with video broadcasting, such as Youtube for instances, and no videos would be displayed anymore.
    I already reinstalled Flash Player, rebooted my machine, have all plug-ins enabled in Safari Preferences, but no success whatsoever.
    Think the solution could be downgrading to the early version of Flash Player, but have no idea how to do that now, since the Adobe site only allows me to UPgrade and not DOWNgrade.
    Could anyone help me with this?
    Many Thanks...

    From the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. Test.

  • Firefox boots slow after upgrading to v28

    After upgrading to v28, firefox boots in 8secs instead of 1sec, only when I "Use hardware acceleration when available".
    My graphics card is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti, with 335.23 drivers installed.
    The problem occurs in soft and hard boot (even if i close firefox and re-execute it.)
    Is there something I could do?

    If hardware acceleration in Firefox isn't working properly then you will have to disable it and possibly check if there is an update for the graphics display driver.

  • 4404 WLC stuck in boot loop after upgrade

    In prepping for the upgrade to 4.1.185.0 I've got two controllers at different sites stuck in a boot loop after applying 4.0.219.0. Units will not even get to the <ESC> option menu.
    ANy ideas?

    Did you clear the configuration on the controller by using Option 5 in the boot menu? This will corrupt the boot image. You should not choose the clear config (option 5) from the boot menu on controllers running 3.2.78.0, 3.2.116.21, 3.2.150.6 or 3.2.150.10, 3.2.171.5 or 3.2.171.6, 4.0.155.5 or 4.0.179.8 and 4.0.179.11.

  • Boot problem after upgrading 2.7 to2.8

    After upgrading 2.7 to 2.8 and booting the drive:
    SunOS secondary boot Version 3.0
    prom_panic: Could not mount filesystem
    Then i have the loader debug prompt.
    I can boot the drive using the installation floppy (so i see that upgrade is ok)
    After booting with floppy i try "bootinstall" but it didn't change anything.
    Nothing wrong in the upgrade_log.
    The PC (old) is a Compaq deskpro with 2 SCSI drives.
    They are two slices on the boot HD, one is for the Compaq diags the other is for solaris /. Compaq diags boot well.
    Could someone help me ?
    Thanks in advance,
    Emmanuel
    (Please excuse my poor syntax, i learn english in the manpages)

    my suggestion is to learn slovakian off the linux man-pages, then install free-bsd with russian language support, learn russian with those man-pages, then install solaris with the swedish language option and learn to speak man pages there

  • [Solved]Black screen after "waiting for udev uevents to be processed"

    Hello friends,
    Starting from late Dec., my laptop goes black screen after "waiting for udev uevents to be processed", after updating kernel to 2.26.32.*.  The strange thing is that even the screen is black, the keyboard is working. For example, I can turn on/off the status lights of capslock and others. I guess something might be wrong with udev uevents configuration with regard to the latest kernel. I've noticed that in the new kernel, there are two drivers for intel integrated graphics. My laptop has a 855G, which is supposed to be functional by both drivers, at least according to the kernel description. Maybe because the udev is configured to use the second driver (for newer graphic chips), rather than the first driver, which caused the problem?
    Regards,
    Wen

    i.e:
    Background does not render properly, just shows black screen, Cannot use rightclick to make modifications, etc
    Has anyone else experienced this issue?
    =====================================
    Fix:
