It just stops there and won't continue to boot. Disconnecting the SATA cable from my CD drive and using a flash drive to boot fixes these issues, but I didn't continue with the install because I wasn't sure if I would be unable to boot with the drive plugged in later. This is my CD drive. It's connected to a SATA 6GB/s port on my motherboard. The drive works perfectly in Windows.
Also, if anyone knows anything about the USB error, help would be appreciated. That was the only error that did not go away after disconnecting my CD drive. I only have a keyboard, mouse, and WiFi dongle plugged in.

Your issue with the SATA disc drive is a problem with Udev. Namely that some SATA disc drives do not support 16-byte pass-through commands coming from Udev. See this post for a longer explanation and the correct workaround:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=895404
Other guides online will say to comment out parts of Udev's 60-persistent-storage.rules file, but I have found that to not only not work, but mess up detection of the SATA hard drives.
So, after, or during, Arch installation using your USB stick:
Add
options libata atapi_passthru16=0
to /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf
Add
FILES="/etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf"
to /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
Rebuild kernel image with:
mkinitcpio -p linux
reboot
To narrow down your USB issue, maybe you could try booting with only one plugged in at a time to identify which one has the issue. Do they all three work even though one gives this message?

After 10.5.6, external drives cause boot to hang

When I boot my iMac, it hangs with the grey apple on a white screen of I have external firewire drives attached. It never gets to the point where the little gear starts revolving. When I unplug the drives, the boot goes to completion.
After booting, I can use any number of external firewire drives with no problems. All of my drives have passed Disk Utility checks.
I have several firewire 400 and one firewire 800 drive, all cause the same problem. I have tried resetting the firmware, which doesn't help.

Sorry, my posting indicated in the section below about my machine, that I use 10.5.5, but I use 10.5.6.

T61 nvidia driver causes font problems

after my last update a new graphics driver for the nvidia quadro 140m was installed.
the new version (7618) caused bad problems with my fonts. (they could not been displayed)
-> only squares for each letter
it took me a have day to find out, that it was the graphic driver (i didn't expected that).
After I reinstalled my fontexplorer and repared my windows installation several times,
it took me another half day to find the download to the old driver again. (7471)
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/7kd165ww.exe
now it works again with the old driver and i hope there will be an update and at least a notice in the thinkpad system update.
frustrated greets.

Hi Puschl636,
I had a similar problem. I have 3.03a of the presentation director and the most current display driver.
If I boot with dual screens, the first time I do it, I have to open the lid to the laptop and then close it after startup and it will usually move to the dual screen profile.
It may be a temp fix, but after that, as long as I have it docked, the dual screens come up.
Hope that helps!

External USB Hard Drive causes menu problem - menu items flash

Greetings:
I have a external USB hard drive (250 GB) that is partitioned into 3 hard drives. Two hard drives are formatted in MacOS standard and one is formatted in MacOS extended. I had to reformat the last drive in MacOS extended because the Macbook would not let me edit files on the drive.
The problem is that when I connect to the drives, the menu malfunctions (I cannot see the date and time and the menu items flash). Dismounting the drives solves the problem.
Do I need to reformat the hard drives? Or do I need a new USB drive?
Thank you.
EA

Hmm, someone else had a similar problem. Note the ":: Loading root filesystem module...-e" line. That "-e" shouldn't be there. It should be, instead, the module for the filesystem.
As a workaround for right now, you can add your filesystem module to the MODULES array, and remove the "filesystems" hook.
In that case, you'll probably want rootdelay=* to allow the drive some time to settle, and rootfstype=* to speed up filesystem detection while in kinit.
By the way, what filesystem do you have on that machine? Can you tell me what
/usr/lib/klibc/bin/fstype < /dev/sda1
outputs on a running system (you may need to be root, or add yourself to the "disk" group or something similar) - /dev/sda1 should be replaced if the usb drive is not sda1

[SOLVED] nvidia driver causes blank screen soon after boot

Hi,
I have a NVIDIA 560 and was originally using the nouveau driver, but that gave slow performance when doing anything (eg. resizing windows), so I installed the nvidia driver instead by following the wiki section:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NV … au_drivers
by essentially just following the scripts given there. After switching to nvidia, the screen goes blank soon after boot. I get back into the system by using nomodeset in menu.cfg.
My question is how do I even begin to find the problem, eg. what log file(s) should I look in and post?
Thanks

Yes it's the 560 Ti. Thanks I just installed straight from the repos. I've also installed cuda-sdk and cuda-toolkit. I've compiled the libraries inside /opt/cuda-sdk/CUDALibraries fine.
No I go to compile the sdk examples by running make in /opt/cuda-sdk/C and get the following error:

[SOLVED] USB Installation Media Boot Problems

Hi all,
I'm having trouble creating a live USB stick that my new (to me) HP Elitebook
2730p laptop can boot successfully. Here is what I've tried so far:
1. dd with the latest stable Arch installation media
In other words:
# dd if=/path/to/archlinux*.iso of=/dev/sdb
Result: I can boot with the USB stick on my old Dell laptop (which is running
Arch) without issue, but can't with the new HP. The BIOS will freeze if the USB
stick is inserted, and will only unfreeze after I remove it.
2. dd with a recent Arch installation media snapshot
The snapshot is ``archlinux-2012.06.05_04-00-01-core-x86_64.iso''. I
install the image to the USB stick with the same dd method above,
and I get the same behavior: works fine on the old Dell, but freezes the BIOS of
the new HP.
3. dd with an old lubuntu iso
This time, I used an old lubuntu iso
(lubuntu-11.10-desktop-amd64.iso) with dd. This method
worked without a problem -- both my old Dell and my new HP would boot it without
complaint.
3. unetbootin with the latest stable Arch installation media
Creating the USB stick with unetbootin allows me to boot the stick with the new
HP, but the boot fails to the ramfs prompt after ``Waiting 30 seconds for device
/dev/disk/by-label/ ...'' (notice how there's nothing after ``by-label/'').
Adding ``vmalloc=448M'' to the end of the unetbootin boot entry makes no
difference.
4. Image Writer for Windows
The ``USB Installation Media'' wiki page suggests using ``Image Writer for
Windows'' to create a bootable USB stick. I tried this method using Windows 7
Professional, and the result was the same as attempts 1 and 2: the USB stick
freezes the HP's BIOS.
Other notes
I've checked the md5sums of all the isos I've tried
I've updated the BIOS on the HP laptop
I've used the same USB stick for each of the above situations
The new HP laptop does not have an optical drive, and I don't own an
external one
In attempts 1, 2, and 4, I noticed that cfdisk shows that the partition
that contains the installation files has both the ``Bootable'' and ``NC'' flags
set. The cfdisk man page says that the latter flag stands for ``Not Compatible
with DOS or OS/2''. I can actually remove this flag by using the ``Maximize''
option in cfdisk, which actually makes the USB stick bootable by the HP
computer's BIOS, but the boot eventually fails to the ``ramfs prompt
thingy'' after saying ``ERROR: '/dev/disk/by-label/ARCH_201108' found, but the
filesystem type is unknown''
In attempt 3 (the lubuntu one), I noticed that cfdisk shows a bit of free
space in front of the partition that contains the lubuntu files. The ``NC'' flag
is not present when I run cdisk.
My current theory is this: I believe my new HP's BIOS is unhappy with the
``isohybrid-nature'' of the Arch installation media. Is there any way I can
confirm this, or obtain ``non-isohybrid'' Arch media?
As you might imagine, this has been pretty frustrating. Any help would be
greatly appreciated!

Duh. That's for booting it from RAM (with MEMDISK) in case it doesn't map the entire file, which for some reason it didn't for the i686 iso on my computer. I probably should've specified it when I wrote the article. I'll add it tomorrow morning.
Speaking of which, have you tried it?
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/US … O_from_RAM
Because you only seem to be using dd ("Image Writer" is the same) and Unetbootin (which had various problems since forever). The correct syntax for dd is:
$ sudo dd if=archlinux.iso of=/dev/sd[x]
Warning: Make sure to use /dev/sdx and NOT /dev/sdx1. This is a very common error!
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/US … _USB_drive
Haven't tried the ``Boot the entire ISO from RAM'' method yet. I'll give that a shot next.
The ``Boot the entire ISO from RAM'' method worked like a charm! Thanks,

Z87-G45 Gaming boot order changes itself causing boot problems

Okay so I got this new motherboard and everything worked fine yesterday.
But today when I tried to boot it couldn't find the boot.mgr so I looked from were
it tried to boot and it was my SSD were my games are located and it should be my SSD
where my system is installed, so I changed it and it booted right up with no problems.
then I just maked sure everything is okay so I restarted my pc and same thing only then
when I wanted to change the boot order my System SSD was gone So i restarted and
there it was again, so again I changed it and it booted right up and again I wanted to make sure it
would boot again when I restarted and.. well no it didn't and now it was my HDD which was my first boot
order so I have no idea what this mean and how I can solve this

Did you install your windows system using UEFI method or just the standard legacy mode?
If standard legacy mode then your first boot should be set to your HDD, and if you still can't get in the Windows,
try to plug the SATA cable and connect it again, also make sure that it is not your SSD itself that have problem,
cause i got Samsung 840 SSD before and it's causing many weird issues, sometimes even don't let me go to windows mode https://forum-en.msi.com/Smileys/msi/undecided.gif

[SOLVED] UEFI Virtualbox installation boot problems

Before I install Arch on my computer, I wanted to test the installation in Virtualbox. Because my motherboard has UEFI, I selected the EFI option in Virtualbox for a 64 bit Arch install.
I ran through the Beginners' Guide on the wiki and all seemed to go well. I rebooted the VM after the installation (forgetting to remove the ISO from the drive) and got the refind menu showing correctly and managed to boot in to my new Arch system from there. I also did a reboot (with the ISO still in the drive) and all was well. However, I then shutdown the system (shutdown -h now) and then powered it back on again and instead of going in to the refind menu, it goes to the archiso uefi boot menu and continues to boot from the ISO. So I powered down the VM again, removed the ISO from the drive and powered the VM back on again. This time, nothing booted and I was left in the UEFI shell.
Does anyone have any ideas why this has happened?
Last edited by ryan117 (2013-02-13 20:15:44)

This is probably because VirtualBox tends to forget its "NVRAM" settings when you reboot. There are a number of solutions to this problem. IMHO, the easiest is:
Boot using an emergency system.
Mount the ESP (probably /dev/sda1 -- the FAT partition that holds the boot loader).
Rename EFI/refind on the ESP to EFI/BOOT
Rename EFI/BOOT/refind_x64.efi to EFI/BOOT/bootx64.efi
Thereafter, rEFInd should appear when you reboot. If you subsequently upgrade rEFInd, you'll need to install it to its new location rather than to EFI/refind.
Alternatively, you can use the bcfg command in an EFI version 2 shell to register refind_x64.efi as the default boot program. This tends to get remembered, even when entries created by efibootmgr don't. This will require installing an EFI 2 shell, running it, and running the suitable bcfg command. (I think it's documented in the Arch wiki somewhere.)

Internal Drives Disappear & Boot Problems

I have a Quad Core, I had 4 drives in it. All 500 Gig Maxtor Drives.
Anytime the computer would lock up and be force reset stuff would act funny on one of the drives, it finally failed mechanically.
Shortly after another drive had errors that couldn't be resolved and the drive had to be reformatted, it was being used as a time machine drive.
I received a replacement drive from Maxtor and it wouldn't function in the machine. After dozens of tries I got it to work so I could initialize it.
I am not able to put 3 drives in the machine.
Anytime I do I just get a white screen - no apple, no circle loading pattern.
When I get the white screen the only key-sequence that's accepted is the PRAM Zap COMMAND/OPTION/P/R. No other key sequence is able to be used....no safe boot, so single user, no option boot, etc.
All of the drives work fine when connected to any computer using a USB cable/power adapter that's distributed by Other World Computing.
At this time I can only use 2 drives inside the machine at one time.
Are there any tests or diagnostics I can run to learn if there is any kind of ATA controller board or logic board?
Please share any similar problems or learned solutions.

Apple Hardware Test
TechTool Deluxe or Pro
Disk Warrior
Intech Speedtools
SuperDuper
Onyx or Leopard Cache Cleaner
are some of the tools I use to maintain system and drives.
I have had 4 x MaxLine Pro 500GB units from OWC
I would pick up 4 x WD Caviar 640 $80 from OWC at this point.
Are you sure that you are repairing and dealing with directory corruption and corrupt files and journal when this happens? ie, not boot from the drive but from a backup or emergency?
Did you ever use Partition to setup new single partition and do a zero-all or test for bad sectors?
Reset SMC?
Sounds more like it could be logicboard but only AHT and AppleCare can fully determine that.
A force restart is sure to damage the directory, volume information block, cache folders, and journaling.
The reason I replaced the MaxLines is they tend to run warmer, never below 40º even with SmcFanControl while WD drives, even Raptors are always in 28º winter and 35º summer.

Drive encryption - boot problem

Hi.
I just tried to installe Virtuel PC from Microsoft on my notebook, then it wanted to restart, but at restart it frooze with Starting Windows.
It seem that my drive is encrypted, even though I thought I had deactivated this function.
Now the problem is that I cannot read my drive.
It comes up where I have to enter my password / enter code, then it tries to start, but reports a problem with booting
Windows failed to start.
Insert your windows installation CD and restart
Make a repair.
File \Boot\BCD
Status : 0xc0000098
Any suggestions how to get further.
/Thanks in advance

Combo drive causes boot failure

How do you fix an iBook that will not boot from hard drive when the combo drive is plugged in to the logic board? If the drive cable is unplugged, the iBook will boot from the hard drive when connected to the firewire port. It will also boot from the logic board if the combo drive is unplugged. Is the problem the optical drive? Is it the cable? Is it the logic board?
The computer functions perfctly with the optcal drive removed.

Carl9170 driver causes kernel problem

I am an arch linux newb, just switched from ubuntu. However I do know just enough about linux to screw stuff up.
So, I have a SMCWUSB-N2 (USB atheros wireless N). Don't remember the exact chipset, but I do know the carl9170 driver supports it. The default arch version of carl9170 worked, but with horrible speed and frequent disconnects. So I downloaded the latest compat-wireless, built, and installed it. Now when I plug in the adapter the light on it stays solid (normally blinks with activity) and nothing else happens. Dmesg prints the following when I plug it in:

I blacklisted the ar9170usb driver as the wiki suggests, yet I still have problems. Is this a kernel bug that I should report, or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!

Have you installed the firmware? You can download it from here (http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/carl9170) and put it in /lib/firmware.

[SOLVED]Kernel 3.0 boot problems.

I recently built the 3.0 kernel (downloaded from kernel.org) and am trying to make it bootable.
After creating an image and editing grub, I get an error talking about how modules.dep was not found, that /dev/sda7 does not exist and can't be mounted to new_root, that I'm on my own and Good Luck, and then I get dropped to ram fs.
I listed the contents of the kernel26.img and kernel30.img and there is quite a difference even though they were both built using the same mkinitcpio.conf. kernel26.img was built with -p kernel26. I haven't found a preset for kernel30.
kernel26.img boots fine.
I think the .imgs need to be similar but I don't know how to make them similar. Or I could be completley wrong and on the wrong track. Any ideas?

# MODULES
# The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
# run. Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
# in this array. For instance:
# MODULES="piix ide_disk reiserfs"
MODULES=""
# BINARIES
# This setting includes, into the CPIO image, and additional
# binaries a given user may wish. This is run first, so may
# be used to override the actual binaries used in a given hook.
# (Existing files are NOT overwritten is already added)
# BINARIES are dependancy parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
BINARIES=""
# FILES
# This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
# as-is and are not parsed in anyway. This is useful for config files.
# Some users may wish to include modprobe.conf for custom module options,
# like so:
# FILES="/etc/modprobe.conf"
FILES=""
# HOOKS
# This is the most important setting in this file. The HOOKS control the
# modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
# Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
# order in which HOOKS are added. Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for
# help on a given hook.
# 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
# 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
# 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
# Examples:
# This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
# No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
# HOOKS="base"
# This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
# work as a sane default
# HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata filesystems"
# This is identical to the above, except the old ide subsystem is
# used for IDE devices instead of the new pata subsystem.
# HOOKS="base udev autodetect ide scsi sata filesystems"
# This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
# No autodetection is done.
# HOOKS="base udev pata scsi sata usb filesystems"
# This setup assembles an pata raid array with an encrypted root FS.
# Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H raid' for more information on raid devices.
# HOOKS="base udev pata raid encrypt filesystems"
# This setup loads an lvm2 volume group on a usb device.
# HOOKS="base udev usb lvm2 filesystems"
HOOKS="base udev v86d autodetect pata scsi sata filesystems"
# COMPRESSION
# Use this to compress the initramfs image. With kernels earlier than
# 2.6.30, only gzip is supported, which is also the default. Newer kernels
# support gzip, bzip2 and lzma. Kernels 2.6.38 and later support xz
# compression.
#COMPRESSION="gzip"
#COMPRESSION="bzip2"
#COMPRESSION="lzma"
#COMPRESSION="xz"
# COMPRESSION_OPTIONS
# Additional options for the compressor
#COMPRESSION_OPTIONS=""

linux 3.0 is just the next version of the kernel26, and we don't have versioned kernel yet https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/16702
It's just the same as you uninstall foo-1.2.3 and install e.g. foo-1.2.4 or bar-1.0.0 if package foo gets replaced by package bar.
I know, I'd just like to be able to boot .38-ARCH and 3.0. I have problems w/ thermal and I'm trying to find the coolest kernel.
You could rebuild the original .38 arch kernel but name it differently, look at e.g. the kernel26-lts package or the lots of custom AUR kernels for references.
