Red Hat / Fedora :: RHEL 5 Not Loading On Boot?

Sep 14, 2010

I just started testing a redhat enterprise linux 5 installation. This installation took place in a Latitude D630 labtop which currently has Ubuntu Desktop in (sda1) and Ubuntu Server in (sda3). My goal was to install Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 into (sda4). Both of the Ubuntu installation boot fine and work, but when I try booting the RHEL it shows a panic in the loading phase as follow VFS: Cannot open root device "sda4" or unknown-block(0,0)Please append a correct "root=" boot optionKernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)I am wondering what this means, maybe some of you would have a better clue than I do

Red Hat :: Loading RHEL 6 On Machine With Two RAID Arrays

Apr 15, 2011

Have a customer who is due for a new system. AS they just renewed their RHEL entitlement, they plan on ordering a Dell server without a OS preload. Two questions:

- Will RH let them download RHEL6 just by maintaining the entitlement when their current version is RHEL 3?

- The server will have two RAID arrays - one intended for /home, one for "everything else". As I've never done a clean load with two arrays, how do I select what file systems go on which array?

Server :: Error 27 While Loading Shared Libraries - Libdb-4.3.so On RHEL 5

Mar 15, 2011

Recently I came across this error while booting up our RHEL 5 server:

Starting send mail:/ user/ sbin/sendmail:error while loading shared libraries libdb-4.3.so cannot open shared object. error-27

sm-client:/ user/ sbin/sendmail:error while loading shared libraries libdb-4.3.so cannot open shared object. error-27

Also, while creating a new squid user, I get the same error: htpasswd /etc/squid/squid_passwd alok

htpasswd: error while loading shared libraries: libdb-4.3.so: cannot open shared object file: Error 27

The libdb-4.3.so file exists in my /usr/lib. When I looked up for error code 27, it says " File too large ". I thought maybe its because of the number of users. But even after removing some duplicate user accounts, I still can't figure out why the error remains.

Red Hat / Fedora :: Dual Boot RHEL-5 With Win 7 On RAID 0?

Feb 25, 2010

I'm having a problem installing RHEL-5 on my system. I have Windows 7 installed so far on a Dell XPS workstation that came with hardware RAID 0. I have 2 x 500 gb hard drives. So I went in Win 7 and partitioned my disk to leave about 75 gb of unallocated space to install RHEL-5 on. I load the RHEL-5 DVD into my disk, restart my comp, and just follow installation steps. Use about 73 GB as an ext3 partition for the RHEL-5 and have about 2 GB reserved for swap space. RHEL-5 installs, and I'm all done. However, when I reboot the computer, the GRUB boot loader fails to load. I'm directly taken into Windows. How do I recover GRUB so I have the option of loading into RHEL-5?

Fedora :: Cannot Dual Boot To Win 7 After Loading F11?

Oct 17, 2009

I installed Fed 11 after Win 7 was already installed---on my Lenovo T-60 laptop. So I rebooted after a couple of software updates with no option to boot to Win 7. my laptop boots straight to Fed 11. So I was checking grub.conf and it is "x'ed" out. so is menu.lst. I click on them and the message says "grub.conf" is not available. Whats up with that? or is there another place to get to the MBR to give me an option between the 2?

Fedora :: Scrolling Text During Boot Process Instead Of 'loading Bar'?

Jun 4, 2009

This doesnt really bother me at all, Im more curious than anything but- When I first installed fedora 9, during startup there was a bootsplash during the boot process. When the kernal was updated, the bootsplash was replaced with scrolling text (I have done several kernal updates, it was after the first one the scrolling text happened). Is there a way of reverting back to the bootsplash or is it more trouble than what its worth?

Red Hat :: How To Dual Boot RHEL 5.2 And RHEL 5.4

Sep 25, 2009

Environment:RHEL 5.2 and 5.4 AP x86_64, 2 drives (sda, sdb), installing without optional features like clustering and virtualization. I have tried this for a couple of days now and just can't get it to work. My goal is to take the RHEL 5.2 DVD and RHEL 5.4 DVD and install them on separate drives of the same machine. I want the grub menu to give me a choice. I prefer to understand the steps and choices offered me by the install dialog to do this rather than fiddle with grub.conf. If that is not possible, I will write up the bug.

So far, I just get the the error 13 when trying to start the grub added second OS. I have read elsewhere that "Anaconda frequently recognizes the other operating system and sets up grub so you can boot from either operating system". That would be nice. The install dialog lets me choose a drive to install to. I have figured out that I need to check "review and modify partitioning layout" to enter the advanced grub choices. Do I have it install a boot loader for the 1st OS? Trying to add the 1st OS during the second OS install creates a grub conf with no kernel line in the added boot stanza.

Fedora Installation :: Cannot Boot Into 64bit - Kernel Not Loading Properly

Jun 1, 2010

I got a new laptop, this is the one: [URL] and decided that I wanted to go with Fedora instead of Ubuntu with this computer. The laptop runs win 7 64 bit so I'm trying to go with Fedora 64 but it will not boot. I first installed Fedora 12 64 bit from the DVD install and it would go to grub fine but when I boot the fedora os It just stops in the middle of the boot script. When it stops, the last 4 lines are:

kernel_init=0x1fd/0x257
child_rip+0xa/0x20
? kernel_init+0x0/0x257
? child_rip+0x0/x20

I hadn't messed with it for a few weeks and yesterday I saw that 13 was out, so I downloaded and burnt the Fedora 13 64 bit CD. I popped it in, booted the computer and it did the same crap. It didn't stop at the same line but it was around a line with:
? kernel_init
So I guess the kernel isn't loading properly or something. Do ya'll think I would be better off using the 32 bit?

Red Hat / Fedora :: Change The OS Boot Screen From The Blue Loading Bar At The Bottom?

Jun 1, 2011

there is a way to change the OS boot screen from the blue loading bar at the bottom to something more fancy. For example if you take a look at Oracle Enterprise Linux 6 they have a loading screen that makes an "O" on start up. Note: I am not talking about GRUB, I already know how to change the grub boot screen. If so can someone provide the steps needed to modify the OS loading screen.

Red Hat / Fedora :: RHEL 5 Dual Networking - Ethx (0,1) Devices Are Brought Up Be Changed At Boot Time

Jun 3, 2010

I'm having an issue with dual networking on RHEL 5. My initial question is can the order the ethx (0,1) devices are brought up be changed at boot time, so I could bring up eth1 before eth0?

Some background: eth0 is DHCP'd and using DNS, basically this is my primary network. eth1 is an isolated subnet, with a manually configured IP which has no connection to eth0 or the outside world. When I bring up networking it first brings up eth0 and then eth1, what happens is eth1 becomes the 'primary' network of the host and I lose my connection to DNS/NFS/NIS and the outside world.

If I login and manually bring up eth1 first, then eth0 everyone is happy and connections work. So, I'm looking for a solution to either bring up eth1 before eth0 or somehow make eth0 my primary IP and not have it be clobbered by eth1.

OpenSUSE Install :: Boot From USB Connected External Hard Take Long Time From Loading INITRD Image To Start Boot Process?

Jul 18, 2011

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.

General :: Can Boot RHEL 5.3 From Floppy Drive?

Jan 14, 2010

I've installed RHEL 5.3 on a Dell Desktop. I don't want to install GRUB to the MBR. Is there a way to boot up RHEL from a floppy?I've installed GRUB on to a floppy but not having much luck starting up RHEL. In the past Slackware has allowed me to startup the kernel from a floppy using LILO. I was hoping that there is way for RHEL too.

General :: Boot In RHEL 4 With Error In /etc/fstab?

May 26, 2010

shut down my RHEL 4 system with an error still present in the /etc/fstab file. Current symptom: When I now try to boot, everything hangs when "Enabling swap space". Highly likely, the reason is the failure to "Mount local filesystems" in the previous step (i.e. "mount point 0 does not exist" = error due to my incorrect line in the /etc/fstab file).Question: Is there any way that I can still boot my system, such that I can remove the incorrect line in the /etc/fstab file?

Red Hat :: Kernel Panic On First Boot After Installing RHEL 6?

Mar 9, 2011

We have not actually purchased support on a 2nd seat yet, so I can't go to them for this yet, and purchasing the seat may be silly if the machine can't run the OS.

I have tried several times to install RHEL 6 workstation onto a server machine. It has a dual drive RAID filesystem, whose configuration I had nothing to do with. The install procedes nicely but Displays a mdam error 127 before shutting down for the first real boot.

When booting a weird progress bar with at least 3 colors proceding at different rates displays for about 5 seconds followed by a very verbose kernel panic error which mentions tainted swap and scheduling while atomic. I suspect the error that caused the mess runs off screen too quickly to record.

Does anybody have a clue what might be happening? Even if I install minimal this happens so it appears to be a very low level hardware problem rather than a corrupt package.

I should mention that the machine runs on ubuntu 10.10 just fine, but my Lab PI wants to run it as a redhat system.

Red Hat :: Rhel 4.5 - Ntpd And Rpc.statd Don't Start On Boot

Apr 8, 2009

I have a problem with a server with os Linux RedHat Enterprise AS 4.7:

when the server boots both ntpd and rpc.statd fail to start.

looking into /var/log/messages I found:

and

For ntp, when the server completed the boot process, altough it seems ntpd started, no external server is used for syncronization. The rpc.statd does not start at all and it doesn't appear if I issue a rpcinfo -p
The strange thing is that at this point if I manually start or restart /etc/init.d/ntpd and /etc/init.d/nfslock both services start with no errors. Another strange thing is the timestamp for messages into /var/log/messages. How could it be possible to have a line with a certain timestamp and the following with a timestamp 30 seconds before?

The kernel version in use is 2.6.9-55.0.12.ELsmp #1 SMP x86_64

Applications :: No Gui When Auto Loading From Boot

May 4, 2010

I'm a new user of Linux & I have recently written an application using Glade and GTK for a touch screen interface using Debian V5. The software is now complete and working so the simple bit (i thought) would be to get the software to load when the touchscreen is switched on. I have made a link to the software executable using the system/prefs/sessions option but the software seems to load on startup without the user interface. Looking at the system manager the software does seem to be running but it seems to be in the background. If i load the programme manually the GUI works.
