OpenSUSE Install :: 11.3 - Delay / Hanging Of 3 Minutes During Boot Process
Aug 4, 2010
Every time I boot up OpenSUSE 11.3 it hangs at the same "position" for approximately 3 minutes and then continues to boot. Unfortunately I see no corresponding error log e.g. in dmesg output. Hence, I don't know what is the reason for that. Here is my dmesg output. The delay occurs at 20 seconds after beginning of boot process (line 1085). I also analyzed the boot process with bootchart.
My computer: Notebook Lenovo ThinkPad R400.

I have been trying and failing to install openSUSE 11.3 for the last couple of days to replace my Ubuntu install.
I have downloaded the openSUSE-11.3-GNOME-LiveCD-i686.iso (have downloaded numerous times in case it was a problem with the mirror I used) and done the standard dd stuff, as well as trying it from my windows partition with the ImageWriter app.
When I try and boot with the USB drive plugged in my system hangs at the boot screen and the usb drive starts flashing as if it is being read, this continues indefinitely and never goes beyond the boot screen and i eventually take the usb drive out and restart.
When plugging the drive in when Im in ubuntu it shows up as "openSUSE Live CD GNOME" and all the files seem to be there. In gparted it doesn't recognise the partitions or anything but I presume this is normal... Also reduces the size of my drive to the size of the Live CD but again I presume this is normal...
I have also tried installing using the NET iso however I have exactly the same outcome.
This laptop is a Acer Travelmate 8371 and has had Ubuntu, Mint, and Windows 7 all installed from the same USB drive. There is not optical drive so I have no other ways to install openSUSE.

When I reboot my computer I cannot see my Tuner card until I manually restart the MythTV backend.
the problem is that the backend is being started before the drivers to the tuner card (HVR-2250). is there a way to change this.
I figure I should ask here as more people know there way around start up commands. I figure the easiest thing to do is to edit this file:
Code:
/etc/init/mythtv-backend.conf
I would think adding a sleep or wait command would do the trick?

I'm trying to track down a longggg delay during OpenSUSE 11.2 boot. It's 1 to 2 minutes long.
1. I upgraded the kernel to "vmlinux-2.6.31.12-0.1-desktop.gz" a while back, and I'm "kind of" thinking this is when it began. It seems in previous versions (I came from 10.3) that the grub menu always contained the previous version. That doesn't seem to be true in 11.2. Is there any way to tell OpenSUSE YaST/zypper to keep the previous version and leave the entry in grub?
2. What does this message mean: "BIOS EDD facility v0.16 2004-Jun-25, 2 devices found"?
I haven't pinpointed the error, and there is nothing really obvious in /var/log/messages. The drives are there, and the network is up. I'm sort of leaning towards the new kernel. What processes wait 60 seconds? If I watch the console closely for the message before the delay, it can vary.

New Intel x64 system installed with Opensuse 11.1 (like the KDE 3.5 option) and has been running well until today. Booting stops at "starting jexec services". Even while booting under "failsafe" system halts at "starting jexec services". Unable to boot to command prompt to attempt repair. Ran "repair" option from install disc with no good results. Still will not boot past jexec services.

I have just installed Ubuntu for the first time using a USB drive and everything went fine during installation. However now during the boot phase I see 10 or so lines of
[14.24024] ata5: COMRESET failed (error=-16)
The numbers prior to COMRESET change with each line but the rest remains the same. I am extremely new to Ubuntu or Linux for that matter as this boot process is also taking about 3-4 or even 5minutes as it slowly cycles through each error. Once 10 or so lines have popped up the computer finishes starting and I can log in fine and everything.

I have installed "open-SUSE 11.4" on a "500GB Free Agent External Hard Drive". I didn't have any problem in booting since last week that I booted it from my laptop. Also I did it before several times from then when I try to boot it e.g. from an "Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9400 @ 2.66GHz" PC the time between loading INITRD and starting boot sequence messages lasts nearly 30 minutes!(i didn't actually measure it but it take a long time in the same order). after starting boot sequence which is showed on monitor everything looks normal. e.g copy of files would be done by speeds between 2MB/s to 30 MB/s depending on the targets.I used to use the external hard derive to boot from different laptops and PC's from start but I didn't have such a problem anytime.

I have a Dell XPS M1330 with Opensuse 11.2 and Windows Vista Business in a dual boot hard disk.
I was using Fedora 11 before Opensuse, and it was fast and performed well. However I installed Opensuse because I like KDE 4.3 and this is the best KDE distro.
After the last kernel update my system lost initrd, I restored creating an initrd with chroot, mount and mkinitrd from a rescue disk. After first boot, I reinstalled the kernel update, so the initrd was replaced by the new one created in the update.
However, my system is very slow, I don't know where to look for bad configuration or anything else. The boot process took 220 seconds.
Here is my bootchar,

I am working on Fedora core 4 with kernel verion 2.6.11.. I am running a Manager process which spawns child process. If a child process exits , the SIGCHLD signal is processed in parent process and it is forked again. When the parent process receives a SIGTERM signal it first tries to kill the child process using SIGTERM signal . if the child process dosen't get stopped then kill it using SIGKILL. Now,the Parent process sometimes gets hanged and the strace shows :
futex(0x98535e0, FUTEX_WAIT, 2, NULL <unfinished ...>

I am in serious trouble apparently.
System boots up to loading NVIDIA drivers, it shows mouse pointer then it hangs up!
This happened after brutal force rebooting, because system did not responded properly (especially Nautilus). Probable cause:
forget to unmount.cifs a windows shared folder in the network (mounted with mount.cifs). It happened to me already sometimes (to forget umount.cifs), but never ending with this permaenent hanging up)
-tried automatic system repair with suse boot DVD. It repaired something + changed the bootloader. Problem still there
-rebooted--> system hanging up after NVIDIA drivers. code...

I have installed many Linux distributions, but I have never tried openSUSE! So I thought it must be time to try it. I pop the dvd in(I checked the md5 of the iso and checked on the bootable disk) and when I go to install it pauses on the "Probe hard disks"Things I have done:
- Re-checking the integrity of the disk and iso.
- Tried booting with the safe kernel.
- Tried leaving it for ages

I am running 11.3 for about 4 months and it suddenly started to hang intermittently, sometimes many times a day. Once KDE restarted and other times the screen went black. Most of the time it was just hanging and I needed to force a shutdown. The only clue I got is KDE displayed a notification saying "Disabling IRQ #24" not long after it started to go nuts.
After searching around, I figured the problem was with my external video card so I pulled it out 2 days ago and so far it didn't freeze again. After searching around some more, I found many users fixed very similar issues by upgrading to kernel 2.6.35 and I am ready to go for this solution. But now, I couldn't find out how to upgrade the kernel. People said it can be done in Yast but I only see version 2.6.34. What is the easiest way to upgrade?

I downloaded Ubuntu 10.10 and made created a DVD. When I started installing it, I'm not able to do it. I think its hanging. This is what happening: First I found a screen saying 'ubuntu 10.10' and it loaded for some time then I got a screen with a black color task bar at the top of the screen, then after some time it turned into white color and after some time it disappeared. Nothing else happened. I didn't find any pop-up window to start installation of OS..
But when I tried this in my friends house, I found that instead of 'ubuntu 10.10' there came 'Ubuntu' LOGO and it was little bit slow but a pop-up window opened to start installation..
Why its not coming in my PC..
my computer configuration :
Windows XP, SP 2
256 MB RAM, 1.81 Ghz
AMD 64 Athlon Processor 1800+
I want to shift my OS to Ubuntu completely.

i have hd encryption activated on my swap and home disks. now every 20 min or so (not really periodic but definetly reproduceable) my system hangs completely for about 4 - 10 sec while the hd led is on. i have a dual core cpu which makes this even more odd. could this be a side effect of hd encryption especially on the swap partition?

By trying to install opensuse 11.4 / 1 the installation hungsup at a late level. After rebooting the system, the configuration goes on. When finishing the installation on that way, there are no menus so you can to simply nothing. The problem of system hanging exists also with version 11.3 final release but after rebooting the configuration goes on and when finished, you have the menus.

What is the best method for debugging the booting process? Is there a cheatcode (tried debug and failsafe). Slackware 13.1 with standard linux kernel 2.6.35.8. I having a problem with a dell server 2860 booting my build. It is hanging on
[Code]....
Booting my previous kernel 2.6.27.27(different disk with different initrd.gz) it loads the same as above but continues with
Code: loading iSCSI transport class v2.0-870 iscsi registered transport tcp I'm stumped it the problem is with the ata_piix module or the iSCSI transport module or some firmware I might be missing. I booted other pcs without issue.

After I boot up into 11.4, the desktop/icons appear but then there is a delay of about 20 - 30 seconds before the bottom-right task bar items appear. During that time, I can't start any applications. This happens on both desktop PC's, very frustrating and not present with 11.3.

I had some issues with my system hanging on the automatic configuration of the install so I searched the web for the issue. After reading this thread: Hangs at end of SuSe 11 install I used acpi=off apm=off nolapci as the install options and it worked. My question is, do I need to add those options to the /grub/menu.lst or will the install do that?

I just installed OpenSUSE 11.4 on a completely blank machine, empty disks, etc. using a Network Install. The install appeared to run OK, but when it rebooted to do the configuration, it hung. I tried a manual reboot a couple of times, then booted in FailSafe mode - came up OK and ran through the auto-config. Now, it still boots up ok in FailSafe, but in normal mode I get the wallpaper on the screen, but it hangs there.

I have the problem (11.3) that the screen is blanked after 10 minutes (console and KDE). After some searching, I found out, it is a kernel "feature". Since it is a server, which should display network status permanently on screen this behavior is fatal.
I have tried:
- switch of power features vie Grub kernel param: apm=off, powersaved=off
- in kde via screensaver options
- in term "setterm -blank 0"

I'm running a pretty heavy-weight process (Rails tests) that involves several worker processes, in an effort to parallelize the runs. To measure the performance impacts, I run hdparm -T /dev/sda to give me the cached read performance. Note that the disk IO is not being measured, but the disk cache IO is. It works very well on my work machine (8-core Mac Pro running Ubuntu with 8GB of RAM).
The baseline is:
honk4:~ $ sudo hdparm -T /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
Timing cached reads: 13224 MB in 2.00 seconds = 6616.86 MB/sec
In the middle of the test run:
honk4:~ $ sudo hdparm -T /dev/sda

I made a clean install of Ubunto 10.10 on my Compaq Presarion F700, nVida graphics, AMD Turion 64x2.Installation was fine.When I boot, it takes a lot of time, 5 minutes or more.Also, after the system loads I get those applet errors I've attached.

I am installling ubuntu on my old (2003) Dell D800 laptop with celeron processor, using a CD (burned at home). The installation process is hanging for about 24 hours now; it says "copying files..." with progress at 63%. The progress has not changed for about 10 hours.
I have a single hard drive on the machine (... noticed issues with dual drives on this forum, so thought I'd mention).
