Upgrade to K7N2 - Win2K cannot find bootable device

I just tried upgrading my system to a K7N2. When Win2K loads (during the white logo'ed screen with the progress bar) it gives a BSOD with something like "Cannot find bootable device" (I forget the exact phrase). I've had to swap back to my previous MB and Win2K is fine so the disk isn't corrupt which was my first worry.
If I booted to DOS via floppy, all FAT32 partitions were readable. If I booted using the Win2K floppies, all NTFS partitions looked fine.
I beleive I have the HDD Access mode set correctly - it was set to LRG on my old system. (If I set it to anything else, it will just hang before Win2k loads).
I guess (or rather hope) its a BIOS setting that's wrong, but I can't figure out which.
This has got me stumped. Any clues/suggestions would be gratefully received.
K7N2
AthlonXP 2100+
512MB PC2700
IBM 46GB HDD (IBM-DTLA-307045)
GeForce 4200Ti

Uninstall the IDE controllers in the system device managers page..............reboot and install M$ reference ide contollers check them and see if that is so.....if not then you will have to manually install them...........save and exit........place the hddrive back on the other mb and see if that will get you into widows.......from there you can update the ide controllers from the MSI cd.....
If all else fails boot the system to the windows cd and do a windows repair of the systems HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer)
skip the ASR and go to repair................ navigate to the c:windows> prompt, and type..............(example here e: is the cdrom drive where the windows cd is loaded and c: is the drive you have windows running on.)
copy e:i386hal.dl_ c:windowssystem32

Dick,
You should be looking in the Mavericks forum, Maps is integrated into Mavericks so you will probably find some clues there. Also here is an article you may find useful:

[SOLVED] cannot find root device after pacman -Syu

Today I had a problem after pacman -Syu. Of course, my problem stemmed from not paying attention to the following (from https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57205):
<b>Read pacman's output while upgrading.</b>
I could no longer boot. I received a message "cannot find root device" or something similar indicating a device with the appropriate UUID had not been found and I was being dropped into a recovery shell, then, when I typed exit, an emergency shell, followed shortly by a freeze.
After some investigation it appeared my initramfs was broken/non-existent/something after the install. I booted into a live CD and found that updating pacman again, and mkinitcpio -p linux both displayed the following error: "Failed to create temporary working directory in /tmp". Long story short: mktemp was segfaulting. This should be extremely easy to check if you're having a similar problem. I replaced it with the version on the live CD and ran the pacman update again. Success. If you do this, you may need to make sure your live cd architecture and installed kernel architecture are the same.
I'm not sure of the etiquette here, so I'm posting this in case someone else has the same problem I did; and benefits from a similar solution. I have checked the etiquette post and I don't think it's clear whether it's kosher to post things that don't actually require a solution. However, if I have misinterpreted the rules/etiquette and/or this type of post is considered extraneous please remove it.

You have to use lvm first. As all those vg*, lv*, and pv* commands are actually links to the lvm command, you should have to do something like "lvm vgscan" instead of just "vgscan".
Edit: oh and at that point in the boot process, you are actually in the initramfs still (ash to be specific).
Edit2: I was having issues with a USB keyboard and a new machine (actually just a new bios), and found out that because of windows 8's requriement for a fast POST, the default is to turn off the scanning for usb devices. Though this was for UEFI, and I am not sure if the same would apply for a bios booting machine...

Repartitioned now unable to find bootable device

I recently attempted to set up bootcamp on my late 2012 mac mini. I backed up my system using time machine and did the re-partition step. At some point during the repartition the screen went black and the cursor started blinking in the upper left corner of the screen. I waited nearly an hour before I tried restarting and I got the message "unable to find bootable device. I've tried restarting while holding the option button and I still end up in the same place. How do I recover my initial install? I have a superdrive and a bootable usb but it doesn't look at either device.

Cannot find boot device, cannot continue.

Im trying to install arch linux on my eeepc but im running into problems, i choose arch linux from the installer menu and then as it goes on it suddenly stops saying 'Cannot find boot device, cannot continue... Falling back to interactive prompt' and im pretty sure thats not meant to happen so what do i do?

I am getting this error as well using the archlinux-2009.02-core 64 bit iso image.
Same exact error
Something about a searching for SCSI sda device
Scanning boot...

Scannng USB...
'Cannot find boot device, cannot continue... Falling back to interactive prompt'
then I get a $ prompt, and cannot use keyboard, I have to manually push the power button to restart.
I'm booting from a Sansa Clip 4gb

I have an iPhone 4S that is locked with a password & cant remember password. when I connect to my computer it says that it cannot find the device driver. How can i fix this?

Hello jlb1977,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
Best of luck,
Mario

Random cannot find root device at boot

Every so often when I boot my arch install I get the error saying that it cannot find my root device. After a reboot sometimes everything is fine other times it will will repeat. It seems to be about a 40-60 chance that the error will occur. This same issue is also happening with a co-worker. I began to notice this issue when I upgraded my laptop with an SSD which my co-worker also has. I am beginning to wonder if it is related to the SSD because I have not had this issue until then. Anyone have any ideas?

Welcome to the Arch Linux forums.
In order to get proper support for your issues, you need to be much more explicit about your problems. An inability to find the root device can be caused by all kinds of things. So simply saying that you switched to an SSD and started to experience these problems is really not anything to go on. You need to also give a description of how your system is actually set up. That is, how is it partitioned? Is it the only OS on the machine? Do you use LVM, mdadm, Luks/dm-crypt, btrfs, etc?
These forums are quite active and there are all kinds of people here who are willing to help. But you have to help us help you. We cannot see your machine, and the very nature of Arch Linux brings about vast differences in how each individual machine is configured.

After upgrade to JHS Production: cannot find two standard java Classes

Hi, First: congratulations on the Production release. Great that it is there.
After making several backups, I have upgraded to JHS build 91 Production release (I came from JHS build 78).
1. after upgrade to JHS Production, I tested my application first (so before re-enabling Jheadstart on the ViewController and regenerating pages). The application still worked fine
2. I re-enabled JHeadstart on the VC project
3. I opened my Applictation Definition Files and saved them (I noticed a deprecated property OverwriteUiModel that disappeared after saving)
4. I ran the generator on my three App. Def. Files.
5. I rebuild the whole application
6. I ran the application, the first (Table-style) page comes up fine
7. But when clicking on one of the records in the Table to navigate to the Form page...the Embedded OC4J exits with a fatal error:
Fatal error: Cannot find class java/lang/StackOverflowError
Fatal error: Cannot find class java/lang/NullPointerException
The last part of the log before these fatal errors is as follows:

Any idea why this might have happened, just because I upgrade to JHS production release?
I am reverting to build 78 again to continue developing, but hope to be able to get working with the prod release soon, but I lack knowledge to determine where the error occurs...

Sandra,
I have the (ugly) feeling that I am facing the problem mentioned in http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=1211326? : it looks like when a JSPX page gets too complex, the Embedded OC4J raises this StackOverFlow class notfound error :-(. Probably the (it only hits me when navigating to the most complex page) generated page generated with build 78 was fine, but the generated page after build 91 has become too complex, allthough nothing changed in between. What I can see from the difference between the before and after build 91 situation for all pages, is that you have added the <id=...> arguments to all ADF elements, like [id="PersonsSaveButton"] in:
<af:commandButton actionListener="#{bindings.Commit.execute}"
                  action="Commit"
                  textAndAccessKey="#{nls['SAVE_BUTTON_LABEL_PERSONS']}"
                  id="PersonsSaveButton">
               <af:resetActionListener/>
</af:commandButton>In build78 these were not there. As far as I can see another difference after generating with build 91 is a new element in the page:
<af:panelGroup rendered="#{(bindings.PersonsIterator.currentRowIndexInRange!=-1 and bindings.PersonsIterator.findMode!='true')}">I have not seen a proper solution for this on the JDeveloper forum. I noticed people asking if there is a kind of 'maximum' on how complex a page can get before this error situation happens. No answer on that found (you do not want to know there is a maximum anyway).
The specific page is a master with 5 stacked detail regions and three "use as LOV" groups. Further on about 30 domains are used...
And the page has not finished yet, it will get more "complex" that this. I hope someone knows a good solution so that I can continue to use the Embedded OC4J for testing, otherwise developing wil get very time consuming if I have to deploy to AS every time...something I cannot afford since the project deadline is getting nearer and nearer.

New Mac Book, old Aperture...I have all upgrades for Aperture, but cannot find my original Ap 1 disc...am I screwed?

I have a new Mac Book Pro and tried to load Aperture on it. Cannot find the original disc but have both discs and serial numbers for 2 & 3...can I still upload?
Thanks,
Nick

Maybe I didn't explain..I started with Aperture 1 and then "upgraded" Aperture 2 and then 3. All of these were on the same computer and with the use of hard discs I purchased through Apple.
I now have a new computer and the update 2 & 3 discs with paperwork but Aperture 1 is long gone....I tried to load from the Aperture 2 disc but it asked for the original disc...no habbu..
Any suggestions..
