System crash during upgrade

First off my system seems to now work fine . I'm curious to where I messed up tho so I'll try to briefly tell you about my update this morning.
It's been 2 month since I last updated I followed the news.
pacman -Qqo /bin /sbin /usr/sbin | pacman -Qm -
Resulted in grub-common from what I could google that should not matter.
[2013-07-12 07:04] [PACMAN] Running 'pacman -Syu --ignore filesystem,bash'
[2013-07-12 07:04] [PACMAN] synchronizing package lists
[2013-07-12 07:04] [PACMAN] starting full system upgrade
During the update X (I assume) crashed I still had sound but the system was frozen while flickering between a black and white screen. I had to cool boot.
On startup I got sent to busy box. I did a chroot into the system.
chroot /mnt/arch /usr/bin/bash
Cannot chroot '/bin/bash': No such file or directory
Not sure if it's related.

I rebuild the kernel then for some reason I decided to reinstalled grub too.
Now the system boots. As I started out I am wondering why this happened?
edit; was never able to find a useful clue and it has not repeated itself thanks for trying to help btw.

Are you wondering why X crashed or why X's crashing followed by reboot resulted in being dumped into the busybox shell?
I have no idea about the first.
Regarding the second, as I understand it, you rebooted before updating bash or filesystem, correct? So basically, anything looking for commands under /bin, /sbin or /usr/sbin would have drawn a blank because the upgrades you'd completed would have correctly moved everything to /usr/bin leaving those directories empty (except for bash etc.). The final upgrade of filesystem removes those empty directories and replaces them with symbolic links to /usr/bin which ensures that anything looking for stuff in /bin etc. will continue to find it. If you look in /etc/shells, for example, you will see that most shells are still specified as /bin/<shell> just for instance.
I'm not sure why X crashing prevented you from completing the upgrade. Did you try switching to another tty and just continuing at the command line? (Or restartintg X?)

  • Where is memory.dmp if server crash during upgrade?

    I am updating a server from 2008r2 to 2012, but server keeps crash during upgrade.
    I am trying to dig into memory dump and core dump. It usually locate at \windows\memory.dmp if server crash.
    Where does the file locate during upgrade?

    Hi,
    Based on my experience, the memory dump file will be created by the operating system in its own folder in the MEMORY.DMP
    file by default. Windows keeps a list of all the small memory dump files in the %SystemRoot%\Minidump folder if you have choose the “small memory dump” option in the Startup and Recovery page. Of course, you can change the folder location for the memory dump
    files.
    If you can access to the page of
    Startup and Recovery, you can view the location of the memory dump file.

  • System crash during database extension

    Hello!
    Unfortunatly we experienced a system crash during database extension.  The new datafile (DISKD0013) was only partly (1,4GB of 9GB) created, when the server went down.
    These are the error messages we get when trying to start the database:

    Is there a manual way to correct this problem by removing the "corrupted" DISKD0013?
    Regards,
    Fredrik

    Hi Fredrik,
    you can either:
    a) remove all necessary parameters from the paramfile using the relevant dbmcli commands (param_directdel)
    b) perform a parameterfile recovery using dbmcli (param_restore)
    You're okay as long as nothing was written on the new volume.
    When using a) you need to make sure you delete all necessary parameter entries belonging to the datavolume (size, type etc.).
    When you're restoring to an old parameterfile, you need to make sure the parameterfile's only difference is the datavolume extension as the last change, otherwise you'd possibly reset more than you'd like. To check the parameterhistory, you can for example take a look at the <DBSID>.pah file in the /sapdb/data/config directory.
    If you're unsure what to do, i.e. if it's a productive system and you're an SAP customer: open an OSS message.

  • Why does Final Cut cause a hard system crash after upgrading computer's memory?

    2x2.8 gHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon MacPro that orginally came with 2gBs of memory. We upgraded to 4gBs of memory by adding 2 1gB ram chips. Ever since, Final Cut Pro has been causing hard system crashes. Does anybody have an idea why this is happening?

    Installing memory is very specific
    the correct type of DIMMs must be installed in the correct slots dependant on the type of processor fitted
    install exactly as per the Mac Pro guidelines here:
    Mac Pro Memory DIMM Instalation
    you will have to reload the web page a few times after the page warning to down load correctly (command R)
    if it is per the instructions and your having trouble, the DIMMs are most likely faulty

  • Unexpected system crash  during ipod sync

    My system crashes often during an itunes sync with my ipod touch. It will just turn off my computer without any warning.
    Has anyone else reported this? I am running windows vista home pro on a gateway 3.2gh dual core processor.  Itunes is the only program that causes me trouble, any help would be appreciated

    After many uninstalls and reinstalls itunes still wouldnt work.
    i finally did a system restore back to when i updated itunes, then updated itunes again to the new version and it seemed to fix my problem.

  • Satellite M15 S405 System Crash during defraging - cannot reboot

    I have a Toshiba Satellite M15 S-405 laptop running Windows XP. In the midst of defraging my hard drive, my system crashed. I tried various means of rebooting, but I keep getting the following message
    '"Windows cannot start because the file is missing or corrupted
    Windows\system32\config\system
    You can attempt to repair this file by starting Windows Setup using the original Setup CD-ROM, Select 'r' at the first screen to start repair""
    The Recovery and Applications CD that came with my laptop will only allow me the option of re-installing Windows while wiping my hard drive of all my files. Needless to say, I do not want to do this. I have tried booting into Safe Mode, but I am unable to get the system to boot at all. It starts to boot and shows me the "Windows XP" logo, but it does not go any further. Can you suggest a workaround for me to boot my system so that I can try to see where the problem is?
    Thank you.

    Colleen, I am suggesting that you first attempt to resurrect your Windows as it is now. The steps are in my previous posts. 
    If you wish to try..
    1. Create a set of floppies which should enable you to access the Recovery Console. It doesn't say that in the articles, but you can access the Recovery Console from the Setup floppies just like from a Windows XP installation CD.
       How to obtain Windows XP Setup disks for a floppy boot installation
       Description of the Windows XP Recovery Console for advanced users
    2. Once in the Recovery Console, follow Microsoft's instructions here.
       How to recover from a corrupted registry that prevents Windows XP from starting
    If the first floppy won't boot, then we can download a bootable CD that can access the Windows files and follow Microsoft's instructions for replacing the registry hives.
    That may sound too technically challenging to you. In that case, we can give up on this installation of Windows altogether and talk about how to rescue your important files.

  • System Crash During Bios Update

    I have a HP TouchSmart 600-1055 All-in-One. While I was performing a bios update, the system crashed. Now, I can't boot the PC up. It doesn't even show that blue HP boot up screen and keep beeping. It's out of warranty already. What can I do?

    Hi
    I think you were trying to update bios via windows mode.. !
    try removing battery from your motherboard and also reset bios via jumper settings..
    or 
    Disconnect all external devices first.
    1-remove power cord and battery
    2-press power button for 20 seconds
    3-reinstall only power cord for first startup.
    4-power on
    or

  • System Crash During iPhone Sync -- Now Cannot Sync

    My Mac OS X 10.4.11 system crashed while syncing Address Book and iCal with my iPhone. Now, when attempting to sync in iTunes, it says that syncing is disabled and asks if I want to enable it. When I say "yes," it says "Syncing cannot be enabled on this computer."
    I saw a post that said to run iSync to reset the syncing parameters, but iSync doesn't run properly. It takes a long time to launch and once it does, no menu items appear when clicking on its menus.

    If you call Apple tech support, I suspect the first thing they are going to tell you to do is to reinstall iTunes. I would recommend trying that and, if it doesn't fix the problem, calling 1-800-MY-iPHONE

  • System crash during infoCube compression

    Hello Community,
    Our system crashed due to failed memory DIMM while two fact table compression jobs were active. 
    Because it was a hard crash without an orderly shutdown, any transactions in SAP not yet committed were lost. 
    However, the oracle database did a successful recovery when the system was restarted, so no committed transaction were lost.
    Is it possible that data was lost, corrupted, or duplicated in those cubes as a result of the interrupted compression jobs ?

    Hi Fredrik,
    you can either:
    a) remove all necessary parameters from the paramfile using the relevant dbmcli commands (param_directdel)
    b) perform a parameterfile recovery using dbmcli (param_restore)
    You're okay as long as nothing was written on the new volume.

  • System crash during data archiving

    Gurus:
    We have a serious concern that is if our R3 server crash during our data archiving runs:
    1) if crash happens at write phase, can we simply remove  the generated archive , restart the write  job?
         We are NOT sure if  the second run will archive those records that were archived in the failed first run.
    2) if crash happens at delete phase, a simple restart of the same delete job will be enough? (We use "store before delete").
    Because this archiving is too important to us, please help. 
    Thanks a lot!

    Christoph:
    Thank you for your reply.
    This crash has not happened yet.
    We are making a plan about how to cope with this possibility.
    But we do not have experience with any crash during archiving process.
    Therefore we ask  for people's experience about following scenarios:
    1) if crash happens at write phase, can we simply remove the generated archive , restart the write job?
    We are NOT sure if the second run will archive those records that were archived in the failed first run.
    2) if crash happens at delete phase, a simple restart of the same delete job will be enough? (We use "store before delete").
    Would you please help?
    Thank you again.

  • System crash during screensharing since Maverics. Maybe it's the RAM?

    I have a MBR feb 2013 (with 8GB of RAM). I'm also using an external 24" LG monitor connected through HDMI.
    Ever since upgrading to Maverics (3months ago) every time I do longer (10mins+) screensharing calls on skype (voice + share screen) or a skype voice call + a join.me screenshare my system either:
    suddenly closes all apps and logs me out and I have to sign back in
    completely freezes (I can still hear the other person on the line for 3-4mins and then nothing). During this freeze the system doesn't respond to anything - can't even move cursor, keys don't respond. The only solution is to hold down the power button and rebook.
    I tried a debug session with skype support (allthough this problem happens with join.me and Google Hangouts as well) and after cleaing files, repairing permissions, doing a complete uninstall and checking that all software is up to date, the only conclusion is not enough memory available.
    I've seen in other threads that Mavericks uses RAM memory differently (supposedly more efficiently too). During screensharing when I check the activity monitor the RAM memory is used almost to the maximum. Do you think this could be a reason for the crashes?
    Thanks,
    Bogdan

    I've upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard... fine.
    Installing the system updates (the AppStore isn't in the Snow Leopard install, just available via a system update)
    The updates appear to have downloaded ok, then the system restarts to install, and .... CRASH. All's I'm trying to do is legally get to Lion.
    I have a 15" Macbook Pro, 2gb ram, dual core Intel, 120gb drive.
    Should I re-install Snow Leopard, or anyone have any good ideas?  I suppose it could even be a hardware problem of some sort, but the system seeems stable unless I try to do the sw updates.
    Please help!
    Thanks all!

    dual core Intel   /    All's I'm trying to do is legally get to Lion.
    Lion requirements:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    From here > Apple - OS X Lion - Technical specifications
    Click your Apple icon top left corner of your screen then from the drop down menu click: About This Mac
    If it doesn't say:  Intel Core 2 Duo  
    Then you can't upgrade the Mac to Lion.

  • Ipod Touch, 1st generation crashed during upgrade to v3.1.3 software

    I have just paid to upgrade the software on my 1st generation Ipod touch. The software seems to have downloaded to my itunes, but some sort of error message occured during the download, and my ipod has crashed. The screen is locked on an image of an apple icon with a download progress bar half way filled. I can't turn the ipod on or off. When I plug it into the computer, it recognizes that a device is there, and it allows me to sync my ipod, but the screen remains unchanged. Does anyone have any idea on what I can do to fix this?
    Thanks!

    I am continuing to have problems with getting my ipod touch restored. I am following the directions on the faq's but it seems that my touch continues to freeze up during the restoring nprocess. Itunes continues to sync, but the ipod screen remains unchanged.

  • System Crash during ERP 2005 (ECC 6.0) SR2 ABAP+JAVA installation

    Hi all,
    I am fairly new to this fascinating world of SAP BASIS and recently got hit by an issue which I faced during an ERP 2005 SR2 (ECC 6.0) ABAP+JAVA installation.
    My Installation Particulars:
    1. OS: Windows Server 2003 R2 (32-bit)
    2. DB: Oracle 10.2.0.2
    3. RAM: 2 GB
    4. Installation type: LOCAL and CENTRAL SYSTEM INSTALLATION.
    I have tried the installation thrice and each time the IMPORT ABAP step (phase 18) comes, 3 parallel IMPORT JOBS runs and after few of them completes the system restarts or crashes abruptly. So as a matter of fact, the R3LOAD which were running had to stop without getting completed, so whenever I start from old installation, the INSTALLATION MASTER throws error and I had to start a new installation. then again, during this phase the system/server/computer crashes.
    The minimum RAM requirement for this ERP installation is 3 GB, so probably 2 GB is not being able to cope up the pressure of the R3LOAD jobs...well, i am not sure of that!
    During the parameter specification, at the DATABASE EXPORT screen I have specified 3 parallel jobs. Well, the question which I have are as follows:
    1. Will I reduce the number of PARALLEL JOBS to 1 or 2, without going with the default value of 3, in order to avoid these crashes?
    2. Can I still install the SAP with 2 GB RAM?
    Please do help...

    Thanks everyone for your valuable replies.
    Well, as far as the OS is concerned, this version (ERP 2005 SR2), is compatible on 32-bit OS also. I am confirmed because I have done this installation on different machines also, prior to this installation, where my OS was 32 bit, but RAM was 4 GB. That is why, I am presuming this to be a hardware issue.
    By CRASH, I mean during that step the computer shuts down abruptly by itself.
    Well, I am starting the installation again, by specifying only 1 parallel job. Let's see if it works or not! If it doesn't then I will have to increase the RAM surely.
    Anyways, if you have anymore informations to share regarding this issue please feel free. I will soon post the UPDATE on this thread.
    Thanks and Happy New Year to all of you.
