[SOLVED] No boot on T420 with debian

Hello everyone,
I search on google and on the forum but don't find any answer to my problem.
I have a lenovo t420 upgrade with my Vertex 3 SSD.
I install debian well, with grub on the master boot devicem but after rebooting, the thinkpad don't find any mbr or gpt. So I only have the menu to select which device to boot...
I tested with Legacy mode only... but still doesn't want to boot on the grub...
Any idea to help me please ?
Thank you

Ok, another question, after setting the bios in legecy mode only, have you created a new partition table, and after that installing debian?
If you have worked in a previously formated partition it could be that it was a gpt partition table. With the legacy mode only bios, when you create a new partition table, it will create a mbr partition table instead of an gpt. Than grub should work.
i.e. ubuntu works fine, with legacy mode only, or with uefi only.

[SOLVED] dual booting windows 7 with btrfs on grub-bios -- core.img

I am trying to install arch in a dual boot configuration with an existing windows 7 partition. I have everything from the beginner's guide done but the bootloader. When I run grub-install it tells me that core.img is too big.
Some googling tells me that this is relatively common with btrfs, and it seems the only work around is to switch to gpt mode and use a grub bios partition. But the info I've seen indicates that I need to use MBR mode to dual boot windows.
Is it safe to do this with windows? Is there another workaround? Or will I have to settle for ext4?

Well there's your problem, your first partition starts at sector 63. With recent versions of windows and fdisk (and every other partitioning tool I can think of off the top of my head) things now align themselves correctly. Also because there is now GPT, the first partition typically starts later as the GPT partition table will typically sit between the MBR and the first partition.
On a MBR partitioned system, grub2 will actually use the first 446 bytes like normal, but will then also use the space that is empty where GPT would sit. This is why when you have a GPT partitioned system, it will require you to create a 1-2MB grub boot partition, as it needs somewhere else to put its bloat. GPT actually still uses the MBR section, but simply creates one large partition covering the whole disk. This is so that tools that are not GPT aware will not think that they have a whole free disk to use as they please.
For comparison, here is whe I get from fdisk:
# fdisk -l /dev/sda
sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda
[sudo] password for curtisshima:

3 252168192 488397134 112.7G Linux filesyste arch-btrfs-3
Note that I do use GPT. But that is not the point here. What I am trying to show is where my first partition starts. This is also where fdisk will start partitions these days. This is to ensure compatibility with 4k advanced format disks.
If you are not dead set on Grub2, you could try using syslinux. I really like it much better, though if you are booting more than one Linux, you need to either employ chainloading to various partition boot records, or have a shared /boot. Having a windows partition doens't really matter, as you are simply chainloading to that funky reserved partition anyway.
The other option is to use grub-legacy, which can still be found in the AUR. I actually liked the orginal Grub, as it provided a nice feature set, but was still configurable by hand and it actually fit into the MBR.

[solved] triple boot on mac with ubuntu

i have a macbook pro 5,5 if that helps, i installed ubuntu on the macbook with refit and i now want to install arch as well. i discovered that i can not see any partitions after four on my mac and therefore can not have a boot partition for arch and ubuntu has the grub boot on its partition, my questions are should i and how do i add arch to ubuntu's grub and boot from there, or is there a better way that gets around the four partition problem.
i apologize if this has been asked before but my searches came up with nothing
thanks

You probably need to learn more about partitioning and partition types. Read everything relevant here:
http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/gparted.html
Pay close attention to partition types and extended partitions. You likely need to use an extended partition.
(Not sure why 40 people looked at this before me and nobody bothered to tell you the easy and obvious suggestion...nice.)

[Solved]Replaced my /var partition (with dd) and am having boot issues

I recently got a new hard drive and have split /var and root across the two drives. However now I am having issues booting the computer. Each boot it mounts the /var and /home partition (both of which are on the new drive) and hangs for a large period of time before booting. (it does eventually boot fine)

Jarrah-95,
Thanks for your 'solution' post. I had a problem on boot with the boot process 'stalling' with a "recreate volatile files and directory" message that would after about a 30 second delay eventually finish the boot process. Based on your post I ran 'blkid' and discovered my 'swap' partition in my /etc/fstab file had the wrong UUID for the 'swap' entry.
After entering the 'correct' 'swap 'UUID', the boot cycle is restored and fast as ever. Back to the basics wins again.
Next task is to find out how I created the mistake.
best regards,

Thinkpad T420 with Dock 4338 Dual External Monitors won't work

Hey Everyone,
I recently purchased a T420 with Dock Model 4338 and am trying to connect two external monitors. I want to have my desktop visible on my primary monitor with laptop closed and that desktop extended onto my second external monitors. Both external monitors are Dell 19", one is being ran through the VGA port on the dock and the other is a VGA cord that I put a VGA to DVI-D adapter on to run off of one of the DVI Ports on the dock. I can get my desktop to display on the main external monitor, and everything detects the other monitor fine, but the extended monitor remains black. The screen is on, and recognized as the button light on the monitor is green not yellow and i can scroll my mouse over to that window and i lose the mouse so it's extending just not visible. I have made sure that both monitors work by checking each individually in the VGA port and they are operational, but the DVI-D port doesn't seem to work on my second monitor.
I have done some pretty extensive searching and can't seem to get this to work. At my job I have a T430 with the same dock and dual monitor setup that took no time and works great. Does the T420 just not support this?
All help is appreciated.
Thank you all,
NickG

Go to Solution.

DVI-D don't support passive dvi to VGA adapter. You are better off with a displayport to VGA adapter, as they are cheaper then a dvi-d to VGA converter.

T420 with Multiple Monitors

I have a T420, with a Dock series 3 (model 4338). I would like to set it up to have 2 external monitors and to also use the laptops display. The KB references the Optimus drivers, which I do not have. My display adapter is recognized as an Intel (R) HD Graphics Family. Is there a way to also use the laptop display or do I have to have the Optimus to enable it?
Thanks in advance

with your laptop this method is not possible, you would need the Nvidia equipped GPU to do this.
However, you can run the laptop with an additional external screen by getting a usb2dvi converter or an eGPU solution.

IdeaPad Y570 - hybrid drive dual-boot ? ( Win 7 + Debian )

Hello, I've tried to find specific information but none was found so I've made this topic.
My question is.
Is it possible to dualboot on Y570 with hybrid drive (SSD 32GB + 750GB HDD)?
I've have my Windows 7 already installed and used. I have 2 partitions - C (the biggest 690GB - Win installed + data) and D (from lenovo - drivers, utilities...)
I haven't change any setting with partitions.
I would love to split the biggest drive C into 2 smallers - one with Win 7 another with Debian installed.
I prefer NOT to install Win 7 again. I just want to create new partition, install Debian on it and have dual-boot system. I don't need One Key recovery system.
Another question is, how will the SSD work with Debian? If not, I can live through that, but I would prefer if it works at least for Win 7, just like now.
I've read that Optimus is not working under Linux. Okay, no problem, but can the external graphic card be disabled at least in Linux?
To sum up, my goal is to have Linux without formating drive / without reinstalling Win 7. Is it even possible?
It's pretty complex question and thanks for anserws.

Is this a typo in your post or how it was in menu.lst? Surely it should be hd0,0 and not hda0,0? The entry I have in my menu.lst is as follows:

What was yours?

Snow Leopard as PXE server doesn't work anymore with Debian Lenny

Hello
I was using a box with Mac OS X 10.6.2 as a PXE boot server, providing a Debian Etch installer as boot image.
I wanted to upgrade to the Debian Lenny PXE image, but it doesn't work anymore.
I m not sure how I can debug that. I m a sure of one thing, switching for the Debian Etch image to the Debian Lenny one triggers those kernel log messages during the PXE boot, and the host who tried to boot hanged ( a Virtualbox VM).

My /private/tftpboot/ tree is created from the http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/etch/main/installer-i386/current/images/n etboot/netboot.tar.gz archive. I used http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-i386/current/images/ netboot/netboot.tar.gz for the Debian Lenny tree.
So, can someone help me ?

I disabled bootp. In verbose and debug, everything seems to go well. The option 128 isn't accepted by the daemon, i disabled it too, the TFTP server is the same server than the DHCP, so it still works.
Here s the log when using the Debian Lenny image, almost the same than with Debian Etch image.

Yosemite boot up stalls with grey bar 1/3 along

After a successful installation of Yosemite the boot times have been getting longer and longer and now the boot up stalls with grey bar 1/3 along and i have to hold down the power button to shut down and try again.

see > OS X Lion: About Lion Recovery
If your running Snow Leopard or earlier OS X, pop in your Install DVD and startup holding either the Option or C key, then open and use Disk Utility to repair the Macintosh HD.

Apple 23" display, using MacBook V2.1 in boot camp mode with XP Professi

My MacBook has the Intel 950 Graphics card, In Boot camp mode with Windows XP Professional SP3, is there any way to get full screen resolution on the 23" Apple monitor. The windows screen has about 2" of black on all sides of the window

no, tdm doesn't work under bootcamp regardless of which windows is being used, imho i don't think it will ever work under bootcamp

Can you dual-boot arch linux with Windows 7 ?

Here is my current dilemna; I have Windows still on my netbook for the only reason that I use it for gaming .
Other than that I have Linux Mint dual-booted with it .
Now my question is, can I just instruct arch to install into the already existing linux partition, formatting it and making it it's home, or do I have to delete it, thus rendering my computer inoperable until I successfully dualboot arch with it ? o_O
Or should I take a different approach altogether, and triple boot my netbook with arch, mint, and windows, and then from there delete the mint partition and allocate the free space accordingly using easeus partition master (another reason I still have windows) ?
Please help . D:
PS. I HATE Windows but only kept it because apparently not everyone shares the Linux view of technology . >.>

if youre happy with your partition layout u can just install arch ofc.
while installing you will be prompted to select mount points and create filesystems ( you can skip the partition step )
select your current / partition for, well, /
and /home for.. /home.
the installer will then create new filesystems there (formatting those partitions) and set mountpoints

Hello,
if you got problems with the kernel, you can try backbox-linux. The kernel there is newer. It is based on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
