X4150 hypertown won't boot after fresh install

I was able to finally install Solaris u4 on it. After install, I reboot. I booted it with -sv option and the last thing I see is:
cpuid 0: initialized cpumod: cpu.generic
Now it reboots. No error messages or panics.
I am able to boot up going into failsafe mode from GRUB.
I have a LSI PCIe internal HBA installed. Are there some drivers its missing? I believe the LSI RAID drivers are installed (from looking at /var/sadm/pkg packages).
Any ideas?

x4150 is a nightmare for me.
to fix the reboot problem, you need to apply 2 patches
125370-06
127112-05
I applied the latest patch cluster and the reboot problem fixed.
however, I couldn't boot up the machine EVERYTIME, it only work once in a couple of reboot.

  • Leopard DVD won't boot after bad install

    I ran the leopard installation yesterday and I realized that i needed to do some more work on the drive before i installed, so i clicke cancel and restarted the computer. Now the dvd won't boot. I installed tiger again(came with laptop) and tried doing various other things with the disk. Almost any ntensive use of the disk (booting from it, trying to clone it, etc.) will result in the superdrive powering up and then down repeatedly, sans result. I left the leopard dvd to boot for hours and when it tries it gets to the grey logo and the drive does that power up/down cycle endlessly. I can boot from ubuntu's disk and the tiger disk that came with my computer. The disk mounts to the desktop, btw, and i can browse the files and everything. Apple support was no help.

    I've been doing some work with the disk. I did another attempt at creating a dmg from it and got the same result, so I googled the error which led me to a thread on this site with a similar issue. The error was input/output error. They found that it was due to a corrupt file... so I did a cp -r of the disk and it said that a few files did not exist:
    cp -r "Mac OS X Install DVD" /Users/mattebooks/Desktop/Leopard
    cp: Mac OS X Install DVD/usr/lib/libpython.dylib: No such file or directory
    cp: Mac OS X Install DVD/usr/lib/libpython2.5.dylib: No such file or directory
    cp: Mac OS X Install DVD/usr/lib/libpython2.dylib: No such file or directory
    cp: Mac OS X Install DVD/usr/lib/libruby.1.dylib: No such file or directory
    cp: Mac OS X Install DVD/usr/lib/libruby.dylib: No such file or directory
    cp: Mac OS X Install DVD/usr/lib/libtcl.dylib: No such file or directory
    cp: Mac OS X Install DVD/usr/lib/libtcl8.4.dylib: No such file or directory
    cp: Mac OS X Install DVD/usr/lib/libtk.dylib: No such file or directory
    cp: Mac OS X Install DVD/usr/lib/libtk8.4.dylib: No such file or directory
    So I set Finder to show hidden files and went to these files libpython and libpython2.5 are aliases of libpython2 and libpython2 is an alias of a file in a non-existing folder. A little more digging and I find out that the python, ruby, tcl and tk framework folders are all missing, all from the same folder... interesting. Maybe I could add the files in and reburn the disk. My guess is that the loader looks for these files repeatedly. The path to the files is /System/Library/Frameworks/... If anyone could email these to me I could try and rebuild the disk...

  • [Solved] X11 won't start after fresh install

    Hihi!
    I've been using Debian for quite some time now but I want to switch to Arch. My notebook is fairly modern and this doesn't mix well with Debian and as such my dGPU is basically unusable. My preferred method of installing Debian is to start headless so I felt quite at home with Arch and got through the install just fine, but I'm having problems launching Openbox among other hardware related issues. I spent yesterday googling and attempting fixes but came up with nothing, so I had to reinstall Debian as I was counting on having a usable computer at the end of the day. I did write down the messages I was getting though, hopefully they are enough to diagnose the issue. My hardware:
    AMD A10-5750M (8650G graphics)
    AMD Radeon 8970M 2GB
    The kernel was the one in the very latest install snapshot (3.12-9 or something)
    The first thing I noticed after booting into the fresh install was a warning along these lines
    [drm:r600_dma_ring_test] radeon: ring 3 test failed
    I ignored it, and preceeded to install the following packages
    xorg-server
    xorg-utils
    xorg-xinit
    mesa
    xf86-video-ati
    openbox
    openbox-themes
    other things related to the UI I wanted
    The ring 3 test warning still occured on reboot after installing X and the radeon drivers. Again I ignored it. My .xinitrc was simply exec openbox-session
    I ran startx and it failed, and got a bunch of errors that began right after a reference to "radeon" and the kernel. My xorg log did not get far at all. In fact the last lines were
    (II) config/udev: Adding drm device (/dev/dri/card0)
    (II) config/udev: Adding drm device (/dev/dri/card1)
    And that was literally the end of the log. This is clearly a GPU/driver issue, probably with the 8970M as card1 seems to be the last line? Any help is appreciated
    edit: This is the same process I use to install Debian, and using this exact same kernel (plus the Debian patches) I can start X just fine. my dGPU is unusable with the FOSS drivers through as there is no glamor support in Debian. I get segfaults whenever I launch something with DRI_PRIME=1 after setting the 8970M as the offload provider
    Last edited by remyze (2014-02-09 04:02:04)

    Ok I installed fresh and had the same issues as last time. With KMS early start I still have the same problems launching X and I still have the ring 3 test error (it just appears earlier).
    There is nothing pure text in /var/log, I don't know if theres a way to use systemd with wgetpaste, so I took a picture that is hopefully not to difficult to read. I tried to sharpen it up a bit in GIMP.
    *see pastebin below*
    I also noticed that I get that ring 3 error even when I boot up the Arch installer  via USB. I wonder if I should try an older image with an older kernel?

  • IMac won't boot after Lion install

    I have an Intel iMac circa 2007/2008. I just installed OSX Lion on it. After installation, the computer would beachball frequently and eventually froze completely. I had to do a hard-reset as the system was completely unresponsive.
    Now the computer won't boot up. It gets stuck at the grey screen with an Apple and a spinner at the bottom.
    Please help; this computer runs my small business.

    How much RAM is installed? Lion will run much better with at least 4 GBs of installed RAM.
    I would guess you updated from Snow Leopard and that Snow Leopard was not in good shape. Reinstall Lion to see if this fixes things for you:
    Reinstalling Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alterhatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

  • System wont boot after fresh install

    Hello out there, i am in need of some serious help.I decided to upgrade my pc as she was showing signs of stress. so after alot of checking i decided on the k7n2 delta ilsr (future proofing in mind) amd 2600xp barton(333mhz) pc3200 512ddr
    for the time being.
    my problem is i cant get my system up and running, not even in safe mode.
    I have tried alot of suggestions from tech supports and from these forums but with still no joy.
    Everything seems to go pair shaped when windows is setting up, i have tried two seperate h/drives, win2k, winme (which i nearly got to safe mode with).
    have been told everything compatible although will need to upgrade psu sooner rather than later and agp card later but both should be ok for now with what min drives i need.
    error messages are
    irql not less or even
    boot drive innaccessable
    config initialisation failed
    somebody please help, spent whole of easter w/end trying which never went doen to well on the home fron (if you know what i mean)
    am i doing something wrong, what should the cmos/bios settings be at.
    my latest attempt was with min spec,: agp, 1 cdrom, 1 h/drive, etc.
    sorry for the lenghy message but i am starting to loe hair over this now.
    thanks in advance,    srios

    morning people, (if your up yet, its 8am)
    bought a new psu from pcworld last night. they only had one brand, jeantech, i hope this is ok, i think so, i know someone running this psu with a p4 2.8/ msi system with no probs
    anyway its spec is as follows;
                        +5v   +3.3v     +12v     -5v    -12v   +5vsb                              
                        35a      28a       17a      0.3a   0.8a      2a      
                            200w           204w    1.5w   9.6w    10w
    it also has extra 4 pin cpu supply, do i connect this as well as an alternative or do i plug in to boost supply to +12v @ 17a x2 = 34a, or does it not work like that?!
    right then, i'm gonna set this all up again in a little while, so is there anything else i need to do or check.
    i do have one more question though, i have win2k on a h/drive now so can i just unplug old m/board and put in new one, or do i have to do a fresh install and format the drive first  and start from the begining
    anyway must dash and thanks for your time and help, .....srios

  • OS X won't boot after being installed on an encrypted partition

    Hello!
    Today i formatted my entire disk, but made it Journaled, Encrypted. It installed (actually "downloaded aditional files"), and then booted with a cross/do not proceed sign. I booted from the install disk again, got an error telling me to reinstall OS X. I was never asked for my password, and when i started disk utility, the disk was locked.
    Why is the option there if it doesn't work?
    Andrei

    Thanks for this info:
    Kappy wrote:
    There may be many reasons why it didn't work but without knowing exactly what you did it's pretty difficult to make any presumptions.
    Others use it, and there have not been too many posts about using encrypted disks and FileVault 2. But searching the forums may help you.
    One thing I'd consider trying if you were willing to take the time and trouble:
    Drive Preparation
    1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    Step 1 can be changed to whatever method you are using to boot into the Lion installer or a Recovery HD volume.
    But as ai said, i don't need it. I'm aleadry installing it normally.
    So no need to help. I'm just curious why the Encrypted option isn't working.
    Thia is what i did:
    Booted from the disk, selected my HDD, clicked erase and selected "HFS+ extended (Journaled, Encrypted)"
    It installed
    After rebooting, it didn't ask me for the password i set for encryption.
    Booted with the Cross (X) instead of the logo.
    And that's it... I've seen that if you turn on filevault, it'll ask you for a password when booting. But for me it didn't.
    RIght now it's working (i used the :HFS+ Extended (journaled)" without encryption.
    And i want to know if it's my fault, or Apple's.

  • IPhoto won't open after fresh instal of Lion!

    I recently erased my hard drive and did a fresh install of Lion as I am giving my MacBook Pro to my brother as a Xmas present. I used a USB pen to reinstall Lion. I used my time MAchine backup to bring over iPhoto, iMovie and Garageband. Everything works apart from iPhoto. It says "iPhoto cannot be opened because of a problem. Thing is iLife came bundled on my Mac and i did not have to buy it from the App Store. Everything is up to date but it just won;t open. Can anyone help explain why this maybe and help me fix the problem?

  • Mac won't boot after leopard install

    hi - installed leopard on my imac but now my mac won't boot:
    i have already tried the following:
    1) safe mode - but won't boot
    2) single user mode - ran fsck - said no issues
    3) did target mode with firewire cbale to my macbook and ran disk utility - no repairs needed - and i can see all my files on original computer
    4) reinstalled leopard from holding down options key - leopard installed again
    but for all of abv - when i reboot i still get white apple logo screen and the spinning wheel...
    any other way to get into safe mode - as that is only thing i have not been able to start....
    thanks!
    susan

    tigerswim, welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Did you already have Tiger installed or did you have Panther 10.3 installed? Tiger is not a free upgrade; you have to buy it & then update (for free) using the download updates from Apple. Also, you have to use a universal/retail install DVD (or CDs) to install Tiger. You cannot use the install DVD from another model Mac.

  • Mac book won't boot after security install

    I've experienced major issues ever since the update to 10.5.5. I've performed the disk repair a few times, but the computer kept freezing, or it would quit my application with no warning, so I did an archive and install. It seemed to be working fine, although safari wasn't showing some content, so I ran the software update to update the system to see if it would work better. It was closing safari a few times, but after the security update tonight, I cannot get the system to boot.
    I've held the shift key to try and start is safe boot... that worked once, when I went to restart it wouldn't start. I've tried to start form the DVD, it won't start by holding the c key at start up.
    I've tried the option key at start up and selected the DVD, won't start.
    Several times I'll get the gray screen with the apple for about a minute, then the computer just turns off.
    Any suggestions besides take it in to get serviced?

    Kimg wrote:
    I also tried the fsck thing..there were some errors showing.. and the end message said something like it cannot repair.. then exit 8.
    It's always better to boot into the Safe mode (hold down Shift key during boot) rather than manually run fsck. The safe boot runs fsck.
    I hope the Apple Care will take care of the issue.
    It may not be your HD. It could be that all your data are intact but that a controller or some other hardware is bad.
    Whenever we install software, updates, etc., we use areas of the HD that were unused. This is why it's not a coincidence that many failures occur during a software install/update. Updates exercise hardware much more than do many standard apps. Even when storing a large file, a failure does not do much damage, but when installing a system program or update, any HD failure can result in disaster.

  • Error while booting after fresh install

    Hi, I decided to reinstall Arch on my laptop. So I first used gcdisk to make my partitions, I have 4 (/ , boot, home, var). I made sure to make a fifth partition of 2mb for bios booting with grub at the beginning of my disk. I chose jfs filesystem for all partitions except var I chose reiserfs.
    I mounted everything, installed base and base-devel, grub following the wiki, generated fstab, etc. Then when I reboot I get the error : error 'grub.pc/i386/search_fs_uuid.mod' not found. I tried reinstalling everything twice.
    I thought maybe I was doing something wrong with GPT so I used MBR this time, re-did the full installation and same problem. I read the grub wiki and did everything it says. I'm not doing dual-boot.
    any suggestions? thank you
    PS: After booting it brings me to maintenance terminal.

    henk wrote:
    'grub.pc/i386/search_fs_uuid.mod'
    Is this a typo? As in it should have been '/grub/i386-pc/search_fs_uuid.mod'?
    Ooops it might have been a typo sorry.
    WonderWoofy wrote:I think the significant portion of what you did has to do with the error message itself.  Ergo, instead of reinstalling everything over and over again, debug grub.  I think you need to do better than "I read the grub wiki and did everything it says" in how you ask your quesiton.  What exactly did you do?
    BTW, i really do not like grub2 as it has become particurly crazy bloated (as exemplified by the need for a 1-2MB partition in addition to the space in the disk's boot sector).  So I try to encourage others to use something simpler that allows more user control over configuration.  I like syslinux, but grub-legacy or lilo are good choices as well.
    I had grub2 installed before so that's why I chose it. Also on the syslinux wiki it doesn't say it supports jfs filesystem, which is why I chose grub2.
    Is there a way to install the missing path with pacman?
    edit: Also when I check in /boot/grub/i386-pc/ I can see the search_fs_uuid.mod

  • IMac 8,1 won't boot after Lion Install.

    Hey guys,
    I have an iMac8,1 with a 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo that I just installed Lion on.
    It previously had Leopard on it, but after shutting it down to boot from the USB stick that I had made on my MacBook, I pressed alt to show the device selection menu. There were no options except EFI boot with an orange drive, which I took for the Lion stick that I had made. Installing Lion went without a hitch. I formatted the drive that Leopard was on and did a clean install. After it was finished, I set up Lion and set up a Boot Camp partition so that I could install Windows 7 side by side with it. I booted into the device selection menu (holding down alt/option while booting) and it showed me a completely blank screen. No Macintosh HD, no EFI boot, no Windows DVD, nothing.
    I put the flash drive back into the machine, and kept restarting it and seeing the same result, until all of a sudden it decided to finally start, and I saw the Apple logo. After a while, though, it became apparent that it was not booting into OS X Lion on the hard drive, but rather the Lion Install.
    I have no idea what to do with this machine. It was running extremely slowly before I started trying to fix it, and it didn't make sense to me that a machine with fairly capable specs (I have the same processor and 2GB of RAM on my MacBook and it runs great) would run so catastrophically slowly.
    Also, I'm now in Disk Utility running from the Lion USB and it a) sees both partitions and mounts them fine, b) says that "The volume "Macintosh HD" appears to be OK", after Repair Disk c) is unable to fix or verify disk permissions.
    I'm at a loss as to what to do. Can anyone help?

    If you have backups of all OS X and WIndows data on the internal drive, I suggest you partition it with the default options (GUID partition table, one data partition) while booted from the USB device. Install OS X and test. If you can boot in that configuration, restore your OS X data and then run Boot Camp Assistant, if you wish.
    If the above procedure is unsuccessful, the machine has a hardware fault.

  • Vista won't start after fresh install of LabVIEW & 4G RAM

    Since Vista is such a memory glutton I decided to upgrade my AMD64 box to 4 Gig RAM.  Good idea, no?  Turns out not.  Now Vista won't start.  It locks up at the (lack of) progress bar before the log-in screen.  After much hollerin' and hair pullin' I reinstalled Vista and now it sees 3.25 Gig.  I install updates; everything looks good; I install LabVIEW 8.0 and activate it.  At restart WinDoze Vista won't start.  Now I want to scream.  My Linux (Ubuntu Gutsy) partition runs fine and indicates 3.9 Gig RAM. 
    What is LabVIEW installing that has caused this?  Does anybody have a place to start looking?
    Thank You for reading my rantings
    LabVIEW 8.0.1; WinDoze XP
    aut viam inveniam aut faciam

    Well, NI doesn't claim LabVIEW 8.0 is Vista compatible.
    If you did the full install, you probably also installed Device Drivers and such. If you used the ones released with 8.0, they are definitely not Vista compatible.  Those device drivers will try to load during Vista bootup.  If you did, you will need to do a clean uninstall following this procedure.  Download the latest drivers from NI's website and see if that fixes your problem.

  • Mac pro 2006 won't boot after lion install

    hi,
    under 10.6.8 everything worked fine.  All adapters and peripherals were functional.
    After a normal looking lion install my mac pro 2006 will not make it past the boot screen (Grey Apple logo with spinning wheel).  After a while the spinning wheel stopped spinning but I hear disk I/O continue for some time.  A verbose boot lists the usual output.  The last line visible has a mention of macos_swapon or something like that.  I do note the first couple of lines specify a 64 bit kernel is booting.  I was under the impression that this machine cannot run the 64 bit kernel from snow leopard discussions.
    The video card is an upgraded one (i.e. not the stock card that came with the machine).  However as I said before it was working fine under snow leopard.
    Any ideas?

    I have the same problem.  I did a clean install of Lion and created a temp account.  I was able to use Lion for a bit, then I used the Migration Assistant to bring my regular accounts back in from an external drive.  When that completed I logged off of the temp account and into my main account (without restarting).  Still no problems, Lion was working fine.  I shut the Macbook down for the night.  Now that I'm powering it on the next morning, I only get the Apple logo and spinning wheel. 
    I tried a PRAM zap, but it didn't help.

  • Windows 7 won't boot after I installed GRUB

    Hello,
    I just installed Arch Linux on my laptop with Windows 7. I followed the Beginners Guide. However, when I did "grub-install --target=i386-pc --recheck /dev/sda" it said something along the lines of:
    warning, no BIOS boot partition, embedding is not possible
    warning, embedding is not possible, need to use blocklists
    error, will not proceed with blocklists.
    Now, I think this was my mistake. I decided to use the --force option. Now grub works, and boots to linux, but when I try to boot to windows, windows says Windows failed to boot.
    Please help, and if I have missed any information then just ask me.
    Grub version is 2.02 beta 2-4.
    Grub is booting Windows, but Windows displays this:
    Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause.
    Thanks a lot!

  • Pavilion dv6t new hard drive won't boot after OS install

    Hello, I have a HP Pavilion dv6t-3000 and the hard drive went bad and I just ordered a new one with basically the same capabilities. BIOS recognizes it because I can run the hard disk test and because the HP Recovery disc's successfully load and install on the hard drive. But once the recovery disc's finish the install and restart I get the error "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key". The only thing I can think of is the hard drive is not compatible or something needs to be configured in the BIOS, but it is still recognized and still gets Windows 7 Home Premium installed using the recover disc's so in my mind that eliminates that problem.
    Is there something I am missing or something else that needs to be done?
