[SOLVED] Recovery shell Problem / Arch novice booting 1st time

This is my problem after/during the boot of the Arch for the first time:
Root device `/dev/hda3`doesn`t exist, attempting to create it
ERROR: Failed to parse block device ids for `/dev/hda3`
ERROR: Unable to detect or create root device `/dev/hda3`
You are being dropped to a recovery shell
Type `reboot` to reboot
Type `exit` to try and continue booting
NOTE: klibc contains no 'ls' binary, use `echo *` instead
If the device `/dev/hda3` gets created while you are here,
try adding `rootdelay=10` or higher to the kernel command-line
ramfs$
I have 10 partitions. (Mint mounting points)
Sda1 system reserved (NTFS)
Sda2 W7
Sda3 NTFS
Sda4 extended
Sda5 ext4 (Mint 8)
Sda6 swap
Sda7 Arch /
Sda8 Arch /var
Sda9 Arch swap
Sda10 Arch /home
Any ideas ?

Its Grub2. So there is no menu.lst. But I found this in the grub.cfg:
menuentry "arch (on /dev/sda7)" {
insmod ext2
set root=(hd0,7)
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set faa7744d-d27e-4350-8a1d-b18b5413fc5a
linux /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/hda3 ro
initrd /boot/kernel26.img
menuentry "arch-fallback (on /dev/sda7)" {
insmod ext2
set root=(hd0,7)
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set faa7744d-d27e-4350-8a1d-b18b5413fc5a
linux /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/hda3 ro
initrd /boot/kernel26-fallback.img
Is it causing the problems ?

Suppose it is a compatibility issue of iphone4s and TP-link router?
I already suffered the iphone4S face time drop off issue for more than 2 week… Hope it can be fixed soon….

I agree with @sabretooth. The connection status showing 100Mbps is only the local Ethernet network speed and since your router uses the Wireless-G technology, then you can get a maximum of 54Mbps for the wireless network speed. This network speed is significant when communicating within the local network of the router but it is still the 10Mbps internet subscription speed that is used when sending and receiving data or information through the internet.
It seems you’re experiencing a dropping connection and it would be better to isolate the issue before buying another router. Connect a computer wired directly to your Arris modem and observe the connection. If connection is good then it will give you a hint that it’s a possible router issue. You can then press and hold the reset button on the router for 30 seconds, power cycle, reconfigure the internet connection and check if the problem persists.

[SOLVED] Mac OS X/Arch dual boot Missing Operating System GRUB problem

I am attempting to dual boot Mac OS X.5 and Arch on my "unibody" macbook pro.
I am getting the "Missing Operating System" error over and over. I have followed the Macbook install guide in the wiki and the Beginners install guide. I've also read all the threads I could find on the subject. The common fix seems to be changing the root path on the grub menu.lst... I've tried that. twice. with no luck.
I have EFI on sda1, Mac OS X on sda2 and Arch root on sda3.
My menu.lst is pretty much standard with
root (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda3 ro
for both Arch and the Arcch fallback.
I'm not sure what else to try. I can give more information, but I'm not sure what else to give.
Thanks in advance .

I know exactly what the problem is.
If you're using rEFIt, sync your partition tables (should be the menu item called 'Partitioning Tool'). The problem is that GRUB has been installed, but doesn't know where to find the Arch partition.
After syncing, you may find that the boot process hangs at the Linux logo on a gray background. No worries — just reboot and the problem should fix itself.
N.B. You will need to do a partition table sync every time you change your hard drive's layout.

[Solved] Windows 7 and Arch Dual boot- unable to boot into Windows7

Had to reformat computer and reinstall windows and Arch on two separate hard drives (Dual boot) .
Windows 7 was the first install on SDA: (/dev/sda1 - system reserved 100mb, /dev/sda2 - 20gb)
Arch on SDB: (/dev/sdb1- boot 94mb, /dev/sdb2- swap, /dev/sdb3 - root, /dev/sdb4 - /home)
Installed grub2 on /dev/sda. now grub bootloader loads Arch fine. Also shows Windows 7 (on /dev/sda1).
But when chosen Windows 7, it does not load and loops back again to boot loader screen.
In BIOS i have set disk drive SDB as first boot option.
If i choose SDA as first boot option in BIOS, same scenario is repeated.
I have gone through mostly all the pages related to the topic but i can not co-relate the solution
to my exact situation due to limited knowledge.
Can somebody pls help me as to how to edit grub.cfg so as to point it to load windows 7?
the entry related to windows 7 reads as follows:-
quote
### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###
menuentry 'Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda1)' --class windows --class os $menue$
insmod part_msdos
insmod ntfs
set root='hd0,msdos1'
if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd0,msdos1 --hint$
else
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root F010D97410D941F0
fi
chainloader +1
unquote
for Arch set root value is hd1,msdos1 and working fine.
Thanks and regards.

Not booting 1st time

Hello,
When I power on my PC, it doesn't boot. It doesn't give any screen output, and it beeps 3 times, silences, and continues to beep 3 times. When I power it off then, and power on again, it boots normally.
I have an MSI KT4V, with Athlon 2200+, bios v1.7.
Anyone has a clue, about this weird behaviour?
Thanks.

The problem is, that I can't simulate the problem. Sometimes, when I poweron for the first time, it works smoothly.. other times, it doesn't boot, but a powercycle takes care of the problem.

[SOLVED] Seriously, Arch? Recovery shell, USB boot won't work

So I made the mistake of updating my system without painstakingly checking the news/updates and possible error logs. I rebooted my computer this morning and:
Decompressing Linux...Parsing ELF...done.
Booting the kernel.
:: Running Hook [resume]
ERROR: Unable to find root device '/dev/sda3'.
You are being dropped to a recovery shell
Type 'exit' to try and continue booting
sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
[rootfs /]#
This appears to be a pretty widespread problem today, as I've googled and searched the forums extensively and everyone is complaining about some udev to mkinitcpio movement or something.
I know what I need to do: either copy my files off my hard drive and reinstall, or chroot and downgrade my kernel, or chroot and reinstall udev, something like that.
Cool, so I need a liveCD. Unfortunately, my laptop lacks a CD drive (lenovo tablet). So I set out to make a USB bootable drive.
I tried it from Windows: my laptop didn't detect anything and kept kicking me back to the recovery shell. (Tried PartedMagic, Ubuntu, and Arch.)
I tried it from my school's Linux computers: Can't do *anything* without root. I tried sudo and for the first time in my life, the incident was reported and I got an email telling me not to try sudo again. Sweet.
I just tried it from my friend's Mac (the Arch x64 iso via Unetbootin): Now I get a blinking cursor when I boot from the USB.
What would you do? I'm at my wit's end here, and after using Archlinux for two years, this is giving me a MAJORLY bad taste in my mouth for the distro.

karol,
I can only change parameters from the grub menu, as far as I can tell, and I tried (hd0,{0,1,2,3,4}) and none of them worked. Only (hd0,0) gets me even as far as the recovery shell.
fsckd,
I'm using Unetbootin, which offers Core, Core_x64, Netinstall, and Netinstall_x64. Because I intend to chroot an x64 system, I tried core_x64.
willbprog127,
Yeah, you're right - sorry for being snarky. Thanks, please do let me know if you find that parameter.
I booted from the usb stick on one of my school's RHEL computers, and it says "no operating system detected". I'm...so...sad...why didn't unetbootin work...going to try to burn ubuntu again.

[solved]udev boot error - usb keyboard wont work in recovery shell

i just hooked up an external drive for the first time to this system, i didnt do anything to it yet, except i went to run gdisk and realized it wasnt installed yet. So i ran
pacman -Syu gdisk
from an SSh terminal, then when it was updating a package, cant exactly remember which one but i hitnk it was either kernel or udev, the ssh termilal appeared to disconnect becuause it lost its output.
then i opened another terminal sshed in, and was able to run pacman -Syu again, which means the first update did finish, or the lockfile wouldnt have let me update a 2nd time i would think. (note, the newly external hard drive was connected during all these events). Something wierd happened here.It had files that needed updating, which i thought that would be rare since i just updated, unless it simply didnt finish, and the lockfile wasnt in place or something, then it finished updating successfully, and i was still remoted into a working SSH command line (i.e. didnt get kicked out this time).
Now is where the fun begins. i typed 'reboot', and the system appeared to reboot, but i wasnt able to shell in this time. i connected the monitor to the system almost a minute later, and realized it was still shutting down, then when it rebooted i get an error message.
running early hook [udev]
Warning lib/modules/3.12.8-1-ARCH/modules.devname not found - ignoring

tiggering events
Waiting 10 seconds for device /dev/sda2
ERROR: device /dev/sda2 not found Skipping fsck
Error unable to find root device /dev/sda2
your being dropped to recovery shell
[rootfs /]#
NOW THE KEYBOARD DOESNT WORK, it only works in bios. It stops functioning (the numlock light) as soon as udev starts to initiate, which leaves me with no way to try to reupdate udev and the kernel again to see if i can fix it.
all i could think of was to disconnect the external drive, that didnt help. then i tried checking the USB settings in bios for any legacy options, it doesnt have them (Dell Optiplex), so i just made sure the USB boot was off and all ports enabled.
Now im totally stuck short of a recovery disk.
any suggestions how i can just get the keyboard working and chroot into arch and update some package to fix it without having to jump through hoops to make a recovery disk while here at work with limited resources?

ok i found what happened, so far.
looking in /var/log/pacman.log i see a gap in the installs, a 2 minute gap, which is the time i rebooted and reran the install.
at 9:25.. i was running an upgrade, and the last one in the minute of 9:25 is
9:25[PACMAN] upgraded linux-firmware (20131013.7d0c7a8-1 -> 20131230.52d77db-1)
this is where the shell got disconnected therefore i wasnt able to see what happened after this.
the the log continues at 9:27 minute, has to be when i rebooted and shelled back in and reran the upgrade, the log starts with
9:27[PACMAN] upgraded linux (3.12.6-1 -> 3.12.8-1)
so it appears that the shell got disconnected as it was upgrading linux-firmware (20131013.7d0c7a8-1 -> 20131230.52d77db-1) .
This begs the questions; Did the SSH shell get disconnected simply because the system was using those resources at the time? i assume this. the next question is, was it wrong to be upgrading via remote SSH shell then? Or whats likely that happened here?

[solved] last kernel upgrade - dropped to recovery shell

Hi there,
I just upgraded the kernel (=> 3.13.8-1-ARCH)
The boot process drop me to a recovery shell, with this message:
ERROR : device UUID=322d1dd7-5902-45e8-afe4-b5f912967b28 not found. Skipping fsck
ERROR : unable to find root device UUID=322d1dd7-5902-45e8-afe4-b5f912967b28
you are beeing dropped to a recovery shell
type 'exit' to try and continue booting
can't access tty, job control turned off
But, this UUID=322d1dd7-5902-45e8-afe4-b5f912967b28 correspond to none of my devices.
according to blkid
/dev/sda1: UUID="3fca6c29-1988-4ccd-9d84-dec5b44ffe80" TYPE="ext4"
/dev/sda2: UUID="f3fff5f5-b041-46e5-8749-01143684eb21" TYPE="crypto_LUKS"
The system is on a lvm, encrypted with dm_crypt.
I tried to correct manually the UUID of sda1 in /boot/grub/grub.cfg from a live usb, despite it is said to not edit manually the file. But it did not fix the problem.

I didn't read the trouble shooting section on your first link.
The wiki says :
- To not panic. I'm good for the first advice: I don't panic ;-)
- To boot from the Arch installer.
So I downloaded the Arch installer on a usbcard and booted it on.
- Apply # cryptsetup open --type luks /dev/mapper/MyStorage-rootvol on each lv.
Because I don't remember the designations of lvs, I tryed variations of
# cryptsetup open --type luks /dev/mapper/MyStorage-rootvol /dev/sda2
It keeps telling me /dev/mapper/<designation> doesn't exist or access denied.
Because it's not mounted, I tried then to mount sda2: it doesn't recognize crypto_luks.
Then I tried "cryptsetup status /dev/sda2", but of course it says it doesn't find the device (since it's not mounted)
PS - I have an instable access to internet

[SOLVED] Arch Linux Boot from USB fails while loading kernel

I am attempting to get arch linux booting off my usb. I use cfdisk to create a /dev/sdb1 partition then use mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1, mount the usb, pacstrap it, use install-syslinux_update -iam, generate fstab and then attempt to boot from it.
The boot extracts the kernel but then complains that DEVICE is missing in the option APPEND root=DEVICE (in syslinux.cfg). I looked in /dev/disk (on the temporary filesystem shell), it showed my ssd and cd drive but not the usb. Does anyone know what could be causing the USB to not load in that particular section of the kernel?

Since you'll probably want to boot from different computers (portable USB system), you want to remove 'autodetect' from that line. This is the same as always booting the initramfs-linux-fallback.img image. To save some space, you could remove 'autodetect' from the configuration file, disable the fallback image in /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux.preset and delete initramfs-linux.img (otherwise, you'll get two identical images).
Of course, run mkinitcpio -P when you're done.

Hi everybody, I am in Turkey on a long assignment, I need help solving a big problem on my macbook pro os 10.9.3. The other week my wife visited some website and now we have a redirect virus of some sort, and every other time when we click on a link or anywhere on the page we are redirected to this casino web site, https://casino.7bets10.com/tr/?from=hy9yKXD43jSC-8Oxbw4femNd7ZgqdRLk-dHJpeG9uaXR l. Its the same whether on Chrome or Safari. Does anyone have a solution, thank you!

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. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of 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 the words "Start Time." 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.

[SOLVED] systemd 207, lvm2 and luks booting issue

Hi
i'm using an encrypted lvm (luks) on my notebook.
/boot on /dev/sda1
lvm on /dev/sda2
main-root
main-home
main-swap
since the systemd 207 upgrade i am unable to boot my system.
this error appears at startup:
A start job is running for dev-mapper-main\x2droot.device
so i'm guessing that systemd is unable to use the encrypted lvm2, since this error is aknowledged on the
after checking some threads i tried:
mkinitcpio -p linux
but there was no effect.
HOOKS="base systemd autodetect block keymap encrypt lvm2 filesystems fsck vbox
some people tried suggesting downgrading to systemd 204 but i dont have any pkg file and building with abs leads to the following error
while makepkg -s:
==> Starting prepare()...
patching file src/core/swap.c
Hunk #1 FAILED at 220.
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file src/core/swap.c.rej
==> ERROR: A failure occured in prepare().
Aborting...
am i supposed to remove the patches from the build? i'm not really sure and more of a beginner in this area.
Can anyone help me solve either the build or the boot issue ?
i should mention that i am only able to access my system by using chroot from an arch boot stick.
Thank you so much.
Kind Regards

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mk … mmon_hooks
systemd: This will install a basic systemd setup in your initramfs, and is meant to replace the 'base', 'usr', 'udev' and 'timestamp' hooks. Other hooks (like encryption) would need to be ported, and may not work as intended. As of systemd 207, this hook does not work as intended when combined with lvm2 and may break your boot. You also may wish to still include the 'base' hook (before this hook) to ensure that a rescue shell exists on your initramfs.
Have you tried keeping udev instead of replacing it with systemd hook?
Have you tried https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … ck_Machine ? It has systemd 204.

[SOLVED] xrdb not reading .Xresources at boot

spent a few hours trying to figure this out yesterday to no avail but still learned alot.
so in my home folder I have .Xresources file:
! terminal colors ------------------------------------------------------------
! tangoesque scheme
*background: #111111
*foreground: #babdb6
! Black (not tango) + DarkGrey
*color0: #000000
*color8: #555753
! DarkRed + Red
*color1: #ff6565
*color9: #ff8d8d
! DarkGreen + Green
*color2: #93d44f
*color10: #c8e7a8
! DarkYellow + Yellow
*color3: #eab93d
*color11: #ffc123
! DarkBlue + Blue
*color4: #204a87
*color12: #3465a4
! DarkMagenta + Magenta
*color5: #ce5c00
*color13: #f57900
!DarkCyan + Cyan (both not tango)
*color6: #89b6e2
*color14: #46a4ff
! LightGrey + White
*color7: #cccccc
*color15: #ffffff
I also made a .xinitrc file in my home directory:
xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources
my problem is after boot I still have to manually use xrdb ~/.Xresources to have my .Xresources file to run.
I know there is a lot on Google about this but I read through a large amount trying to get it to work. Apparently there are various problems and they depended up how your Desktop Manager starts the X environment.
I am using LXDE (desktop manager) and openbox (windowd manager). At login I am greated with a login splash screen that takes me into my LXDE environment... I just can't figure out how to force startx to trigger the reading of my .Xresources file.
I made sure all files were not made as root and they have the proper permissions including being ecexcutable.
However my boot is configured, the .Xresources is simply not getting run through xrdb as doing it manually after boot workds perfectly...
The arch wiki reads: "are using a Display Manager t log into X. Most DM will autoload the ~/.Xresources file on login"
So is this more a lxde question?
Another blog I read said that LXDE may not read .Xresources automatically thus the need for the .xinitrc file.... I followed those instructions as well to no avail:
create .xinitrc
chmod +x .xinitrc
add xrdb -load ~/.Xresources &
to the .xinitrc file
... did not work for my setup
at this point I am at a loss.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome!
Have you tried adding the command to Openbox' autostart.sh file? I don't know exactly how it's called, but it's usually placed in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/openbox/ and if everything works correctly, it is executed upon starting Openbox.
EDIT
... and having read the comment below, yes, please use code tags. It confused me at first whether you were literally typing 'add' and 'create' as commands in your shell or not.

[SOLVED] Zenbook UX32VD black screen on boot with drivers (Intel).

Helluw!
So i have done a clean reinstall after this problem first occurd to try and isolate the problem. During boot you see that grub loads the modules and every goes black. After 2 seconds the backlight is turned on and there is nothing happening, to make sure that is the case, it have been running for 20 min with no reaction.
Packages installed (that should matter):
inteli-dri
xf86-video-intel
gnome
gdm
xorg-server
To boot i am atm appending nomodeset so i can access a tty. This is removed every time i try boot, and replies with "no screen found" when added (as expected).
There are no added configs in xorg, and no other videodrivers have been installed. The xorg dosnt reply with any errors as i can see.

As documented on the nvidia forums and several topics on this forum; Kernel 3.10-3.11 is breaking nVidia graphics.
Zenbook's got a workaround by enabling "Fast CMS" in bios.

Problem with dual boot after upgrade to Mountain lion

Hello Every One,
I have a Macbook pro from 2009 which had dual boot option Windows 7 + Snow Leopard.
The windows 7 had 2 partitions (C; and D: an extended partition).
I upgraded the OS X to Mountain lion. after upgrade the system showed 3 options at boot time. Mac, Windows and a recovery partition.
when i boot to windows the D: drive is gone...I mean even though i can see the partition in partition software, windows 7 stopped showing D: in "My computer".
So i used testdisk utility to get the D: drive back and now when i boot to mountain Lion i am able to access both C:(BOOTCAMP) and D: drives.
but now the problem is during boot time my Mac Book pro doesn't show the windows option.
Can some suggest a means to boot into windows 7? Also what is the purpose of recovery partition that Mountain lion adds to the system? I mean is it going to hurt if i get rid of it so that i can go back to my old configuration of 3 primary partitions (1 for windows 7 ...C: bootcamp + MountainLion) + 1 extended partition for D:
any help would be appreciated?
Regards

Arch only booting in IDE mode

Hi, I installed archlinux on my desktop a few months ago. I did not realize that the SATA bios settings were on IDE mode when I originally set up my system. I want to make it so that I can use hot-swapping, and for this I absolutely need AHCI (not IDE). In any case, IDE is not the most appropriate for the types of drives I'm using (SATA 3 drives, one is an SSD).
Anyway, HERE ARE THE ERRORS THAT I SEE WHEN I TRY TO BOOT IN AHCI MODE:
ERROR: device 'UUID=***' not found. Skipping fsck.
ERROR: Unable to find root device 'UUID=***'.
You are being dropped to a recovery shell
Type 'exit' to try and continue booting
sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
[rootfs#]..a shell prompt here
I have read that the best thing to do is use the mkinitcpio command from an installation disk, is this right? and if so, why wouldn't I get the same error in IDE mode???
Furthermore, when I'm booting in IDE mode I see this error:
ata4: SRST failed. errno = 16
ata4: SRST failed. errno = 16
ata4: SRST failed. errno = 16
ata4: SRST failed. errno = 16
then it boots...each with about 30 seconds of waiting between each
I have tried making a blank file called /forcefsck in my root directory...that didn't work.
I am running kernel no: 3.9.4-1, also I am using reiserfs
really not sure what to do to make this work?? any ideas would be really helpful.

You should be able to boot using the fallback initrd, since it presumably has ahci support built in. That's easier than fooling around with an installation disk.
The reason you don't get this error in IDE mode is that when you installed, it ran mkinitcpio and generated the initrd based on the modules that were loaded at the time, which would have included the ide/pata driver, but not the ahci driver, since you weren't using ahci mode. Without the driver, it can't read your disks, hence why it can't find your root fs.
