System always starts fsck's at boot and can't start normally.

First of all, let me say that this forum is awesome. I've just started my first real ArchLinux experiment and you guys have helped me out so much already!
Anyway, my system keeps starting fsck's at boot. It then starts counting to 1 minute and 30 seconds, after which it stops the fsck and drops into into emergency mode. I can only boot by passing the "fsck.mode=force" parameter to the kernel from the boot manager.
I copied what I think are the relevant lines from journalctl:

It seems there is a problem mounting /home. What device do you mount there; and does that exist when you end up in the rescue-shell?

  • Just starting to use InDesign CS2 and can't pull up my previous Pagemaker files; what do I do?

    Just starting to use InDesign CS2 and can't pull up my previous Pagemaker files; says "damaged and cannot be recovered"
    How can I retrieve those?

    I have no idea what "diagnostic recompose" is...
    Step 3 in this linked technote will show you how to do a diagnostic recompose - on a Mac. Instructions for doing it on Windows are out there somewhere, I'll try to find 'em if you can't. The technote tells you to remove graphics from master pages; I'd also unembed graphics (make sure all graphics are linked, not stored in the PageMaker doc) in order to try to get it to open up in ID.
    I'm sure there are more things you can try, if that doesn't work, but my broken-PageMaker-doc skills are pretty rusty.
    Also, you may want to edit your response on the forums webpage, and delete it from your future email-replies, so your email address and phone number aren't preserved for all to see on the forums, forever.

    Perhaps try the following document. (It's a better bet with a 1067 error message when trying to start AMDS, but I think it's worth a check.)

  • If it starts downloading on the ipad how can i start downloading on computer

    if I have rented a movie on my ipad and it starts downloading on the ipad how can i start downloading on computer as it is taking too long via wifi

    I know you need iTunes tosynchorinize your iPad, and i know ther is a connection kit (i searched internet before posting this question).
    The point is:
    We are on vacation. the iPad is my fathers. We have here only his iPad and my laptop. We wanted to put foto's we made with a digital camera foto's on the iPad, so i connected the iPad to my laptop, and was able to copy the foto's to the iPad. So they are on the iPad, but they cannot be viewed. Since I do not want to instll software on my laptop I do not need my self, and we see no point in buyin a connection kit for one time use, it would be great if you could just copy foto's to the iPad and then view them.
    I would appreciate it very much if someone could tell me how to do this. I am not used to working with tablets.so I am used to thinking "PC wise": youo copy files to a location on your computer and then you use a program to open those files. I know it works differently on an iPad, but it woul be great if this was one option that also would be available.

  • My MacBook Pro 13 inch makes a clicking noise from the hard drive and can not start up in safe mode and normal. I then ran disk utility in recovery mode and disk utility shows no problems with the hard drive. What is the problem?

    Please help me, I have a mid 2010 Mac book pro with a toshiba mk3266gsxf harddrive. It started making a clicking noise and then my computer crashed. I proceeded to boot in safe mode, but it doesn't work. When I ran disk utility in recovery mode, it showed no problem with my disk. Does any one know what the problem is?

    Sounds like a mechanical problem with the drive and it ruined the sectors where the Macintosh HD partition (and OS X, and files and programs) reside, but not your Recovery HD partition.
    If you held command option r while booting, that's Internet Recovery and it's loaded via the Internet, not via the Recovery HD partition on the boot drive, so that could mean the drive is dead mechanically or there is another issue.
    In either case the drive will likely have to be replaced, it's a matter of what occured to where and the drive state if you can recover data or not. If you made recent backups then your fine.
    My computer is not working, is my personal data lost?

  • Lion iMac won't boot and can't re-install OS as disk locked.

    Hi, my iMac was purchased in 2011 and is running Lion, Mac OS X 10.7.5.
    On Monday it stopped booting and gets stuck at the apple logo and spinning thingy.
    I have tried to Verify and Repair the Macintosh HD disk but both fail. Next step I wanted to try was to re-install the OS which I understand will keep my settings and data. When I go into this option the disc is greyed out and it says "The disk is locked".
    Do I need to unlock the disc, if so then any ideas how I do this ??
    What other diagnostics should I try ??
    Many thanks in advance for help.

    When you try to install and check your hard drive, and you starting the computer from the recovery partition.
    Restarting your computer by holding down the command + R, Additional if you have access to DiskWarrior you should give that a try to repair your hard drive.

  • HT1492 Start-up disk is full and can't go past the blue screen; can't delete read-only files on single-user mode. Please help.

    I have had my Mac mini for about 6 years and I guess it had enough of me (haha), so the start-up disk got full and it shut down before I could empty files on my drive. Unfortunately, all these years I hadn't backed up anything and now I can't access anything since it won't boot past the apple logo (and the blue screen for that matter). I have tried rebooting (holding shift as the mac mini loads), but that didn't help since the start-up disk will still be full and stuck on the blue screen. I am now trying the single-user mode (holding command key+s), and I tried to delete files in the trash bin but all of the files are read-only and access is denied! so I basically can't delete anything on the mac mini (it says "Root device is mounted read-only"). So the key here is to change the permissions but I don't know how to exactly do that. Can someone help me figure this out? (and type the command in the unix language please!!) [ Note: We have two users on this mac mini if that helps.]

    Run the following command:
    mount -uw /
    This isn't a permissions issue.

  • T400 does not start up with a battery and AC, but starts up with only AC.

    I bought T400, 7417-CTO in Jan 2010. My T400 does not start up with a battery and AC power. I tried to start with only AC power after pulling out the battery, it worked fine. Even when I inserted the battery in T400, which was running perfectly with AC only, T400 seems to lose the power - more strictly speaking, it kept stoping and re-running several times, and finally it dead.
    a few possibilities
    1) a battery is dead - but it does not explain the failure with both AC and battery
    2) some hibernation issue - I plugged in and out the DIMM, and clock battery. I tried to keep pushing the power button trick, but it didn't work
    3) Mother board failure??
    I really appreciate if you give me some advice on it.
    Wanyong

    Thanks for all your kind and helpful comments.
    Unfortunately, I don't have any friends who have Lenovo - or I don't have many friends here since I moved in the last summer. ;-)
    After purchasing a new battery, I will update it. Hope that this thread helps someone who had/will have same prob. as mine.

  • Fsck check on boot and Ctrl+C

    Well... just today when I was booting Arch, fsck kicked in (30th mount). I pressed Control+C by accident and to my surprise it killed fsck and boot process halted with warnings/errors that read 'fsck failed, should be run manually' . Is this a bug?

    No it isn't, because fsck aborted with a non-zero exit code. This boots you into single user mode and asks the root password so you can get into a recovery shell.

  • My Iphone 3G stopped booting and failed to start. After some time, I have restored the Iphone OS using Itunes (ver 4.2). Itunes restored it successfully, but the Iphone didn't responded and remained the same.except apple logo, nothing is displayed.

    Hi,
    I have an Iphone 3G.
    Its 9 months old mobile and it has OS 4.2 in it.
    When I am accessing wi-fi, suddenly the display went-off and then I was not able to start my phone again.
    Later I tried to restore and update the Iphone using Itunes.
    I have updated the Itunes.
    Using hard-reset, I tried to restore the OS and did the same successfully.
    After installing the same over my Iphone 3G, I didnt recieved any intimation for completion of the process, besides, I was not able to start the mobile even I have reset the OS.
    when I push the wake-up button, I am able to see the Apple Logo and after some time, it goes off and remains idle with no more display.
    I tried to reset OS twice, it remained the same.
    Can any one help me here with this issue.
    I am not even able to figure-out the cause of the problem.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Macbook Pro 2.16 late 2006 fans ALWAYS running at 6000rpm from boot and on

    OK..
    So, I've read most of the help documents already on this issue .. and I can't seem to find a solution from anything that works for me. No, I do not have anything running that takes a ton of CPU, no, nothing in Activity Monitor shows up taking an ungodly amount of CPU (actually, nothing is really taking anything ....), Yes, all of my updates are installed, and no, my temperature sensor seems not to be broken.
    I haven't done the startup test from the DVD yet, but judging from several fan control applications (such as Fan Control, the pref. panel.. or SMC Fan Control, the app) my sensors are working just fine. One of my fans needs to be replaced sometime in the near future (bearings are going out for the second time and it has a horribly annoying whine to it), but I know that the fan is still working quite effectively in cooling, by temp of the computer to touch and by the sensors. I would love any ideas that are out there as the whine from that fan is driving me nuts and killing my already poor battery life.
    Thanks in advance!!!!
    -M

    I think Evan's point was that if you have used fan control software there could be a chance that modifications have been made to the system's internal fan control behaviour that is causing this problem.
    Using fan control software to boost the speed of the fans can also cause them to wear out prematurely.
    Run the AHT off the DVD and see if it throws up any codes. If it does, then you may have faulty temperature sensors despite what the fan hacks say. If that is the case, Apple will replace the logic board free of cost if you are under warranty (Applecare).
