Slackware :: Unable To Complete Installation Of 13.0 - Process Hangs
May 28, 2010
I am unable to complete the installation of Slack 13.0 on a new machine with Intel DH55HC motherboard and Intel Core i5 750 processor. The installation proceeds smoothly until the 3'rd CD and then hangs at the FONTCONFIG UPDATE stage. The hung process is apparently rescan-scsi-bus which reaches this stage
"Scanning host 6 channels 0 for SCSI target IDs ....
"Scanning for device 6 0 0 0...
"NEW:
It is not possible to kill this process even with "kill -9". I have to kill the parent process which is Slack setup, so the installation is incomplete. There is another recent thread on this issue [URL] but it did not resolve my problem. How to correct or bypass this difficulty (maybe another kernel? I use the default).

I installed ubuntu 10.04 by wubi. It works perfect until I installed and ran "startupmanager". I find that I can't enter ubuntu, even in recovery mode. The screen keeps showing "rstslog main process ended, respawning [fail]" and other text

When my system boots it hangs at
Code...
and hangs for another 120 seconds. In X11 I have no sound at all even after running alsaconf with no errors. My sound works perfectly in Ubuntu, so it's not a hardware problem. Are the two problems related or are they two separate things? Any help here would be hot.

my system proposed an upgrade to 10.04. this morning it seemed to complete, restarted itself. it gets to the UBUNTU logo, shows "Starting Up" and then.... nothing. it just hangs with a blank screen. when I've faced a crapped out upgrade before on another machine I had to reinstall from an old 9.04 CD and then upgrade again.
when I start that process at the Partitioner it is showing me that "Ununtu 10.04 is installed" and asks if I want to replace it with 9.04 I would like to avoid the downtime of that reinstall and reupgrade process. is there anything I can do at this point to revitalize my 10.04? (and in general, is this a fairly common problem? crapped out upgrades? in my 2-years of using Ubuntu this is the 2nd time I've faced a failed upgrade.)

I'm attempting to install F12 64 bit. I currently have F10 running on this system. I'd like to do a clean install. I'm using the DVD. I boot the computer with the DVD in. I choose the first option (Install or upgrade). It starts the boot process and then it hangs. [URL]
After asking at #Fedora I was given the advice to boot with `intel_iommu=off`. That gets me slightly further in the process. It gets to the point where anaconda is starting. Then all heck breaks loose. It appears the monitor loses the signal from the computer (power light turns red just like if the computer was off). The caps lock and the scroll lock lights on the keyboard blink about once a second. The DVD drive continues to spin for about a minute and then stops. Since I have no display, I have no idea what's going on.

I tried to run Fedora 13 from a live CD on my old HP Pavilion a375c desktop (512MB RAM,3GHZ CPU,160GB Hard drive). The installation CD boots, shows the Fedora hourglass, but hangs when the hourglass is filled. I have used the same CD on a Lenovo Thinkpad T61 and a Dell desktop with 512MB memory without any problem. So the problem seems to be on the HP side. I've also tried to boot with CDLinux and Ubuntu live CD on the HP machine. All have the same symptom - hangs at the end of the hourglass during boot. Anything I can do to pass this stage? The HP spec is here: [URL].

I installed Ubuntu in my PC alongside winXP. I downloaded the ISO and mounted it using a virtual image software (PowerISO used in winXP). I installed Ubuntu using wubi in a 20GB partition. During installation it asked me how much space should I give, I gave it 11gb. Everything went fine. I rebooted but now the computer hangs during startup. I went to verbose mode to see what the error is and found out that everything is ok. The last line that apears is "Setting sensors limit [OK]" and then nothing happens. I have tried every option (safe graphic mode/ demo mode etc etc) but the computer hangs.

New to linux. Trying it out on old laptop. First effort to get off MS OS. Toshiba satellite, celeron processor. Probably around 5 years old. Not sure about the rest of the specifics. Downloaded fedora 11, i386 version for DVD. Performed the media check at the beginning of the install (passed). 3 attempts to install so far. Begins without issue. Gets to installing file 841 of 1091 and just hangs. First time it was file # 831. Have let it sit for as long as 7 hours before shutting off power. Do I need to start with earlier version? Would like to confirm before I spend a bunch of time on downloads and burning disks.

I am trying to install Fedora 11 from a DVD. Not the live DVD, the full DVD and it hangs constantly. I had to wait 10 minutes for it to Find Storage Devices, 10 minutes to input a root password and now I am waiting for the drive shares to be setup. It's already been 10 minutes. I verified the disk and everything was fine. Why is this taking so long?

Decided to upgrade my 8.04 server to 10.04 today. Everything went smooth when I tried to install in vmware. When I tried to install it on my real machine the installation hangs at 74% Storing Language...
I've checked the disk and I tried different ways to install (different language, both keyboard and system). The first two attempts the installer just turns off and the computer reboots. This third time it just hangs. how to debug and solve this problem?
It's the x86_64 version. I'm using the standard options all the time including LVM on whole disk.

I have a PXE server which installed DHCP TFTP AND NFS service. and set them up followed by [URL].
The boot process hanged here:
ipconfig: eth0: SIOCGIFUNDEX: No such device
ipconfig: no devices to configure
[-n eho]
. /tmp/net-eth0.conf
/init: line 3: can't open /tmp/net-eth0.conf
...
What I did try to work around is,
1. Set portfast to all the ports connected the PXE server and client.
2. Edit pxelinux.cfg/default, try different setting in "ip=" (I did not find any menu in the internet which explain to to configure this file).

I have a java process running in background. I have no java dependent program opened and even if I had, this program should be killed if I kill the Java process. top shows that Java causes almost 90% cpu usage.
[Code]...
The only way I can imagine is to restart, but this might happen again.

I'm trying to install Ubuntu on an Aspire laptop with Windows XP. I downloaded 10.04 and burned an ISO image. I boot Windows and open the ISO disk. I open the first choice which is to try Ubuntu prior to a complete installation. The installation starts and proceeds for a few minutes. Then it stops and displays a message 'Permission Denied' and a suggestion to check the installation log. The last few lines are:

I installed the Eclipse IDE using Ubuntu packages. (Version 3.5.1. Package name:eclipse).A few days back, version 3.5.2 was released. I would like to update, so I added the following websites to the list of available ones:
[URL]
I then tried with Check for Updates. While on my Mac installation this results in an update to 3.5.2, on Ubuntu the program says there is nothing to update.If I try to install manually, choosing Install New Software and the then selecting the Eclipse Platform 3.5.2, I get the following error:
Cannot complete the install because of a conflicting dependency.
Software being installed: Eclipse Platform 3.5.2.M20100211-1343 (org.eclipse.platform.ide 3.5.2.M20100211-1343)
Software currently installed: Eclipse Platform 3.5.1 (Eclipse Platform 3.5.1)
Only one of the following can be installed at once:

it is possible to update the packaged verison of Eclipse or if I should install the binary from the website?

Most of FLOSS projects has a lot of code to compile, and a big make process. On my new PC i need a half hour to compile Inkscape, and on my old laptop i need something near to 2 hours. There is a way to put a percentage of the work done in the makefile? (Always there are a hard and dirty way... there is a good, beauty, common way?)

I'm having small boot issue with my present Linux box, which is presently running Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. When booting from a Live CD, Ubuntu 9.xx+ or any other linux variant I have, the machine will come to a complete stop about half way into the boot process. I think this may have something to do with the WiFi card that I have installed. Are there any suggestions that could help me remedy this problem short of removing the card itself?

I have a process A running in the background. When I start another process B also in the background, the system hangs the moment I hit any key. Process A and B communicate over a socket. Iam not even able to do a telnet to the system. Is there any precautions that I need to take while running in background

It goes through the kernel boot up, and the icon with the circle and keyboard. Then it stays on a blank screen with a large courser on the upper right corner. Then the courser becomes small. It sits their for a long time. Then the screen to boot or install comes up, and everything works fine. It hangs during the configuration process. I am unable to skip. I think it hangs during the kernel config.
I click on the drop down arrow and see the fallowing:
ubuntu ubiquity : update-initramfs: generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.38-8-generic
My pc set up is as fallows:
Asus M2N-MX SE Plus
AMD Athlon64 X2 5000
A sata samsung lightscribe dvd
A IDE Western Digital HD (Do not know what model)
NVIDIA GeForce 9500
It is from a downloaded burnt copy. The md5 is good. I burnt it at a slow speed. I do have a known good 10.10, but it starts out exactly the same.

Just a question out of curiosity: Is there a build-queue that can be used with sbopkg to build a complete Slackware repository from scratch?Just asking, because the 32 bit version of Slackware is suited to run on older computers by compiling for i486 architecture. I want to know if it is possible to rebuild the complete repository with optimizations for newer architectures, so that the programs can make use of the features of newer processors, like MMX, SSE and so on.

recently a weird error occured on my Ubuntu Karmic. When I shutdown (or reboot) the os, the flashing logo shows and then the whole process hangs with last few lines of shutdown log displayed. The last line then says this error:
Code:
init: rc main process (pid) killed by TERM signal where pid is actual pid of that process.
Then I have to shutdown the computer manually with hardware button. It's no big deal, it's just not that comfortable and I'd really like to know why this is happening.

Running Ubuntu Server 10.04 32 bit. Sometimes when I reboot it does not start up, It seems to be going through the boot process but then just hangs. I have had a look at the log files and can't see anything, but I'm not really sure what I am looking for.

I have a NFS server and I'm periodically cleaning the cache by using the following lines:
Code:
/bin/sync; /bin/echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
/bin/sync; /bin/echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
during the last days the cleaning process gets stucked at '/bin/echo 2', here's the process data:
Code:
27426 root 20 0 5488 704 576 R 100 0.0 896:06.34 /bin/echo 2
the process keeps running, so I find this more strange since it's not in zombie or D state.

My program is creating 4 threads per transaction. Threads doing nothing but simply sleeping.
Now, when transaction ends, I want to wake up all the threads from sleeping. For this I am using pthread_kill() to wake up the threads using signal SIGUSR2.
Problem raises when I put more transactions(eg. 100 trans). My process gets hangup.

Ever since the kernel update to 2.6.34.6-47.fc13.x86_64, my boot process hangs at about startx time. I boot cleanly at runlevel 3 in either this or the previous 2.6.33.8 kernel. If I execute startx from here (in either kernel), the system hangs at the same place. During the early troubleshooting, I read in another thread (250929) about installing xorg-x11-drv-catalyst, which I did using yum. This led to the failure of the 2.6.33 kernel; yum remove did not fix this. I have carefully followed the instructions in the fglrx HOWTO (updated a week ago by Hlingler) as they relate to a PAE kernel (including reinstalling mesa-libGL), and that fixed earlier difficulties. Hence, I felt I needed a new thread.
dmesg tells me
Code:
microcode: CPU0: patch_level=0x2000032
platform microcode: firmware: requesting amd-ucode/microcode_amd.bin
Linux video capture interface: v2.00
piix4_smbus 0000:00:14.0: SMBus Host Controller at 0xb00, revision 0
microcode: CPU1: patch_level=0x2000032
platform microcode: firmware: requesting amd-ucode/microcode_amd.bin
microcode: Microcode Update Driver: v2.00 .....
But the program itself reports
Code:
# microcode_ctl -h
This program is for updating the microcode on Intel processors belonging to the IA32 family - PentiumPro upwards (x86-64 included). It depends on the Linux kernel driver. The website urbanmyth.org/microcode (mentioned by yum info microcode_ctl) clearly indicates that Intel has taken over this microcodecode distribution, and suggests that it is no longer valid for AMD processors.
I found a reference to a kernel configuration flag CONFIG_MICROCODE_AMD (as a plausible subsititute for CONFIG_MICROCODE_INTEL) that possibly belongs in a script in /etc/init.d - but the above context leads me to suspect this is not true any more. In any event, those flags are not mentioned anywhere in my init.d scripts - in fact nowhere in the entire /etc tree. My microcode file exists, and is dated March 23. How do I get it installed? Or is this completely unrelated to my hanging boot problem, as suggested by the "platform microcode" line in the dmesg output? If so, where should I be looking?
