System doesn't boot anymore

I have MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R BIOS 1.20 and AMD Athlon 64 3000+. PSU is Enermax EG465P-VE, +5V: 44A, +12V: 20A, +3.3V: 38A, -5V: 2A, -12V: 1A, +5VSB: 2.2A.
After I changed the memory from TwinMOS Twister PC3200 to Twinmos PC3200 with Winbond CH5 and changed memory speed to DDR333 the system was working just fine for a couple of days.
But this morning when I woke up and tried to power it up it wouldn't boot. When I power it on all 4 D-bracket lights first turn green and they stay that way but nothing happens. The front panel LEDs for power and HDD act like the computer woul just restart itself every few seconds. The fans turn without interuption abd all the 4 D-bracket lights also never turn off. Video never comes up to see what is going on.
Thanks in advance for help!

Damn, I forgot to take a note about the memory. I'll call a friend later and ask him about it. Although I think it is not ram as the computer doesn't even beep when I remove all ram.
I also have some more info on the computer failing. Father just came home and he said that earlier in the morning he turned on the computer and then started to search and download stuff from emule and then all of a sudden computer froze. Mouse didn't move and he decided to restart it (using the restart button). On boot he said that computer started to count ram and during that it froze again. He then turned the computer off by holding the power-on button and when he tried to turn on up again there was no video and the situation is the same as now.

[SOLVED] UEFI-System doesn't start anymore after rEFInd update

Hi there,
got some problem with my UEFI system after todays update of refind-efi: Arch doesn't boot anymore
What have I done:
At first I did a
$ sudo pacman -Syu
During the update I was presented with the usual information concerning copying some files from /usr/lib/refind/*. So I did this:
$ sudo cp /usr/lib/refind/refind_x64.efi /boot/efi/EFI/refind/refind_x64.efi
Than I did:
$ sudo cp /usr/lib/refind/config/refind.conf /boot/efi/EFI/refind/refind.conf
$ sudo cp -r /usr/share/refind/icons /boot/efi/EFI/refind/icons
After that I rebooted my computer and was presented with an "Asrock" writing that doesn't change to the rEFInd-screen as it should.
Question: What can I do now? (And what did I wrong?)

Hi Rod,
thanks for your quick answer !
Ok, you write:
srs5694 wrote:
The 0.6.3 package changes the name of the rEFInd binary from refindx64.efi to refind_x64.efi. This is done because the official rEFInd release uses the latter name, and it includes support scripts that work correctly only if that name is used. Thus, if you deleted your old binary and copied the new one in place without renaming it to the old name, it would stop working, since the NVRAM entry would still point to the old name. There are two solutions:
Rename the new binary to the old name (refindx64.efi). If you do this, you'll need to keep doing it in the future or eventually do the next thing. Also, this might not work if your firmware has "helpfully" removed the existing entry. Thus, the next option is probably better...
Use efibootmgr to add a new entry for the new name. The Arch wiki has details on this here and probably elsewhere, too.
Jepp, I've seen the new name "refind_x64.efi". During my attempt to perform a proper install I did what you assume in your first solution - renaming the new binary to the old name (refindx64.efi).
After that my system didn't reboot ...
After that I booted from my USB stick with which I've installed my Arch system. I mounted my system partitions to /mnt, loaded the efivars module and arch-chrooted into the system. From there I copied the new binary from /usr/lib/refind/refind_x64.efi to /boot/efi/EFI/refind/refind_x64.efi and did this:
# efibootmgr -c -g -d /dev/sda -p 1 -w -L "rEFInd" -l '\EFI\refind\refind_x64.efi'
/boot/efi is mounted to /dev/sda1
But even after I did this a reboot only led to the well known green "Asrock" writing - no rEFInd appeared
Using the efi shell I can see that the boot entries seem to be okay.
srs5694 wrote:rEFInd 0.6.3 has a known bug that causes it to crash on some systems. Upgrading to 0.6.4 may be necessary if you're affected by this bug. The usual symptom is a system hang, though, not a return to the firmware menu, so I suspect this isn't the problem. If it is, you can grab the official non-Arch rEFInd package and copy the refind_x64.efi file from it over the one on your ESP.
Hm, seems as if I have to try this ...

Btrfs: System won't boot anymore after unclean shutdown

Hi,
I have a problem with my ArchLinux (kernel 3.19.2-1-ARCH).
I have my root partition as BTRFS and no /boot partition.
After an unclean shutdown the system won't boot anymore.
GRUB loads the kernel and the kernel starts but it hangs saying: Mounted /dev/sda3 on real root.
Then, I have to start a Live CD and do:
btrfsck /dev/sda3
After that the system boots correctly.
I've tried adding fsck to the HOOKS in the mkinitcpio.conf file and in fact it tries to fsck the filesystem (but with BTRFS, fsck.btrfs doesn't work...)
What can I do?
Thanks

I'm also having this problem. I tried booting up the netinstall image to debug it, but I can't mount my btrfs volume from there either: mount just hangs. After a while, the kernel goes:
[...] INFO: task mount:612 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
[...] Not tainted 3.19.2-1-ARCH #1
[...] "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.
[...] INFO: task btrfs-transacti:636 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
[...] Not tainted 3.19.2-1-ARCH #1
[...] "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.
From this post I guessed that I might just need to wait so that I could defrag the volume once it was mounted, but it's been hanging for over 15min now (the message above continues to come up periodically).
Like the OP in the thread I linked to above, my btrfs volume is inside an LVM volume (which is on dm-crypt). Don't know whether that's relevant.

System doesn't boot kernel26beyond

Since a week or so, my system doesn't boot, unless I press <enter> and the power button a few times during the process.
Once it has booted, everything works fine, but it is highly annoying nevertheless.
it seems to have something to do with loading my hardware.
Boot freezes after these log messages:

I am using mkinitcpio already: /boot/grub/menu.lst:
# (0) Arch Linux
title Arch Linux
root (hd0,2)
kernel /vmlinuz26beyond root=/dev/hda4 ro
initrd /kernel26beyond.img
my /etc/mkinitcpio.conf:
MODULES=""
BINARIES=""
FILES=""
HOOKS="base udev autodetect ide filesystems"
I tried removing scsi and sata, since my root is on an ide disk. But the problem persists.
also recreating an image using mkinitcpio or reinstalling the kernel26beyond package using pacman doesn't help.
Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong and how this problem might be resolved.
It seems like a trivial issue since the systems basically works fine otherwise. However, I can't figure it out by myself, I have tried for a week.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure if this will help you, but I suddenly was having a lot of trouble booting. My system would just freeze with a blinking cursor. I thought it had something to do with my floppy drive because if I changed the boot priority in my bios to boot from the hard disk 1st, the system would boot but would hang for a very long time in areas, and as long as 5 minutes loading uevents. I suspected this was a udev problem.
I issued a few commands to reset udev, thinking maybe recent updates didn't take effect, which did the trick...
# udevtrigger
# udevcontrol reload_rules
After that, everything is back to normal. I'm still learning about udev and I'm still fuzzy about a lot of the techy stuff.

System doesn't boot after time machine restore to 10.6.8

I had a mbp with 10.6.8
did time machine backup
installed yosemite
saw the app I need for work not work, new I have to go back to that backup
restart->cmd-r->restore from time machine
after this my computer doesn't boot from main disk (that says 10.6.8 now), and cmd-r doesn't work anymore on startup. option gives only the not working main drive, even with time machine plugged in.
what can I do to get my computer to start in any way?

Can you use the original install disk/or SL retail disk to start up the MBP and install Snow Leopard again?
Ciao.

[SOLVED] GRUB2 does not process hooks: System doesn't boot

My initial system was an SSD where /dev/sda1 was my boot partition and /dev/sda2 was an (encrypted) LVM containing home, root, var and swap. Since all partitions were ext3, I decided to do a clean format to ext4 and copy my data back on the partitions. First I archived everything but home with the arch live CD onto a server with:
rsync -a /mnt/* root@server:/path/to/backupdir/
Everything went fine, but after copying back, the system would not boot (it was GRUB Legacy). Since it was not in the MBR but on sda1, I figured I could upgrade to GRUB2 now. So I followed the described procedure (from a live CD) and installed GRUB2 (this time into the MBR of sda. I then regenerated the image via mkinitcpio -p linux and generated a configuration file.
When I try to start the system, GRUB2 gets loaded, but after the two messages for loading the ramdisk it remains silent for some time (no output at all) until it finally complains it cannot find my root. But I did not see any output of any hook being processed (including encrypt) so of course it cannot find my root, since it is still encrypted.
I reformatted my boot partition again and reinstalled and regenerated everything again (I copied the directory contents from my backup but moved the old grub folder). Still the same issue. I know I could probably just reinstall everything and restore the settings, but I'd really prefer to restore my system, since this should be a lot faster.
Here are the relevant configuration files:

# in this array. For instance:
# MODULES="piix ide_disk reiserfs"
MODULES=""
# BINARIES
# This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may

# This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added

# HOOKS
# This is the most important setting in this file. The HOOKS control the
# modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
# Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
# order in which HOOKS are added. Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for
# help on a given hook.
# 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
# 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules

# Examples:
## This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
## No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
# HOOKS="base"
## This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
## work as a sane default
# HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata filesystems"
## This is identical to the above, except the old ide subsystem is
## used for IDE devices instead of the new pata subsystem.
# HOOKS="base udev autodetect ide scsi sata filesystems"
## This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
## No autodetection is done.
# HOOKS="base udev pata scsi sata usb filesystems"
## This setup assembles a pata mdadm array with an encrypted root FS.
## Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H mdadm' for more information on raid devices.

Thank you for your reply. I looked further into the grub.cfg and removed the quiet part. Apparently the problem is that it runs all hooks but does not prompt me for a passphrase when running the encrypt hook. Why does this occur?
Edit: I solved this: apparently I forgot to specify a cryptdevice. Since the article about dm-crypt does not talk about GRUB2, I missed that. I will rework that section to specify GRUB2 and GRUB-Legacy

P67A GD65, OC genie 2 button in Control Center, doesn't boot anymore

My conf. (sorry I don't speak english):
i7 2600k
MSI P67A-GD65
2x2GB Kingston Hyperblu PC-1600
SSD Vertex II 160GB
Gygabyte gtx 560TI SOC
- OC Genie 2 in motherboard pressed
- Yesterday in Windows 7 x64, I clicked the OC genie button in control center, I click on no reboot, I click again on the oc genie button (to leave it as it was), no reboot. All OK. Today PC can't boot anymore: fans on, 6 phases leds on, 6 phases GTX leds on, no USB, no video...
What I can do, or did I broke the motherboard with two mouse clicks?

do >>Clear CMOS Guide<< with power cord removed
also what psu you use?

Satellite Pro 6000 doesn't boot anymore

Hi all,
I have a Satellite Pro 6000 that is quite old, but until yesterday it was working fine. Today, it won't start anymore. The indicator LEDs are on (220v:green/power:green/battery:orange) but the BIOS or OS won't start. Fan doesn't work either. The FN key seems to work - if I press it, the indicator below F11 lights up. If I press and hold the power button the power indicator LED goes off.
I've removed the battery to see if that might help, but it basically gives the save (non)result.
Is there any way to do a hard reset? Or is it curtains for this laptop?
Like to hear your thoughts on this one.
JP

Hi
Try to disconnect the AC adaptor and remove the battery a leave the notebook for a while. Wait about 20-30 min, connect all parts again and try to boot up.
If it will not work I assume the notebook hardware malfunctions Maybe its a motherboard fault (power supply electronic) or CPU.
Who knows. Without any hardware tests its not easy to find out what device malfunctions

K9N SLI System won't boot anymore

Hi!
My system was working fine until I switched it off yesterday. Usually it is switched on for quit a long time, several days or sometimes even weeks (Stuff downloading etc.) As I first built the system I had some temperature issues, but a cool big Zalman CPU Cooler and some well placed Fans in the casing solved it. For three, four months it has been working fine.
But, since it is pretty hot over here the last few weeks I decided to switch it off at night so it wouldn't produce so much heat in the room. The next day as it wouldn't switch on I noticed that the Power LED was still burning, although everything else had shut down.
Does anybody know what this could be?
I already reduced the whole thing to the bare nescessities to find a source for the problem. Regretfully it doesn't change anything. As soon as I switch the power supply on the Power LED starts to burn and nothing else happens...
Does this mean the MB is a goner??? And if so, why suddenly now, after working fine for several months? Or maybe the CPU? I don't have double parts so I can't test other components. And again: why now after functioning perfectly?
The specs:
K9N SLI (MSI 7250 V. 2.1)
AMD Athlon 64 4600+ DC
2x OEM 1GB DDR2 667 MHz
2x Winfast PX7600GT in SLI Mode
Latest available BIOS & Drivers (LIVE Update)
The last temperatures I saw were around 42 Degr.Celcius while on but idle and around 51 when active (games etc.) so I wouln't expect that to be the prob.
Thanks for any useful help!
Willem

Well, the question about the PSU made me take a good look at the thing and it turns out it is a dual rail PSU or whatever they call it. When I was looking through the forum for similar problems I noticed that a lot of you out there hate those because they more then once cause problems...
Since I didn't have any way to check the PSU I yust bought myself a relatively cheap one, single rail, with 420V and what do ya know... It now works perfectly again.
I don't know if the current temperatures have anything to do with it but maybe the heat was too much for the other one but it just caused a startup problem. Since the system had been running for a while I got stuck with the problem when I switched it off......
Anyway, I start looking for a decent PSU now. Henry, Thanks for setting me on the right track!

System doesn't boot - help!!!

Hi,
I've go an MSI K7N2 Delta L and an AMD athlon xp 2500+ chip.
Everything was working fine untill the other day. I switched my system on and it wouldn't post.
The Bracket shows LED'S 1+2 red and LED'S 3+4 Green. The manual say's it's a problem with the processor.
I've tried re-seating the chip twice but no joy. I've also tried booting with everything except CPU and RAM removed incase it was a problem with something else but the problem remains.
Before I go and buy another chip is this almost certainly the cpu that's died? or could there be any other cause?
Any help would be much appreciated!!
thanks
mark

i have the same problem, so i would like to know if it was the bios or the psu you altered to get ur comp up and running , ive tried to clear cmos and reset at j10 but no fun, and people keep saying it might be an psu problem, but i meausered my psu today ( im an elektro technician in denmark ) it gives me the voltage i need, and ive diabled all others than the hdd and graphics card so there should be no prob unless of course it`s unstable, when i boot up it gives me nothing no signal to monitor NOTHING, so pls tell em more exact what u did to get urs running again ????
im going crazy so pls help me not loose control

Black screen, system doesn't boot

I'm a first time user of a Forum.
I am attempting to boot up a newly built system: MSI 845e Max series MS_6566E mobo, P4 2.53 533fsb, PC2700 256mb DDR Ram, WD 100gb ata100 HDD, Radeon 9000Pro vid., 350w ps. All these are new including cables. CD-ROM,CD/RW,Floppy are used.
I receive a black screen during boot up, all LEDs on the front of the case are lit even the CD drives which contain no disks. The HDD starts briefly and quits. I also installed the D-Bracket with the 2 USB connects and dianostic LEDs, the top 2 flash red & green, the bottom 2 are a steady red. I've read a few threads and left the machine on for approx. 5 minutes to no avail. Any suggestions? ?(

so you loaded an os on it?
make sure the wd is jumperless if alone on an ide

After updating the system does not boot anymore!

I made an usual update with 'pacman -Syu' and since I saw a kernel update I rebooted...
After reboot the lilo menu appears, it autoselects arch after 2 seconds, it appears
boot:
loading arch........................... .................................
nothing more. No errors, no messages at all!
It is the same also using the fallback.
What happened? Can I do something or I have to reinstall arch from zero?
edit: typo
edit2: it can be related to the fact the I have /boot partition and lilo in different disks?
Last edited by ezzetabi (2007-06-03 18:31:34)

I see, so now I have to start the machine with the arch CD. Mount the drives, chroot the directory where I mounted and starting lilo should solve.
Thanks everyone.
edit: it worked! Thanks everyone.

Mac mini doesn't boot anymore

Hello all,
all of a sudden my Mac Mini (Macmini3,1) stopped booting: no chime, black screen; nothing happens. I didn't upgrade the hardware.
Now I found out that if I reset (== hold down the power switch until powers off, power on again) the mini 3 times in a row when it is "stuck" like that it boots normally the fourth time.
If I then try to restart from Mac OS X the LED flashes fast then there is a long beep (kind of like when there is a firmware upgrade)... and the mini is "stuck" again.
I was wondering if someone had a similiar issue, or if maybe someone had an idea how to fix this.
Thanks in advance.

"For Intel-based Apple computers shipping with Mac OS X v10.5.5 or later, Apple Hardware Test is located on the Applications Install Disc 2 and should be included with your computer."
Following these instructions on http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509 I booted with the second DVD and pressed "D". Nothing happened. I then tried booting from the first DVD with "C" and getting all bootable volumes by pressing Option but all my attempts failed.
I guess it is related to my problem.

Satellite M100 - After BIOS update it doesn't boot anymore

Hey everybody :)
BIOS problem: I was updating *BIOS* by WinFlash and my laptop "freezed" so BIOS is DAMAGED. Laptop does't boot up.
I was updating my XP laptop to *BIOS 3.00* version.
How to repare BIOS?

Hey mate,
I agree with Akuma and I think in this case you can do nothing. If the notebook froze during BIOS update I think the ROM module is now destroyed and must be reflashed or exchanged. In this case only an ASP can help you.
On the Toshiba website you can find a list of ASPs and you should contact the nearest one. Speak with the technicians and they will try to help you.
Good luck! :)

Can´t enter bios setup/system does not boot

Hi,
I got a problem with my new KT6 Delta MS-6590 board.
Sometimes after a prog is crashed and its better to restart windows, my System doesn´t boot anymore. It hangs after searching RAID-Disks. The Broadcom Dialog does not appear and the System stands. When I try to reset and would like to get into the bios setup I can´t enter it. The Delete Key do not work. After clearing cmos and going on with default values the systems works correctly until the next crash.
The bracket says "Boot attempt"
Whats the problem please help ?(

Read "KT6-LSR and installing Windows on SATA" post (At this moment is the last in this page). There you'll find many posts about Raid problems. 8)
