X2100 M2 hangs on loading /sbin/loader during RHEL 4 ES Update 4 install

I have this new X2100 M2. I have a RAID 1 setup with two disks. When I boot from the RHEL 4 ES Update 4 (32 bit) install CD, it hangs when loading /sbin/loader.
If I specify "linux noapic" it does the same thing. If I specify "linux noprobe" it goes into the install menu but the keyboard doesn't work.
I am running Firmware: BIOS - 3A12 and SP - 2.70. There are newer version out, but when I tried to installed those all the USB ports stopped working and I had to downgrade to the above versions via iLOM.
This is obviously a hardware issues with RHEL ES 4, but I don't know what hardware. I had this same problem installing VMWare ESX 3.0.1 on an X4600, but after upgrading to the latest BIOS (which said fixed fixed the /sbin/loader) issue everything worked.
There doesn't seem to be a fix yet for this on the X2100 M2 BIOS though.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks,
MK

Matt,
We had a problem like this with our x2100M2's. These systems come with 250GB SATA drives and the redhat distro doesn't load the correct modules to contact the drive. We had to load the following modules:
scsi_mod libata sata_nv usbcore usb-ohci input hid keybdev
An 'lsmod' on this system shows the following modules loaded:

Sometimes, it is best with a new system to boot the redhat distro in single user mode, then see what devices show up and what modules are loaded.
I realize this is a bit sketchy, but we boot via a network boot with an NFS mounted root, so there is no OS resident on the compute nodes.

  • Database daemon and SyncServicesAgent won't close during MS Office Update Install

    While running Microsoft Office Updater I tried to close apps that were preventing the Installer from continuing. Two apps wouldn't close: Database Daemon and SyncServicesAgent. Out of desperation rather than knowledge I ran the Disk Utility and repaired permissions. BINGO! the Installer closed the errant apps and completed its task. What is going on? I read the same advice repeatedly in this forum that repairing permissions is a waste of time. Clearly not in this case I think.

    It is possible to maximize the run time previewer when calling reports from forms. U need to set a parameter named 'MAXIMIZE' to do that.
    I m attaching a code sample for u. This is working in my production environment.

  • Windows 7 install hangs at "Windows is loading files ..." on MBA

    I have been trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate but each time the install hangs at "Windows is loading files ..." on reboot. I am using a Windows install DVD using an external drive. When the install hangs, the DVD is not being accessed. I have tried several times and it leads to the same result. I have tried different partition sizes (20 GB - 50 GB), no luck.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Solution
    I have a macmini bought in mid2011 with OS Lion on it. AS it doesnot come with an optical drive, I bought an LG DVD drive and used the windows 7 (64bit) installation DVD. It stopped at windows is loading files....
    I tired couple of other options like using flash dirve but it dint work.
    The I went to Apple's Genius Bar, and they put the installation dvd into their dvd drive (by Apple). Then the windows installed perfectly fine.
    When asked they said it must be the problem of DVD and I found out that it actually is the cause. Apple products require dual layer optical drives but in general the optical drives we buy can only read single layer dvds. So I got to fix the problem by borrowing their dvd drive in genius bar and now i m good to go.....
    Hope this helps

  • Pre-load the Cache during Application-Start Up

    Our requirement is to pre-load the cache during the application start-up most probably during Authentication/Authorization Service is invoked.
    We plan to load the data for other services from database into Coherence cache so that when user access that particular service he ends up hitting the Cache instead of database.
    Any pointers/suggestions on how to pre-load the cache during application start-up would be greatly appreciated. We are using Spring, Hibernate, Weblogic Web Services
    Regards,
    Bansi

    Hi Bansi,
    I were using following approach.
    First, we never use CacheFactory.getCache() in application code instead all instances of named cache were injected.
    On server side, I have an CacheInitializerBean which were starting cache preloading process (in separate thread). After preloading a special marker entry were put to the cache, indicating what data in the cache are consistent.
    When injecting named cache instance, we use a factory. This factory use CacheFactory.getCache() internally, but it check presence of marker object in cache an blocks until marker object will appear.
    Well in practice things are little more complicated but this is basic idea.
    Preload cache asynchronously and use marker to indicate completion of loading process.
    Hope this will help.
    Regards,
    Alexey

  • Premiere Pro CC hangs on splash screen  "loading ExporterQuicktimeHost.bundle"

    Premiere Pro CC hangs on splash screen  "loading ExporterQuicktimeHost.bundle"
    This happened before when I had CS6. I'm now using CC and haven't had problems until now. I again get the hang up while loading. Previously I trashed the loading ExporterQuicktimeHost.bundle file and this solved the problem.
    I tried to contact support. I thought my subscription to CC included support, apparently not.
    Anyone else have this Problem?
    Brian

    Thanks for the response Kevin.
    I tried repairing permissions.
    I recently installed OSX 10.8.4 but I've been succesfully using PP since then. PP is up to date v7.0.1
    I have read the other forum posts on this.
    Again, this problem cropped up using PP CS6, but I was able fix it using this procedure:
    1. Go to Applications
    2. Go to Adobe Premiere CS6
    3. Right click on the application and click on “Show Package Contents”
    4. Go to Contents –> Plug-ins –> Common
    5. Move the following files to the desktop: ExporterQuicktimeHost.bundle and ImporterQuicktimeHost.bundle
    6. Restart Adobe Premiere CS6 and it will successfully open up
    This no longer fixes it.
    I desperately need to get back to work.
    Even though I feel Adobe support should be included in a CC subscription, I'm considering purchasing Adobe Bronze support with a max wait time of 4 hours and only alloted phone calls for  $175
    thanks anyway

  • Photoshop cs5 hangs on launch when loading brushes

    Photoshop cs5 hangs on launch when loading brushes.  I have to do a hard reboot and reset the preferences.  In the past 2 days I have had to do this 3 times.  I have the latest drivers.  below is my hardware.  I am also running lightroom.  I did not have this issue until after I installed the latest updates from the adobe website. Does anyone have any information on a fix for this problem  Thank You for your time.
    Nancy Cuppy

    That's interesting...and troublesome.
    I did some research on it this morning and found it was happening dell computers (maybe because there are lots of Dells!) and there is no one answer, as there is no common connections.
    Have you rebooted again after the f8>last known...step? Does it boot ok? One problem is that check disk did not clear after running and there is a fix for that.
    Did your computer come with Win7 installed? If so, I would contact that computer's support and see what they say.
    That it started ok in "last known" is apparently unique as I found no reference to that. Normally one goes to Safe Mode and see if it starts ok, and if it does, then steps to clear the restart problem can be implemented.
    The fact that no problems showed up at the first check is a good sign.
    I hesitate to offer any other solutions as there are several, including actual Registry mods but that I wouldn't do.
    Perhaps others here who experienced this as well could jump in.

  • My G3 is Hanging when trying to load Tiger

    My G3 is hanging when trying to load up tiger. It gets all the way up the progress bar and doesn't go any further? Any suggestions? Can I just erase my hard drive and start over. It's a computer that I'm trying to upgrade for my kids so there is really nothing important on the hard drive at this point. I can't even get to disk utility to do this.

    Does your computer meet the minimum system requirements for Tiger? [Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger system requirements|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301341] Note, these really are minimum and Tiger will run a lot better with more, especially RAM. Tiger on a 300MHz will probably be quite slow.
    Some B&W G3s do not respond well to larger drives and the best terms is "flaky". These are the Rev. 1 G3s. You can post in the G3 forum for more information about this. See Grant's comments in [this discussion|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7203272&#7203272]

  • LabView hangs when trying to load the same VI with a different user logged onto Win2k

    When 'User A' is logged onto Win2k, a particular VI loads and runs fine. When 'User B' logs onto the same Win2k box, LabView hangs when trying to load the VI.
    I'm also not seeing the setup channels in the Data Neighborhood in MAX when logged on as 'User B'. I tried loading the configuration when logged on as 'User B' that I think is being used for 'User A', but nothing happens.
    Where are the configuration files (of whatever type) that tell LabView which user is logged on?
    Thank you!

    There are no configuration files that tells LabVIEW what users are logged on. It is Win2K permissions settings that allow different users access to different folders and applications. Try changing the permissions for the LabVIEW folder and see if that doesn't fix your problem.

  • I just updated to the latest aperture, i have projects previously saved on a drive (in the old version) that now won't load... how do i update them?

    Hi,
    i just updated to the latest aperture, i have projects previously saved on a drive (in the old version) that now won't load... how do i update them?

    But, unless I missed something, you are doing the repair with Aperture 3.5 so if 3.5 can't open an earlier library before doing the upgrade then unless I'm missing something the library will be upgraded before the repair is run, no?
    OT:
    You got me there, Frank - I wondered about the same thing, but Aperture is behaving differently, when upgrading a library, depending on if you are launching into the First Aid Tools or not.
    I repeated my experiments, to explore this difference:
    I restored an Aperture 3.4.3 library and launched the First Aid Tools:
    Apertur went directly into First Aid Mode without first asking to upgrade.
    Then "Repair" asked to be allowed to upgrade the library as you predicted.
    During the upgrade "Aperture"showed "Rebuilding", not "Repairing" or "upgrading". 
    Second experiment: When I only double-click the 3.4.3 library instead of repairing, the upgrade alert is very different:
    It takes a shorter time and does not show "rebuilding".
    I am quite certain, that Aperture will use a different upgrade prodecure, when launched into the First Aid panel for repairing or rebuilding.

  • Difference: Full load, Delta Load & INIT load in BW

    Hi Experts,
    I am new to SAP BW Data warehousing.
    What is the difference between Full load, Delta Load & INIT load in BW.
    Regards
    Praveen

    Hi Pravin,
    Hope the below helps you...
    Full update:
    A full update requests all the data that corresponds with the selection criteria you have determined in the scheduler.
    You can indicate that a request with full update mode is a full repair request using the scheduler menu. This request can be posted to every data target, even if the data target already contains data from an initialization run or delta for this DataSource/source system combination, and has overlapping selection conditions.
    If you use the full repair request to reload the data into the DataStore object after you have selectively deleted data from the DataStore object, note that this can lead to inconsistencies in the data target. If the selections for the repair request do not correspond with the selections you made when selectively deleting data from the DataStore object, posting this request can lead to duplicated data records in the data target.
    Initialization of the delta process
    Initializing the delta process is a precondition for requesting the delta.
    More than one initialization selection is possible for different, non-overlapping selection conditions to initialize the delta process when scheduling InfoPackages for data from an SAP system. This gives you the option of loading the data
    relevant for the delta process to the Business Information Warehouse in steps.
    For example, you could load the data for cost center 1000 to BI in one step and the data for cost center 2000 in another.
    The delta requested after several initializations contains the upper amount of all the successful init selections as the selection criterion. After this, the selection condition for the delta can no longer be changed. In the example, data for cost
    centers 1000 and 2000 were loaded to BI during a delta.
    Delta update
    A delta update requests only the data that has appeared since the last delta. Before you can request a delta update you first have to initialize the delta process. A delta update is only possible for loading from SAP source systems. If a delta update fails (status red in the monitor), or the overall status of the delta request was set to red manually, the next data request is carried out in repeat mode. With a repeat request, the data that was loaded incorrectly or incompletely in the failed delta request is extracted along with the data that has accrued from this point on. A repeat can only be requested in the dialog screen. If the data from the failed delta request has already been updated to data targets, delete the data from the data targets in question. If you do not delete the data from the data targets, this could lead to duplicated data records after the repeat request.
    Repeat delta update
    If the loading process fails, the delta for the DataSource is requested again.
    Early delta initialization : This is a advanced concept, but just for your information ...
    With early delta initialization you can already write the data to the delta queue or to the delta tables in the application while the initialization is requested in the source system. This enables you to initialize the delta process, in other
    words, the init request, without having to stop posting the data in the source system. You can only carry out early delta initialization if this is supported by the extractor for the DataSource that is called in the source system with this data
    request. Extractors that support early delta initialization were first supplied with.

  • Shipping dates(Loading start,Loading End,shipment start...)

    Hi,
    In the shipment transaction(VT01n) what (Configuration)settings are required to populate the fields
    Loading start,Loading End,shipment start, and shipment end dates  in the Planning side.
    REgards
    Rahul

    Yes. Its called Inferred member concept or Early Arriving facts
    You can handle them as follows
    1. In the ETL for fact identify cases where you've dimension key value coming but reference missing from the corresponding dimension table
    2. Insert those records to dimension table with just the available business key value and retrieve the generated surrogate key. For all the other attributes put some default value. Have a bit field called IsInferred in the table with default value 0. Set
    it to 1 for the above records. This would avoid missing reference error for FK
    3. In the ETL for the dimension include one step to look for cases where IsInferred = 1 and do an update of all attribute values except business key. Also make sure IsInferred is reset to 0. This will make sure the missing information gets automatically
    added during the next ETL run for the dimensions
    4. If you make use of standard SCD task available in SSIS it can take care of this scenario by itself
