[SOLVED] Hardware shutdown when booting to initlevel 3

Hi, folks - I'm new to Arch but not to Linux nor UNIX, and Installed it over the weekend to see if I could boost performance on the machine in my music studio.  All went well, the learning curve wasn't that bad, and at the end of it I had everything I use for recording working very well.  Performance was much more stable than I was seeing under Fedora/Planet CCRMA.
I rebooted it this morning and found something had gone quite wrong.  The machine boots, but as it goes to initlevel 3 (multi-user), something happens to shut down the system *hard*.  Power to the motherboard is cut; the switch up front does not work.  I have to turn the power supply off and on again, at which point the machine will boot.  I can bring it into single user mode fine, but when I exit, I see 6-7 lines flash past before the power cut, which of course cuts the signal to the monitor.
Whatever is happening is happening before syslog starts up, because none of the logs show me anything from the boot process.
Has anyone seen anything like this before?
Thanks in advance for any hints.
- Joe

I've managed to move beyond this.  It seems to have gone away after installing NTP so it seems to be clock-based somehow.

  • [solved] no sound when booting with webcam attached

    Hi everybody,
    hopefully this is the right section to post since I'm not quite sure if the problem is related to KDE or a general hardware thing. ;-)
    Anyway, the problem that I have is that I don't have any sound at all when booting my system while my webcam, a logitech 9000 pro, is attached to the USB port.
    Even when unplugging the webcam afterwards the sound does not work. I need to reboot my system first with the webcam detached and than it'll work again. I also did already manually insert the modules in /etc/rc.conf but no change. Every time it seems that the webcams audio interface will be recognized as the primary audio device.
    When not having the camera plugged in and plugging it in while KDE is up, everything works like a charm.
    But of course it bothers me quite big time to unplug the webcam every time after using it and rebooting the system again after I forgot to unplug it.
    I also checked for other modules to be loaded automatically (compared the output of lsmod before and after plugging in the webcam) but there was no change.
    So does anyone have an idea what to do in order to get the order of the audio devices right?
    Thank you!...

    In your /etc/rc.d/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf try to put zero index for your audio driver, so it will load first. In my case it's this line:
    options snd-hda-intel index=0

  • [solved] Black screen when booting installation

    The basic problem. I have a HD6870, my monitor is connected through DVI (& my second one through HDMI). No integrated graphics.
    After I try to boot the x64_86 version, the screen goes black after 'booting kernel'.
    Things I've tried:
    radeon.modeset=0 (gives drm:radeon_init [radeon]] *ERROR* no UMS suppot in radeon module)
    radeon.modeset=1 (black screen)
    nomodeset (drm:radeon_init [radeon]] *ERROR* no UMS suppot in radeon module)
    disconnected second screen (black screen)
    video=SVIDEO-1:d (black screen)
    i915.modeset=0 (I have no intel, but black screen)
    acpi=off (doesn't work either).
    It is driving me crazy. Can someone help me?

    See above.
    EDIT 2: putting HD in AHCI mode makes just the screen black. Backlight stays on. In Knoppix and Ubuntu it makes the kernel hang at booting kernel _

  • Holding down the "D" key doesn't start the Apple Hardware Test when booting

    Subject says it all. I have the original CD that came with my Macbook 13" (mid-2007). When I startup and hold the "D" key, the computer just boots like normal to the internal hard drive. Any ideas?

    Yes, I did set a firmware password. But how would I go about booting to the AHT with that? I tried to boot from the DVD (after entering the firmware password) and then holding down D, but that did not work either.
    In absence of a good way of doing this, what are some good freeware utilities to test RAM?

    Google "start on boot arch", find https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Boot_Process, read it (specifically the part about /etc/rc.local).
    Please do a little research before you ask a question.

  • When booting up, the bluetooth connects and then disconnects with my trackpad 3 or 4 times then i get a gray cover over the desktop that drops from top to bottom then a window that tells me to use the power button to do a forced shutdown.

    when booting up, the bluetooth connects and disconnects with my trackpad 3 to 4 times and then i get a gray sheet that drops down from the top to bottom of the desktop then a box in the center that tells me to use the power button to do a forced shutdown. wireless keyboard connects with no problem. went to the apple store and they replaced the bluetooth card. still have the same problem. removed the batteries from the trackpad, strted up and no problem connecting with wireless mouse and keyboard. anyone else experience this?

    This could be a software/state problem or a hardware problem.  Here are steps to resolve the former.

    Any ideas?

    Ok, I fixed it.
    When doing mkinitrd auto it would make an initrd image from the modules at /lib/modules/2.6.16-ARCH when it had to do it from /lib/modules/2.6.16.18-ARCH
    I fixed it with 
    mkinitrd kernel_version=2.6.16.18-ARCH
    Also my menu.lst was wrong, a new image was created under the name of
    initrd-2.6.16.18-ARCH.img.
    My menu.lst pointed to initrd26.img. I didn't change it before because I didn't know, someone should update the wiki article about compiling the kernel from source.

  • [SOLVED] Prevent racy mounting when booting

    Hey there!
    When booting I mount an external (encrypted) drive by the means of fstab (and crypttab) under a directory which is only accessible by root.  In order to allow read-only access for users, I remount the the device under another directory which allows reading for ordinary users by the means of bindfs.
    The relevant part of my /etc/fstab goes like this:
    /dev/mapper/backup /mnt/root/backup ext4 defaults 0 2
    bindfs#/mnt/root/backup /mnt/backup fuse perms=a-w 0 0
    However, after booting up the contents of /mnt/root/backup do not show up under /mnt/backup. Remounting /mnt/backup manually makes the files appear.  I suspect that this is because the bindfs mounting is done before mounting /mnt/root/backup has finished; also the order of the two mounts shown when issuing the mount command is inverted to the order in fstab.
    How do I have to cope with this situation?
    Shall I add noauto to the bindfs instruction and write a custom service file for systemd in order to mount the read-only ressource at a later time? (I am asking this because I am fairly unexperienced when in comes to systemd and I don't want to head for the wrong track...)

  • After forced hardware shutdown OS X 10.10 doesn't start

    I have a mac mini late 2012 and I've had a clean installation mac os x Yosemite on it.
    And I have a problem: After forced hardware shutdown my OS doesn't load. There is a white screen, the apple logo and loading line. But when loading reach approximately half of a boot it's just stop loading.
    I've left my mac for a night to see will it load at the end or not. After 14 hours there were still apple logo and loading line on the same position.
    After 5-10 forced reboot the OS finally start up.
    I had that problem twice with same symptom.
    The first time was after my mac was stuck and didn't respond, so I forced hardware reset.
    The second time was when my electricity suddenly cut down for a couple minutes. 
    How to solve that issue? 

    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks or Yosemite without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the 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.
    Repair
    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 then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks, or Yosemite
    OS X Yosemite- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Send email on reboot, shutdown and boot

    Hi, I'm trying to setup my 10.4.11 machine (I have one that runs leopard and one that runs tiger) so that it sends a email on reboot, shutdown and boot. I have attempted to do so by placing a script that sends a email via the terminal mail command in /etc/rc.local for boot, /etc/rc.shutdown.local for shutdown and /etc/rc.reboot.local for reboot. The only problem is that when I reboot the shutdown script is executed instead of the reboot script and rc.local is never executed. My guess is that I need to use a launchd task for the boot email instead of rc.local but I'm not sure what Apple is using instead of rc.reboot.local ...any ideas? Thanks!

    I have solved this problem by assuming that reboot and shutdown both rely on rc.shutdown.local as appears to be the case and thusly changing the title of the email to say that the server is shutting down -or- rebooting (which should become obvious as in the case of it rebooting a booting up email will follow shortly). I then copied rc.local to another location, ensured it had the executable bit set, and used Lingon to execute it on boot since rc.local does not seem to be working. Emails upon sleep and wake (machine set to sleep after one minute when switched to battery and acwake has been set to 1 via pmset so that when power resumes the machine automatically wakes up effectively turning the laptop battery into a UPS) are taken care of via sleepwatcher.

  • My 2009 iMac gets stuck on the grey Apple logo when booting up.  It boots correctly when in safe mode. I have tried erasing the HD and re-installing from a USB installer. It says the install is complete, but after restarting it gets stuck on the Apple log

    My late 2009 27" iMac gets stuck on the grey Apple logo when booting up.  It boots correctly when in safe mode. I have tried erasing the HD and re-installing from a USB installer. It says the install is complete, but after restarting it gets stuck on the Apple logo again.  This could possibly be an HD failure, but then why does Safe Mode still work and the USB install not work?  Any ideas?

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the behest of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it.

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
    11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with "Model Identifier." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • Lockup when booting

    I just purchased 2 identical computers HPE h8 1124...I have on 1 of the computers an external LG Blu-ray burner and on the other an LG external DVD Burner... When the systems are up and running and I install them via the usb port they work fine...When the computer system reboots they both hang at the blue boot screen that tells you to it escape to go to setup..The system will do nothing until you shut down the computers and disconnect the drives....LG tells me that you have have the wrong order when booting, but I check it out and the systems are booting from the hard drive....Any help would be appreciated...Thank you Bob...
    This question was solved.

    Hello bfwk122, I checked on the LG Model number you listed and it does show the external power supply as well as an eSata back plane adapter and the eSata data cable. It would be very much better and faster to install the eSata back plane adapter and connect the Sata cable to one of the available Sata ports on the motherboard than to use the USB ports.
    The LG Super Multi Blue BE12LU30 external Blu-ray rewriters feature eSATA and USB connectivity with 12x BD-R write speeds.
    Here  is the link for the specifications for your motherboard. It shows there are four Sata ports. You should be able to use one of these ports for the eSata back plane adapter.
    Here  is a link that shows all the included hardware that would have shipped with a Retail version of the drive model you listed.
    Just some thoughts.

    Hi LamboMong,
    just try this:
    http://refit.sourceforge.net
    install, reboot twice and choose the Windows-Partition on next startup.
    (The apple-bootloader doesn't display all bootable harddisks.
    With rEFIt you can boot from all partitions/harddisks on your computer.)
    I hope that will solve your problem.

  • Can't connect to LAN when booting MBP from external drive?

    In an effort to always work in my computer environment, I backup my Mac Pro main drive to an external firewire drive, plug in to my new Macbook Pro 2.9 and option start off this drive. Result is I'm working off the last backup of my main Mac Pro drive so all my apps, stored mail, etc, is alive and well. I merely track any changes and new files and copy them over or use DropBox to get them on to my Main Mac Pro, my main computer.
    Problem is, when booting off my external drive running Lion 10.7.5, my MBP's network won't turn on or recognize my home LAN. Then if I restart off just the MBP drive, it does connet to my LAN automatically.
    Could the problem be that since my MBP was set up for Mount Lion, that it won't fully work with a drive with a Lion OS on it? I thought perhaps I had to turn on Airport when on my external Lion drive, since I don't have that turned on on my Mac Pro which uses ethernet. Can't figure this one out. The MBP must have airport as I'm on it now but booted off the internal ML OSX drive.
    Thx,
    Steven

    No not at all. You should have access to your LAN from any version of OS X that is set up correctly. It's still using the same hardware and should be loading the same drivers for that hardware and YES you may have to actually turn on the Airport card.
