U530 boot failed

I have a Lenovo U530 laptop that intermittently encounters a 'boot failed' error.
This has happened 6 times in a 4 month period. Each time it has occurred I have clicked
through the following 5 screens until it requested a system restart:
1. EFI Network 0 for IPv4 (08-9E-01-F5-44-D4) boot failed. [Ok]
2. EFI Network 0 for IPv6 (08-9E-01-F5-44-D4) boot failed. [Ok]
3. Default Boot Device Missing or Boot Failed.
     Insert Recovery Media and HIT any key
     Then Select 'Boot Manager' to choose a new Boot          [Ok]
     Device or to Boot Recovery Media
4. Boot Manager
     Boot Option Menu
     EFI Network 0 for IPv4 (08-9E-01-F5-44-D4) boot failed. (this line is selected)
     EFI Network 0 for IPv6 (08-9E-01-F5-44-D4) boot failed. [Ok]
     ^ and v to change option, ENTER to select an option
5. EFI Network 0 for IPv4 (08-9E-01-F5-44-D4) boot failed. [Ok]
Screen 6: No bootable device -- Please restart system
At this point I power off, then on via the power switch and it boots normally.
I am aware of the suggestions to boot from a recovery drive but that is not my problem.
I am able to successfully boot by powering off/on.
I would like to figure out what is causing this. Any suggestions on what steps to take
to diagnose this the next time it occurs?
Lenovo phone support has been of no help.
TIA
Luke

If you are not connecting to a lan at boot up try to disable "PXE boot to Lan" in the bios. Else temporarily disable it. Once booted try running in command prompt with admin rights "sfc /scannow". Do not include the quotation mark. You might also try running chkdsk to check the hdd for defects.

Hyper-V 2012 R2 new VM with ISO in DVD boot failed - default SCSI not IDE

Hi, have created some VMs fine on 2008R2 and 2012 Hyper-V but now onto 2012 R2, am using the Gen 2 VM and hitting install error when booting them from the 2012R2 RTM .ISO (downloaded straight from Technet) loaded into virtual DVD:
I see from http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/53f901e4-5bd0-4e13-80a2-bca2f57b15e9/hyperv-unable-to-boot-from-cd-or-iso-in-vm-machine?forum=winserverhyperv that Hyper-V seems unable to boot from a synthetic SCSI until guest OS actually
installed - so Catch-22! But I can't add an IDE Controller because it's not on the list:
I tried the Integration Services and it seems fine on the Settings (including ticking the only one unticked - Guest Services) although if you need to run them from the DVD, it has the same problem - you can see them loaded (or the Win2012R2 ISO) in the DVD
Media but you can't make them run through booting on SCSI!
The physical drives are SATA not SCSI but presumably no matter as Hyper-V runs SCSI virtually, but why does Hyper-V default to SCSI and how do I get the DVD to run off an IDE instead if that is the way to install a base OS from .ISO? Or is there an easier
way than all this?
TIA, Phil.

I found this article:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/jhoward/archive/2013/11/11/hyper-v-generation-2-virtual-machines-part-9.aspx
I hope this help.
"...yes, we’re acutely aware that the generation 2 EFI boot loader messages persist on the screen and it can be a little confusing. Essentially what the generation 2 virtual machine did was:
Attempt to boot from the CD SCSI device containing the Windows 8 ISO. This is where the ‘Press any key…’ message came from. As no key was pressed, we went to the next boot entry. (And this is where we didn’t clear the message from the EFI CD boot loader)
I didn’t press F12 (in fact, this VM wasn’t connected to a network), so network boot failed
The SCSI VHDX is raw with no partitioning or file system, so this too failed
So why did the generation 1 virtual machine start setup from the Windows media? The answer is simply that it’s the way Windows media is built, and it’s inconsistent between the PCAT and EFI loaders.
However, it’s relatively simple to solve if you want to avoid the press any key message. In fact, we almost have all the pieces from previous parts. In particular, part 4 where we injected keyboard drivers into the Windows 8 media.
If you loopback mount Windows 8 or 8.1 RTM media, and navigate to the \efi\microsoft\boot directory, you will see there are two versions of cdboot.efi
The default version, cdboot.efi prompts for a keypress. The unused version, cdboot_noprompt.efi doesn’t prompt.
So it’s fairly simple to create modified media which uses the noprompt version. First, copy the contents of the ISO to a working directory, rename cdboot.efi to cdboot_prompt.efi, and rename cdboot_noprompt.efi to cdboot.efi.
Do the same with efisys.bin and efisys_prompt.bin
Then re-use our oscdimg command (in an elevated deployment and imaging tools environment) from part 4 to recreate the media.

Boot Failed, Single User FSCK couldn't load, mounting Macintosh HD failed, repair and verify returns no errors, and i need to transfer my data before starting over - HELP!!!!

Lets break down the facts here: My machine is an Intel-Based iMac running Mavericks - 1TB Hitachi Hard Drive
1. Was running an initial baseline image with Time Machine when the computer froze - waited hours - nothing got better and no functions were possible (force quit, etc.)
2. Hard Reboot
3. Upon reboot, the iMac was unable to load the log-in screen. The image was a folder with a "?" on it.
4. Rebooted with option key held down and selected Macintosh HD - Boot Failed
5. Restarted and Rebooted with Command R held down
6. Ran Disk Verify and Disk Repair - returned errors round one.
7. Ran Disk Verify and Disk Repair - Returned no Errors
8. Restart - Boot failed - the "NO" symbol replaced the apple symbol
9. Reboot with Command R
10. Attempt to mount Macintosh HD
11. Mount Failed.
12. Shutdown
13. Connect Firwire to Host computer and Target Computer
14. Boot with Command T
15. TDM entered - Host Machine cannot read Target Hard Drive
16. Shutdown
17. Boot with Command S
18. Endless loop created - Multiple errors including:
     - failed to open create the journal retval 0
     - could not read 512 bytes for the journal header - Return 22
     - Errorno 19
     - hfs_mounterror return: 22
Short of springing for a software online, I have no idea what the next steps are to getting my data moved from the Macintosh HD to my external so I can just reformat and install the OS again. Any help would be greatly appreciated, this is is a serious headache and I cannot lose my data - Thats what I was backing it up for in the first place!!!!

You may not have the luxury of having another Mac but you must know someone who does. You need to boot your Mac into target disk mode. This is going to be your best bet as far as saving your files. Keep in mind that everytime you mess with this computer you are further endangering your data. Also, once your Mac is booted as a target disk, it may be possible to mount it on a windoze computer just to copy your files to another drive. I used to have one here and if i still did I would try this for you but I "offed" it in favor on running windoze (Parallels) on my MBP. But, one way or another, you need to get next to another computer.

Satellite A660 - Will not boot up and HDD boot fail

Hi,
firstly thanks for your time.
Model: Satellite A660 (PSAW3A-07U00R)
The problem started yesterday, the computer was going slow as an application closed, so I held the off button untill the pc turned off. When I restarded the laptop it went to a screen saying: Start windows normally or repair Windows (recomended)
When started normally it just hangs at a blank screen, the repair Windows recommends a system restore to earlier point which didnt work. As it just hangs again. I tried pressing F8 and starting in safe mode but again it just hangs. Then after a few times trying safe mode and another system restore the computer then hangs when I press F8. After this the computer goes past the Toshiba logo screen with F2 and F12 options (which both still work), and then it comes up boot failed then goes blank and comes with boot failed bootfailed with some numbers and letters, then it goes to a small box titled boot menu with 4 options.These are
HDD/SSD Toshiba MK6465GSX
CD/DVD MAT****ABD-CMB UJ141ES
FDD
LAN
If I press ESC it goes through the bootfailed loop and ends up at same screen, if I press enter on "HDD/SSD Toshiba MK6465GSX" then it quickly comes back to screen and at the bottom it says [HDD/SSD Toshiba MK6465GSX] is failed.
I dont understand why it got worse over time. Can anyone think of why this has happend and more importantly how can I get my pc working again? Note: holding 0 then starting does nothing for me atm
regards, Matthew

All you people looking here on this dead thread.....
Toshiba A660 laptops are renowned for having hard drive fails and boot up problems after grinding to a halt.
My solution (after losing 3 hard drives [and a terabyte of family treasured times]) is the following.
Use MALWAREBYTES (free download and use for 28 days)
Scan and fix. Mine found over 300 trojans that 2013 Norton 360 could not find.
Re-boot into safe mode.
SCAN again.
Re-boot and empty the malwarebytes repair files it retains...
Run Norton/McAfee (whichever you have) and you should still have no issues.
Make a back-up repair disc. Ooooops......no you cant...........at least my laptop can`t.
I don`t know why.....
Tell me tosh..... why does windows x64 refuse to allow me to make a system boot disc (even though the laptop is all driver updated and Windows updated)?
Uninstall MalwareBytes when Norton/McAfee tells you there will be a conflict between the two programs.
It tells you to re-boot after uninstalling it.
Then when it re-boots you get a black screen. You cannot even get to bios. You think ytour laptop is turned into a brick frisbee. You pull out the battery in frustration after five minutes.
You replace and re-boot....but again you get no bios or boot up.... you think its destroyed the Bios or graphics somehow....youo can hear the hard-drive but you have no clue whats going on..
Around this time you shake the laptop in frustration.....
Calm down.
Switch on and leave FIFTEEN MINUTES....Ten of which will be a Black nothing screen with maybe a single white underscore line in the top left corner.LEAVE IT ALONE.
Make a sunday dinner for ten people....When you go back to the computer it will be up and running.
When you re-boot again, it will be dead black for five minutes...then boots up... you still think it has a problem... LEAVE IT.
When you reboot again it should work perfect (assuming you have not been overheating it by using it on a cushion on your lap and overheating the insides [use a laptop fan tray]) if you have not shaken your hard drive or caused scrambled damage by pulling the power fifty times like some people do.
I have lost three hard drives and thousands of Gigabytes of treasured family memories discovering the secret the hard way.
Enjoy.
Buy a different brand next time.
ALL Windows system files should be on a SWITCHED (to update) version of Windows.
Spinning drives should be for Data only.

New Error - Unable to Create Any Backups (com.adobe.versioncue.boot - Failed to start com.adobe.vers

A new error just started showing up in my Vc logs: com.adobe.versioncue.boot - Failed to start com.adobe.versioncue.backup.schedule.
Since the report of this error, I am unable to create any kind of Version Cue backups. Has anyone else seen this error?
I had hoped that a simple reboot would alleviate the problem, but it didn't. The error occurs during Vc startup (boot). It's a little odd that Vc was mostly fine until I rescheduled my Windows Backup (ntbackup.exe) to run 90 minutes earlier, and failed to tell Diskeeper to also not auto-defrag 90 minutes earlier. (In other words, it's possible that Diskeeper did its thing the same time ntbackup was running.)
Running Windows XP SP3. I'm going to try a repair install of Vc in a few moments.

Update 2: ntbackup restore of System State to day before last successful Vc backup failed to correct the problem. I can't even run a manual backup.
Can anyone tell me how to determine the ClassPath used by Vc?
There is no stack trace from this error - the exception is caught and handled, so Vc continues to run after creating the single log entry posted in Msg-1 above. By knowing the ClassPath, I may be able to restore the corrupted Java JARs, if that is the root of this problem.
I'd really hate to have to (ntbackup) restore the whole computer back to last Monday...

Boot failed: solaris server does not boot

Hi All,
one of my support person who has administrator previlages tried move the contents of root to trash directory, in the middle it got hung,and he had restrted the server.
Now the solaris does not boot. It says
boot failed
Enter Filename [platform/sun4v/kernel/sparcv9/unix]
and what ever we enter there it says boot cannot read.
Please suggest some workaround, nearly 200 users are down, actually it is our licnese server.

Hi,
What you could try is the following :
Boot the system from the solaris cd into single user mode.
Find out what the disk is you need to mount and mount it under /a
After you have done this you can see if you can move back the stuff that was moved from the root directory to the trash.
If that works then you could try and boot again from the disk to see if everything works again.

Zones not booting - failed to create devlinks: Interrupted system call

I just installed the latest 10_Recommended cluster with 118833-36 kernel patch and now my zones won't boot. I get the error:

Also, running devfsadm or drvconfig;devlinks from the global zone will core dump.
Any ideas..??
tia..

First, you gotta change your prompt to something less embarrassing when you post to a public forum :)
I'd forget about the zones problem and focus on why devfsadm core dumps -- that's the core of the problem (no pun intended...no, really!).
First, review the install logs of all the patches installed during the recent service (/var/sadm/patch/*/log). Even if they all show a good completion, check the messages they generated, sometimes they have errors that aren't bad enough to cause a complete failure of the patch. The KJP (118833-36) is probably a good one to start with.
Next I'd "truss" the devfsadm command while it core dumps then get a stack trace of the core (run "adb <corefile>" and type "$C" -- that's old school, I'm sure mdb is much cooler...).
Throw some of the strings from those against sunsolve and see if something sticks.
Good luck!

Boot fail. Invalid signature

Just turned my tv and box on and it says boot fail. Invalid signature. Can anyone suggest what I do?

Switch it off and try it again. Do this a few times if this still persists then I'm afraid dead may have a dead box.
Before phoning however try this :
Factory Reset
Switch off the Vision+ box at the mains socket
Hold down the front panel OK and down arrow buttons
Switch on the power to the Vision+ box
Allow the box to start up (about 15 seconds)
Release the OK and down arrow buttons
The Vision+ box will then contact the servers to get a new copy of its firmware
This will take around 30 minutes

Is or is not "Application & Driver Recovery DVD" bootable? - SafeMode boot fails-corrupt CryptUI.dll

I'm trying to recover my daughter's Pavilion dm4-3170se. My daughter had not made a recovery disk and has no recent back-up of her data file set.
Problems (and what I have done so far) are quite parallel to what the user reported in this amazingly detailed post:
Difference is that in Safe Mode boot (command line or not), Windows boot fails on a dll, specifically CryptUI.DLL.
While amazingly detailed post user isn't getting into Windows boot, I am...for about 30 DLLs before it chokes on the corrupted one. I have tried a number of other things to get past it to no avail.
My daughter's original Recovery Disc set bought the farm when her house burned. So I ordered and got a replacement set from HP. I am loathe to use it before recovering her data files because she will lose maybe 40% of her professional work.
The delivered Recovery Disc set includes an "Application and Driver Recovery DVD". Given >20 years of Wintel machine tradition, I'm presuming it's bootable. Amazingly Detailed Post user got hers to boot from her DVD drive. But configuring the BIOS to seek the DVD drive as the first boot choice doesn't get it to boot after two tries.
Before I pour more time into this, I'd like the Collective Wisdom here.
Q1: Is this HP disc, numbered 691822-B22, meant to be bootable?
Q2a: If it is, do you imagine I can use the command line interface to copy identifed-as-bad DLL(s) to the HD?
Q2b: If it isn't, why the, er, gollygoshdarn isn't it? Must be an actual reasonable thing...
Thanks for all insights based on experience.

Hi:
Any HP application and driver DVD I have ever used is not bootable.
It should autorun from the windows desktop once windows has been reinstalled.
That is the only question I can answer of the ones you asked.
Suggestion...
Make your own W7 installation ISO from the link below.
Use that to install W7 and do not delete any partitions or format the drive.
Windows will install and create a Windows.old folder of the current operating system.
Then you can copy any files you need from the Windows.old folder after W7 is installed.
Once you are sure you got what you need, run the recovery disk set to restore the hard drive to its out of the box condition.
Link to W7 ISO files is below. Use the W7 x64 home premium file from the SP1 Media Refresh listing.
http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/14709-Windows-7-Digital-River-direct-links-Multiple-Languag...
Then use this tool to transfer the iso file onto a DVD or 4 GB USB flash drive. The tool will also make the iso file bootable.

Toshiba A665 Satellite boot failed and recover disc failed to boot

For some odd reason after my computer froze up and I restarted it I get stuck on the black screen and then it says the boot failed. I thought I could use the toshiba recover disc to fix the problem but it wont work either. I can get in the
bios screen but that is about it. Is there anything I can do?
Says the HDD/SDD not installed in bios

i had this problem
and my discs were not working either
but if you press f12 while the toshiba logo it will bring you to the boot manager and you can boot the disc drive. a messege will appear asking you to press any key to boot the cd and press "enter" then windows will load youre discs and start the toshiba reformat wizard! so i hope this works

System BOOT Fail

I'm hoping somebody can help me shed some light on this one because in my research I've come across at least one other Arch user who had similar issues.
First I'll lay out my system hardware since it seems to be a common trend for people who have this issue.
Asus P5N-D
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700
Dual nVidia 7900 GTS SLI
4 GB RAM
Anyhow, everytime I boot my system the BIOS splash screen comes up and then I hear the fans on my video cards spool up to full speed then spool back down and the BIOS splash screen disappears a second then comes back and once it's done on the splash screen I get to a screen that says "Warning System BOOT Fail. Your system last boot fail or POST interrupted." Then I can choose F1 to continue and ignore the problem or hit DEL to go to system settings.
I've done lots of googling on the problem and the most informative thing I believe I've come across is this ... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … bug/791089
I tried using their method of blacklisting nv_tco but it didn't do anything for me. So then I tried sudo rmmod nv_tco and I get a message that it doesn't even exist.
I did just run pacman -Syu and noticed there was an update to the kernel. There were some mentions of updating some nVidia stuff. However towards the end of running the update I get an error about conflicting files. "initscripts: /etc/profile.d/locale.sh exists in filesystem" I'll have to look into that one as well.
EDIT: Did a quick search on the pacman thing.... guess I missed that post in the news section. Updating now!
I'm pretty new so if there is any type of configuration files or anything I need to post up here please let me know. Thanks!

Try checking for any BIOS update by ASUS, pretty sure the problem lies with the board and not with kernel or OS. Just a wild shot by try booting with just one video card instead of the SLi setup. Lastly, does your system gives any beeps when the bios is flashing/disappearing?
I'm running the latest BIOS 1401 from the ASUSTeK website.
I did some experimenting with removing video cards testing each card individually. One card gives me absolutely nothing on the screen so it's dead. I tried the other card on its own and I still get the issue of POST fail.
No beeps from the system at all. I even installed the system speaker to see if it would give me any codes but it doesn't.
One thing I did notice is that after the first BIOS splash screen the system is completely restarting. All of the fan lighting turns off for about a second then comes back on and I get the BIOS splashscreen again.

Boot Failed. EFI SCSI Device 1. Hyper-V Windows 2012 R2 Preview

Hello,
I am new to Hyper-V. I installed Windows Server 2012 R2 Preview on a physical server and installed Hyper-V role on it.
I am trying to install Windows 2008 R2 on Hyper-V as a guest OS.
From Hyper-V manager, I created a VM and supplied 2008 R2 ISO as a boot device.
Windows 2008 R2 ISO is bootable. I have used the same ISO on VMware and it works.
I connected the VM and powered on, but OS instalaltion doesn't start.
I get error " Boot Failed. EFI SCSI Device 1." Below is th screen capture.
How to fix this problem ?
How do I go to Hyper-v VM BIOS settings ?
How do I change the boot sequence for Hyper-V VM ?
Thanks ! Jayawardhane

I was getting the same error but with WINDOWS 2012 STD Edition.
My case: I was trying to use the existing WINDOWS 2012 VHDX with Generation 2 Virtual Machine, as I wanted to make use of 'Virtual Hard Disk Sharing' feature which is only supported on SCSI Controller. But during boot, it looked for UEFI code, whereas
I had created VHDX using BIOS boot partition. So I guess, In order to use 'VHD Sharing' feature, I have to convert boot partition to GPT which supports UEFI.
If I use the Generation 1 virtual machine, and then change the VHDX Controller from IDE to SCSI from settings, I see the option 'VHD Sharing' getting enabled, but unfortunately the Generation 1 BIOS does not have support for SCSI only IDE.
