Toshiba CB30 Chromebook won't boot a custom kernel.

I've had Arch running on my Chromebook for a while now, but I haven't been able to figure this out.
It runs fine with the standard kernel. The problem is, when I install any custom kernel it won't boot. I've tried both linux-ck and linux-chromebook and I get the same error, so it's not a problem with the kernel.
This is the error I get
I've tried re-making and re-making the GRUB config, so I don't think it's a GRUB problem.
Any ideas?

Two ways of reaching the data if your hard drive is still alive, Sue.
(1) Download a free CD that boots to another operating systems or to a preinstall environment and copy important files to external media. A popular bootable disc is Ubuntu. There's also KNOPPIX, Bart's, UBCD4Win, SystemRescueCd, and others.
(2) Remove the hard drive, mount it in an external enclosure, and access it from another computer. To remove the hard drive, see the first two steps here.

Toshiba Satellite P200 - won't boot up. I'm scared of losing my files!

Hello. When I turn my computer on, it won't boot up. This appears on the screen:
WINDOWS BOOT MANAGER
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
1. Insert your windows installation disc and restart your computer.
2. Choose your language settings, and then click ‘next’.

I don't have the installation disc and don't want to restore to the factory settings as I will lose everything on my computer. Is there a way of getting it to the last recovery point? I haven't tried anything yet.
Thank you!

Booting with custom kernel crashes after update

Hello,
I have a custom 2.6.33 kernel compiled and installed without the use of abs on my system. Some time ago when on one of my updates pacman complained that it cannot install arc's 2.6.33, because the name of the folder it needed for the kernel in /lib/modules already existed(from my kernel). I simply backed mine somewhere else, and then updated with pacman, and overwrote the new folder with the backed one. However, after today's update, my custom kernel won't boot! I noticed that pacman intends to do kernel changes again, so I readied myself for repeating the sequence of actions from the last time, but now pacman did the update without complaining. However, on my next reboot I got a "scsi_mod: module already loaded" error, and boot hanged. After a second try, the error didn't seem to even show up again, but boot would still hang(with a long text ending in "---[ end trace 8336ecf974ba482a]---"). I checked my bzImage, the grub menu file, and there aren't any changes. Any help please?

fsckd: the folders 2.6.27-lts, 2.6.32-ARCH, 2.6.33-ARCH, and the pacman-installed folder I turned to backup 2.6.33-ARCH_back2;
Anyway, I fell back to the 2.6.32 kernel temporary, so this isn't really an urgent matter, but I am still curious what caused this. Oh and karol, I don't believe this is caused by kernel crash, as loading the kernel finishes and then I get the error some time after starting udev and before the services from rc.d(sorry for the misleading topic subject, I corrected it).

Toshiba Tecra A8 won't boot

My Toshiba A8 PTA83A-04F012 notebook will not boot. When I boot the machine, I get the normal Toshiba splash screen then the screen goes blanks with a blinking cursor in the upper left hand corner. Apart from the CPU fan kicking in, nothing else happens. I've tried to boot from an alternative devices (eg CD-ROM) but the same thing happens. I’ve even tried to get into the bios (setup) but it ignores my request. The keyboard seems to function normally. Please help. Tony

Sounds like it could be ram, try it with only one ram strip at a time, also did you install any software recently that could be not working correctly? Does it work in safe mode? Also in the bios see if the computer is reading the hard drive correctly, or maybe you changed a setting in the bios and need to use the default setings Detailed specs if you need them from toshiba http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=SB&os=&category=&moid=160275...
sorry for all the questions, I want your machine to work

Toshiba A350 sometimes won't boot properly

I notice there are number of problems similar to this but no one has a fix.
Problem:
1) *Sometimes* when I boot my laptop the power light comes on but the screen stays black. Doesn't go any further.
2) *Sometimes* when I boot my laptop it boots to the Windows start up screen but with thin rainbow coloured lines on the screen (occasionally you can make out the background Windows start up screen). Doesn't go any further.
3) Most of the time it boots and it works perfectly. No crashes or screen problems.
After holding the power button down for a few seconds during 1) and 2) to "shut down" after a few attempts booting it will boot properly.
So far I've flashed the BIOS to the latest version and changed Processor Power Management to 100% under power options (advice from a link on Google). Neither have helped.
Any ideas on this problem? It seems quite specific to start up as it works well otherwise. Very annoying having to try multiple times to boot.
Specifications:
Toshiba A350 (approx. 1 year old, out of warranty)
Windows 7 Pro x64 (upgrade from Vista)
Intel Core 2 Duo P7450 2.13Ghz
4GB DDR2
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650 (512MB discrete video memory)
Thanks.

I have exactly the same problem
(Problem:
*Sometimes* when I boot my laptop the power light comes on but the screen stays black. Doesn't go any further.)
My laptop only doesn't start on battery only. The power light comes on and the stays on with the laptop in a freeze (nothing displayed on screen). The only way to get this light off is to remove battery.
Starts EVERY time with the AC power connected (with or without battery).
Works perfectly normal once booted
SOMETIMES starts with the battery only if I boot soon after I have already been using the laptop
I have tried the static release processes but doesn't work.
After having this trouble I updated to latest BIOS but has not helped
Tried a different battery and has not helped

Toshiba L505D S6947 Won't Boot

I can get it to the screen where the curser just blinks and we don't get past that. Can anyone help me out. The curser is blinking but nothing past that. I have tried holding 0 and got nowhere. Tried doing F2 and F12 got no where. Is my toshiba junk or what am I to do? Any ideas.

Try this. Turn off your laptop, unplug all wires, remove the battery, and hold the power button for thirty seconds. Afterwards, reattach the battery and connections.
Also, when you tried the 0-key method, you continued to hold the '0' key down after pressing the power button, right? It needs to be held down until the recovery utility loads (if you've held it for 30 seconds and still not seen anything different, it does indeed sound like there's a problem).

Toshiba Satellite L675 won't boot (asks for boot device)

Recently my laptop has been acting kinda weird,all i did was drag a shortcut to the recycle bin and the pc locked up, after a few seconds the screen went black, then i got a blue screen.
On rebooting, this is what I was looking at.
I assumed the HD had died as it was making a wierd repetative clicking when I tried to reboot.
I checked the bios and it said no HD was present, so I reset and chose the boot menu (F12) selected the drive and it booted ok.
All seemed to be running fine then it did exactly the same thing when I was playing a video. but again after selecting the drive from the boot menu the system boots and runs fine.
I ran a disk check, there were no errors reported, then ran a smart check .
Looks like the crashes fried a couple of sectors.
Anyone had experience of this problem ? the network card info on the boot screen after the crash is pretty strange.
I'm running Win 7 Ultimate 64, and the laptop is a reconditioned one. Apart from these 2 random crashes, everything is fine.
I've attached the minidump to the post.
EDIT: I should mention, both the crashes happened while I was connected via wifi in my local bar.

No. That's to be expected. Your drive is clearly failing.
When the BIOS can't find anything else to boot from, it tries to boot from a network. It's reporting that it can't find the network.

Powerbook won't Boot--It will Kernel Panic and Freeze Though

I'm trouble shooting a 17" Powerbook G4 1.33. When I received it, there was no hard drive, it would boot to a flashing "?". I installed a brand new 160 GB ATA drive and attempted to install 10.4. The installation went smooth and fairly quickly but when it restarted it would either KP or freeze on every attempt. It will advance past the gray Apple and spinning gear, past the blue screen, and get to the small window where OSX is loading. Once there, the bar would advance anywhere from hardly anything to maybe an 8th of the way before KP-ing.
I thought the installation may have been bad so I attempted to reinstall 10.4. I tried to boot from the disc but would get a KP at the gray Apple screen, sometimes it would get to the "choose your language" box but then mess up. I ended up having to connect the Powerbook to my G5 and erase the hard drive via Firewire and TDM. After it was erased, I thought maybe the 10.4 disc was bad, so I attempted to install a brand new copy of 10.5 Leopard. Again installation went smooth until the restart. Now it will get as far as playing the Welcome movie/graphic introduction for anywhere from 2-7 seconds and then lock up-not a KP. After this I attempted to boot from both the 10.4 and 10.5 disc and it will KP on every attempt.
Could the hard drive, although brand new, be bad? It was formatted and the OS sees it every time it gets that far into the installation. When in TDM it reported the full amount and was easily seen that way as well. FSCK reported the volume was ok. I tried swapping RAM with my sisters iBook G4 with no luck either. I removed the Airport card, thried booting in Safe Mode, zapped PRAM, reset NVRAM---nothing helps. The only time the hard drive seems to function is when it's completely erased. Once the computer tries to access it, it locks up.
Sorry about the long post. I wanted to be thorough.

A quick update. I removed the battery, RAM, top case, and then the Superdrive. I then put the top case back on, disconnected the Airport card, and installed only one of the RAM sticks. I tried powering up and it actually booted. The furthest I've seen it go was about a quarter of the OSX loading bar. This time it loaded the OS and got to Finder where I was actually able to play around with it until I shut it down. Now I have to figure out what was causing the trouble. I'm leaning toward the Superdrive but it could also be the RAM, Airport card, top case cable....Anyway thanks again for all the help. I'll update later on.

Thinkpad L520 won't boot without nox2apic kernel parameter

I can't boot using any of the stock arch kernels since 3.2.0 unless I disable x2apic. There's a bug report at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43054, apparently it's affecting other thinkpads as well.
If anyone else is having problems, try adding nox2apic to your kernel command line or compiling a kernel without CONFIG_X86_X2APIC. And be aware that installing arch using the net install iso will require using this parameter or ignoring the linux package when downloading/installing packages.
Booting without disabling x2apic was completely locking up @ the line:
"ACPI: EC: Look up EC in DSDT"

Interesting. No issues here with a T410.

System won't boot - stuck after kernel timezone

Hello all,
I am new to Arch linux and I have finally decided to install it today. I think the installation process went well, I had to change a few things with grub and managed to get it to work...but....
The booting process gets interrupted right after the line that says:
:: Adjusting system time and setting kernel timezone [DONE]
Then, I see my hdd light blink for a couple of seconds and after that, it just hangs there forever.
Now, I am kind of wondering what the next step in the boot process is so I can have clues as to what is failing, any thoughts?
Thank you
Francois

I have no suggestions, but what comes next is:

MacBook won't boot. Receive Kernel Error. How do I get it to work again?

Randomly yesterday received pinwheel while using. Tried to restart but got stuck on grey apple scenery and would not go any further. I turned it off and plugged it to power source and left it over night. Turned on fine in morning. I plugged a flash drive in to USB and got pin wheel for several minutes. Had to restart and when I did I go the grey screen again, this time with the kernel error stating I had to restart my computer. It had happened every time I restarted since. Help. I have many files that are not backed up.

I've no idea what happened - but it sounds as if plugging in the phone has fried the logic board. The best thing that I can recommend is that you take the machine to your local Apple Store/AASP and have them diagnose the problem.
At this point, there's simply nothing else that you can attempt.
Sorry,

Toshiba Satellite Laptop -- Won't power on or boot..

I can't get my Toshiba Satellite L305D-S5881 (model #: PSLC8U-00D010) to power up or boot. It is plugged in and the power light is on. I've tried re-seating the memory, hard drive and battery. I've also tried plugging in a monitor to see if it was the display. So far, no luck.
Any suggestions? Do these symptoms sound like the power supply, hard drive or mother board?
Thanks.

It still won't boot so I bought a different computer. The funny part is my A45-S150 is 8 years old and works very well and runs with a Linux Opsys.

Pavilion p6-2185ef - PC won't boot when upgrading graphic card

Hello,
I recently tried to upgrade my graphic card to a 760GTX (I also upgraded the power supply)
When I try to boot my computer with the new graphic card (all powered up including those pci express slots), everything is going OK, until the boot get stuck to the screen where I can press escape to access the bios.
And from there, I can't do anything. The PC won't boot any further, and I can't even access the BIOS when pressing escape (which usually works).
Since I don't reach the OS booting part, I don't think this comes from windows.
I tried to disable the PCI security in the BIOS, but then it seems that the displays is switch to the motherboard (even when I use the former graphic card (which still works fine)
I tried to upgrade the BIOS, it changed nothing.
I'm welcome to any suggestions on how to solve this issue.

Hi,
The NVIDIA GTX 760 will not work in a PC with a version 7 BIOS.
