Ubuntu :: Errors Received When Trying To Boot From USB
Dec 13, 2010
I have a relatively new computer that won't boot Win 7. After going through a lot of tries, I got a suggestion that I try to boot using Ubuntu from a USB flash drive ( since I can't burn a CD).
I followed the procedure to put the necessary files (Version 10.04 64 bit if I recall correctly) on the drive and tried to boot using it.
I got this message:
When I tried to boot again (from the above) I just got the second message (No DEFAULT etc.)

I have a Webserver (Co-Location) and all runs fine ... since last week. Now there are a lot of RX-ERR shown in netstat and ifconfig. And when I try to upload a external website direct on the server for example via wget, it is very very slow and hangs very often.
RX packets:2919694 errors:990386 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:596420
TX packets:4231423 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
I have analyse the network but I was not able to find a problem. My hoster has checked the network and all looks fine. For example my hoster has plugged-in a pc in the same switch ... and was able to do wget (load external data, like websites) in normal speed.
Since last week my websites were delivered slower as before, too. It seemed there is a network-problem ... but how can I find it?
Actually I can install moduls ... but the server needs hours. So, if you knows a good command-line tool to analyse the network.

i had a working multi-boot system, vista on sda1,2; swap sda3; ext=sda4; ubuntu sda5; fedora sda6; data sda7 - i mount the data partition when using all of the linux releases so i don't have to have multiple copies of music, docs, etc. everything has worked fine until yesterday. i tried to install fc12 on sda6, replacing fc11. it required me to format sda6 as ext4. i wasn't sure where i had grub installed, but have a backup of menu.lst in data (sda7), so figured i could let it install to mbr or wherever it wanted to by default. when the install completed and i reboot, i get a black screen and these messages: CLIENT MAC ADDR: 00 19 XX XX XX GUID: XXXXX PXE-E53:
No boot filename received
PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel Boot Agent.
No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key I tried reinstalling fc12, same exact errors. I then thought maybe the problem had something to do with ext4 partition mixed in with ext3's, so i installed mepis on the sda6, and let it write grub to mbr (i think, not really sure where it wrote it). anyway, i still get the identical black screen. no grub type menu or anything. the screen used to show "DHCP for a few seconds", but doesn't anymore after i disconnected the ethernet cable.........

I set up environment according to BareMetalProvisioningBestPractices document, I think everything should be ok. Now trying to plug in new virtual machine for PXE install Linux. But something is wrong, DHCP waits couple of seconds, and then I receive:
PXE-E53: No boot filename received
PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel PXE ROM.
I think, all services required are started.
dhcp.conf on boot/stage is:
#
# DHCP Server Configuration file.
# see /usr/share/doc/dhcp*/dhcpd.conf.sample

pxelinux.0 was taken from RHEL4, but I've got image and trying to boot RHEL5. Maybe there is something?

I have a Sony Vaio PCG-5A1N (built for Japan) which has a malfunctioning CD-ROM. The bios doesn't support USB external CD-Drives and it doesn't have any USB boot either.The only method, I am left to work with is the PXE boot. I have finally setup a PXEBOOT on another CentOS server and everything works fine all the way to choosing language etc....but after it grabs images/stage2.img this is what it gives me:
loader received SIGSEGV! Backtrace:
[0x8048cf4]
[0x300420][code]...

I have a 10-year-old desktop computer with Windows XP on one drive and Ubuntu 10.4 on the second drive. The first is an old IDE disk, the second a more modern SATA drive. Tried to boot Ubuntu, and got a lot of arcane i/o errors that I am sorry I can't repeat verbatim but there was something about unable to read sector this or sector that, among other things. I thought maybe the drive was hosed. Tried booting into recovery mode to see if I could figure anything out but it was too geeky for me. Then I tried rebooting Ubuntu to see if I could look at the errors again but now the system insists on going into recovery mode.
Then I tried booting windows, which as I mentioned is on a different physical drive. The MS logo comes up and then it reboots spontaneously and we're back where we started. Any ideas? Should I suspect the second drive is seriously damaged, or could there be some problem with the motherboard?

I'm having two distinct Grub boot errors with Ubuntu 9.10, stemming from two different setups. Anticipating that I'll be asked I ran BootInfoScript on both setups. This is the first setup, where I put a Flash ROM card in the Flash ROM port in front of the computer. This setup will not boot at all, and I get a message something like "Insert appropriate media and try again."

I have several NFS entries in my /etc/fstab file. Each entry generates an error during boot (from /var/log/boot.log):mount.nfs: DNS resolution failed for macpro.dpc: Name or service not known mountall: mount /mnt/BaseLines [656] terminated with status 32
This occurs even if I specify an IP address in fstab rather than a host name. I was really surprised by that. The odd thing is that by the time the system is up, not only is DNS working as expected, but the NFS shares are mounted as expected. I'd just ignore it for now, accept that it prevents Apache from starting since some of the server's files live on the NFS shares (this is a development system). It appears that the DNS resolver isn't running when the mounts are attempted and that they are attempted again later, after the resolver is running.
I did an
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade....

I've had a lot of success over the past year with Ubuntu 10.4; however, recently I've been experiencing nothing but problems. It all started with an upgrade a month ago that caused me to experience a boot error. Now every time I re-install the system, I will have a random boot error. I have been trying to install the system on a friend's computer and getting the same thing. I've tried a different download and burned different discs, but I am still experiencing problems with the system having a boot error. Sometimes it is immediate after installation and other times it might boot fine for a day or two and then suddenly it will no longer boot. Is there some kind of bug with 10.4 now? I never, never had this hard of a time with Ubuntu. I've installed it on several computers for myself and other people.

This is what my computer looks like while it's booting. Gdm pops up shortly, and I can use my computer with no problems. More recently, I screwed up something in gdm, so I can't do anything with my ubuntu computer.

Since installing debian 8.2 I have had a list of errors appear during the boot, I get the usual Loading, please wait message then a series of random errors.I think I am stuck in initramfs, then typing exit resumes boot. Should I be concerned and can I jump straight into the login screen without typing exit each time?

I've made a CentOS 5 x86_64 setup last year, around november/december.This system is supposed to operate as a home router/gateway, firewall, nas, small intranet/extranet server and media center.I've previously built a system using older parts (Pentium III 866MHz), and had on it CentOS 5 x86.It successfully served the same purpose (except nas and media center) for quite some time, about 1-2years, until i felt i needed better hardware (more memory, speed and disk space mainly) and 64-bit support.
Part of this intended setup isn't finished (router/gateway, firewall, media center), partially because i'm still lacking a good 1000mbps switch and a supported wireless n 3-antenna card in AP/server mode.In the previous setup, i had router/gateway, firewall and small intranet/extranet server working, with a crappy 100mbps switch (the switch is broken now).the new setup has run pretty well, it had been upgraded 2 times, etc...But since it has been installed, even before any updates, upgrades or repo additions, there has been always warnings/errors during kernel boot.I'm listing my specs, configs, versions and logs bellow. all the partitions, RAID and LVM were created during CentOS initial setup.
Hardware:
Case:1x Cooler-Master CM-690 II Advanced (RC-692-KKN2)
PSU:1x Corsair VX450W (CMPSU-450VX)

My problem, GRUB loader appears when it normally did not and Ubuntu fails to boot. My story, I installed ubuntu on a HP Touchsmart laptop a month ago because I was having troubles with Windows and... well I just wanted to install ubuntu. All goes well until a week ago when my sound was permanently muted through a hardware switch and ubuntu was not detecting it. I tried hitting the button on my laptop but nothing worked. Soo... I tried resetting my BIOS in hopes that it would fix it. I set the bios to its defaults and booted. This is where it got weird. the GRUB loader appeared when it normally did not and upon booting, a black screen with flashing cursor would show up and then... nothing. I changed the bios settings back to what they were and still nothing.
I have removed the silent boot from the GRUB boot line and can see whats going on... a little, the last thing it shows is "Running /scripts/init-bottom ... done." annnd nothing else. When booting in recovery mode it stops after 30 or so seconds on...
Code:
ACPI: Power Button [PWRB]
input: Power Button as /devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXPWRBN:00/input/inp
and just ends on that line. the previous line shows closing the Lid as a button.
I have tried booting into a live USB (as the laptop has no cd drive) and everything works fine.
how the BIOS would be related to GRUB/booting..

Debian 8 faild to boot normally, thowing several screens of error messages. Then it suggested to enter root pw and do some maintenance, and upon accepting my root pw it booted me into command line.I guess, those screens of errors are saved to some log files - if this is the case, in which files shall find it?I tried:
/var/log/syslog - an endless file, yet the records end at 28/12/2015
/var/log/dmesg - same
/var/log/boot.log - not there

I get heaps of errors from Okular saying that /tmp/kde-luke/* cannot be opened. I think it is doing this because I downloaded files from Firefox and opened them then closed firefox before closing the pdf files. I have tried uninstalling a purging Okular deleting the applications stuff in my home directory but it is still obsessed with these files. The only way I have been able to stop these annoying pop ups is by having the application uninstalled or running a starup script that will create these files on boot.

This happened with generic stock kernel and is also happening with 2.6.36.2 zen kernel. Is it something serious? Kde compositing still works, except it locked up few times when i was testing how windows wobble in kde, but not recently.

i'm trying to install 98se to a 110gb partition so i can dual boot with ubuntu 10 for 98 and 100 for ubuntu after the resize. when i tried making multiple partitions manually for ubutnu putting it on separate partitions i got grub boot errors. the problem i am having every time i try to install 98 it forces me to scandisk it then i have to hit space bar to fix every error i thinks it finds wich is impossible to press it 2 million times. now if I format in a non 98 format and tell it to format in lba it keeps asking for a boot disc, i burned one off but, still kept asking for it. if i do it in non lba, it only saw 2 gigs in 98 and when i went to install ubuntu it was a giant hard drive no partitions. i did try making 3 fat 32s 1 for 98 and then swap and linux partition but, the i got grub errors 17 and 18.
the problem is that bios a cap of 130gb for each drive or in this case partition. it's 320gb WD blue Scorpio. the short i want to dual boot 98se and ubuntu 9.04 with 2 fat32 partitions for storage 110 +100 + 80 = 320 also some visuals.

I'm trying to create a dual-boot system, and have been following the instructions here. However my hard disk has bad sectors, and GParted won't let me resize the Windows partition. It tells me to use ntfsresize with --bad-sectors as an option, after having done some checks, all of which I've done. I've successfully shrunk the NTFS volume in this way -
when I boot into Windows, it says the hard drive is the size I set it at. However, the Ubuntu installer and Gparted still see the Windows partition taking up the entire hard drive. So, for the installation, do I have to set the size of the volumes manually, or is there a way to make Ubuntu see what ntfsresize has done?
