Ubuntu :: Can't Mount Filesystem After BIOS Update
Jan 17, 2010
I just flashed/updated my BIOS using the MSI LiveUpdate4 utility under Windows 7. Everything worked the way it was supposted to as far as I can tell. Except that I can no longer boot up under Ubuntu. Windows XP and Windows 7 both boot up fine.
I get the error message:
Quote:
Mount of filesystem failed
A maintenance shell will now be started
CONTROL+D will terminate this shell and continue
Give root password for maintenance
I never set a root password under Ubuntu so I can't do that. It also said after failing to accept my user/sudo password something about running Fsck manually. So I put in the Ubuntu installation CD and am running it live. It comes with Fsck but there are quite a few options and I don't want to choose the wrong one and end up loosing data.

When I try to boot to OpenSUSE I get the following error during boot-up: unknown filesystem type 'reiserfs' could not mount root filesystem - exiting to /bin/sh$
This only started happening quite recently - before this I could boot to Linux quite happily.

I am trying to mount a file image, like this
mount -o loop /tmp/apps.img /media/apps
But I get the following:
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
I try ext3:
mount -o loop /tmp/apps.img /media/apps -t ext3
dmesg says:
error: can't find ext3 filesystem on dev loop6.
I've also tried ext2, vfat etc. How can I detect the filesystem type of apps.img?

I've a problem to mount a second BIOS-RAIDset in CentOS 5.6. De computer is equipped with 5 SATA disk drives, 2x 1,5 TB (RAID1) in boot (working properly) 2x 2 TB (RAID1) for holding a VM for a NAS (must me mounted to /nas but it doesn't). 1x 750 GB (single disk) not assigned yet.
The 2x 2TB RAID oneset is assigned using a mapper: /dev/mapper/pdc_ccbjafbfd
De RAIDset is recognised by dmraid en is operational. I can see the partition (added with p1) with fdisk. But when I tried to mount the partition on the 2TB nas it says: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/pdc_ccbjafbfdp1 And when I try to use fsck it says: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/mapper/pdc_ccbjafbfd 36.Filesystem mounted or opened exclusively by another program?
I think there's another program active on the background.
Mounting-commands: [URL]
System-information: [URL]
The problem started at the first reboot after assiging and formatting the RAID-set.

I have inherited a Dell Inspiron 1300 with a 1.6 Ghz Celeron M and would like to fit a Pentium M 765 2.1 Ghz.
My questions are, will i need to update the BIOS after fitting it, or can i just plug and play?
If an update is not necessary, as such, will i see any kind of gains from doing so?
and if an update is necessary will i have to do it from a boot CD?
Also, as a side note, i plan to eventually boost the RAM and install a bigger HD, will a BIOS update be required after fitting either?

I'm having some trouble with my Ubuntu 10.04. It had been working normally, and now my startup isn't occurring normally. The bootloader shows my Windows install and two different revisions of Ubuntu. Upon letting it load Ubuntu, however, it goes to BusyBox v1.13.3 and says "built in shell (ash)" and presents me with a functioning command line.
I'm comfortable with working on the command line, but does anyone know where to start with this?

I have recently installed ubuntu but the fan on my laptop isnt working,
the file to update the bios is an exe, so I installed wine, but when i used it, it gave me a erroe message about not being able to run a driver and so the exe doesnt run.
I have searched for the forums for how to run exe files but the responses seem a little confusing and very varied! probably because it is such a frustratingly frequent question that gets raised
also my laptop cant be on for very long without it shutting down from the heat so I am against the clock !

Something very strange happened. Firefox was acting a little strange, so I decided to restart my system. When ubuntu started to boot it showed an error that said filesystem failed to mount. It gave me an "emergency" command line and told me ctrl-D would retry the mount. Why would this happen? I haven't modified any system files for a very long time. It told me to run fsck (I think thats what it was) and that seemed to fix the problem. Just curious as to what could have happened. Anyone else have this problem? Anything I should try to fix so this won't happen in the future?

when I try to boot into Ubuntu 9.10 the first thing that happens is this:
Filesystem checks are in progress
I have seen this on a few occasions and thought nothing of it, I have let them complete in the past and was able to boot no problem, but recently that has changed, whether or not I let the checks complete I get the following error:
Mount of filesystem failed.43708f-0498-4699-9fd5-1f52df0bc181
A maintenance shell will now be started.
Any thoughts on recovering this partition or at least gaining enough access to it to backup some data?

I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 on a dell desktop from idk when, its fairly old but regardless it was all running fine until about a week ago I got the infamous:
Mount of filesystem failed. A maintenance shell will now be started. Control-D will terminate this shell and start a new one. admin@ or whatever it is you get the point.
I've been trying all the possible solutions I could find and nothing seems to work. I just want to be able to use this computer. I don't care if I lose files, or have to re-install Ubuntu or any of that, if I can just get the thing running again. I've tried re-installing, and booting from the disc etc. none of which have worked. Basically, I just want to erase Ubuntu and re-install it.

I just assembled a PC
amd x3 64bit
4 GB RAM
ATI HD4350
Asrock MB
2 HD WD 320 put into RAID 0.
To make this configuration, I have not enabled the raid from bios (since Ubuntu gave me problems) but I followed this guide [URL] (Official guides) to configure software RAID offered by ubuntu. Everything went ok and it works perfectly but when released the 10.04 and the system asks me to update, you think there will be some problem or leaving will be updated throughout unchanged RAID configuration?

The newest BIOS i can find is here
[URL]
But these downloads are both .exe files The Dell is older and has a floppy drive, but the windows machine Im using does not.
Is there a way to make this as a cd on the Windows machine and boot into that on the Dell? any time Ive updated a bios it has been through Windows.

I have been told by the staff from supermicro to update my BIOS, but they only have .exe to update. I ask them if they can help me to update my bios from Centos, and this is what they said
You can use RHEL driver: [URL] use same kernel driver for CentOS as RHEL. I'm really new with Centos OS, can you guide me on how would I be able to update my software via RHEL Driver? I see alot of RPM and images.

I have a dual booting newly installed 64 bit Ubuntu 9.10 on my machine. It was all fine until today. Now when I boot into Ubuntu, I see the error Failed to mount root filesystem. I cant remember any significant changes during the last session. One thing I remember is I upgraded the system using the update manager which asked me to choose an option for grub boot loader. I opted for its upgradation. After the upgrade, I was able to work with Ubuntu for a few more sessions. Windows XP works very fine.I checked other threads which suggested running fsck, but it did not help. fsck does not report any errors.

I want the users of the other machines, which have accounts in my server, to mount their home directories in the server. I managed to do everything, except that for the moment I can only mount their home directories by being the superuser of the server, a privilege that I don't want to give to the users. Also, I don't want their home directories to be mounted automatically. Thus, from a "normal" filesystem share, I want to: 1-The home directories of user in other machines be mountable in the user areas of the server (I can do that already).
2-I want that the users be able to mount by hand their directories, so that the directories are not permanently mounted. Currently, I can only mount and umount being the superuser of the server. I don't want to give superuser privileges to all server users.
3-I don't want their directories to be mounted on startup (otherwise I could simply add the mounts to /etc/fstab). Thus, does anyone knows how can I give the users the privilege only to mount a specific filesystem?

I was using 9.04 for a while because it was working for me, I decided to upgrade yesterday using the Upgrade button on synaptic to 9.10. Now when I boot I get an error message:
Code:
chroot: cannot execute /etc/apparmor/initramfs: No such file or directory
Mount of filesystem failed.
A maintenance shell will now be started.
CONTROL-D will terminate this shell and re-try
I want to try to fix the problem so I do not have to do fresh installation.

On this LAN we have: Windows 7 desktop, 192.168.1.2 Ubuntu 10.04 desktop with ext4 filesystem, 192.168.1.5
On the Windows 7 system, how do you mount a Ubuntu "/home/myHomeDirectory" (ext4 filesystem) as "drive U:" ?
So that U: => 192.168.1.5:/home/myHomeDirectory One possibility is a commercial product called ExpanDrive.

I recently switched to the Ubuntu 10.10 version from the 8.04 version, and when I looked for the Drive and Volume tabs in the USB Properties dialog, they were no longer available. In 8.04, I used the Volume tab to set the mount point and file system for selected CompactFlash drives connected to the computer through a USB adapter. It is important that these selected drives be mounted as msdos rather than vfat because of the characteristics of the legacy system that they are used with.
how do I get the functionality I had in 8.04 under the Drive and Volume tabs of the device properties dialog?
