I've got an LVM2 VG containing 1 LV running on SLES11 SP1.
I have an entry in /etc/fstab to remount them at boot:
Code:
/dev/myVG/ibmLV /opt/IBM ext3 defaults 0 0
Whenever I reboot the whole VG disappears and I find the following in /var/log/boot.msg:
Code:
<notice -- Apr 15 12:35:55.954677000> boot.localfs start
Waiting for /dev/myVG/ibmLV . no more events
[Code]....
Trying to do a yum update to get everything to latest, towards the end it says this:

how to get around this? I tried yum clean all, then yum update, again but it did the same. I had other deps missing on other servers but yum clean all fixed them -- can't find anyone else who's had this specific issue either, nor an rpm called 'device-mapper-event' or the other things that are missing - am kinda stuck!
The CD-ROM on this computer, my ubuntu laptop, does not seem to be working properly. It works on and off. I burned a .iso image yesterday but today I can't get it to even read the CD in my drive. I just want to read the CD to see if it is the Ubuntu Live CD I burned a while ago or if it is the Vista Recovery CD.
TL;DR: CD-ROM isn't working properly. When I click on the drive this is the error.

P.S. I am trying to get Windows Office to install using Wine because I am tired of windows. I know that open office is great. but I have to have excel 2007 and word 2007 for school.
I've just upgraded to the new version of Ubuntu (10.04) and I've got a problem with the mounting configuration.
My PC access to a NAS server which is running samba. Everything worked great before upgrading

Device/Special file Clairification Requested.I'm reading a short article on Device/special files because it is related to VFS. This article has this paragraph that has to many pronouns in it to get an understanding of. URL..."In short, a device file (also called as a special file) is an interface for a device driver that appears in a file system as if it were an ordinary file. This allows software to interact with the device driver using standard input/output system calls, which simplifies many tasks."
What does a Device file have to do with the Application and the Driver communicating? Wouldn't the order of data transfer be , Application to driver and then to Device file?
mount: special device /dev/scd0 does not exist
View 1 Replies View RelatedI made a duplicate of a Centos 5.5 system disk with dump (dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb). No device files for sdb were created, but I guess that's not too surprising. I rebooted, and the device files were created. But how would I create them if I wanted to avoid the reboot?
I looked around for info on mknod and MAKEDEV but didn't find a lot.
I have created a logical partition (/dev/sda5) and have formatted it with an ext3 filesystem and given it the label PHOTOS.
# mkfs.ext3 -L PHOTOS /dev/sda5
If I mount it to my /PHOTOS directory manually, it does so correctly. However, when I try to automount, it gives me this message:
# mount -a
mount: special device PHOTOS does not exist
I've entered this line in my fstab file:
PHOTOS/dev/sda5ext3defaults0 0
I'm just not sure what's happening; I've never had trouble mounting a filesystem before. Oh and it's a RHEL 5 installation.
why I'd be receiving this error. I have created a partition and filesystem and put the label in fstab. Everytime I reboot the server it is unable to mount the filesystem. However I am able to mount it manually.

Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key. I got this error after: Reducing my Windows 7 partition by about 100gb. Creating a new partition (100gb) and copying my Ubuntu partition (10gb) to the new partition. After it was copied, and pasted, the original partition was deleted. I now had two partitions a new 100gb Ubuntu partition and a 600gb (or so) Windows 7 partition.
All of this was done using a bootable USB with Ubuntu 10.10 and GParted partition editor. Now when I boot I get the "Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key." error.
Now this is a bit odd but I have seen it happen before: after rebooting the clipboard icon is missing from the system tray. I am using KDE 4.* and karmic on the relevant machine. Any simple way to get it back without rebooting?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI use Linux Mint Debian XFCE and there was a large update (lots of programs) I have done prior to rebooting. After reboot, my computer can now no longer find the ethernet controller anymore in lspci, so my wired connection no longer works.
Is this a hardware issue? The green lights are all blinking fine though.
After I reboot my Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS l machine my device paths change (even the boot drive) and this causes havoc on my two RAID5 arrays. The device paths change and causes a mismatch in my fstab and I have to manually mount both RAID arrays every time. It's quite frustrating and annoying and I would love for it to stop. This even happens for the boot path.
Example: my boot path is /dev/sde5 I reboot my machine and my boot path changes to /dev/sdm5
Why does this happen? And more importantly how can I stop it from happening so it stops messing with my RAIDs?
configure my raid devices so it can be started and mounted at start-up.
View 1 Replies View RelatedCurrently using a USB mouse, keyboard and the USB touch input from an Elo touchscreen connected to a Raspberry Pi (using the Raspbian flavor of Debian) through a USB hub and when I query the content of the directory /dev/input/ I get 4 "events" with each event designation associated with one of the input devices (the 4th one never seems to be active??).
pi@raspberrypi /dev/input $ ls -la

If I examine an "event" characteristics using the linux utility "evtest" - example "event0" , I "might" get:
pi@raspberrypi /dev/input $ evtest event0
Input driver version is 1.0.1

Input device name: "Elo TouchSystems, Inc. Elo TouchSystems 2700 IntelliTouch(r) USB Touchmonitor Interface"

which is the Elo touchscreen.
But if I reboot the Raspberry Pi - I can also get for an evtest of "event0":
pi@raspberrypi /dev/input $ evtest event0

which is the USB mouse.....
It appears as if the assignment of the "eventX" identifiers (i.e. the "X") is arbitrary and it can vary with each reboot... which is problematic as I need to identify which "device" will provide the touch events for openframeworks. Is there a way to assign a specific device to a specific "eventX" designation ???
We are running SLES 11 where an iscsi tape library is attached. To load the tape in a slot we are using for
instance the command #mtx -f /dev/sg1 load 2 which is doing very well. But after a server's reboot the device name of the loader is now /dev/sg4 or /dev/sg5 I mean it is dynamic. Is there any way to have a fixed device name for all times?
I built a Raid5 volume with 3 SATA II hard disk drives. Further I have a system disk conected through IDE. During the first setup the IDE disk becomes sda, the SATA II disk sd[bcd] respectively. Now, sometimes the device names change after reboot - why ever... E.g. one of the raid5 disk become sda and so I got an error message during the boot procedure regarding the raid set. Curious, when the system is up and I stop and restart the Raid5 volume it comes up and runs fine. Because I'm currently at work I can't post any more detailed config files at the moment.
View 2 Replies View RelatedThe ethernet configuration files are under
"/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts" such as "ifcfg-eth0:1" etc.
The file looks as follow:
Code:
DEVICE="eth0:1"
BOOTPROTO="static"
ONBOOT=no
IPADDR="172.23.17.10"
NETMASK="255.255.255.0"
ALIAS="yes"
I've set the ONBOOT=no. This means this device should not be activated at boot-time. But as I reboot the machine, this device is activated again. This means the option ONBOOT doesn't work. Seems this is a bug of RedHat LINUX?

I don't know the reason for this sudden disappearance of desktop.
I tried to install F12 on my new IDE-HDD. The installation completed without any errors. But, when rebooting my PC I got a dark screen with error message: reboot and select proper boot device.
No BIOS boot up issue, since booting up using other hard disk running windows has no problem at all. I have set the hardisk jumper to master/primary, tried to re-install F12 a couples of time, but didn't make any difference.
I've been trying since ever to install the new ubuntu on my FakeRaid controller and I'm really starting to get frustrated. After restarting, i get the message "reboot and select proper device.." So my first tough was that my grub was not installed properly. So i ran the boot_info_script.sh that I found in the forum and here is my output. It says that the boot loader is not installed and my Raid is screwed up. I went look in the BIOS and everything looks fine. Ive put the result.TXT from the script.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been testing Squeeze to determine whether KDE4 is finally suitable for my primary machine. Everything seems to be working fine except for detection of IDE devices. My CD/DVD drive no longer automounts and the reason seems to be that no device is being created. My Lenny system detects the drive as /dev/hda, but no such device exists in Squeeze. During boot, Squeeze appears to detect the drive as /dev/sr0 (according to dmesg), but in fact that device does not exist either.I'm actually running the Lenny kernel, as I am unable to compile my Ralink wireless driver (rt2860sta) using the Squeeze kernel. Also, for inquiring minds, I use removable HDD drive bays on my systems to simplify testing.
View 9 Replies View RelatedRecently setup Ubuntu Server 10.10 on an old Dell Poweredge 2650. It seemed to be working perfectly until I did my first reboot. I tried changing the 'root' reference on the linux line at the grub menu with no luck. I suspect the problem is something else but I have no clue.
So far the behavior seems completely consistent. If I physically power the machine down and start it back up everything works perfectly. However, if I do a sudo reboot now I'll end up at the initramfs prompt. I'm not comfortable setting up my dev environment on this box until I'm sure it will be stable. In case it matters the machine is running a single scsi drive and doesn't have a raid controller.
I am running UNR on an Asus T91MT and everything was working great until an update yesterday, my OS froze while updating and I had to do a hard reboot. Since, I have not been able to get wireless, and lshw does not even recognize the presence of a wireless device on the system.
