  • Stuck on boot after New Installation

    Hi!
    I've removed Ubuntu and installed Arch and it can't boot after installation. I hangs up after:
    /dev/sda1: clean, 31810/2444624 files, 407160/9770158 blocks
    I have normal BIOS(not UEFI), and two discs: /dev/sda is SSD with Arch and /dev/sdb is HDD with Windows 8...

    Remove quiet from the kernel command line so that you get as much information as possible.
    You only have the one partition for Arch, right? The fstab is complete?
    Look in /etc/default/grub and select the most basic, debugging-friendly options you can. E.g. make sure recovery entries are enabled etc.

  • Mac Mini stuck at boot after upgrading to Yosimite

    Hi All,
    I am using mac Mini late 2012 model with 4 gb ram. I have recently upgraded to OSX Yosimite.
    But now I am facing issue with it.
    My Mac stops at boot. With Apple logo, grey/white screen and progree bar with 0% progress.
    If I keep it as it is for some time, Mac mini temperature rises and i feel the heat while touching the mac mini. And still progress bar show 0% progress.
    But when I switch it off with the help of power button and restart it, it works fine.
    This happen every now and then. I have only monitor, Bluetooth mouse, wired keyboard and LAN cable attached to it. (WIFI stops working after upgrading to OSX now there is no wifi icon in system preferences or in task bar )
    I have tried clean install also. But no success.
    Please suggest why it stops at 0% progress bar. This is working fine before upgrading.
    Regards
    Siddharth

    Hi Adding screenshot of the same. It stuck at 0 %

  • Lenovo E531 failing to boot after it crashed during a Windows 10 update.

    Hello guys, A few weeks back I signed up for the Windows 10 insider program and installed the windows 10 ISO without any problems. Of course there were the usual bugs that you get when working with a non-final build of a new OS, but that's not the problem here. A few days ago I received a new update, and after it was done downloading it prompted me to upgrade to the new version, which I complied to. Halfway the installation I suddenly get the "  Oops, something went wrong, we're collecting information and rebooting your pc" pop-up screen. The error had something to do with installing a driver. After it rebooted I just stared at a black screen. Since then I'm not able to boot into windows anymore. Bascially what happens is when i boot, i get the usual bios screen and the Lenovo splash screen. But followed by a black screen with absolute no information. Apart from one single '-' .When pressing 'enter' I hear a beep, and the "boot interruption" screen pops up with various options. Like booting into the Bios to change settings, and to temporarily chose a different boot device. Getting into the Bios settings is no problem, and i can change anything (I resetted the settings to default just to be sure, which didnt do anything). But as soon as I try to chose a different boot device, I get the same black screen. So I am not able to boot my windows 10 Preview installation DVD. I even tried booting without the HDD installed, which gave me the same screen again. I did all the diagnostics test from the lenovo diagnostics screen, which all resulted in no problems found. It recognizes the HDD, and the DVD when i get the Bios splash screen.  Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this? Thanks so much in advance.

    Thanks for the reply. I tried updating the BIOS by running the .exe on a different pc and burn the BIOS the a CD, and even tried a USB.The thing is that when i want to boot from a CD or USB. I never get the option to do so. Always a black screen.  I've contacted Lenovo support via phone and they told me that I had to buy a recovery disc from https://www.lenovorecovery.com. Which I did. The person on the telephone even told me that it didnt matter what the boot order was, This recovery disc would instantly boot. After i received these discs and tried to boot from them, it didn't work. Just as every other bootable DVD/USB I tried.See below for a pic from my laptop screen. Now I don't see any other option other than sending it to a repairshop to get the bios chip replaced... Any ideas?  Thanks! https://www.dropbox.com/s/sdln9jnysc8vmas/2015-08-10%2013.49.26.jpg?dl=0    

  • [solved] Update got me stuck on boot after activating lvm

    I did an update which contained a new kernel.  Now the system just hangs after this...
    Activating logical volumes
    4 logical volume(s) in volume group "VolGroup00" now active.
    Now I've booted in the live environment and use vgscan and vgchange -ay and I can see my partitions in /dev/mapper.  /boot is on it's own partition, not on lvm.
    I believe I need to rebuild the image, but I'm unsure as to how I should mount my partitions, and which partitions I should mount.  root, var, swap  and home are on lvm.  I tried figuring it out with the wiki, but my brain is burnt, and I'm really going nowhere fast.  Anybody could take pity on me and just give me the answer of what come next?

    I had the same problem. Here's a step by step solution:
    * Boot a live cd
    * # vgchange -ay
    * Mount your / partition to a folder
    * Bind proc, dev and sys like this:
    mount -t proc proc ${your-root}/proc
    mount -t sysfs sys ${your-root}/sys
    mount -o bind /dev ${your-root}/dev
    * # chroot ${your-root} /bin/bash
    Once you are in the chroot, mount your boot partition to /boot (do this *inside* the chroot!)
    * #mkinitcpio -p linux
    * reboot
    Hope it helps

  • Games crashing on XP with boot camp, anyone else have this problem?

    I got my new MacBook for christmas (2.4 ghz & 4GB ram) and have just put XP on it using boot camp.
    I've updated to SP3 and updated all drivers from the apple disk and internet, the problem I'm having is the games play fine for about 10mins and then the fans go into overdrive and after a few more minutes the game crashes and freezes. This happens with every game I have installed.
    Anyone else having this problem, know a fix?
    Sound like software or hardware issue?
    Cheers

    Hi
    It sounds like the HD is the problem (either hardware or software related). My vote is "hardware". However, try the following steps in the event the problem is software related.
    First, hold down the shift key on the start-up. This puts the computer start-up into Safe Mode. If the HD is recognized as the start-up disk, then continue through the log-in. When the start-up is finished, restart the computer, this time without holding down the shift key.
    If it doesn't work, there may be HD directory corruption. To "repair the disk" insert your Tiger Installer DVD (disk 1). After it loads, restart the system, holding down the C key when the screen turns dark. Once the grey Apple screen appears you can let go of the C key.
    When the DVD is fully loaded, select Disk Utility in the Utility menu. A window will open showing your HD on the left. Single click on your HD, then select "repair disk" in the lower right of the screen. If errors appear during the "repair", rerun the utility until you get a clean pass. Depending on the Then quit the Utility and Installer, letting the computer restart.
    As an aside, repairing permissions using the Installer DVD sets the system's permissions to those in use for the OS X version on that DVD. If your HD has a later version of OS X, it is possible that the incorrect permissions were set when you used Disk Utility in the Installer DVD to repair them. Best approach is to use Disk Utility in your Utilities folder after logging-in, rather than the Installer Disc.

  • Not Booting after recent Security Patch/Java update

    My wife has experienced what many have experienced with the recent update.
    MacBook not booting after update (i.e. - "I have no name!")
    I have tried everything posted on this topic since 2/13/09, but without any success. Does anyone have the fix for this yet?
    Things I have tried:
    * I can boot in safe mode (holding "Shift" while restarting)
    * I cannot boot from an install disk(s) (holding C while restarting) - I have both a black one from purchase, and two gray ones with purchase from MiniMac
    * Booting with verbose - gets stuck at same place as everyone else
    Operating in safe mode:
    * I can run DU and "repair" drive
    * I can see and access the CD/DVD
    * I cannot see drive in target drive mode (doesn't ever connect the 2 systems)
    * I downloaded the update files from apple and reinstalled them individually (via USB ext Drive) with a reboot in between
    * I attempted to update & archive, but I cannot run install CD from any systems disks (see above)
    Has anyone figured out how to fix this yet?

    The workaround is to reboot the machine, after the second boot the inbound smtp mail delivery is no longer stuck.
    The issue seems to be related to http://serverfault.com/questions/138690/amavisd-net-server-pid-file-already-exis ts-after-system-crash-and-startup
    How to permanently fix Apple Mail Server to accept smtp inbound messages on first boot, by removing the left over amavis pid_file from the previous unclean shutdown?

    Use connection pooling. This will put the connection management in the hands of the webserver, not your code. Check out this post:

  • Can't Boot After New HD + Time Machine Restore

    So a couple days ago my 27" iMac running Snow Leopard started making some weird noises and stalling out. Annoyed, I talked for a couple hours with apple tech support which eventually lead me to run an Apple Hardware Test. This test returned the error
    "Alert! Apple Hardware Test has detected an error.
    4HDD/11/40000000 SATA(0,0)"
    I scheduled an appointment at the Genius Bar, and they replaced the hard drive.
    After that I got it home and did a System restore from my time machine backup. It finished fine, but when I restarted it got stuck on the grey apple screen with the spinning dial thing.
    I called apple back and they had me do a couple things like repair disk, verify disk, and one person had me reboot into this command line mode and type some stuff in. Nothing worked. After that They had me try to reinstall the OS first from archive, and next by erasing the hard drive and doing it. Both times the install fails with a big yellow exclamation point saying that it couldn't install support files and the OS couldn't be installed.
    Any ideas how to fix this?
    I'm currently trying to restore from my time machine backup again, but I'm not hopeful.

    Here's what I got - apologies for any formatting peculiarities.
    The problem: 10.6.6 mac won't boot after time machine restore to disk.
    Further symptoms: Booting with Command-v shows several errors: usually blued and loginwindow collapse with errors from launchd. Errors will be of the style "dyld: Symbol not found: CSSMOID_APPLE_TP_MACAPPSTORERECEIPT" and other CommerceKit / CommerceCore framework errors.
    A solution: Your Framework Security library may be an older version (possible cause with Time Machine below). The easiest way to fix this is to find another, working 10.6.6 Mac, and update the Security library on the broken machine.
    Identifying if you're affected:
    1) Boot the broken machine into "target" mode - hold "Command-t" during boot until the [Firewire|http://itunesu.utah.edu/terms/images/Firewire_Icon.png] icon appears.
    2) Connect the broken machine to the working 10.6.6 machine with a firewire cable.
    3) On the working machine, the disk of the broken machine should mount.
    4) Open Terminal
    5) Run "ls /Volumes" - the name of disk you mounted should be there (in this example, we'll use "Macintosh HD".)
    6) Typing in the path of the broken machine, run:
    <pre>
    nm /Volumes/Macintosh HD/System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework/Versions/A/Security | grep random_fd | cut -d. -f2
    </pre>
    (this does a dump of the library, looking for the version value)
    If this comes back with the value 22457 (or less?), your Mac is not booting because it does not have the updated version of the Security library, which is required in 10.6.6 since Snow Leopard added the Appstore / Commerce framework.
    Fixing if you're affected:
    1) First, make sure the working 10.6.6 Mac has a correct version of the framework:
    <pre>
    nm /System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework/Versions/A/Security | grep random_fd | cut -d. -f2
    </pre>
    For 10.6.6, this should be at least "22458"
    2) *Be extremely careful at this point* - Make sure on the mounted disk (not the machine you are working on!) run the following
    <pre></pre>
    2a) Make a backup of the broken library
    <pre>
    mkdir /Volumes/Macintosh HD/savedLibrary
    cp /Volumes/Macintosh HD/System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework/Versions/A/Security /Volumes/Macintosh HD/savedLibrary
    </pre>
    2b) Copy the working version over the non-working version:
    <pre>
    cp /System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework/Versions/A/Security /Volumes/Macintosh HD/System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework/Versions/A/Security
    </pre>
    3) Eject the mounted disk from the working Mac, disconnect the firewire cable, and reboot the "broken" Mac. It should come up.
    If it doesn't, you have problem(s) that are probably outside the scope of this. I'd also suggest restoring your original security library that you saved off.
    Suspected cause:
    It appears that Time Machine never recorded the change to the Security library after the update. If the library hadn't changed, the machine should have failed to boot like it did after restore the moment a 10.6.6 update was applied.
    Inspecting the contents of my Time Machine backups before and after updating shows that Time Machine never updated the Security Framework library - why is still not 100% determined, but restoring from it is definitely broken. Combing through the backup databases on my Time Machine disk:
    (I upgraded to 10.6.6 on January 6)
    <pre>
    for name in 2010-12-30-093337 2011*
    do
    echo -n "In backup on ${name}, version of Security library is: "
    nm "${name}/Macintosh HD/System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework/Versions/A/Security" | grep random_fd | cut -d. -f2
    done
    </pre>

  • Mac Mini will not boot after Security Update 2008-007

    Hello,
    A G4 Mac Mini machine I was asked to take a look at will not boot after the owner (succesfully) installed Security Update 2008-007 from Software Update. Booting always hangs at the blue screen after the Apple logo, and booting in verbose mode reveals that WindowServer is crashing repeatedly. Permissions and filesystems have been repaired, PRAM reset, etc. Safe boot also exhibits the same problem, but it is possible to boot to single user mode. Hardware checks out fine with diagnostic utilities.
    Any suggestions on how to fix this? Unfortunately, backups are not available (it's not my machine =).

    Hi Arkku , and a warm welcome to the forums!
    I'd certainly give Sig's advice a try first.
    If that should fail...

    Once you've done that the computer reboots and it's like the first time you used the machine. Your old accounts are all safe. From there you just change all other account passwords in the account preferences!!

  • Kernel panic on first boot after 10.6.8 update

    Hi,
    Here are the fact:
    1) I systematically get a kernel panic on first boot after an attempt to update to 10.6.8 (was able to revert to 10.6.7 using Time Machine; now I'm running my tests on a clone). While doing the update, there are NO USB connexion to my laptop, nor ethernet connexion. Only the power cable.
    2) I DO NOT use the software Hands Off which is known to cause such an issue
    3) I've tested this on two different hard drive (with a clone of my system)
    4) I disabled all third app on startup just to be sure this wasn't a conflict problem
    5) After a kernel panic, I'm always able to boot in safe mode
    6) I did try both the normal update and the combo update (same result)
    Now I'm kinda stuck. The next test I'm thinking performing is to update while in safe mode. But I don't know if it will help.
    And yes, my permissions are all fine. Any idea how to troubleshoot this? I believe I need to be in 10.6.8 in order to update to Lion?
    Many thanks in advance!
    Parneix

    Hi,
    Sorry about that. Below you'll find the log of my latest kernel panic.
    I did follow instructions suggested by user "ds store". The only "kext" file that I've got (by running the commands in the Terminal) was related to the software LittleSnitch. I downloaded it again in order to run the uninstaller. I'll try again to update to 10.6.8 under those conditions and report here.

  • Stuck while booting in single user mode. How to go back?

    Guys. I'd appreciate your advice very much - this concerns my main system. 
    MacBook 3,1 with OSX 10.5.? (latest)
    Did: activate single user boot in Onyx; reboot
    Problem: stuck at boot (apple logo & spinning wheel  on gray background for 2hours+). Persistent across reboots. 
    No different results for this key combinations: cmd-opt-p-r, power button for 5 sec whilst without battery/cable, cmd-s, C (possibly not recognized due to firmware password) Power button held down from switch-on moment makes the light flash a few times, produces a beep but no improvement. 
    Interestingly pressing alt lets me choose the os (HD or Leopard install disc) but gets stuck the same way regardless. It boots into Ubuntu tho. 
    I have a TIme Machine disk that I can restore from, and can read from the internal Leopard HD while in Ubuntu.
    So, please: how do I get it to boot? I'd set the nvram bootargs="" but from where...
         

    Sorry, don't know how you'd recover from the apparent limbo you're in, but this would agree with the explanation you already hit upon.
