System pauses on boot, during modules loading..
My system boots normally until I get to the "Loading Modules" stage, then it just sits there until I press "Enter". Then, it continues to boot.
Here is my MODULES=() line from rc.conf:
MODULES=(powernow-k8 forcedeth !ath_hal !ath_pci !wlan snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm-oss snd-hwdep snd-page-alloc snd-pcm snd-timer snd snd-hda-intel soundcore !vboxdrv !fuse !loop)
I've disabled my wifi, VirtualBox kernel module, and the supporting modules for TrueCrypt, trying to find which was causing the hang. It's still doing it, and I don't know enough about the rest of them to start toggling them off.
Any ideas?
My modules are:
MODULES=(forcedeth slhc rt2x00lib rt2x00usb rt73usb snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm-oss snd-seq-oss snd-seq-device snd-seq-midi-event snd-seq snd-hwdep snd-page-alloc snd-pcm snd-rawmidi snd-timer snd snd-hda-intel soundcore snd-usb-audio snd-usb-lib vboxdrv fuse)
and everything is fine... The only left candidate would be powernow-k8... What about disabling that one?

System does not boot during Hyper V installation
Hi -
I was trying to install Hyper V on my Windows 8.1 professional edition, 64 bit OS. The installation was through ISO downloaded through MSDN. During installation I had to hard boot my system through switch off. Now my system does not boot correctly and during
boot it flashes a message "The last windows installation did not complete please install the setup". Does this mean that my existing 8.1 OS has crashed ? how can i come out of this and recover my data ?
My hardware configuration is :
i7 processor, 16GB RAM, intel graphics Card, windows 8.1 professional 64 bit OS.Hi RahuIM,
You can try to enter safe mode then copy your personal data to the data volume then reinstall the system.

Boot-time module-loading trouble
Recently, I've noticed a fair bit of documentation discouraging the use of /etc/modules-load.d/ , as most modules are auto-loaded by udev. While that's true, I'm still seeing some need to force-load some modules that surprises me, and I was wondering if others see these problems as well.
- "alsactl restore" is sometimes run (from alsactl-restore.service) before my sound drivers are loaded, causing it to fail with 'load_state:1696: No soundcards found...'
- netcfg tries to start my network before my ethernet driver is loaded, causing it to fail with 'Cannot find device "eth0"'
I've worked around these race conditions by listing these modules in /etc/modules-load.d/ , which makes them load earlier than udev would do it, making me win the race. It doesn't feel like a good answer, though.
- udev doesn't autoload powernow-k8 for me, which is surprising since CPU autoscaling driver are supposed to be autoloaded since kernel 3.465kid wrote:

no, rc.local{,.shutdown} should not be used anymore.
btw, there is also a udev rule for "alsactl restore" ( /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/90-alsa-restore.rules ). That makes me wonder why there even is a service file for this as well.
Are the alsa settings actually not restored or are they restored by the udev rule and it is just the service that is failing?
A good question. I never noticed that udev rule, and I never checked if the settings were right after I saw the service fail - I always just restored manually before using the sound. -
System boot occasionally hangs at module loading
Since I installed Arch, about 43% of the time that I have attempted to boot my computer the boot process hangs at module loading. I assumed that the problem may have been that I was autoloading my modules. I tried turning autoloading off and manually loading them instead but that did not help. Then (as a shot in the dark) I tried having autoloading on, with my modules still defined in rc.conf, but that only made things worse (understandably, I did not think that this would help, but I figured that it couldn't hurt to try).
Here is my /etc/rc.conf

Last edited by nothinggoespast (2010-06-28 00:47:01)I have the same problem on my thinkpad T500 after I upgrade the wireless card (intel wifi link 5300).
For a long time I didn't understand the why of this behavior, but some weeks ago I realise that the problem can solve it hard-locking the wireless card and unlocking after the step: "loading modules".
For more information this is the complete thread on thinkpad forum that I wrote when I try to solve this issue: http://lnv.lithium.com/t5/T400-T500-and … 870#M26238

[SOLVED]3.18.5-1-ARCH + system-modules-load.service on Macbook Pro 9,2
After upgrading from 3.18.4-1-ARCH to 3.18.5-1-ARCH this weekend, my systemd service system-modules-load fails during bootup. I checked out
# systemctl status system-modules-load
and found nothing but a warning that my journal has been rotated and the log output is incomplete. I have not hunted down the log or rooted through dmesg as of yet - I need my system functional while working during the week, so I downgraded my kernel back to 3.18.4 for now (under which system-modules-load loads fine). I will reinstall 3.18.5 next weekend and see if I can locate the problem - this post is just a feeler to see if anyone else is encountering this problem with the latest kernel.
Last edited by Olorin (2015-02-06 03:08:31)Yep. It was my own fault. I had been using the b43 driver for my BCM4331 wifi card, and recently switched to broadcom-wl. However, I still was trying to load b43 in /etc/modules-load even though I had removed the driver and module from my system. Not sure why my system only started complaining in 3.18.5, but in any case removing the offending .conf file solved the problem. Thanks, graysky.

How can i modify my modules loaded and daemons to lower some boot time.
And why is that bluetooth is still loaded even if it's !bluetooth? And is it possible to background ntfs-3g?
Thanks all for advices!Please clarify what you mean. If the bluetooth service is started, then there is a bug or something very very odd. IF on the contrary you mean that the bluetooth-related modules are loaded by udev, this is perfectly normal: udev autoloads modules according to your hardware, not to your services. You need to blacklist the loaded bluetooth-related kernel modules (check them with 'lsmod') and to blacklist them in the MODULES array.

System pauses during the drainOverflow() method
Hello,
We are running into a condition that causes our system to pause when we increase the load. We have a 2 machine cluster sharing a replicated cache. When we increase our load to around 25 "puts" per second on each machine the system will pause after around 2 minutes. If we stop pumping data the system recovers. The size of the object we are caching is small (approximately 245 bytes).
We took a thread dump during one of the pauses and it looks like it is caused by the following:
"Cron Daemon Pool1" prio=1 tid=0x0000002b2db4f300 nid=0x1ae0 waiting on condition [0x0000000041263000..0x0000000041263c30]

This method goes into a sleep and it holds a lock that is causing our other threads to wait.
Has anyone seen this behavior before or does anyone have more information on how to prevent this method from going to sleep()?

Java Version 1.5.0_15
OS: Linux Version 2.6.9-67.0.15.ELsmp on the amd64 platform
Thanks,
PaulPatrick,
Thanks for your help.
For anyone who is interested in the resolution....
The purpose of drainOverflow is to throttle threads that are adding data to the cache when the event dispatch queue is backed up (by default this limit is set to 1024 events.) This is meant to prevent OutOfMemoryErrors due to the
queue growing unbounded.
We have a thread that is writing to the cache and it is holding a lock on an internal hashtable. We also have a listener thread that is our coherence event listener. At certain points in our listener thread we are trying to obtain a lock on the same internal hashtable. This introduced a deadlock because drainOverflow() is waiting for the event queue to drain but our event listener is waiting on a lock held by the drainOverflow() thread. -

Safari causes system freeze during page load
Description:
I've been trying to figure this one out for a while now (about 2 weeks), without any luck. I've tried reading a couple of threads describing similar problems, but it looks like I've got something else going on here seeing as it affect the entire system. I appreciate any suggestion!
When a window in Safari is open and you're loading a page, it sometimes (almost always) causes a system freeze. Any action performed on any input device within OSX while a page is loading gets delayed by 5-20 seconds. Anything from right-clicking, to opening a new tab in Safari, to navigating to a new folder in Finder.... literally anything. The actual loading of the page is also affected by this. So when I click a link, the page becomes white and the system stalls. After X seconds, the system resumes and the page is displayed fully loaded. Once the page is loaded, everything is back to normal. I can just leave the Safari-window open without anything happening. It's just during the loading of a page.
Using the mouse to move and switch between open windows are the only actions I seem to be able to perform during the system freeze.
When it doesn't cause a system-wide freeze, it will still take forever for any page to load. Which isn't a problem in any other browser and I've never had any speed issues in general on any device.
What I know for sure is that I can solve the problem by closing all open Safari-tabs and windows or closing the app completely, and use Chrome instead. But I do like Safari, so I hope there's another way to fix this.
I should also note that I've made no changes to the system for many weeks now, other than installing whatever updates might have been available on the App Store.
What I've tried within Safari:
- program restart
- reset settings (every option checked)
- disable and remove extensions (only had one installed, LiveReload for Adobe Brackets)
- empty cache
- delete cookies
What I've tried within OSX:
- system restart
- complete OSX-recovery
- activity monitor (CPU, HDD and RAM always within normal values during all of this)
- checked HDD (successfull)
- checked internet-connection (got 50Mbit/s connection, no speed issues, checked on multiple devices)
- tried other browsers (Chrome (OSX) and IE (Win 7, Parallels) both run smoothly)
- turned off IPv6 in terminal (based on a suggestion here at the forums)
- disabled iCloud-sync
- disabled Dropbox
- probably a couple of other things i can't remember right nowSo... I finally fixed it.
In addition to the things I mentioned I tried, I also checked if it could be malware-related. It wasnt. I then checked if it was just affecting my user-account or OSX globally. I created a new account and Safari ran perfectly. I therefore assumed it had to be something in my library-folder.
I deleted just about any mention of Safari in the Library-folder (the visible one) and just to be absolutely sure, I deleted the Contents-folder inside Safari.app in the Applications-folder. I then downloaded and installed Safari 7.0.3. Everything runs smooth now. -
CSA - Ignoring modules loading after system startup
I'm currently running CSA 5.2 r238 with all systems in Test Mode. I keep seeing events for certain modules loading after startup, such as pdcrypt2.sys in a Citrix environment. I know these events are normal and don't care to have those events logged any more.
The events are being generated by Rule 50, a Kernel Protection rule with a monitor action in System Hardening Module [V5.2 r238]. I've copied this rule to a custom rule module and set it to priority allow and did not check the Log option.
I created a file set for pdcrypt2.sys as follows:
Directories Matching: **\Program Files\Citrix\system32\drivers but not <none>
Files matching: pdcrypt2.sys but not <none>
I'm still seeing events generated by rule 50. I know my rule is enforced by looking at an affected host and my rule appears to process beore Rule 50. Why am I still seeing events generated by rule 50?Tom,
I'm just baffled. I changed my file set, AAA - Citrix pdcrypt2.sys, to look like yours does.
Directories matching: but not:
Files matching: but not: pdcrypt2.sys
The change history for rule 50, which I based my rule off of, is blank.
The rule basically reads likes this:
Priority Allow
Take Precedence
Modules load after system startup is checked
File set contains: $AAA - Citrix pdcrypt2.sys
Based on my understanding of the rules and the previous posts in this thread it would seem that logging for these events should be suppressed, but that is obviously not the case. Does your modified file set exist in rule 50 (or the corresponding rule in another version) or did you clone rule 50 to create your suppression filter rule?

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. -
[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:

# vim:set ft=sh
# MODULES
# The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
# run. Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
# in this array. For instance:
# MODULES="piix ide_disk reiserfs"
MODULES=""
# BINARIES
# This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may
# wish into the CPIO image. This is run first, so it may be used to
# override the actual binaries used in a given hook.
# (Existing files are NOT overwritten if already added)
# BINARIES are dependency parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries

# FILES
# This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
# as-is and are not parsed in any way. This is useful for config files.
# Some users may wish to include modprobe.conf for custom module options
# like so:
# FILES="/etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf"
FILES=""
# 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
# 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in 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.
# HOOKS="base udev pata mdadm encrypt filesystems"

Last edited by javex (2012-08-10 18:33:41)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

Hello all. System will not boot and before I go spending more money on pointless items, I was hoping to get some feedback, please.
Here are current specs on system:
MSI K8T Neo2 FIR - AMI BIOS 9.4 Athlon 64 X2 4600+ PIB
Antec NeoPower 480 +5V/38A +12V1/18A +12V2/15A +3.3V/30A
Kingston Value Ram 2x512 Matched Pair DDR400
CD-R/RW & DVD+RW WD 250g IDE
BFG 7800GS OC Sony SDM-HS94P 19" LCD
Audigy 2 XP Pro
The upgrades on this system include the X2 and the graphics card. I know, I know, the power supply may very well be the issue, but please let me detail what's happened and if everyone still thinks the PSU is it, I'll go for a new one.
Everything ran fine for at least a month. Most resource hungry app I run is probably EQII. Towards the end of last week I had a couple of complete crashes during game play and then on Saturday morning the system failed to boot. I do have power as the case fans, CPU fan and GPU fan and various lights do go on. It seemed like a hard drive failure to me, so I got a new one (Best Buy! OUCH! the price we pay if we want it that day) and it started up great. I got windows loaded on the new drive, updated everything and was playing and working fine. This was Saturday night and Sunday morning. Sunday afternoon...not happening. I'm back to a blank screen and lots of fans whirring and a few lights flashing but nothing else. So, my questions:
1. Is it possible that I somehow blew a second hard drive?
2. Was it not the hard drive at all but something else?
3. Will a new PSU solve the problem and will my original hard drive still work?
4. Did Amelia Earhardt get abducted by aliens?
Thank you for your time and patience.
MEMHans;
Thank you for the reply. Say hiya to Amelia for me. Does this mean you're an alien?
Ok, I tried using bootable CD and no go.
I don't really have a simpler graphics card around to try that. So that test may not happen.
I can try with one dimm when I get home (I'm at work atm.)
I also thought about putting the drive into another system and will try that also later today or tomorrow morning.
D-Bracket: I will have to watch that again. It really didn't make sense to me as the lights went through a lot of the steps then came to a halt at what I think was BIOS Sign on. Someone did suggest to me that I might have a virus, which may be why the second hard drive failed eventually. But I'm not sure about that and not sure what can be done about that unless clearing CMOS would take care of it.
So, any new thoughts?

After upgrade System fail to boot
Hi,
few days ago I did the system upgrade and after reboot i get several errors and the system doesn't boot, the first one in the list is:
FATAL could not load "/lib/modules/3.0-ARCH/modules.dep" no such file or directory
I think the problem is that in my /lib/modules/ dir there is no /3.0-ARCH dir but there is the 3.1.4.1-ARCH and the 3.1 extramodules.
why that? Is this problem coming from the upgrade?
also the network is not recognized
and the RAID disks are not mounted
the only thing I found on internet is this article:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=129970
but I cannot downgrade because the pkg dir is empty and I cannot connect to internet for get it
can you please help me?
thanksI found something maybe useful...
in the dmesg I found that the boot disk is loaded as sdc but, I'm sure it was sda before the upgrade.
in the menu.lst there is
- title Arch lunix [/boot/vmlinuz.linux]
- root (hd0,0)
- kernel /vmlinuz-linuz root=/dev/sda3 ro
- initrd /initramfs-linux.img
do you think that changing something in this I can have back my boot partition?
