Y510P EFI Linux install Freezes

Hello,
I'm attempting to install Arch Linux on my Lenovo Y510p using the EUFI partitioning scheme that the HDD comes formatted with. I went through the official Arch Linux documentation in order to complete my install. I believe everything went well, although I did have to redo a few things a long the way.
I installed GRUB in what I identified as the GPT partition. Upon restarting the machine, I was able to boot Linux using GRUB. My OS appears to boot fine, but after a few seconds at the login prompt, it completely froze and became unresponsive. I rebooted a number of times and the result is the same. The OS appears to boot fine, but freezes up after a few seconds at the login prompt. I then decided to boot using the debug kernel option.
The result indicated a series of errors that look like this:
acpi error method parse/execution failed
From what I can gather, this has something to do with power management, but the information I found was not particularly useful. I also found some references to  '/etc/inittab', which does not exits in my install.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how to fix this ACPI error? My nuclear option is to wipe out the installation and start from scratch, but I'm not sure how to handle the cleaning the GPT.

I have an update.
I was not able to solve the problem. Call Lenovo and they sent me a new computer. I still have to return the original one.
Installing Linux Mint is very simple. Again I was playing with different options for the installation. I decided to create two partitions in the 24GB SSD; one of 512 MB for /boot and the second for / (root). I also create two partitions with the 1TB disk one for /home and one for /opt.
The computer is very fast loading the OS with this configuration. However, playing with the video drivers I lost the video and decided to reinstall. The installation was so easy the first time that reinstalling was not painful.
Here comes the problem: I can not longer access the 24GB SDD again. It is exactly the same problem that I have with the first computer. I can see the SDD disk, and I can ask for the disk to be erased during the installation, but the installation frozen. I even load GParted from a bootable USB and try to erase the partitions on the SSD drive without luck. The disk is like frozen. It do not respond to anything.
Have anyone experience something like this?
I can not believe that the two SDD disks are wrong is such a short period of time.
Now that I have installed Linux only on the 1TB disk, I can notice how much slower is the OS loading from it.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

  • Computer freezes before BIOS after arch linux install

    This is my first time installing arch linux, I followed the beginners install guide word for word. However, after the install, my computer gets stuck before the BIOS. It identifies the RAM, GPU, and harddrive (all Diagnostic lights are ok on my MOBO). Before the install it booted fine, but now when I boot it up it wont go to the BIOS screen no matter how many times I press delete. However, when I remove the harddrive it boots to the arch linux install screen on my USB drive perfectly.
    I know it is not my hardware because I did many different tests (mem-test, swapped out harddrives, tried 1 stick of RAM in different slots, etc). More importantly, my harddrive is brand new so I know it isn't dead because I could partition it when I was installing arch linux.
    Computer specs:
    AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3700+
    DFI LANPARTY nf4-d
    ATI Radeon x800
    2 GB DDR RAM
    160 GB SSD
    I have no idea what the problem is, I must have screwed something up with the bootloader or something. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Try clearing the CMOS settings either by removing the motherboard battery for some minutes or by using the relevant jumper on the motherboard. Check the manual of your motherboard for details.

  • Itunes 10.3.1.55 update on Windows XP install freeze

    Itunes 10.3.1.55 update on Windows XP install freeze.
    I've tried to remove everything, restart PC and try a new install.
    It fails at the same point, while copying files.

    I too am having a very similar problem with cover artwork in Itunes version 10.3.1.55 for my Windows 7, 64 bit computer. Certain Artists or Albums cover art will not show up and also when I try to manually add my own cover to the album it does not save. I can however, view with the coverflow option but its useless without all the cover art. I would greatly appreciate any help with fixing this very annoying problem.
    I've looked into the direct x suggestions and that doesn't seem to be the problem. Thanks anyway, Polydorus.

  • Launching Wizards in Oracle 11G on Linux install

    Hi,
    Just wondering if someone can tell me where the wizard launches are located in the Linux install.
    Thanks,
    Zach

    Hans,
    I have heard them referred to in different ways,
    Configuration assistance, Wizards, etc. Say if I
    didnt want to create a database by command line. I
    wanted to walk through "Configuration Assistant" and
    choose defaults for the quick and easy setup. No worries. Using the correct terminology gets the right answer faster, and the wrong terminology simply means that we have to test and verify the question. Always works that way.
    One definition of professional is 'a person who knows the right name for the tools'. Based on that, I've known come amateurs who are much better than the pros.
    I would like to figure out where to launch the
    "Configuration Assistant" that might let me do that.
    I know in Windows environment, they are located right
    in the Oracle start menu. Actually, if you took a moments gander you might have noticed that the 'Start Menu' is nothing more than a set of shortcuts. There is literally no program 'In' the Start Menu.
    Right clicking on the Start Menu shortcut and looking at the properties would tell you the name of the Assistant and that it is located in the ORACLE_HOME/bin directory.
    And the nice thing about Oracle is that the names are pretty much the same in Linux, Unix and Windows (and others as well) Due to historic silliness, Windows needs a .exe at the end of the file name, so in Windows it is netca.exe and in Linux it's netca ... and so on.

    Thanks for any help.Hope the above helps

  • Failure to install CD 3 of Linux install set

    Downloaded four zip files from the following location:
    http://edelivery.oracle.com/linux
    Unzipped them to the ISO files and then burned the four CDs - no problem and the CDs were validated as okay. During the install CD1 - no problem, CD2 - no problem, CD3- problem - wrong CD was the error message. So redownloaded, unzipped, and reburned CD3. Redo and precisely the same error.
    THEN went to the following location and downloaded the five ISO images from here and burned the corresponding CDs.
    http://linux.us.oracle.com/isofs/RedHat/RHEL4/i386/ES/U4
    Burned the five CDs and they validated as okay. Install - CD1 - no problem, CD2 - no problem, CD3- problem - wrong CD was the error message. Precisely the same thing as above.
    THEN - took both sets of CDs, and instead of my home machine I took them to an ed center and attempted the install on a spare machine and get exactly the same errors as above.
    What is going on - seems like it always CD3 (regardless of the number of CDs) that croaks - how do I get Linux installed?
    THANKS for any help - Ken Cooper

    Did any of you ever solve this problem ? -
    I have same issue with CD 3, no matter what I try it claims to be unable to read the darn thing !
    The packages it has failed on so far is XDELTA / ZSH / SENDMAIL - all from CD3
    I have tried burning a new CD3 copy -> same thing.
    I changed the CD drive of the server. Dunno why it would accept CD1 and CD2 but not CD3 - anyway it didnt work either !
    Tried using both CD's in another PC and was able to extract and view the faulted packages without a glitch !?!
    I'm lost for clues . . .
    Now i'll try fetching the CD3 again and burn a third copy....
    And then i'll try to choose to few things that it might not need cd3.
    If that also fails i'll throw everything away and ask them to use MySQL or MSSQL :)
    Is there any way to copy the stuff to harddisk and run install from there !?
    - just point me to the manual if I overlooked that possibility :) ?

  • Linux Install Problem

    Hello,
    I hope I'm in the right forum.
    I have tried a triple boot on my macbook (http://support.apple.com/kb/SP504)
    - extra partition for Win7 and Linux - installed rEFIt - Windows installation without problems.
    But the Linux install fails.
    (Tried to install with openSuse 11.3) The CD booted normally. But after I clicked on the "install"-Button, a green screen appears and nothing moves. I've also tried to install Ubuntu (10.4 LTS) but after the CD booted, a black screen appears and the screen is frozen.
    After that I decided to reinstall my OSX, perhaps it helps. But that doesn't solve the problem.
    Sorry for my bad english. I hope you can help me,
    Max

    Thanks for the reply. I figured it out on my own. Something to do with
    specifying the directory or changing the current directory, I forget exactly which.

  • Linux Install Podcast does Arch

    The last two episodes of the Linux Install Podcast covers the installation of Arch Linux. I'm not what you'd call an expert, and I make mistakes, well, I make a lot of mistakes. But I do manage to get Arch installed with X. I get wireless working with a rt61 based wireless card and I get my ati radeon xpress 1100 working with both the open source and the proprietary drivers. Anyone interested in hearing someone fumble through an Arch install can get the podcast from: http://thelip.net

    Arch can give you what you want (so can Debian and Gentoo), but the two most important criteria for a lightweight system are: 1: install and load only what you want, and 2: when you have an option, go for the less resource hungry solution (MPD vs Amarok, for example).
    P.S.: I use both a custom kernel and the stock kernel on my netbook. Both load with same ram usage (as only required modules are loaded by udev), just the install size vary as the custom kernel is stripped down for the modules that I really need. What makes the difference is not kernel really, but what you load afterwards. My netbook loads xorg, openbox and some lightweight eye-candy like conky, wbar, etc immediately after booting up, the ram usage at the beginning of session is ~60 megs (only!).

    What would you like to use as the disk (path)? /OVS/running_pool/rac1/rac.img
    How large would you like the disk (/OVS/running_pool/rac1/rac1.img (gigabytes)? 100
    Would you like to enable graphics support? (yes or no): yes
    What is the install location? nfs:192.168.1.11:/el/EL5x86_64
    Then I set the DISPLAY=<client-ip>:0.0

    I Get a Warning on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
    The Partition table on device xvda was unreadable to create new partitions it must be initialized, causing the loss of ALL DATA on this drive.
    I choose: YES
    Because it will not allow me to choose NO
    Then I get the following:
    Remove Linux partitions on selected drives and create default layout
    The Select the drive(s) to use for this installation
    I see

    I appreciate advice heter

    the rpm package, system-config-services-0.9.4-1.el5.0.1.noarch.rpm is not in the first disk,but in second ISO file.
    .../Enterprise-R5-U1-Server-x86_64-disc2.iso/Server/system-config-services-0.9.4-1.el5.0.1.noarch.rpm
    so you need change to second ISO file. or you may download EL5.1 DVD,and need not switch iso file since all rpm packages in one ISO file.

  • No display after linux install on Satellite A100

    Hi All,
    On the weekend I decided to install linux on an extended partition on my toshiba satellite a100. I did a fresh install of windows from the recovery cd and everything worked fine. I then installed linux on an extended partition and my computer displays nothing when starting up - (the LCD has a back-light) and I get all the beeps and it reads from CD's etc. The strange thing is that I can plug it into an external monitor and it works fine. When I start it up with an external monitor I can then switch to the LCD and I get a display but it is very slow and has many imperfections.
    I have updated the bios, installed the latest graphics drivers (ati) but still have no improvement. Since the linux install I have removed the extended partition and installed windows from the recovery cd again (still not improvement).
    Does anybody have any suggestions as to what I can try next?
    Thank you in advanced for your help.

    You ask what you can do??
    Delete and format the whole HDD and reinstall the OS from the recovery CD.
    If you want to use the Linux, I would recommend using a Knoppix. You can get it on the Live CD and its not necessary to install it on the HDD.

  • Purchased recovery disk Vista for Satellite A205S4607 install freezes after files are copied

    I purchased the recovery disks for Vista for Satellite A205S4607.  I had XP professional installed, but I could not find the drivers needed so I decided just to buy the disks. 
    I insert the disk, hold down C as it is booting.  The cd runs, and copies over the files, but once it gets to the status bar, the install freezes.  I let it "run" all night and it never came to an install screen.
    Any suggestions?

    It sounds like it's likely a hardware failure in the laptop itself. Were you having problems previously?

  • Cannot get rEFInd to boot new Linux install

    I am trying to setup a fresh install of Arch on a new SSD on my 2007 MacBook 2.1. This particular MacBook has a 32 bit EFI system, but everything else is 64 bit. The wiki article has some information for installing on this particular MacBook, but the instructions aren't super thorough.
    This MacBook is already running Arch on an old HDD and is booting with grub. I remember that setting this up originally was a huge pain and I ended up installing arch onto the drive through another laptop (a Dell) with similar architecture and transferring the drive over once done. Unfortunately, I no longer have access to this other machine.
    In order to get started with installing to the new drive, I decided to use the arch-install-scripts from within my working installation to install Arch to the SSD connected through a SATA-USB adapter. The installation of Arch went fine and I can chroot to it no problem.
    Installing the bootloader has been the hard part. I have managed to get the computer to load rEFInd off the SSD if I set it up just right (installed as EFI/BOOT/bootia32.efi), and rEFInd can even detect and boot my old grub install from the HDD (as long as the HDD is internal and the SSD is attached over USB). Unfortunately, I cannot for the life of me get rEFInd to boot into the new Arch install on the SSD. I have tried placing the vmlinuz and init images in various locations to help with auto detection, and I have tried various combinations of manual configuration in refind.conf, but nothing seems to get me anywhere. The manual configurations just get me "Error: Not Found While Loading vmllinuz-linux" and the auto configuration only ever finds my old install.
    I'm happy to post any configuration files here that are useful, but I'm not sure what people would want to see.
    The SSD is setup as gpt with a fat32 ESP set to mount to /boot/efi, an ext4 partition set to mount to /, and a swap partition at the end.

    So, refind basically works/is started by the mb's firmware?
    Please post your refind.conf (without all the comments, no manual stanzas!)
    Also, to simplify things, I'm now assuming the ssd is the only internal drive installed, your old install/hdd is disconneted.
    Use the arch-install cd , refind should detect it and allow you to boot, once the installer-system is up and running, please provide ouptut from lsblk.
    Also, mount both partitons , and show what files are where  ls -l YOURROOTPART/boot  and ls -l YOURESPPART/ just to get a better overview.

    Can you verify that you have IO-APIC enabled in the Virtual machine settings in Virtualbox (Settings->System), and after enabling it, try again.
