Thanks in advance for any help extended.

Hello Surya,
Those look like SAN/Fiber devices. Does your /etc/system file include any forceloads to load the fp, qlc, emlxs, or sd drivers? If not that could be one possible reason why it's failing to mount at boot, but works okay from FailSafe.
Also check your /etc/system file and remove anything relating to SVM

  • Help wanted: X86 Boot problems...

    My system boot failed from Hard Disk after X86 installation. But it can boot all ok from DAC floppy and then the system seems to run well. How can I solve that problem and make a successful boot from HD? Many thanks.

    i got the monitor working - i had changed J11 not J10 (or vice versa, whichever is which) so thanks
    now it freezes when i try and boot - im using a win98 startup disk, sometimes it freezes half way thru loading the cd drivers etc, sometimes it loads them and then i just cant type anything (but it cant be the keyboard coz i gotta press enter to tell it to boot with cd support)
    i read that it might be a RAM problem - im running an athlon 1900 which is a 133/266 cpu, but my ram is PC2700 which is running at 166/333 - would this cause any problems? i went into BIOS and told the RAM to run at 133 instead but thsi didnt fix the problem
    also, my PSU is 3.3v=28A, 5v=30a, 12v=15a
    and the d-bracket has all 4 lights green

  • Solaris 8 on x86, boot problem

    hello everyone,
    I've installed Solaris 8 on my old Pentium II computer. When I boot it, the hardware configuration wizard always shows up, asking me to do a full scan. The first time, I had to change the keyboard layout, but afterwards, it's allready ok after the full scan. My question is, why doesn't solaris know what hardware I have after one full scan? Can I turn this full scan feature off somehow?
    thanks!

    During the screens, theres a point at which you can hit F4 for options (it shows on the bottom line). One of the options will be to set it up to autoboot.
    I can't recall if you have to save a named hardware configuration or not.

  • Solaris 8 4/01 Intel Instalation/Boot Problems

    I am TRYING to install the Solaris 8 for Intel and i am having several problems.
    I managed to solve some of them but now i am stuck.
    I am running a PII with a an Adapetc 2940 and a scsi disk.
    I am using interactive instalation one software cd 1.
    I am creating 2 partions one X86 boot with 10 Mb and another one of solaris type with 8500 Mb.
    in the second one i created a slice for root and another one for swap.
    The problem is after all the instalation completes the system wont boot !
    Any ideia why ?
    I created a dos boot partion and it boots fine.
    How can i create a boot disk ?
    How can access the file system a just created to check ?
    How can i rewrite the mbr ?
    I am using one disk and for solaris only, am i creating the right partion schema ?
    Please help.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Pedro Oliveira

    Howdy,
    I am please to see someone with ethics responding to some basic questions of a solaris install problem on an intel platform. I have been working with solaris on sparc for a while, not I am trying the Intel side of the house.
    I am having a similar problem as you mentioned. I have a Compaq Deskpro system with an IDE 2gb disk to install Solaris 8 4/01 on. I get all the way through the instructions to #27 on the DOC CD to the reboot of the system and the pulling out of the Installation CD. It tells me that I will need to wait for the system to reset then pull out the CD before the sytem completes its Memory test and HW detection.
    I think I am removing the CD when this is being done, but the only thing I am seeing is a compaq logo and an hourglass forever....the screen seems to hang there forever.
    Should I leave the installation CD in the drive longer?
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Solaris boot problem after Patch cluster install

    just wondering if anyone can assist. i have just installed solaris 10 x86 recommended patches on a 16 disks server. where first 2 disks are mirrored called rpool, and remaining 14 disks are raid z called spool. upon installing the patches successfully and rebooting server, i am coming up with the following error:

    It looks like the solaris 10 os cannot find zfs filesystem and keeps on rebooting in normal solaris os mode, but when I go to safe mode and type: zfs list, I can see zfs rpool (mirrored) file system and cannot see the zfs spool (raid z) file system, any ideas on how i can fix the boot problem and get zfs spool back in the safest way possible?...

    Same problem here with actual recomended patch set.

  • DAMAGED x86 Boot Partition...

    After installing Windows 2000 my x86 Boot partition got damaged.
    Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem.
    I can boot from the solaris partition from the installation disks but I would like to fix the x86 Boot partition so that I don't have to use the CD everytime I want to boot Solaris.
    Thanks for your help!

    When you installed Windows 2000, I'm thinking it made IT'S system partition the active partition. You should be able to use Disk Administrator to set the Solaris boot partition active. Hopefully the Solaris boot partition has recognized your FAT/NTFS partition(s) so it will show up in the boot program menu. If not, you may have to get like Boot Magic or some freeware equivalent...

  • K7N2 Delta-L: Strange cold boot problem & solution

    My K7N2 Delta-L has a problem cold booting when the vcore is set in the bios at 1.65v of higher. After a cold boot, you get a blank black screen. I noticed that even if you run at default speeds but set the vcore to 1.65v of higher the problem still occurs. There is no problem rebooting however.
    I found the following solutions:
    1. After you power up and get a blank, hit the reset button.
    2. Don't unplug your PC. My PC is connected to a AVR and after I power down the PC I usually turn the AVR off. If i do this, than the computer will have a booting problem if I try to boot it up 30 minutes later or so. Now if I don't unplug it/power off the AVR than everything is fine.
    I don't understand why it acts the way it does though.
    Does anyone know of any other solutions?

    Have you cleared the cmos. If you do be sure you have the power turned off don't move the cmos jumper with the power on.
    I found that turning off power at power supply and unpluging, than turning on the computer the fans will spin just a little this drains all the power. Clear cmos 2-3 than return to
    1-2 position.
    Than plug the power back in and turn it back on, than try the computer again.

  • Mid 2006 iMac Boot Problem (Since latest firmware update)

    I have a Mid 2006 17" iMac. Ever since the latest firmware update in early December, about every other startup I've been having boot problems. After the white screen with the Apple Logo and the spinning wheel it goes to a blue screen like normal, but instead of the 'Loading Mac OS X' white window popping up it stays blue and the spinning loading wheel starts. I've left it loading for quite a while before and nothing changes. I have to do a force shut off by holding the power button. and then I start it up and it will boot normally.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Actually, I think it'san early 2006.

  • 1st series iMac G5: Booting problems, kernel panics, waking from sleep...

    Specifications of the iMac described: 1.8 Ghz, 1GB, 80GB, 64 Mb Nvidia VRAM, Airport, 10.5.5
    Back in August 2004 my dad bought us kids an iMac G5 for ‘family use’. It had a fresh install of 10.3.5 on it and compared to the (1999) iMac G3 it replaced it was amazingly fast.
    The iMac never showed any signs of probable issues, until we decided to upgrade to Leopard in January 2008. Initially, this upgrade was only meant to be able to sync with the latest iPod nano (who demanded a newer version of iTunes).
    After the installation the first thing I noticed was a high CPU usage, the machine seemed slower than ever and that with 1 Gb of RAM (the minimum sys. req. for Leopard are 512 Mb of RAM). Anyway, then the real thing started, it wouldn’t turn on anymore. We brought it to an Authorized Apple Reseller, the Tech department said the Logic board had failed. The costs of the fix weren’t the worth the computer anymore, so...end of story. The iMac was indeed one of the bad series, although it hadn’t any swollen capacitors.
    My dad already made up his mind and bought himself a Macbook. He then told me that if I was able to get the broken iMac fixed, I could keep it. And so, I bought an ‘as-is’ logic board on Ebay. Last weekend I installed it, and it actually seemed to work! Yet, the problems are during the startup: the first thing I see is a screen full with horizontal lines flickering all the time, like an old TV with bad signal. Mostly it won’t boot and I get the message to restart the computer (kernel panic, I got dozens of logs already!). Sometimes it got stuck during booting (grey apple screen with gear in the middle) making the fans go crazy (after a while) and sounding what others describe as a ‘jetliner taking off’ sound. Sometimes the screen remains black. Generally it takes me 5 to 10 minutes to start up properly. Maybe it’s just me but it seems like when the computer has warmed up a little (by turning on and off on and on) starting up gets smoother. I mean the startup screen suffers from less horizontal flickering lines.
    During the use of Leopard, I again get high CPU usage, especially when I use multiple programs at the same time, or when starting multiple programs. My iStat Pro said once that the fans were running at 4700 rpm and the heat of the CPU was about 70 Celsius. If I really want to **** my iMac off I should play a racing game. That just totally freaks him out! These problems could probably be solved by adding more RAM. Right?
    The iMac also has a sleep problem. Sometimes after lets say an hour or so, you can’t get it out of sleep mode (by manipulating keyboard and/or mouse, the sleep light stops, but the screen stays off --> only solution is to restart). What happened to me once was that it slept so long that it just got into a deep sleep by turning itself off completely!
    Here’s a list of what I tried so far:
    - Disk Utility: Resetting the permissions, no problems were found.
    - Resetting the SMU, both on the logic board itself as by pressing the power button 5 - 8 seconds, no improvements.
    - Resetting the PRAM, no improvements.
    - Did the Hardware test of the original install CD, nothing was found, all good.
    - Did Archive and Instal, this actually messed my system entirely, cause it wouldn't boot at all and when starting up from the Leopard installation DVD it wouldn't recognize the Macintosh HD.
    - Did Archive and Instal with the original disks, this disk did recognize Macintosh HD and so I installed the original system, 10.3. Booting problems and those flickering lines are still there though.
    Next phase will be erase and install, but first I want to know what you guys think about all this.
    Oh eh, One more thing; The guys at Applecare (phone support) told me that the replaced logic board was also out of warranty and so they couldn’t help me. But as the man on the phone was kind, he told me to go look for a special ‘driver’ on the net. He said that the driver should be able to resolve some of the issues described. He said that I had to give in the name of the LB on google and look for results. Is this bogus? Because I haven’t found anything useful on google so far. What’s the name (rather than a number) of the LB in the first place?
    I hope you guys can give me some answers. I'm kinda desperate. But I still feel there's hope...

    The symptoms of a flakey power supply are sleep problems and you have done all the right things as far as resetting the SMU and PRAM. Your CPU usage can be tracked by going to Utilities>Activity Monitor - look and see what is hogging the memory. The flickering lines could also be an optical system going south.
    The other thing you can do is run DiskWarrior or TechToolPro to see if you have corrupted directories. Preferential Treatment will let you check for corrupted preferences.

  • MSI P45 Neo-f with intermittent boot problems

    Current system:
    *CPU: Intel core2duo 4300 1,80GHz
    Mobo: MSI P45 Neo-F LGA775
    *Memory: 1 Kingston 1GB PC2-5300 667MHz DDR2 and 1 Dane-Elec 1GB PC2-5300 667MHz DDR2
    Videocard: Club3D Nvidia 8800GT 512MB GDDR3
    *Hard drive: 120GB IBM deskstar 7200rpm Ultra-ATA/100 (yes I realize it is known as the deathstar, but it hasn't failed so far, I do back-up because I'm paranoid
    PSU: Real Silent Nexus NX-5000 500 watt
    *Soundcard: Soundblaster Audigy
    OS: Windows XP home, service pack 2
    *Lite-on IT dvd-rom drive
    *floppy disk drive
    I also have 3 case fans spinning away in a marginally large Chieftec Dragon tower.
    The parts I marked with an asterisk (*) are parts that I removed from my old rig and re-used.
    I'll try to give a clear rundown of my problem and the steps I've taken so far.
    3 days ago I acquired the P45 Neo and installed it into my system, together with the 8800GT videocard. I was still using my old PSU, a Chieftec 360watt. This PSU served me well for 7 years, but it was starting to build up noise while trying to keep up games on my old rig.
    I had some trouble getting the system to boot, I tried changing some of the 4 pins wires going to the hard drive and the dvd drive. I don't know if it was luck or if I managed to divide the load properly for the system to boot. But I succeeded into booting up, got into the bios and eventually installed WinXP.
    As soon as it was time to install the videocard drivers, it stopped responding. I assumed it was a power issue, since I could only install the 20pin and 4pin cpu, but my Chieftec PSU didn't have a 24pin plug to the mobo - and it needed replacing anyway! So I bought a new 500watt PSU that had all the required plugs and more wattage.
    I installed the new PSU, checked every connection and pressed the power button. 'Lo and behold, the computer starts up. I install the videocard drivers and it proceeds with no problems. I try to install the soundcard, but the cd says I don't have one installed. I fix that by going to the System list and install the drivers from there. I install a firewall. By then I have successfully rebooted the computer 3 or 4 times. I decide all is well and turn off the computer. But I realize I wanted to check up something on the internet.
    I press the powerbutton. The PC power light go up for just a fraction of a second. I can see the blue LED of one of the case fans switching on just as briefly - then it goes out. The computer keeps trying to turn itself on. It looks like it's hickupping to try and boot!
    I turn off the PSU power on the back-side because the computer keeps trying and wait for a bit. After 10 minutes, it still doesn't work. I leave the computer for a bit and return an hour later. The computer then starts up with no problems. I turn it off after a few hours, do a reset, start it up, no problems. But then the next day it happens again.
    It's pretty tough figuring out what the problem is because it looks..almost random. I considered it could be a heat issue, but sometimes it *does* start up just after it's been turned down. Checking the bios shows no strange temperature shifts.
    Hope anyone can help me, because I do not want to go back to my old Asrock mobo

    While powered down I cleared the cmos data, removed the Dane Elec DDR2 module and set the bios to optimized defaults. Computer restarted to WinXP with no problems (it has been off the whole night). I shut down WinXP, wait a few moments and then turn the computer back on. Alas, it won't start and starts hick-upping. I turn power off at the PSU again, so it stops.
    Now I try switching out the Kingston module instead. By now the computer has been off for 10 min (while I write this entry on laptop). I press the power button on the PSU and then the power button on the front. There is a short pause, lasting a second. The computer turns on, longer now, but it only lasts 2 whole seconds before it turns off again and goes on again (I believe now you can call it powercycling). It repeats this process until I shut off the PSU.
    I check to see if I have installed it properly and try again but it starts powercycling again.
    15 min pass, I put the Kingston module back in, press the power button and voila, this time it does start. WinXP shows up, no problems. I leave it on for a bit and then shut down. And when I press the power button again - the feeling of dread returns, when it starts hickupping again.
    I'm going to see if I can install one of the memory modules from my housemate. Then hopefully tommorrow, I'm going to try if I can test a different PSU, since I see someone else on the forum - who recently posted, has the exact same power supply and also has boot problems, coincidence... or not ^^;.

  • I have an early 2008 Mac Pro, which has re-booting problems. Also what does the spinning beach-ball indicate?

    Hi, I have an early 2008 Mac Pro which has re-booting problems.
    Processor speed is: 2.8
    Memory: 2GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
    2 x 28GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon
    I am running OSX Yosemite Version 10.10
    My Mac Pro keeps re-booting. Last year I had to replace my graphics card. My original card was the ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 255MB, and that is what I have now. At this precise moment my Mac Pro is running perfectly, except that it is slow and the spinning beach-ball keeps appearing. I have managed to do some work with the disk utilities, verifying, cleaning and partitioning. Some errors were found and when it was cleaned this seemed to help my Mac Pro to function properly. Although I am able to use my Mac Pro now, from day to day I still experience re-boot problems. Also quite unexpectedly my mac dictionary has an error, it closed itself down and will not open at all, I had the message to say that a report will be sent to Apple.
    I have tried starting my computer with an external hard drive fitted via a USB cable, I use for back-ups. This worked and I was able to wipe my hard drive clear and replace all info from the back up I had done only a few days ago.
    This worked for a few days and then the same problem started again.
    I am beginning to wonder if I need to buy a new hard drive.
    If there is anyone who has some answers to help me solve my problem, I would be most grateful.

  • Windows 8.1 pro boot problems

    I upgraded my OS on a hp pavilion g6-1d73us from windows 7 home premium to windows 8.1 pro and ever since I have had boot problems. I took all the software off since I thought that might be the problem but the boot problems persist. The computer's self diagnosis helps but I still have problems. Is my laptop incompatible with windows 8.1? Windows 8.1 was a download and I still have recovery disks for windows 7. I originally thought the problem was incompatible software but now I am not sure.

    Hi @hifive11 ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I am glad you have recovery disks for windows 7, smart thinking. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion g6-1d73us Notebook and having issues with the Windows upgrade to 8.1. Here is a link to the drivers page for your product. I do notice there are drivers for Windows 8.The Updates you need for the system are the Chipset. These are located on the driver page link above.
    One of the things that can cause an issue is things connected USB. The computer can not load the drivers so it causes an issue. Once the machine is up to date then return the USB devices.
    Then I recommended to restore the BIOS to factory defaults.Here is a link to restore the BIOS. 
    You can do a system restore. System restore will help if something automatically updated and did not go well on the Notebook.
    Please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices.
    Hope this helps.

  • The mother of all re-boot problems.

    Hi All,
    I've got that re-boot problem that seems very common but the solutions out there aren't working.
    Basically the computer will turn on, chime, grey screen comes up, shortly after apple logo, and then the gear starts turning, about 2 minutes later restart, process repeats.
    I've tried.
    - Booting from CD/Recovery Disk - Won't happen
    - A million different key combinations, I've read about 10 different posts on key combinations and tried them all, including PRAM reset, boot from different source, etc.
    Basically it's like my keyboard commands aren't being heard at all, but to test if the keyboard was working I pressed the caps lock button and the light was going on and off which tells me its powered. The only kind of input I have been able to acheive is by holding the mouse button down to eject the CD, other than that I have absolutly no control what so ever.
    Would like any insight.
    Cheers,
    Jarrod.

    HI,
    If you've had your iMac for less then one year then it's covered by the one year limited warranty.
    Take it to an Apple store or an Apple certified repair provider.

  • Mac Pro Boot Problems. Kona 3?

    I'm having booting problems with a Mac Pro. It's got a kona 3 card in one of the PCI slots, and we've been tinkering with it to try to get the audio to work right. However, I've been having huge problems whenever I try to restart the computer. After hitting the power button, or telling it to restart the screen goes to black and sometimes I hear a chime. However, the computer does not boot any further. Then, after holding the power button down and restarting the computer, I can sometimes get the computer to boot normally.
    I suspect the Kona card is causing some of the problems. I have multiple hard drives on the system, and I have the ability to boot onto two separate drives in 10.5.8. Both drives are having the same problems.
    it's a 2x2.8ghz quad-core Intel Xeon with 10gb of ram. The Kona card is in slot 2. Slot 3 has also been tried, but similar problems remained.

    removed kona card. uninstalled aja programs. restart problems still persisting.

  • Mac Pro Boot Problems After 10.6.2 Update

    After installing the latest version of snow leopard I am now having boot problems on my mac pro.
    Symptoms;
    -Screen resolution is incorrect at apple splash screen.
    -Takes a lot longer than usual to boot.
    -Once booted the blue tooth magic mouse isn't imediately reckonised, takes a while to find that.
    -Once the mouse is finally reckonised it can move around but can't click on anything or bring up the dock. Tried a wired mouse, had the same problem.
    -The keyboard is also not appearing to do anything, none of the shortcuts or quick keys work..
    Had exactly the same problem after 3 restarts but on the 4th after leaving it for a good 20-30minutes it setled down and everything was working okay. However this is a recurring problem as I had the same thing yesterday...
    I have a my 10.5.8 system backed up on an external so I am running from that at the moment. Don't want to go back to snowy til these problems are solved.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    Try Safe Mode (It will take more time to startup in Safe Mode because it runs a directory check.)
    Let us know.
