I just downloaded an iso of the latest CentOS dist (5.3) and burned it to disk. I booted from the CD and received the following error: Memory for crash kernel (0x0 to 0x0) not within permissible range Illegal mode for this track or incompatible medium -- (asc=0x64, ascq-0x00) The failed "read 10" packet command was: Buffer I/O error on device hdd, logical block 176935
(This error message repeats for another 9 or 10 times then it says the following) Red Hat nash version 5.1.19.6 starting Setting up new root fs (Then there are some unmounts which are old /dev, /proc, /sys. At this point a series of steps begin).
Setting Clock Starting udev Loading default keymap (us) Setting hostname local host.localdomain Setting up logical volume management Checking file systems
These are just some of the steps that appear after the above error is displayed, all of the steps that load have an ok status. After those are completed I get to a text prompt - localhost login: At this point my keyboard does not seem to respond, pressing enter or any of the other keys seems to have no effect. I noticed that during the load process I could toggle the light for caps and num lock, but at the login screen it does'nt work. So at this point I'm not sure if I'm having a technical issue or if its just another case of an user error.
I am trying to debug the issue of a desktop that has for the last two weeks started having kernel panics at boot time. This machine has been running flawlessly for the last 8 years, and has had three OS upgrades. I am using memtest to try to understand the issue. The following is part of the memtest output: Reading all physical volumes Buffer I/O error device hdc logical block 0 Buffer I/O error device hdc logical block 15
Illegal node for this track or incompatible media (asc=0x64 ascq=0x00) The failed "Read 10" packet command was /dev/hdc: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 0 Input/output error and similar set of mesaages After this udev checks correctly, and hardware, storage and audio are initialized However sometime in the middle of the boot process, a kernel panic occurs with message Kernel panic -- not symcing : Fatal exception in interrupt
I have 2 hdds, with encrypted / and /home. Besides there are four other (encrypted ext4) partitions I use rarely. In Fedora 11 at boottime I gave the luks passphrase for / and home and the system booted as intended.
Whenever I needed those extra encrypted partitions I mounted them in Nautilus. Now, in Fedora 12 at boottime dracut tries to open all the encrypted partitions, / and /home are mounted fine, but opening all the other partitions gave the following messages in messages.log:
Quote:

...and these messages are repeated with the other partiitions, and the boot time takes very, very long. How can I tell dracut to ignore those extra encrypted partitions at boottime?
i have a inspiron 1520 laptop which is starting to slow down some so i thought linux would help because all i do is internet use, so i download it from another computer and mount it to a usb flash drive like the site says, (netbook remix latest version) then i put it in my laptop and it loads all the way and i press try and after about 10 minutes of loading it lets me try. so that was ok really slow but i thought id install it to hard drive to see if it improved speed. so the next time i start my laptop i get Buffer i/o error on device loop0 logical block xxxxxx so i redo the usbflashdrive no errors switch usb ports and same thing, ive done the switch usb ports and redo the flash drive about 4 times im really getting mad at linux before i even have it installed.
Create symlink /dev/root and then exit this to continue the boot sequence.

loops that during install. new hard drive fresh out of box. WD 320GB 7200 Toshiba Qosmio intell core duo i've installed with this same disk before previous hard drive died. installed over windows vista. this time im trying to install solo no windows disk to reinstall with, F10 only. I've tried other distros as well, Mandriva one 2009, Dreamlinux, and this one. i've suspected hard drive controller went out but i can format and partition the drive. also the cd/dvd drive is bad but im booting from cd fine. tried removing the cd drive and booting from an external usb cd rom, same errors.
im about to deploy and need my computer up and running ASAP. 7 months no entertainment is not good. when i use a linux boot disk from Ultimate Boot Disk (UBD) i get an error of - hda status no response and something about invalid heads dreamlinux pushes past the error till i get the error about cant start x server. about my graphics
i've just burned a livecd (fedora 11), but it doesn't work correctly.it says after i hit boot:
BUFFER I/O error on device sr0 logical block 352328
and then something else, which is similar so i didn't write it down.i read on bugzilla, that is should try to append the boot command with pci=nomsi, but it doesn't work for me
The external hard drive which contains all my photos and where I backed-up all my important documents is no longer recognized. It is a three month old 500GB Iomage Prestige Desktop Hard Drive.When I plug it in, it is recognised as a USB device, because it shows up when I type lsusb, but dmesg gives this error message.

I popped the disk out of the casing put it on a SATA connect internally and then tried the file recovery programs testdisk/photorec and SpinRite, but both failed because they couldn't recognize the external hard disk.
I compiled a new kernel for slackware 13 yesterday and all is going well, except for the fact that during boot I get errors regarding a second hard drive. They are of the form PHP Code:

I wasn't getting this error with the previous 2.6.29.6 kernel. As far as I can tell everything is working fine, but the errors make me nervous as this is where all my data is stored. The partition was previously formatted ntfs-3g and I thought maybe I'd done something with ntfs support while configuring the kernel so I backed up the data, reformatted to ext4 which matches all other linux partitions except for swap of course, and I get the exact same errors.
1. Is there something different in this kernel in reporting errors or maybe something I set in configuration?
2. recommend a good (simple and ubiquitous) cli program to check the disk for errors so that I can run it in both the old and new slack kernels as well as mandriva on the same machine?
I virtualized a PC with VMware vCenter Converter. But when I boot my virtual PC, I have an error.I found this link but I can't mount /dev, /sys and /proc. I have this error message : mount: /dev is not a block device.

When this appears the disk becomes unavailable and I have to remove and plug it in and mount again. After that it works couple of hour and then the problem appears again. Is this a hardware problem?
I have been having a lot of trouble lately with installing from CD/DVD. The DVD reader/writer on this laptop is new. Nevertheless, trying to install Ubuntu onto an exernal HD, I get 'input output error on sr0 logical block (a large number) After a long time the booting proceeds to a point, but I never get the actual installation started, and have to shut down manually.
The CD is fine, says the Ubuntu-checker. I just installed using my sons laptop, and there was no trouble. Question: does this indicate a motherboard failure? A memory block damaged? Do you know of a diagnostic tool I can use to check the reading of a CD/DVD?
i got a Thinkpad R61 with a Matshita drive and, as the title says, I cannot play audio cds. After inserted a cd, syslog shows:
[Code]...
I did't know if this is an hardware issue so i tried an external dvd drive but i got the same errors. To play cds i tried different programs: xmms2, cdcd, mplayer and sound-juicer and different cds (all original if this matter) but without luck. I also tried a different kernel version, actually i'm using a custom one, using a debian precompiled ones (package linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64) but again without luck. Here a relevant kernel configuration:
I'm trying to upgrade my kernel. When i get to the step where i should build the img for grub (i guess the command below is doing that) I get this error: yaird error: bad device link in /sys/block/sda (fatal)Since I installed debian using a USB drive, HDD1 was /dev/sdb and HDD2 was /dev/sdc, the USB was /dev/sda. Is there a way to force mkinitrd.yaird to build the img for /dev/sdb?
After fixing drive partition numbers, I got the following error from cfdisk: Code: FATAL ERROR: Bad logical partition 6: enlarged logical partitions overlap Press any key to exit cfdisk However, I can see all my partitions with fdisk and gparted, I can mount and use all of them.I used the following guide to fix the drive numbers order: Reorder partition drive numbers in linux | LinkedBits Does somebody know whet is cfdisks problem and how can I fix it?
I had found the following error messages one of my Linux server. the file system using for this partition is EFI GPT. Is this cause because of RAID controller incompatibility or Driver mismatch? PHP Code:

I was able to write a script on Linux Shell for send and read data to a serial port. But I�m facing a problem now. If by any mean I send to de device anything else than the predefined strings, stated by the manufacturer, the device ceases to respond. The only way I found its to turn off and then turn on the thing again. Which its very impractical. Its there any way to "reset de UART chip on the device" or send some string based on the RS232 standard that clean the device buffer?

I decided to take an old Gateway that I bought off a guy cheaply and turn it into a file and web server.I purchased copies of Debian 5.0.4 i386 disks (31 in all) on the advice of a friend, the disks weren't expensive, but now that Ive installed all the disks, I'm having a variety of errors

So when i install ubuntu it gets to 47% and than i get this error message. After that the install doesn't really seem to do much.Code:Device /dev/sbd has a logical sector size of 4096. Not all parts of GNU Parted Support this at the moment, and the working code is HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL.Now i did search and i found another topic where someone had the same problem. His solution was to reburn the CD and try again. I did that and it still got me the same messageP.S. I do have two boot options now however. One for ubuntu and one for windows though i already ran the uninstall.
