  • 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.

  • 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)
    isapnp: No Plug Play device found
    Serial: driver ports IRQ sharing disabled
    serial : ttyS at I O x f irq = is a NS A
    serial : : activated

    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)

    bus: index mmio : [ ffffffff]

    Trying 2008.6 LiveCD's "boot into existing linux system" reverts into same problem.
    So I got no more ideas.

  • [SOLVED] strange messages while booting

    Hi everyone.
    Since upgrading open source video card driver (xf86-video-ati), I get the following messages while booting:

  • [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...

    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.

  • IMac - strange message

    I have an iMac DV G3 with OS9 and OSX 10.0 was working fine until the other day - it had question mark flashing I started it with software install disc OS9 and didn't realize my daughter had borrowed OSX from school to work on the school newspaper. I bought OSX from the internet and after backing up my photos to a flashdrive last night, installed the OSX 10.0 it said installation was successful then I got this strange message on the screen it starts with "panic(cpu0): unable to find driver for this platform: "PowerMac2,1" bunch of other stuff then ends with panic: We are hanging here...
    Can someone please help me with this. Thanks much.

    Hi Kenichi & Marie,
    It strikes me that a good option at this point, given the OS issues and kernel panics at start-up, may be to beg or borrow another Firewire equipped Mac if possible, to boot the iMac CRT into Target Disc Mode, and to copy across the data from the iMacs HD to a folder on the other computer.
    THis might save a lot of time if the kernel panic is actually occurring because of a hardware problem of some kind. Once you had done so you could go on to steps like erasing the HD etc much more safely.
    That way the data would be "safe" and people could then try and sort out the other problems with less concern about losing things that matter.
    Marie, just about any Mac from the time of the iMac G3 onwards would be able to do this, as long as it has enough free HD space to cope with your data. Know anyone with an iBook or a MacBook or such who would be prepared to help you with such a thing? Is there a local Apple user group, or perhaps a school, who could perhaps help out in this fashion?
    Cheers

  • I'm getting "Installer disk not found" message during boot camp 5 and windows 8 install on late 2011 MBP upgraded to Mavericks.

    hello,
    And thank you in advance.
    I'm getting "Installer disk not found" message during boot camp 5 and windows 8 install on late 20011 MBP upgraded to OS X 10.9 Mavericks. Any ideas?
    I've downloaded the Window support option software and the WindowSetupBox.exe and copied it to the USB drive. I tried to create an iso image from my Windows XP machine but recieved messages that Windows 8.1 could not run on XP.  I've ordered the Windows 8.1 backup media.
    Any way to proceed?
    Thanks  Tim

    download the win 8 iso from here;
    http://getintopc.com/softwares/operating-systems/download-windows-8-pro/
    then start over. install on to your usb along with the support software.

  • Strange message when logged in to bpel console

    Hi All!
    I just installed bpel on my linux machine. After starting the bpel server and logging into the console I saw this strange message:
    Cannot find instances.
    An attempt to fetch the instances using the where condition " ( ci_state = 1 OR ci_state = 2 OR ci_state = 3 )order by ci_modify_date desc " from the datastore has failed. The exception reported is: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist.
    Please check that the machine hosting the datasource is physically connected to the network.
    Also I created a pl/sql helloworld webservice, and a bpel process to invoke it through a partnerlink. After deploying it to the default domain I see only name of the bpel process in the deployed processes list unlike both the bple process name and the webservice name.
    The linux flavor I am using is fedora red hat. The database is oracle 10g on the localhost itself. The bpel version is 10.1.2.0.2.
    What could be the cause of these problems. I feel the second problem is because of the first problem that is there. Any suggestions and solutions please.
    Thanking in advance,
    Regards,
    Deepika.

    Hi All!
    Ran the script for the view generation. Found it in domain_oracle.ddl. Granted dba privilege to orabpel to execute the script. Redeployed the bpel process. Now no error is there and the bpel process works fine.I think to successfully install bpel on linux box orabpel needs admin privileges.
    Regards,
    Deepa.

  • Warning message on boot.

    I have a Netra ct800 running Solaris 5.8 Generic_108528-07.
    As the machine is coming up I notice a warning message which reads:
    "WARNING: scsb: HSC not initialized or AC not present!"
    My question is, what is this message trying to tell me.
    Is the a repository of error and warning messages that I can search?
    I ruled out AC for the 120v power line. The machine runs on -48 volts in the telco office.
    Thanks.

    I had been noticing the fast tsc calibration failed message at boot for quite a long time on my old Samsung Q35 which is a BIOS boot netbook with arch running the x86 system. The message has continued to show up through many kernel updates including 3.17.4-1-ARCH.
    After doing a bit of research I found a simple solution to getting rid of this warning during boot. In my case I use grub as the bootloader and that is where a workaround is possible.
    I edited the following two lines in /etc/default/grub to add in "clocksource=tsc":
    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet clocksource=tsc"
    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="clocksource=tsc"
    Then regenerated the grub.cfg file with:
    grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
    After rebooting the machine the tsc calibration warning no longer appears.  Presumably similar workarounds are available for other bootloaders also.
    Hope this may help even though I only discovered this workaround 5 months after this thread had its last post!

    grep all these logs and systemd's journal.
    If you have 'quiet' on the kernel line of your bootloader, remove it.
