[SOLVED] Help! Arch freezes on boot

I was looking for a login manager today, after trying out qingy and uninstalling it, I rolled back the changes I made to inittab and rebooted.
And then while booting arch freezes after daemon start, after some time it says:
INIT: Id "c1" respawing too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: Id "c2" respawing too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: Id "c3" respawing too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: Id "c4" respawing too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: Id "c5" respawing too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: Id "c6" respawing too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
INIT: no more processes left in this rumlevel
I assume it is connected with my inittab setup cause on live cd I watched logs in errors.log and saw this:

Arch freezes on boot, no terminal

Hi, ive just installed arch with gnome as window manager. after installation i booted it up, installed some things like vlc, compiz... i also downloaded the ati driver from amd.com for my hd6850 and ran the script. it did not install properly, reported some errors. whein i tried opening the ati manager it says something like: "driver is not properly installed".
i am using 2 screens which i consequently set up wit the display manager, both with different resolutions.
upon reboot, there was an error like "maximum number of X display failures reached". i uninstalled the ati driver from /usr/share/ati/uninstall.sh and redid the entire section starting from xorg from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Be … _Interface.
now the system boots gnome, but it immediately freezes upon boot.
what can i do ?
thanks

The wiki article on fstab briefly explains what's the deal with tmpfs, /var/lock and /var/run.
Instead of borrowing the fstab from one of your friends (where the UUID's or device names probably won't match anyway), you can create your own. And keep it simple.
Here's mine:
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0
UUID=978e3e81-8048-4ae1-8a06-aa727458e8ff / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1
UUID=f838b24e-3a66-4d02-86f4-a2e73e454336 /media/Storage ext4 defaults,noatime,noexec,nosuid 0 0
UUID=14d50a6c-e083-42f2-b9c4-bc8bae38d274 /media/Backup ext4 defaults,noatime,noexec,nosuid 0 0
Once or twice a year I set "0 2" for Storage and Backup to run an fsck the next time I start the computer. Never had any fs corruption in 3 years of rock-solid, ext4 goodness.

[SOLVED] My Arch icon on booting is a mess!

Hi, all.
Just done an install of Arch on my main PC :-). When the PC boots, I get the two Arch logos at the top of my boot messages. Unlike an install on another box, they look really messy, as if the colour depth is wrong, or something.
On the test box that I used for Arch, the logo was sharp and sexy.
Does anyone know the best way to change the definition on the graphic? All other boot text if fine.
Many thanks,
Chris.

[Solved/Workaround] System freeze during boot on Intel NUC DN2820FYKH

Edit: When using the latest mainline kernel from here (3.14rc5 at the time of writing) all the problems go away. I'm hoping that this means I simply have to wait for 3.14 to release and hit [core] eventually. Also, my system clock *was* set incorrectly, because "ntpd -q" didn't print any sort of warning when I forgot the "-g" parameter.
Original message preserved in case anyone has the same problem:
On a fresh install, if I boot the latest kernel (3.13.5-1 at the time of writing) booting will stop midway through the systemd startup sequence. The specific line it ends on varies, sometimes it's "Starting Sound Card", other times it's "Starting Load/Save Random Seed." The system cursor stop blinking.
Adding debug to my boot parameters gives a large number of errors along the line of "Assertion: dual_timestamp_is_set has failed in sd_event_now_get_monotonic".
After this boot continues for a while, before freezing as described, without any sort of error or noteworthy output (as far as I can tell.)
Using the latest lts kernel (3.10.32-1) boot does finish, although it gives the same Assertion error as above. Also, the i915 module gives the error "preliminary hardware support disabled" and no modesetting is done. When trying to start X there are "No screens found"
As far as I can tell, the system clock and all related config files are configured correctly. All packages are up to date.
The system is an Intel NUC DN2820FYKH with a Bay Trail Celeron N2820 processor. For full specs:

Heres what I see after everything > 3.12.9 . It has a blinking cursor underneath that freezes, hdd light then stays on solid and doesn't do anything.

[SOLVED] Arch freezes after mounting drives, cannot boot

Installed Arch maybe a week ago, and everything worked flawlessly until i rebooted today.
I havent done any major changes during that session that i recall, and after a reboot, my arch "froze" mid boot, after (what i think is) mounting drives (sda3 is OS, sda5 is Data):
/dev/sda3: clean, 168249/2298240 files, 1485743/9175040 blocks
[ 4.203801] microcode: failed to load file amd-ucode/microcode_amd.bin
[ 4.204249] microcode: failed to load file amd-ucode/microcode_amd.bin
[ 4.204628] microcode: failed to load file amd-ucode/microcode_amd.bin
[ 4.204940] microcode: failed to load file amd-ucode/microcode_amd.bin
systemd-fsck[248]: /dev/sda5: clean, 5230/3932656 files, 475548/15729635 blocks
This is all the info that i get.
If i remember right, this was shown when arch was booting up normally too, but it ussualy just hanged for a second or two at it. I've tried leaving it for almost half an hour now, and it didnt budge.
And it doesnt actually freeze, since there is a blinking " | " after the last line (no input is being accepted though)
This might be something stupidly simple, but im completely new to Arch (and linux in general)
I do have a live cd though, so if there's any conf that you think would help, i can get it.

[SOLVED] Help me install Arch on my W540

Hi guys,
I'm trying to install ArchLinux on my Lenovo W540. I've installed Arch on so many other Notebooks and desktop computers before but they all had a non UEFI Bios. This one is a bit tricky.
I dd'ed the arch iso on my usb and booted it up.
The result is a freeze during booting from the usb: http://i.imgur.com/hUMT36E.jpg
Can anyone help me install Arch on my W540? Or tell me what the problem is?
Thanks in advance

Ok, I got a solution but this will probably piss off some people googling for "how to install Arch Linux on Lenovo W540" because it's not a reproducable solution (sorry).
TL;DR: USB flash drive was corrupt.
After booting from the USB, I changed the boot parameters of the x86_64 entry and added a "nomodeset". This would prevent the graphical drivers from loading, because the problem was apparantly with the nouveau-module.
The live system booted and I got to the point where I partitioned my SSD. The command "mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1" got me some I/O errors so I thought the USB flash drive might be corrupted (it was pretty old).
I dd'ed the arch iso on a new USB flash drive which somehow could load the nouveau module without any problems. And now I'm running my beloved Arch on my W540.
/EDIT: I just remembered that I also disabled the integrated card reader in the BIOS.

[SOLVED] Arch won't boot after I created a separate /var parition

Arch won't boot after I created a separate /var parition on an existing installation.And let me confess: it was maybe stupid trying to do it on an existing install.
I edited the fstab correctly, copied the files using rsync preserving permissions. Then I kept a backup of /var using tar. Then went on to delete everything under /var, ie /var/*, the /var folder is still there. All this I did from a live CD. After that I booted into my arch linux. Here I get messages about systemd successfully finishing fsck on each of my partitions, then the screen starts blinking. And there is no more output. Pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete causes systemd to stop its services and reboot.
Having realized I had borked my system, I removed the /var line from fstab and restored /var from the tar file I made earlier. Again I did this from a live cd. Rebooted into my arch system, and again similar issues, namely that after fsck and messages informing a few services had started, the screen keeps blinking.
The live cd I used for reorganizing my partitions was elementary OS freya. They have GParted in there. I also have an arch install iso lying aroung from May 2013. If necessary, I can download the latest version. I am currently typing from a Windows installation I dual boot from.
I don't know how to extract any boot logs as I am locked out of the system. Here is my fstab in any case:
# Filesystem information

I would greatly appreciate any help.

Have you moved everything from /var to /new_var (i named it for learning purpose)? You shoud copy content from /var but not on the fly but booting from arch iso cd, and than you shoud mount your / into arch-chroot environement, mount all of your mount points and than copy content from default /var to new /var. The copying should be done with this
cp -rax
and you can add -v switch to verbose output. I have my own /var moved the same way.
The simples way is:
-boot the arch iso cd
-mount all of your mount point (i created here in this step /new_var to move /var to a new place, and this /new_var i put in /etc/fstab as /var later)
-copy /var to /new_var with -rax or -vrax (recursive, archive, this filesystem or verbose, recursive, archive, this filesystem switches)
-umount all of it
-reboot.

I can confirm this, plus if you plug in SpeedTouch 330 after booting, it obviously doesn't work.

Satellite A205-S4617 Freeze after boot. HELP

I have a Satellite A205-S4617 freeze after boot. I have reformatted the harddrive and loaded recovery software, to no avail. I have run a memory test with no errors for at least 40mins. I have tried reading the hard drive outside to a different PC and it looks OK.
I initially suspected memory, but I tested and no errors on the test. Then, the hard drive i checked using another PC and it was OK. Next possibility is the motherboard, but i ran the memory test on the laptop and it worked without freezing....unless the memory test operation is not connected to the motherboard or not enough to test the motherboard. help.
I then tried running it using Ubuntu booting from the CD, and still it would freeze. So I don't know where to look for next.
HELP.
thank you very much.

I too would like to see suggestions on this. I am having the same issue with a couple of Satellite A205's, one is a -S4597 (32-bit), the other is a -S4607 (64-bit.) I have tried multiple operating systems, checked, and changed the RAM, and both system have good hard drives. I've completely torn down and rebuilt both of them, applying new thermal paste, and cleaning them, yet both freeze at about the same spot, while trying to initiize the operating system, after having copied the files over. I'm working on using other computers to install the operating systems on the hard drives, then installing the hard drives back in the machines, and seeing if that works.

Arch freezes after about 10 minutes with new kernel [SOLVED]

As the title says: Arch freezes after about 10 minutes with new kernel (2.6.27). I can only move a mouse, but everything else is frozen. Even restarting X doesn't do a trick. It doesn't work at all. Frozen.
I don't get any kind of error message (oh really?), so what's the problem..?

Yeah... I'm using nvidia... So the problem is nvidia drivers, not the Linux kernel?
Edit: My card is nVidia GeForce 8800 Ultra. I can't get driver information now, because I'm using WinXP right now. I'll check it later.
Did you make a new install or just updated?
You can try to reinstall old kernel with:
pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/kernel(version you want).pkg.tar.gz
if you made a new install you may have to install the xorg keyboard driver and so.
By the way, there are a few diferent packages for nvidia drivers. Check wich is yours.
Also check /var/log/ folder for errors.
Updated kernel.
And as I said, I'll check the driver later.

[SOLVED] Enabled AHCI - Arch won't boot

I have switched the SATA preference to AHCI from IDE in the BIOS. Now Arch refuse to boot with following warning:
ERROR: device '/dev/sda2' not found. Skipping fsck.
ERROR: Unable to find root device '/dev/sda2
[rootfs /]#
I have checked the WIKI and it has a remedy with 'mkinitcpio'; looks outdated. I have also found about adding one moule to initrd with mkinitrd on the www. However, I am not sure and need some guidance regarding this.
By the way, I dual-boot with Ubuntu and it booted just fine after the switch to AHCI.
Thanks.
Last edited by fantab (2013-04-21 22:27:38)

Thanks guys I fixed it from Ubuntu with 'chroot'. I added "ahci" to MODULES in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and ran mkinitcpio.
I can boot Arch now.
Do I have to re-install the kernel? Do I have to add "ahci" to mkinitcpio.conf at every kernel upgrade and run mkinitcpio? Or am I OK.
Out of curiosity, regarding 'fallback image', how is it "even simpler"? Would love to know, for future reference, any pointers?

Arch fails to boot after installation (BIOS mode)

I finished my Arch installation, following the Beginner's Guide, and once I unmounted the partitions and rebooted, GRUB failed to boot into Arch. I'm not exactly sure what the problem is though. Basically what happens is I power on the machine, the Dell splash screen comes up, GRUB loads, I choose
Arch Linux, with Linux core repo kernel
the kernel and ramdisk attempt to load, then some message about "recovering journal" appears, and then I return back to the Dell splash screen. The same thing happens even if I choose the second option
Arch Linux, with Linux core repo kernel (Fallback initramfs)
However, when I choose to boot Win XP everything boots just fine. My apologies for the quality of the videos and pictures.
Here's a video of what happens:
http://youtu.be/uC96kX6iTjI
I suspect this has to do with this error I got when I generated the "grub.cfg". Although I'm not entirely sure because my understanding is that this error would affect booting Win XP which in fact boots perfectly fine.
Error (and no I'm not using any lvm volumes)
http://imgur.com/qqxpoGG
I believe these are the portions of the "grub.cfg" that load Arch and Win XP. I got these by pressing "e" while on their menu entry in the GRUB bootloader.
Arch (I had to scroll down to see the rest, hence two pictures)
http://imgur.com/79dBw2C

Win XP

Any idea how I can fix this? Any help is greatly appreciated and please be patient, I know, I'm a noob.
* I'm not sure if this is of any significance but I had a problem very similar to this when trying to get the Arch install to boot via usb (this computer doesn't have CD/DVD drive). I solved it by following this excerpt from the Beginner's Guide.
Troubleshooting boot problems
If you are using an Intel video chipset and the screen goes blank during the boot process, the problem is likely an issue with Kernel Mode Setting. A possible workaround may be achieved by rebooting and pressing
e
over the entry that you are trying to boot (i686 or x86_64). At the end of the string type
nomodeset
and press
Enter
Here's a video of what it looked like:
http://youtu.be/vXRcbU0zdto
The computer specs:
OS: Windows XP Professional 32 bit Version 2002 Service Pack 3
CPU: Intel Pentium 4 @ 3.00 GHz
RAM: 2 GB DDR2
HDD: 80 GB

Hi,
why did you not try adding nomodeset with the regular boot? During the net-install no video drivers will be installed;
you have to install them after reboot after installing xorg. The (video)problem you had with booting from usb is still
present.

Display freezes at boot until screen moved

March 2010 Macbook Pro 15 - display freezes at boot from cold.
First image is dark purple, this lightens to patchy grey with vertical lines.
Move the screen and the display changes to account log in screen, but track pointer is frozen and screen gamma rises until display is whiteout with vertical lines.
Freeze and whiteout can last up to 90 seconds now, freeing for a fresh display each time screen is moved then freezing again.
Problem getting worse - lasts longer and now occurs on wake as well as boot.
Have updated everything, checked for malware, cleaned all app content, run disk utility/ repair, hardware check, reset permissions, reset PRAM, reset gamma, reset SMC - not helped. No history of damage!
Took to Apple - they replaced logic board and graphic card - problem not fixed.
Any advice to give me to give them when I go back to the bar?
Thanks

Livecd freezes on boot

Hello, I'm having a weird problem with the Arch livecd (archlinux-2009.02-ftp-i686.iso). It freezes while booting, right after the message "Starting Network --- [DONE]". I have no trouble booting other livecd's/distro's and I've verified the disk with the sha1 hash. Any ideas?

the last resource I would choose, is trying to boot the machine with a x86_64 bits. Do you have one at hand? or, you might try booting one of the older installation discs. I have the 2007.08 disc, the ftp version. It's a 35 mb download (for i686). The url is ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/iso/2007.08/i68 … -2.ftp.iso. I haven't any issues with that release.
This 'stalling' issue I've seen it on a lot of AMD machines. Installing the x86_64 solved the issue on all of them, but as far as I tryied, I've never been affected by this on a Intel CPU. So, I hope it might be a kernel issue and nothing else, because I'm running out of ideas of what can be your problem.
May the 'source' be with you

Arch fails to boot up sometimes

Hello,
2 weeks ago i installed arch, but after the update some kernel panic occurred. I thought that the last update will solve the problems.
But now, arch freezes after it boots up.
Here is the output for dmesg http://pastebin.com/XeJ5EmSW.
I also disabled the bluetooth module.

I see some errors around the bluetooth handling.
Try booting with
modprobe.blacklist=toshiba_bluetooth
in your commandline.

[SOLVED] Help! Arch freezes on boot
