[SOLVED] Boot 'really' directly, quickly? (using GRUB)

Hi there, just a silly question: is there a way to boot 'really' directly the OS?
I mean, I have Arch only on my hd, so I use hiddenmenu and timeout 0, but it seems that GRUB still wastes time loading useless stuff... or not?
Thank you in advance

I meant that maybe there was a way to avoid to load all the 'menu.lst' config in order to go straight to the action
Anyway, I read others' suggestions, thank you very much very interesting indeed

  • Dual boot with Two HDDs using GRUB?

    I thought I understood GRUB but this has got me puzzled.
    If I have two HDDs:
    hd0 = XP
    hd1,0 = Vista
    hd1,1 = Arch (I installed GRUB to this partition as well)
    and I want to use NTLDR to chainload GRUB, how do I do it if NTLDR is on (hd0,0)?
    On a normal (single HDD) dual boot setup it is quite easy: install the GRUB files to (hd0,1), dd the first 512 bytes in /dev/hda2 and copy it to hda1, then edit the boot.ini file in hda1 to load the dd image saved there.
    However, when NTLDR is on (hd0,0) and the GRUB stage1.5 and stage2 files are on (hd1,1) how can I achieve a dual boot system using NTLDR to chainload GRUB?  Can GRUB stage1 load from (hd0,0) and look for stage1.5/stage2 on a completely separate hard drive (hd1,1)?  Or can't it be done?
    As I said, it's got me beat.  Has anyone achieved this?

    See this for details.
    I don't think so -- the use of a bind mount means that the kernel image can go in the standard location, that's the whole point of it.
    @OP: Yes, just make sure to call the path to the respective kernel images relative to $ESP

    How do i install grub now ?
    L.E. : do not include the boot partition into LVM.
    Last edited by psycho (2013-08-01 18:58:18)

    Your first partition starts at block 63.  Grub has gotten so bloated that it now writes to not only the MBR, but also to the space from the MBR (after sector 0) to the start of the first partition, which these days is sector 2048.  This new start point is for alignment purposes.
    You either need to recreate your first partition and let fdsik align it to sector 2048, or you need to create a grub bios boot partition (as though you were using GPT).
    Honestly, although grub2 can handle this, I think putting /boot inside the LVM is a bad idea.  It just makes you totally reliant on grub2 with no other bootloader choice.  For example, if something in some poorly designed program decided to write some crap to the area between the MBR and the first partition (which applications have been known to do), and you had a USB flash drive with syslinux on it (which the Arch live media has), then you could not set it up to boot your disc.
    I think you should use the pvremove command to take that first partition out temporarily, then create two new partitions.  One for /boot and one to add back.  But this is not going to be very straight forward since you already have four primary partitions.  It might be better to convert your partitions to GPT (which is super easy using gdisk) because then you are limited to only 128 primary partitions instead of a measly four.  If you do that though, then you will have to make three new partitions if you want to continue to use grub2.  You will additionally need the grub bios partition mentioned above.  The grub2 wiki page had more info on this.  But then you should make the /boot partition and then the partition to add back.
    At the very least, you are going to have to remove the first partition so that it can be resized, and then add it back.  Hopefully, you have not already filled the LVM space, so that you can easily shift things around.

  • Boot fails / goes straight to grub command line

    Fair warning: this is gonna be the worst request for help ever, but I'm stranded with a phone and a busted laptop.
    So, as the title suggests my laptop goes straight to the grub command line.  Having never dealt with this, I'm not really sure how to go about debugging it.
    Checking dmesg, I don't really see anything that says CATASTROPHIC FAILURE.  Then again I don't really know if dmesg can catch this sort of error.
    It's been a couple weeks since I used this laptop, but I don't think I upgraded or anything.
    I tried mounting the fs and blindly reinstalling stuff like the kernel and systemd but no dice so far.
    I can't post the actual logs right now but I might be able to later if I find an Ethernet cable.
    I think I can probably figure it out myself if someone could just point me in the right direction i.e. what the general debugging process is for this scenario.
    Again, I know this is the worst request for help ever, but if someone could help this damsel in distress it would be greatly appreciated.

    Actually, your request for help is far from the worst I have ever seen.  In fact, it is pretty good.  You tell us the problem, the history, what you see, and what you have tried.  Are you using Grub classic, or Grub 2 ?
    Are you sure?  Any chance you have updated in the last couple weeks?  You may have upgraded to Grub 2 without having built a new configuration on the boot partition.
    Also, are you in the regular shell or the rescue shell ?  https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gr … mand_shell

  • [Solved]Boot from USB HDD - Root device doesn't exist. Major/minor

    My problem is that the kernel seems (or starts) to load, but then I get an error:
    Root device 'UUID=1234 . . .' doesn't exist.
    Attempting to create it.
    ERROR: Unable to determine major/minor number of root device "UUID=1234 . . .'
    You are being dropped into recovery shell
    I found a few links on the web and in the forums, but nothing that really solved it for me. The solved ones usually downgraded the kernel.  I haven't done that yet.  I thought I'd try here first.
    I have a 320GB USB HDD that I have been using to experiment with different linux distros.  I have a few working successfully (OpenSUSE,Mint,Ubuntu,Debian,Fedora,etc).  I'm very new at this but have been reading a lot and putting a lot of time into it.  I have legacy grub loaded on the MBR and use the menu.lst on my openSUSE partition to boot everything.  Because the partitions for some of the distros are so far into the disk I needed to create directories on openSUSE's /boot directory to contain the kernel and initrramfs files (like /boot/fedora).  This seems to work for the other distros.  I did the same thing for Arch.
    So when I installed Arch I haven't used the bootloader section of the installation.
    I'm using the 2011.08.09-netinstall-i686.iso Live CD.
    I tried a few things including:
    1.    changing the HOOKS in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
        a.    adding usb to the "HOOKS"
        b.    removing and adding autodetect
        c.    adding and removing "sata_sil" (although I'm not even sure if my device uses it)
    2.    changing the kernel line:
        a.    from using "UUID=" to (hd0,1) to sdb1.
        b.    added rootdelay=8
    3.    repartition all of my arch partitions using cfdisk from my Live CD and reinstall. I used gparted on OpenSUSE to do it the first time.
    This may be connected. When I fdisk -l from the Arch Live CD I get extra data and an error for each of my arch partitions (and only my arch partitions):
    Disk does't contain a valid partition table
    When I fdisk -l from OpenSUSE I don't get the data paragraphs or errors about the arch partitions?
    Here is my /etc/fstab:
    # /etc/fstab: static file system information
    # <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
    tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0

    I'm IN!  Thanks everyone for your suggestions!
    The arch system didn't like the identifier I was using for the root partition. By looking at the /dev/disk/by-id while the arch system was running, I could see what the system wanted me to call the partition.  So after the system error'd-out and I was in the recovery shell at the [ramfs /] prompt:
    # ls -lF /dev/disk/by-id > by-id.txt
    # vi by-id.txt
    I could have used any of the identifiers listed in the by-id (there were 3), by-uuid(1), by-label(1) or by path(1). I tried them all. I had to write these down by hand because it is a ram filesystem.
    The article that finally got me there is:
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pe … ice_naming
    Anyway my openSUSE grub menu.lst ended up like this:
    ####arch on sda10 - legacy grub

    It's easy once you: 1. beat your head against the wall
                        2. read further
                3. repeat 1 and 2

    The instructions on how to get started are printed on screen when the CD starts. Also, the excellent Beginner's Guide ( http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners_Guide ) has the information also. The link above will let you know how to use the guide during installation.

    I've tried F12 key, found a menu, started on the HD, found a new menu corresponding with the EFI directories (arch_grub, Microsoft....). Microsoft entry sent me on... grub menu
    EDIT: Can you try (note the extra line : "set gfxpayload=keep")
    It's time for diner (i'm in France). I'll see this in the next hour.
    Many thanks
    Seems like the actual Windows bootmgfw.efi was overwritten by grubx64.efi or something else. In the boot menu Windows's entry (created by Windows installer) is usually titled "Windows Boot Manager".
    EDIT:
    Try this. Copy the files from Windows's C:\Windows\Boot\EFI to <EFISYS>/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/ . Overwrite any exisitng files, and make sure <EFISYS>/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/BCD file exists. That is the Windows equivalent of grub.cfg (although BCD cannot be read easily since it is not a text file). Try your menuentry again.

  • Dual boot windows from USB via grub?

    HI all:
    I recently had a motherboard failure on an existing PC on which I dual-booted Windows XP and Gentoo.  I replaced that box with a new HP PC preloaded with Vista.  Wiped that immediately, and installed ARCH.  But, I would like to also boot XP, and, since my old hard drive is still OK (I have it in an external USB adapter), I was thinking that I might configure grub to point at an external USB drive like this:
    # Windows XP
    title Windows XP
    root (hd1,0)
    makeactive
    chainloader +1
    where "hd1" (I hope) would point at my old drive, now connected via USB.  In this way, I am really booting from my HDD (where grub lives), but "chain loading" from my USB external.  Can this work??

    dvh wrote:
    I configured as shown in the wiki, but when I try to boot XP, I get a message that says something to the effect of "missing or corrupted <windows root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe".  I checked the disk and it seems to be there and OK.  I get the feeling that it is either NOT finding the hard disk (or partition) or it cannot interpret the NTFS file system (but grub was able to boot this before,...).  So, two questions...
    1) how do I know what the designator for the external USB hard disk will be?  I have speculated that grub will find it at "hd1", but maybe not?
    2) does the target disk NEED a windows boot loader?  as I said earlier, I used to dual boot it, so there is a grub loader on that disk also.
    ...ok, three questions...
    3) anything else that I should consider??
    Thanks again for any help.
    -dvh
    1) i don'tknow a way to check this, but the
    missing or corrupted <windows root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe message comes from the windows boot process,
    so it seems grub is configured correctly.
    The main problem is that BOTH grub and windows boot need to have the correct settings.
    Windows takes the settings for boot from the boot.ini file in the root of C:\ , and that probably needs to be changed.
    You will need some way to get read/write access to the windows C-drive partition.
    Install ntfs-3g in archlinux (see NTFS_Write_Support ) and post the contents of boot.ini .

    I guess this won't work. GRUB apparently creates a mapping in the BIOS here, but as soon as Linux boots, it doesn't care about what the BIOS says and accesses hardware directly. You should do the following instead:
    If you have a USB stick that you can completely erase, use the .img file and copy it to the stick with dd.
    If not, you can try to place the files on any filesystem (usb, hard drive, everything) like this:
    * Mount the ISO
    * Copy the *.sqfs files and the isomounts file to the root directory on any filesystem (I think ntfs will not work, but fat32, ext2, ext3, ext4 should)
    * Copy the vmlinuz26 and the initcpio_pata.img files from the /boot directory anywhere (can be the same filesystem as above, but doesn't have to be - we'll assume this is accesible from grub by (hd1,2)/boot below)
    Now add the following GRUB entry:
    title Arch Live
    kernel (hd1,2)/boot/vmlinuz26 lang=en locale=en_US.UTF-8 archisolabel=YOURLABEL ramdisk_size=75%
    initrd (hd1,2)/boot/initcpio_pata.img
    Above, replace YOURLABEL with the label of the filesystem you copied the isomounts and *.sqfs to. If the filesystem doesn't have a label, give it one.

  • [SOLVED] Booting from Asus U3S6 SATA Controller fails

    Since the SATA controllers on my mainboard stopped working yesterday, I bought a Asus U3S6 Controller in the hope to work around the problem in this way. The drive is detected by the BIOS and GRUB is invoked correctly. However, when I try to load the kernel, I get following message:
    Waiting 10 seconds for device /dev/sdb3 ...
    ERROR: Unable to find root device '/dev/sdb3'.
    You are being dropped to a recovery shell
    In the recovery shell I cannot find any disk device under /dev/. Is this kind of booting supposed to work? When is the PCI controller actually detected and activated by the kernel?
    Any help appreciated!
    Last edited by smyp (2014-02-01 07:53:22)

    I solved the problem.
    I used used the chroot guide to modify my environment:
    I had to add ahci to the list of modules in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and rebuild it with
    mkinitcpio -p linux
    This will then load the AHCI module at boot time and enable the SATA devices.

  • Can i use old machines with PXE to boot VDI Operating Systems using Windows Server?

    Hi,
    I would like to know if it is posible to create an architecture with Windows Server 2012 R2 configuring VDIs and use these VDIs with my old hardware. I would like to boot my old machines using PXE directly from the VDI images so i dont need to install any
    operatig system in my old hardware.
    The situtation i have,  is a computer room we use for trainings. I have all these machines with Windows XP and 2Gb RAM and i dont want to replace all machines at the moment. I was thinking to use VDIs to solve this situation.
    The reason for booting up using PXE is that i dont want users to start up computers in Windows XP and then run RDP to start up the VDI. I would like a solution where users should not be able to do anything and machines boot up directly to
    the VDI environment. 
    I would appreciate any suggestions to my requirements based in your experience.
    Many thanks and kind regards
    Julian

    Hi Julianesco,
    I have not heard of people PXE booting to a VDI deployment, normally something like a thin terminal or wise terminal is used to boot to a basic RDP connector.
    You can use Windows Thin PC
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/enterprise/products-and-technologies/virtualization/thinpc.aspx
    or I have seen a few options like this as a cut down client to make use of old hardware.

  • [SOLVED] Booting to SD card (mmcblk0) with Grub2

    I have a laptop with win7/Ubuntu on the hard drive; this laptop also has an SDHC slot.
    For my own reasons I decided to install Arch on an SD card.
    I installed arch according to this very helpful post: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=398679
    Since the system already boots with Grub2 from the Ubuntu install I skipped the grub install steps.
    My BIOS cannot boot to SD cards (even with the bootable flag set on the mmcblk0p1 partition)
    I booted into Ubuntu and ran update-grub, this added the following entry to the Grub2 boot menu: "Arch (on /dev/mmcblk0p1)"
    Booting to this gives three errors:
    no such device (error lists correct UUID of SD card)
    hd2,1 cannot get C/H/S values
    you need to load the kernel first
    the entry in grub.cfg is:
    ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###
    menuentry "Arch (on /dev/mmcblk0p1)" {
    insmod ext2
    set root='(hd2,1)'
    search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 7b8f752b-2d7e-46f9-9989-77ff1e481b97
    linux /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/mmcblk0p1
    initrd /boot/kernel26.img
    Last edited by crotonic (2010-05-22 05:23:01)

    I have got the system to boot the way I want and will try to detail it for others
    1) Make a kernel that can boot an SDHC card
    I found this list of needed kernel modules for doing this with ubuntu: http://www.linuxformat.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=11709
    First I chroot-ed from ubuntu into my sd card according to: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … ting_Linux
    then using the wiki as my guide: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mkinitcpio
    I copied /etc/mkinitcpio.conf to a new file /etc/mkinitcpio-custom.conf
    and edited the modules line to look like so
    MODULES="mmc_core mmc_block sdhci sdhci-pci"
    then ran (still while chroot-ed of course) note that the -k option should match the version that you are using (mine is 2.6.33)
    # mkinitcpio -c /etc/mkinitcpio-custom.conf -g /boot/kernel26-custom.img -k 2.6.33-ARCH
    exit the chroot back to ubuntu
    2) Move the files to the boot partition
    I am using ubuntu's partition as the boot since that is where grub2 is installed
    First I made a copy and renamed vmlinuz26 to vmlinuz26-custom
    and another copy/rename to make System.map26-custom
    NOTE: I am not sure if renaming these helps/hurts/or doesnt matter (feed back appreciated)
    then I moved those 2 files and kernel26-custom.img to the /boot of the ubuntu /
    3) Setup a working grub.cfg
    Since it is recommended to not edit grub.cfg directly in Grub2 I just added the following entry to /etc/grub.d/40_custom
    menuentry "Arch (on /dev/mmcblk0p1) custom" {
    set root='(hd0,5)'
    linux /boot/vmlinuz26-custom root=/dev/mmcblk0p1
    initrd /boot/kernel26-custom.img
    and run this
    update-grub
    hd0,5 is grub2 notation for my ubuntu partition (where /boot is of course)
    This is all I did to get it running that I can remember
    Arch's /etc/fstab is:
    # <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
    /dev/mmcblk0p1 / ext2 defaults,noatime 0 1

    I can boot into Arch using the setup I described above with a totally empty /boot on the Arch partition
    Should I care that it is not mounted?
    I hope this helps other people trying to boot from SD cards

  • Hi all...  Just upgraded from OSX 10.6.8 to Mavricks, my Macbook Pro boots really slowly, and closes slowly.  I'd really appreciate help!

    I just installed Mavricks over Snow Lepard, and my boot speed is really slow and so is the quit time.  From boot to ability to use apps. is slightly greater than 1 minute.  Once the desk top appears, the icons in the dock and all aps are not active for at least 25-30 seconds.  I would really appreciate any advice anyone more knowledgeable that I can offer.  I have attached my system boot log from BOOT_TIME to 1 minute past the time on the clock when I logged in. (I apologize in advance for the length of the log, but hopefully it will suply the needed clues):

    Thanks again... Happy upcoming Turkey Day!

    In the future please don't post so much information unless you are asked for it. Most of what you posted is useless.
    Here's what you can try:
    Try these in order:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
         after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
         Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • [solved] Booting a "Multiboot" OS only works with high amounts of mem

    edit: ok, I hate when it happens, but I've just found the solution: raising the memory reserved for the virtual machine. It's funny, however, that such simple kernel won't boot with less than 128MB of RAM.
    I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this question, but as it's at least indirectly related to programming, I'll post it here.
    Recently I've read Tenenbaum's book about Minix and now I'm feeling like hacking a simple OS if only for saying "I can do it". The problem is I got stuck right at the first step: booting. I wasn't willing to implement a bootloader so I decided to use Grub and implement a Multiboot compatible kernel.
    Running 'info multiboot' you can see a example showing how to implement a "multiboot" kernel. I used exactly the same code and compiled it with:
    gcc -nostartfiles -nodefaultlibs -o kernel boot.S kernel.c
    The code compiles with two warnings about redefinitions of printf, but it gives no errors. The 'kernel' file is less than 3KB big and running 'objdump -d kernel' seems to be fine.
    Satisfied with it, I've tried to create an ISO image so I could test it in a virtual machine (VirtualBox). I followed the instructions from Grub manual of how to install it in a CD (create a iso/boot/grub/ folder, put stage2_eltorito there, etc). I also created a menu.lst like this:
    default 0
    timeout 30
    fallback 1
    title Test
    root (cd)
    kernel /boot/kernel
    and created the ISO image with: 'mkisofs -R -b boot/grub/stage2_eltorito -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -o grub.iso iso' .
    I've tried to run it in a virtual machine and it boots, but when I press enter to run 'Test', which should run the kernel from the 'multiboot' example, grub gives me an error:
    Booting 'Test'
    root (cd)
    Filesystem type is iso9660, using whole disk.
    kernel /boot/kernel
    [Multiboot-elf, <0x8048000:0x803:0x0>
    Error 28: Selected item cannot fit into memory.
    Press any key to continue...
    And then it fallsback to the menu. (The menu shows [639k lower / 64448k upper memory])

    The linker is compiling your binary to the default location of 0x8000000. This is fine for Linux to load as an application (even with less than 128MB memory, Linux can use the MMU on the CPU to map anything to 0x8000000). However with ring0 code you are dealing with real physical memory locations. You would need either a linker script (which you can look up, also see: http://wiki.osdev.org/Linker_Scripts) or to specify the options on the command line with
    ld -Ttext 0x100000 etc.
    0x100000 is at 1MB, so that leaves BIOS memory unaffected. For memory management past that you should read a memory map, which is beyond the scope of this.
    Edit: Fix formatting issues.

  • My macbook has recently started getting really hot after using it for a brief time, is there something wrong

    Hi
    My macbook has started getting really hot after using it for only maybe 10 minutes or so, it can go up to 73 degrees quite quickly, I am only surfing the net etc but have a few pages open at the same time.
    Also should I switch it off after I finish using it or is it ok to leave it in sleep mode for long periods of time......
    it is about 1 year old
    thanks

    First try a SMC reset:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
    If there is no change, install istat menus:
    http://bjango.com/mac/istatmenus/
    Open Activity Monitor to ALL PROCESSES and %CPU to display values from high to low.
    Look for a process that consumes a large % of CPU.
    You may post images of both for inspection.
    Ciao.
