[SOLVED] strange messages while booting

Hi everyone.
Since upgrading open source video card driver (xf86-video-ati), I get the following messages while booting:
Fri Mar 30 10:26:25 2012: Found hardware: "HDA-Intel" "Realtek ALC272" "HDA:10ec0272,1179ff82,00100001" "0x1179" "0xff00"
Fri Mar 30 10:26:25 2012: Hardware is initialized using a generic method
Fri Mar 30 10:26:25 2012: Found hardware: "HDA-Intel" "ATI R6xx HDMI" "HDA:1002aa01,00aa0100,00100100" "0x1179" "0xff80"
Fri Mar 30 10:26:25 2012: Hardware is initialized using a generic method
What does they mean?

Strange message while booting up.

I get this message while booting and am wondering if anyone knows how to correct the problem.
Not activating Mandatory Access Control now since /sbin/tomoyo-init doesn't exist.
I haven't found any solutions or much explanation of what it is using google.

When I read the message I felt brave enough to try installing this mysterious tomoyo-tools, system boots fine like I didn't have it and it's happened about for a week. I forgot to have installed that.
Today my machine have had strange message and didn't boot, I've tried the fallback and the first time has worked. From fallback I have reinstalled tomoyo-tools, thinking some upgrade could have broken the package.
Well, reboot the machine and system still not booting, neither fallback this time. WTH!
I've used the livecd to move the binary /sbin/tomoyo-init (yes of course I can chroot and pacman -R but moving the binary was enough), booting correctly and pacman -R it.
The last message written was about kernel start etc, and the system stuck.

My fstab, regarding these three disks, looks like this:

As u can see, i use the disk id to mount the hdds because they are all external devices and i want to mount them always in the same place.
Maybe thats a problem?
Does anyone know, how to avoid these messages / warnings? They don't hurt but i would like to avoid them.
thx

You cna usually silence the messages by adding 'quiet' on the kernel command line:
kernel /vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/bf1d191b-0f0d-4961-bd67-4d023a2e5873 quiet ro
When pasting code, please use [ code ] tags https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode
like this
It makes the code more readable and more convenient to scroll through.

[SOLVED]LUKS error while booting

This is more of an annoyance than a real problem; however it would be nice to know what is causing this. I have an unencrypted root (/dev/sda3) and two encrypted partitions. While booting I get the following message:
ERROR:Failed to open encryption mapping: The device /dev/sda3 is not a LUKS volume and the crypto= parameter was not specified.
However despite this the root is mounted correctly and the boot process follows normally. My two encrypted volumes also mount correctly. I checked my /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/grub.cfg and didn't see anything that might be giving it the idea that my root partition is encrypted. Am I missing something?
Thanks,
musashi.

you probably have "encrypt" in your HOOKS array in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf .
remove it and rebuilt your initramfs with "mkinitcpio -p linux"

[SOLVED] nouveau error while booting arch

Hi!!! I'm newbie to arch, here is an error I can't solve myself. I search in google for solutions but they didn't solved. Please help me to solve this. I dual booted arch linux with window 8.1. After installation, while booting for the first time, this error occurred.

That is a different problem to be honest. I assume that you can login using your normal user? If you set up sudo you might be able to get into root by using

and change the password like that.
I'm sorry if this is a noob question. Where do I type sudo su because as soon as the OS is booted, the system asks localhost login and password. I haven't installed any desktop environment yet. I only set up a password under arch-chroot but I can't login with and without that password.
I was assuming a normal installed environment with a normal user. Using "sudo su", you can abuse privileges granted by sudo to circumvent the password required by su. A well configured sudo should not allow this, but in this case it seemed likely that the system was not completely set up yet.

Hello
>>Warning: MD5 encryption will be deprecated soon. Please move to SHA256 encryption
SHA256 encryption is stronger as compared to the MD5 encryption and hence, MD5 encryption will soon be deprecated. This warning message is reported during bootup when 'enable secret' and local username is configured using MD5 encryption. You can avoid these messages by moving to SHA256 encryption.
>>Warning: This CLI will be deprecated soon. Please move to radius server CLI.
This seems to be coming from the config command "radius-server host...". This is a result of the IOS preparing for the new addressing schema " IPV6' .
>>Apr 11 14:44:34.619: %IFMGR-7-NO_IFINDEX_FILE: Unable to open nvram:/ifIndex-table No such file or directory
The system found no saved ifIndex information, and ifIndex has not persisted across reboots. The ifIndices will be reassigned.
This is expected when the router does not have "snmp-server ifindex persist" configured. When the same command is configured and saved to NVRAM, it should not be reported again on the next reboot.

Strange messages on boot, can't get into system

My computer was ~1 month unbooted and `pacman -Syu`d couple of times at this time. Now at boot it spits out strange messages like this:
(handwritten so there may be typos)

I was able anyway to boot into my system with Arch LiveCD (kernel 2.6.20) giving kernel root=/dev/sda3 option at boot. I tried compiling 2.6.27.1 and using this new vmlinuz and kernel img (made `oldconfig` from newest livecd /proc/config.gz) , but problem persists. Is it somehow related to I8042 controller? I've set CONFIG_SERIO_I8042=y.
I have also tried adding acpi=off, noapic and irqpoll kernel boot parameters, and with acpi=off I get into
(handwritten so there may be typos)

A 10: help, error message while booting up

hey guys,
i have a toshiba a10 with windows xp home.
whenever i try to boot up the computer, i get an error that reads:
A disc read error occurred
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart
no matter what i do, i cant get past it. ive had this error before and i solved it by pressing f12 during startup and selecting the farthest option (to the right of network)
now im just stuck, if there is any way that i can get past it without having to reformat my hdd it would be great since i have a lot of valuable stuff on there.
thanks a lot,
Jordan

Hi
that sounds strange! At first you should try to save your data with a Boot disk or Boot CD (www.bootdisk.info).
Then you should try to sett your BIOS back to default settings.
Next step is to try to recover your notebook! If there is a error message your HDD is damaged!

Udevd synclient messages while booting

Hi all,
I get messages like these while starting udevd ("Starting UDev Daemon" and "Waiting for UDev uevents to be processed") on my laptop:
udevd[241]: ´usr/bin/synclient TouchPadOff=1´ [627] exit with status 0xffffffff
udevd[241]: ´usr/bin/synclient TouchPadOff=0´ [632] exit with status 0xffffffff
System is up to date (kernel 3.2.2, udev-180).
My kernel parameter includes already "quiet" and "loglevel=3".
Any hints?
Thanks

Does nobody have any clue?

[Laptop] Strange messages at boot - Faulty HDD?

After today's upgrade & reboot I get some messages starting with "sda..." during the boot process. However, the system boots well. Since I don't understand much from that, I post the entire dmesg output:
http://wklej.org/id/1055452/
Could someone take a look at this? Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Probably it was not HDD but DVD... Anyway, all those messages disappeared at today's boot, i have no idea why...
Last edited by Hwiparam (2013-06-03 07:07:05)

Do you have your backup up-to-date?
Check your HD smart status and see if anything is failing. I would say check the sata cable but since it is a laptop there is no cable.
If it happens again I might say either the disk is developing some problem or the sata connector on the motherboard or the motherboard itself might be developing some problem. If your laptop is a few years old I'd start doing regular backups just in case.
Edit:
After a closer look it seems you may be right, the problem seems to come from the cdvd drive and not the hard disk. Keeping an eye on the hd smart status and doing regular backups is still a good idea though.

You should be safe, unless as that article says you have spybot(unlikely since I assume you're on archlinux), or you have one of the particular old routers it mentions.
Thanks! Looks plausible. I'm running IRC from a Linode server (on Arch), so I should be pretty safe in both cases.

Satellite M40-256 - error while booting via CD

Hello,
a well-known friend owns Satellite M40-256 which has Windows problem (error while updating/handling by her children).
She doesn't own an external Toshiba FDD or ODD. Also this portable has no built-in FDD. Buying one only for this issue? NO
The boot priority has been changed to: CD-network-HDD.
I've tried another non Toshiba branded ODD (in BIOS not mentioned/found)
The original ODD works/boots in another pc (via adapter) very great.
Ive tried several CD/DVDs to boot from (no error displayed): instant-Linux like knoppix, suse, other windows CDs, recovery CD, ... no success
Every time the same result: the laptop has a black screen, the ODD speeds up and after about 3 to 5 seconds windows starts with the black-white progress bar.
I also tried to press C to force booting from CD.
Some time ago, I had only access to windows in secured mode. But after uninstalling some updates it ends in a licence problem. This issue can be only solved by booting windows-cd via cd.
It has a Toshiba bios 1.00 (interesting, seems quite old).
I've trying at the moment to boot via network. Does the Toshiba show some messages about succeeding/failing at boot via network or CD?
Has setting the execution bit an influence on behaviour?
Does anybody know a solution booting windows?
Thanks in advance

Thanks for help.
I will look for an other ODD from Toshiba trying for boot.
Does the toshiba bios show messages about booting via cd or network? Even choosing network ends in a faulty Windows boot.
After choosing an item there's no message while booting
As I mentioned: the most interesting issue is ODD works/boots well via adapter in a normal pc and also after windows has been started (secured mode). But no boot possible.
I suspect meanwhile BIOS or Mainboard. But is there a chance for update in secured mode? (the only thing it starts is "secured with prompt"). Cats bites itself in tail.
BIOS also was saved with default setup. Nothing changed.

[SOLVED] Error while booting, related to nilfs2

I've just installed my fresh Arch and used nilfs2 inside vlm2 as my home partition. While booting, I'm getting these errors:
fsck: fsck.nilfs2: not found
fsck: error 2 while executing fsck.nilfs2 for /dev/mapper/TheVG-HomeLV
Other logical volumes are getting "clean" output while checked so it's not vlm-related; they are all ext4.
Partition is mounted and seems to work but I'm scared of just ignoring it and creating my user. ;-)
I have nilfs-utils installed. Is there any hook or module I need to add somewhere in order to use nilfs2 properly (like reiserfs hook)? There is nothing in the Wiki about this file system...
Edit: well, it appears that nilfs doesn't not come with check utility so I'm marking this as solved; sorry for garbage post...

As there is no fsck utility and as it actually is planned to be created (I read that it's needed because the fs can easily crash on power loss; still, it can be recreated, as you stated) - there is a warning while building the kernel. I deleted fsck hook to not see it as my /var and root are sub-volumes of btrfs partition which doesn't need fsck as well. I made a service to umount, fsck and mount back the /boot (ext4) and uefi partitions... just to let you know what you can expect. But it's great anyway, snapshots are really easy to mount and use. I thought it has no wiki page because it's not popular (and probably for a reason) but now I believe it's because there is nothing to write about... it just works. ;-)
