Fedora Installation :: F15 Upgrade - Cold Boot Error "Your System Last Boot Fail Or Post Interrupted Please Enter Setup To Load Default And Reboot"
Jun 30, 2011
I just upgraded to F15 and it went well. But at the next and each subsequent cold boot the BIOS reports "Your system last boot fail or post interrupted Please enter setup to load default and reboot". The board is an asus P5N-D. I press F1 to blow past the error and all is well until the next cold boot. Restarts are fine, no errors at all.

I had a machine that dual-booted Windows 7 and Ubuntu 9.10. This past weekend I thought I'd upgrade to 10.04. I obviously selected the utterly wrong set of selections when prompted during installation to pick partitions for GRUB2 to manage. I am sorry I can't say what I picked, but I can tell you the results:
* Ubuntu 10.04 boots fine
* Windows 7 just blinks with a flashing cursor in the upper left
* I do have my Win 7 install disc and used the "repair" option and the command line commands, but the repair disc does NOT see any valid Windows partitions... no C:, nothing. I can't run the various repair options I've seen online because there's nothing to run it on.
* I can see the Windows partition when booted under Ubuntu... all the data is still apparently there.
* I've seen various threads about restarting with the LiveCD and re-running GRUB2 but am not sure I've seen a definitive page on how to re-run GRUB2 and what to select once I've done so.
I would be happy to get both Win 7 and Ubuntu bootable, but barring that, I would like to get Win 7 back with everything intact. If the easiest path forward is to reformat and reinstall Win 7, that's less fine but doable -- I've backed up what I can via Ubuntu to an external drive.

I have Windows XP on one drive "C" drive, Windows 7 on another "E" drive and want to install Ubuntu on another drive "G" drive. How do I when installing Ubuntu select the "G" drive to install to?
Then how to select the operating system required from a cold boot?

This is one of those newbie questions about where I look to find error messages so that I can understand what the issues might be. My Fedora 12 setup invariably always hangs whenever I login following a cold boot. I login to x/g-nome, the screen clears and the initial background appears and then that's it.
I've been getting out of this by switching to another TTY (CTRL + ALT + 2), login as root and issue "shutdown -r now". System re-boots and I can login normally. I can see a stream of messages, I think relating to x scroll up the screen rapidly after the shutdown command. I'm not fast enough on the Pause button to read them. My question(s) then is... is there somewhere I can look to see what those messages might be? From the symptoms described initially, anyone have any thoughts on what the issue is likely to be?

I am trying to setup a ventrilo server. I want it to load the server automatically on system boot so it is running at all times. I have downloaded the server files and can manually start it, but I do not know where/how to make it start automatically.

When upgrading F12 to F13 I had a fatal error when I selected to update grub so I opted to do a fresh install of grub and the upgrade proceeded without any further problems. When I went to boot the system (dual-boot with Win 7) grub gave me error 17 "cannot mount selected partition". So I booted into rescue from the install disk thinking that maybe reinstalling grub might help, but when I ran "grub-install /dev/sda" I got the message that "/dev/sda does not have any corresponding BIOS drive" (I have Windows on SATA 1 sda and Fedora on SATA 2 sdb). I exited rescue mode rebooted entered BIOS and swapped the drive order and restarted. Success!... Well almost. The progress bar goes all the way across the screen to the point the login screen should come up then it hangs...

I upgraded from F10 to F12 using preupgrade. The upgrade itself completed with no errors, but I'm unable to boot afterward.
Symptoms:...Grub starts, the initramfs loads, and the system begins to boot. After a few seconds I get error messages for buffer i/o errors on blocks 0-3 on certain dm devices (usually dm0 and dm2, but I can't get a shell to figure out what those are). An error appears from device-mapper that it couldn't read an LVM snapshot's metadata. I get the message to press "I" for interactive startup. UDEV loads and the system tries to mount all filesystems. Errors appear stating that it couldn't mount various LVM partitions. Startup fails due to the mount failure, the system reboots, and the steps repeat.
Troubleshooting done:...I have tried to run preupgrade again (the entry is still in my grub.conf file). The upgrade environment boots, but it fails to find the LVM devices and gives me a question to name my machine just like for a fresh install. I also tried booting from the full install DVD, but I get the same effect. Suspecting that the XFS drivers weren't being included, I have run dracut to create a new initramfs, making sure the XFS module was included. I have loaded the preupgrade environment and stopped at the initial GUI splash screen to get to a shell prompt. From there I can successfully assemble the raid arrays, activate the volume group, and mount all volumes -- all my data is still intact (yay!). I've run lvdisplay to check the LVM volumes, and most (all?) appear to have different UUIDs than what was in /etc/fstab before the upgrade -- not sure if preupgrade or a new LVM package somehow changed the UUIDs. I have modified my root partition's /etc/fstab to try calling the LVM volumes by name instead of UUID, but the problem persists (I also make sure to update the initramfs as well). From the device-mapper and I/O errors above, I suspect that either RAID or LVM aren't starting up properly, especially since prior OS upgrades had problems recognizing RAID/LVM combinations (it happened so regularly that I wrote a script so I could do a mkinitrd with the proper options running under SystemRescueCD with each upgrade).
I have tried booting with combinations of the rootfstype, rdinfo, rdshell, and rdinitdebug parameters, but the error happens so early in the startup process that the messages quickly scroll by and I just end up rebooting.
System details:4 1-TB drives set up in two RAID 1 pairs. FAT32 /boot partition RAIDed on the first drive pair. Two LVM partitions -- one RAIDed on the second drive pair and one on the remainder of the first drive pair. Root and other filesystems are in LVM; most (including /) are formatted in XFS.
I've made some progress in diagnosing the issue. The failure is happening because the third RAID array (md2) isn't being assembled at startup. That array contains the second physical volume in the LVM volume group, so if it doesn't start then several mount points can't be found.
The RAID array is listed in my /etc/mdadm.conf file and identified by its UUID but the Fedora 12 installer won't detect it by default. Booting the DVD in rescue mode does allow the filesystems to be detected and mounted, but the RAID device is set to be /dev/md127 instead of /dev/md2.
The arrays are on an MSI P35 motherboard (Intel ICH9R SATA chipset) but I'm using LInux software RAID. The motherboard is configured for AHCI only. This all worked correctly in Fedora 10.

Have been running ubuntu for sometime now and love its functionality...However since a recent update have the following issues..When I power on the laptop I get the toshiba logo followed by grub loading with the message ' invalid enviroment block" "unable to load default boot entries". When I then try to run the laptop off a LiveCd, the ubuntu splash screen appears with the loading process bar (horizontal line) displayed..however it then appears to display a black screen with no further activity..Now all of this is via an external monitor as my laptop screen shows no activity right from the very start with just a blank screen....so am really stuck here wondering if its a harware/software issue or a combination of both...

I bought a t770.uk HP desktop PC, which came without a Hard drive as the pervious owner had removed it for security reasons. A week later I got a hold of a brand new - out of an anti-static sealed bag - compatible Western Digital Caviar SE 80GB SATA150 7200 HDD, and installed it as directed by my t770.uk manual. Up until now, things looked to be on a roll. As I don't have any windows OS, I figured Ubunutu would be the way to go (and it certainly is from what I've heard and read about it. I can't wait!).
So I sent off for a CD and it popped through my mail a few weeks back. The problem that I am having is after booting past a very brief view of the HP POST screen, the screen goes black with the error "Disc boot failure-insert system disk and press enter". I've tried placing the Ubuntu disc in (assuming it is asking for that? An OS disc) and restarting, and changing the boot order around, but no matter what I do the error persists and I can't install Ubuntu. I really want to get this PC running with Ubuntu.

If I boot my CentOS 5.2 box, then insert a Verizon aircard, then modprobe usbserial I end up with /dev/ttyUSB0 and 1. If I then warm boot (init 6) the machine and modprobe usbserial /dev/ttyUSB0 and 1 are there and usable. If I cold boot the machine (init 0 and power on) then modprobe usbserial, /dev/ttyUSB0 and 1 do not show up. If I unplug the aircard and plug it back in, the devices are created and ready to go. The machine will be in an unattended environment and I can not remove the device on every power up. How can I get the machine to find the usb device on the cold boot vs the warm boot? I don't understand why there is a difference to begin with...

I have full hdd encryption with a rather long key. The thing is the FBI might just show up at my house one day and have a warrant for my PC, and who wants the government looken through there life? I have a few plans on geting my PC shut down before they can get there hands on it. This is all well and good, but if they can sniff my key from the ram It doesn't matter what my key is or weather they find the computer on or off. Anyhow, i was wondering if there was some way I could add a script to the shut-down process that would over-write the ram.

While in the 10.10 Live CD, using the chroot method in the grub2 help proved unsuccessful and returned this pastebinned result. The system is 10.04 64-bit running an nvidia card and sporadically froze with increasing frequency. No resolution to the freezing could be found online, which seemed associated with any of nvidia, usb, flash or even firefox. Can someone suggest an alternative to restore to bootable condition and resume upgrade without having to reinstall and wipe the drive? I also followed the copy alternative to the chroot method in the grub2 help and still get the same core dump for chroot and device not found error for upgrade-grub as posted in pastebin. I'm still running off of the 64-bit 10.10 Live CD.
Skimming other "general error mounting filesystems" topics in this section, I realise I may have to bite the bullet and cut my losses, since those other users seemed to settle for a reinstall. Any final advice out there I can try out?

Basically my problem can be neatly summed up as the problem described at both here and here. I can only presume it's a rather uncommon problem to do with a particular hardware setup since I can't find any widespread bug reports of it, but it is (on my system at least) highly replicable. I can reboot my system from Natty and it either one of two scenarios. It can reboot the system (as first asked) then reboot again in the middle of POST and splurge an error about interrupting POST at me (and keep giving me this error every reboot till I go into the bios and resave some settings).
Alternatively, it can get all the way into grub, where I can dual boot into Windows, windows will get some arbritary point in (usually the login screen give or take 10 seconds) and then reboot at random. It's not even a windows crash since I've disabled auto-reboot.I'm not sure what's causing it but I can only presume it's something at the kernel level, since I'm not sure anything else would have the kind of power needed to interfere with the system at an 'outside the OS' level. As such I wouldn't have any idea how to go about fixing it, but I can hope that someone here may be able to point me in the direction of potential settings I can change (probably BIOS I guess) that might aleviate the issue till a fix is found.

I performed a clean install of Fedora 15 from DVD and it goes fine until the end when the install program says to reboot the computer. Once I do that, the computer hangs before Grub loads, i.e. just after all of the BIOS messages, so there isn't any error message to indicate what is wrong. I had no issues with Fedora 14.

I have a dual-boot Fedora / WinXP laptop, and the F13 upgrade failed soon after the 'upgrade' option was selected in the menu.The problem was that the installer could not recognise the ...ntfs-3g.. entry for WinXP in /etc/fstab.The fix is simply to change this entry to ...ntfs... and the install will then proceed OK.

I managed somehow to successfully install a dual boot with Ubuntu 9.02 and Windows XP. Ubuntu was on a PATA drive and the WinXP was on a SATA drive. The SATA drive was configured to boot first. As I was having problems with Ubuntu I booted into WinXP, re-formatted the PATA drive, then restarted the computer and installed Ubuntu 9.10. It all went well.I rebooted the machine and the following message was on the screen:
GRUB Loading stage1.5.GRUB Loading, please wait....Error 17
I rebooted, changed the boot order so that the PATA disk (Ubuntu) started first, then the SATA(WinXP). Ubuntu loaded up the dual boot screen.I chose WINXP, but I was greeted with a black screen.I rebooted again and chose to load Ubuntu, which it did without a hitch.what I should do to restore my access to WinXP? Or should I start again? If so, how?

I'm trying to install Fedora onto a computer that has Windows XP on the first of two SATA drives. Windows 7 is on the second drive.
I installed Fedora no problems on a 14 gig free space I created on the first drive and told it where and what my other OS's were. Fine so far. I didn't tell it to overwrite the MBR on the XP (first) drive. I took the second option which I "think" put the boot loader on the fedora partition.
All good - till I rebooted and I just saw my Windows 7 loader with my options for XP and Windows 7 but no Fedora.
So, if I overwrite the MBR on the first drive, will that mean I can't access my Windows 7 installation?
How SHOULD I set up the boot loader?

I've put a script in the "startup application preference". He load fine when i close and open my session, but he didn't load if i reboot or wake up before opening my session.That's the command i've write in the "startup application preference" : sh /home/myname/intuos.sh(The only thing my script do for now are reversing the button on the mouse of my Intuos4)I don't think my script are badly write, since he work manually.

Generally, my computer behaves okay. Sometimes, however, it crashes and is unstable until after I shut it down, wait ten seconds and boot it up again (what I'd possibly incorrectly call a warm boot). It only ever seems to need a "warm boot" after being off for over a day (e.g. when the in-laws visit for an evening and I don't use my computer from Wednesday night until Friday night). I've been poking and prodding the problem as best I know, but I've not worked out what the problem is. The kernel is still awake enough to respond to SysReq and so I can reboot cleanly if my machine locks up, but it was only in the past couple of days that I noticed segfault messages.
Sometimes Chromium will crash out and refuse to restart after that because of segfaults. Sometimes X locks up and I can't switch to another terminal. Sometimes X just restarts itself (normally alternating between Ctrl+Alt+F7 and F8), but once that happens then X won't stay stable. I've also once seen some "preload" command segfault on TTY1 (not sure which one it was). I've run memtest a couple of times and it passes a couple of iterations each time before I finish it. I've moved my memory around in case it isn't seating properly. I've tried hammering the processor with some of the performance testing in Parted Magic. I've swapped out the graphics card (partly to see if it was sending bad messages, because I've had other problems - reported in other threads) with no effect. The BIOS is still keeping the time, so it wouldn't seem to be anything battery related (plus the mobo is only about a year old).
I can't work out what causes it, but if I power off, wait and power on again then everything is fine. The only stack traces I've seen have been "segfault at 8 ip ..... error 4 in libstdc++.so.6.0.14" and "/usr/bin/Xorg - corrupted doubly linked list". Google wasn't much help, because so many segfault questions are people working with their own apps that they're writing (where it is their mistake) or some desktop app (where it is still the same type of mistake, but it can be run through GBD, unlike the entire OS). I'm running openSUSE 11.4 with all the latest updates, plus Gnome 3.

I have installed openSuSE 11.4 32-bit on my PC. Installation went okay, but when I shut down the system and started later it does not load.
My computers have;
- Intel Pentium Dual Core processors
- Asus motherboards
- Onboard VGA, Sound, NW
- 2 GB DDR2 RAM
- 80 GB SATA HDD
code....
What happens is, the first screen appear (where it instructs to press DEL to go to BIOS), then the system hangs us displaying "Error Loading Operating System". There nothing works, except the CTRL+ALT+DEL. Press CTRL+ALT+DEL, same cycle repeats.

I'm trying to do exactly this: [URL] the first time i did it, I made it and everything was fine, except I didn't know what "installation size" meant in wubi, so as I selected 3GB, the rest of the partition was left empty and I didn't have enough space for ubuntu. Then I formatted the partition again and reinstalled ubuntu. Since then while it's booting, I get the message Disk boot failure insert system disk and press enter. I tried reinstalling many times, but I still get this message..
