General :: Kickstart Installation Fails With Error Failed To Read Rpm Header?

Dec 16, 2010

I am running into a strange problem where kickstart installation fails with Error failed to read Rpm header, This happens when installation starts formatting of disk is also completed some of the rpms installed and then suddenly installer stalls with failed to read rpm header.

I have kept kickstart and install media on same host. I have changed the install media from http/nfs/ftp just to check is there any problem with the media but no luck.

However same installation with the same kickstart file works fine when both install media and ks file is kept on another linux host.

I am using RHEL 4 ,I do checked /var/log/messages it does not give any information on the failure and this started happening recently till that i was using the same server for my linux deployment.

Note: pxe setup, boot server ,install media and ks file all are in same server.

General :: Read Swap Header Failed Invalid Argument (F12)

Aug 25, 2010

When I boot, after startup and before I log on, an error icon appears. I click - it shows a summary of the material that normally rolls by on a unix startup. One item is checked. It says:

Code:
Enabling /etc/fstab swaps: swapon: /dev/mapping/vg_knox-lv_swap:
read swap header failed: invalid argument
I have 1 disk - it has 2 partitions - one an 83 type with a file system in it, holds the kernel, mounts at /boot.

The second partition is an 8e type contains a volume group logically split between lv_root and lv_swap and physically located on sda2. As I understand it, the system is having trouble processing the commands for lv_swap. I am tempted to mess with these commands, but don't have enough know how to do so and am short on the time required to learn enough to master this subject.

Fedora Installation :: FED13 Kickstart - Client Failed - Loader Failed To Mount

Jun 27, 2010

I have configured the remote installation of Fedora 13 with kickstart with nfs installation method. All work ok until I boot the Fedora 13 client system.

Fed13 client system receives the IP address from dhcp, receives the loader, loads vmlinuz and initrd.img from tftp, load anaconda, configures the network and dev eth0, mounts nfs server to load kickstart file, loads kickstart file (language...) but when it tries to mount nfs server to install from Fedora 13 installation tree it fails.

First, I thought that I had an error on my NFS configuration but I was wrong. I opened tty with ALT+F4 on the Fedora 13 client and I sew this error:

Code:

Is this a bug or can I modify anything to correct this error? How?

Ubuntu Installation :: 11.04 Failed - Crashed Computer - Error "Cannot Read 'etc/udev_rule.d/z80_user.rules"

Jun 1, 2011

I have a laptop set up for dual-boot with Ubuntu and Win7. I also have a shared partition which I mounted as the /home directory in Ubuntu. The problem occurred as I was upgrading Ubuntu from 10.10 to 11.04. In the middle of the install, my computer froze for some reason and ultimately I had to shut the computer off and restart. When I restarted the linux would freeze half-way through boot-up with a message saying that the drive was mounted. Before the message saying the drive is not mounted it gave the following error: Can not read 'etc/udev_rule.d/z80_user.rules'

When I boot up Win7 it is unable to mount the shared partition and says that the drive is not formatted. I am also unable to run the ubuntu recovery option from GRUB. It asks me to give the "root password for maintenance," but it won't accept my root password. Would the upgrade have wiped my partition??? Or am I just locked out somehow because it was in the process of changing config files?

OpenSUSE Multimedia :: Can't Rip Mp3 With Kio Slave Or K3b - Libsndfile Error - Could Not Read Some_song.mp3: Encoding Failed

Mar 3, 2011

I am unable to rip from CD to .mp3 using pretty much any tool. Dolphin / Konqueror auidiocd:// KIO slave shows the mp3 folder, but when you move the tracks you get: Could not read some_song.mp3: encoding failed WARNING: libsndfile may ignore -r and perform fseek's on the input. Compile without libsndfile if this is a problem. I'm running 11.3 (KDE 4.4.4) with K3B 2 from Packman (with the k3b 2 codec package) and K3B fails as does the KIO slave method above. Lame version is: lame-3.98.4-2.pm.4.1.x86_64 Restricted multimedia formats packages are installed from Restricted formats/11.3 - openSUSE Community Wiki Alsa works great otherwise, I have no sound issue, etc. - just can't rip anything to mp3 Seems like I'm not the only one who has had this problem, there are a few posts here on the Suse Forum, and others elsewhere, but the resolution seems to be nebulous at best. Sometimes lame 3.98 from packman works for some guys, other times not, etc. Unable to rip an audio cd into mp3's using 11.2 - opensuse.opensuse.org - ArchiveOrange

Hardware :: Error Mounting - Failed To Read Last Sector (3907027119): Invalid Argument

Sep 7, 2010

I'm trying to mount my new Western Digital Elements 2tb hard drive, but every time I try to plug it into the computer I get this error message:

Quote:

Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 12: Failed to read last sector (3907027119): Invalid argument

HINTS: Either the volume is a RAID/LDM but it wasn't setup yet, or it was not setup correctly (e.g. by not using mdadm --build ...), or a wrong device is tried to be mounted, or the partition table is corrupt (partition is smaller than NTFS),

[code].....

But when I tried opening the hard drive from nautilus I still got the same error message as above (no other volumes was connected at the time). I've also tried opening and watching it in GParted, and I can see it there as a volume that's not allocated. When I tried to allocate the hard it I got the message that it had no partition table. And that I cold make one. I tried and Ubuntu suggested to make a MS-DOS partition table for it. But there I got a little scared as I've not done this before. The external hard drive is brand new and was brought today. And I don't have the possibility to test it with Windows or Mac as I'm using Linux only on my machines.

CentOS 5 :: KickStart Fails With 5.5 Version

I have been using the same kickstart more or less since release 5.2 but it fails with 5.5. It looks like it is good all the way to the final stages. Does anyone know what has changed in anaconda for this release? I think the first boot process has changed as well.

Software :: Boot Failure - Failed Command: READ FPDMA QUEUED" Error At Startup

Apr 22, 2011

I have a netbook with a 150GB hard drive in it. A while ago I dropped my netbook and it wouldn't boot. Had a "failed command: READ FPDMA QUEUED" error at startup. So naturally I went and reinstalled. Reinstalling worked fine and I had my computer back. What I didn't account for was the fact that anytime it lost power and didn't shut down properly, I'd get the same error. I can't seem to recover my data either. Can't get any live disks to mount the hard drive after this error but for some reason I can still reinstall Crunchbang (essentially debian). Now I know there are bad sectors or something because when I try to use the disk that came with the netbook with an image of Windows XP that writes to the entire hard drive it throws an error but linux will avoid this I suppose when installing.

Now all of this is to say, being a laptop, several times I have left it on overnight when I fall asleep working or have to run into to town and it'll die and then I lose all my data, rather irritating. What's causing this error? What can I do to prevent it besides getting a new hard drive? If I can't prevent it from happening in the future is there a way to recover the data off the hard drive? Here's the section of the boot log that contains the error: [url]

Ubuntu Installation :: Installer Fails To Read Pre-existent Partition Table?

So I decided to reinstall my 10.10 to undo the 'encrypted home folder feature.' I know are other ways to undo the encryption, but for various reasons I'd rather just do a quick reinstall and start fresh.Currently, I dual boot linux and windows, each with their respective partitions. There is also a storage partition that is fat32 to swap files between the two OSes. So the partitions are:

Software :: Up2date Fails Header Download For Nagios-0-2.12-9.el4.i386.hdr

Aug 3, 2011

I'm trying to up2date an RHEL4 ES (i386/i686, 32-bit) system. It always fails with:

Quote:

The thing is, when I look in the package lists, that precise version of nagios (nagios-0-2.12-9.el4.i386.hdr) is out-of-date. The version actually in the repositories (I checked several mirrors) is nagios-0-2.12-10.el4.i386.hdr.

I tried clearing the up2date/yum caches - they just rebuilt and came back to the same error.

What can I check to see what may be outdated, or otherwise reconcile this mismatch in some dependency as compared to the actual package version available?

This is preventing me from up2date'ing any package at all on the server, even those with no relation whatsoever to nagios.

Ubuntu Installation :: Failed Upgrade: Partition Locked As Read-only?

Nov 26, 2010

I was updating from 10.04 to 10.10 earlier today when my laptop shutoff in the middle. I fixed a grub error by reinstalling it with a live-cd, and found out I had a "kernel panic-not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on" waiting for me. I booted an alternative kernel and tried fixing things from there, but got "general error mounting filesystem". So, I tried a live-cd and when I mount the partition, it is read-only. I tried running fcsk to no availThe only thing I could find helpful was this."It's probably because your filesystem has suffered a failure - it is configured by default (in /etc/fstab) to remount as read-only in such cases in order to minimise the risk of data loss."

Ubuntu Installation :: Mount Exited With Code 12 - Failed To Read Last Sector

Mar 20, 2011

I am a beginner in ubuntu and only recently did i install Ubuntu 10.10 using Wubi. I am dual booting along with Windows 7 64bit. Before I got to know of Wubi, I created a free 20GB partition for installing linux. But since it was of no use, I decided to extend another partition adding this 20GB space. The problem now is that I am getting the following error while trying to access the partition.

"Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 12: Failed to read last sector (605949951): Invalid argument
HINTS: Either the volume is a RAID/LDM but it wasn't setup yet,
or it was not setup correctly (e.g. by not using mdadm --build ...),

or the NTFS boot sector is corrupt (NTFS size is not valid).
Failed to mount '/dev/sda5': Invalid argument
The device '/dev/sda5' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS.
