I upgraded my ubuntu 64 bit from 10.04 to 10.10 using the update manager on my Laptop ASUS, F80Series, 4Gb Ram, CPU Duo T8100. Ubuntu 10.10 could never boot: it always gets stuck. I tried the "recovery mode". The last two messages written, before getting stuck are:
[1.729408 ] NET: Registered Protocol Family 1
[1.730110] Registered Taskstat Version 1
I'll say up front I'm still new to Ubuntu, so if I've missed anything obvious please forgive me. I chose to upgrade my 9.10 installation to 10.04 via the update manager. Especially since I was going to be gone for long periods of time, this seemed like a good idea.
Downloading went fine, but I had to leave for a two day trip once I clicked install. When I returned, I noticed the machine was still on the purple loading screen with four dots. When I shut it down and rebooted, it got to the same screen. Pressing escape to show the text behind the screen showed two fails and one oddity:
(1) Setting sensors limits "Rather than invoking init scirpts through /etc/init.d, use the service( utility, e.g. service S49console-setup start
Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an upstart job, you may also use the start( utility, e.g. start S49console-setup start: Unkown job: S49consile-setup"
(2) Starting VirtualBox kernel modules No suitable module for running kernels found

New install of Fedora 12 64-bit from DVD on an Optiplex 740 (AMD) with 8GB memory I had to use the mem= option to get the install past the EDD probe, but it seemed to install successfully. Now on boot it goes all the way through the "filling icon" progress meter, then switches to a completely black screen with an X pointer cursor that responds to mouse movement, but nothing else happens. Ctrl-Alt-F{2-5} do not switch to a console login, so the system's inaccessible.

View 6 Replies View Relatedi have just upgraded from f14 to f15 using preupgrade. i am now still waiting for the first boot to finish. the screen is stuck for more than an hour and the last line written was:
Started LSB: Start up the OpenSSH server daemon. and there is a blinking cursor.
I installed F11 x86 from the DVD onto one of my machines using a total of 4 partitions:
1. /boot
2. /
3. /home
4. swap
I then created an image of the first 3 partitions with fsarchiver and restored it onto a second machine (with different hardware). Grub was loaded onto the second machine as well without a problem. The new cloned install will get past grub fine but the kernel hangs. After removing 'rhgb quiet' from the boot options, I can see that the last message outputted to the console is something about the PS/2 mouse - this doesn't make sense as the mouse is working perfectly fine.
Additionally, I can still reboot using ctrl-alt-delete so the kernel/CPU must still be responsive. I have tried troubleshooting the various pieces of hardware, so I'm guessing it's something with the clone. All the cloned filesystems appear to be fully intact; the partition UUID's are all the same. I've even tried changing the UUID's both in grub and /etc/fstab to hardcoded /dev/sdaX , but this does not fix anything.
New to Linux and am wanting to install ubuntu 9.10 or 10.04 on a single separate 80gb drive. I have Windows installed on 2 80gb drives in Raid0 (nvidia controller) .I have installed 9.10 but Win7 will not load from the bootloader : gives me the error invalid signature. I've looked around and tried a few things to get it to load with no success.. is the Raid0 the issue?
If I try to install 10.04 it will hang and eventually errors out, I believe on the raid drive because it comes up with dev/mapper/nvidia_hhfbdccf1..

The machine is a Thinkpad g40, which has worked on 9.10, except for wireless distance issues (the G40 has the Atheros AR5211, which seems to be a problem, at least per the forums, and my distance limits experience)
I get the same mount and chroot messages, followed by scrolling msgs, and then a blank screen on attempting to boot 2.6.32-22. And, as indicated, 2.6.31-22 boots and the apps I checked work fine. On the upgrade, there were several msgs about non supported apps and a grub question, which I (naively) answered as use the package version (and was somewhat surprised when dual boot still worked - but impressed and happy
I cloned my hard drive prior to the upgrade, so can revert to 9.10, but would like to run 10.04 LTS. Any suggestions. or should I wait for a while to upgrade?
I have 2 NVidia graphics cards, a GTX275 and a GT210. My system boots just fine in 32-bit Windows 7, so I know it isn't a hardware problem.Linux boots fine with either the GTX275 or the GT210 installed, but hangs after the file system check if both are installed. My motherboard has 3 pci-e slots, an x1, x4, and an x16. I've tried various configurations, all fail except 1 graphics card installed in either of these slots. I got my system to boot a couple of times with both cards installed in Xbuntu 9.10. Then this problem randomly happened.

I'm not inclined to believe the problem is here. I don't even get a bootsplash, let alone XServer to start. The system hangs after a flurry of HDD activity. Checked partition, and it's ok.

I was having this issue with my server when I tried upgrading (fresh install) to 10.04 from 9.04. But to test it out after going back to 9.04 I installed 10.04 server in a virtual machine and found the same issues. I was using the AMD64 version for everything. In the virtual machine I chose openssh and samba server in the initial configuration. After the install I ran a dist-upgrade and installed mdadm. I then created an fd partition on 3 virtual disks and created a RAID5 array using the following command:
Code: sudo mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md0 --level=5 --raid-devices=3 /dev/sd[b-d]1
This is the same command I ran on my physical RAID5 quite a while ago which has been working fine ever since. After running a --detail --scan >> mdadm.conf (and changing the metadata from 00.90 to 0.90) I rebooted and found that the array was running with only one drive which was marked as a spare. On the physical server I kept having this issue with one drive which would always be left out when I assembled the array and would work fine after resyncing until I rebooted. After I rebooted the array would show the remaining 6 drives (of 7) as spares.
I updated mdadm to 3.1.1 using a deb from debian experimental and the RAID was working fine afterward. But then the boot problems started again. As soon as I added /dev/md0 to the fstab the system would hang on boot displaying the following before hanging:

The installation went well from start to finish. Made it dual boot with XP. Hooked in the Eth cable & went online right away. Then enabled the W/less network adapter - all OK. Using 'Classic', so it's just normal screen after boot. Problem is random 'Freeze' or 'Hang Ups'. It's hung 12 - 14 times in 2 days! K/brd T/pad frozen out. Only recovery is to use master power switch & reboot. NEVER hung in XP in 7 years! (done other bad things though) Does Ubunta have switch like Cntrl + Alt + Delete in Win?
Tried many combinations but to no avail. I've tried quite a few Linux flavours (from Live CD) & they all displayed the same fault!! Before it hangs, I've been able to browse around Ubunta Apps: Places: System: Firefox: Internet: etc. Where do I start to track the problem down? I'm vaguely familiar (XP) with Terminal & cmd line processor but dont know any of the codes used.
I had to replace the motherboard, processor, memory on a machine because the old motherboard died. It worked fine under the old board but the new board (Gigabyte 880GA-UD3H) is causing Fedora 11 (and the Fedora 14 Live CD) to fail when initializing an Adaptec AHA-3940UW SCSI adapter.
I was able to display the boot messages and found that the first channel on the adapter is fine, but the second channel causes the boot to hang. The messages are:
aic7xxx 0000:05:04.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 21 (level, low) -> IRQ 21
scsi6 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 7.0

aic7xxx 0000:05:05.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 22 (level, low) -> IRQ 22
Anyone ever see anything like this on bootup?
[url]
The display freezes/hangs, but the kernel is still kind of responsive because I can hit Ctrl-Alt-Del and after many seconds it reboots.
I can get it (Slackware 13.0) to boot this same kernel just fine from CD; it's only the normal bootup, after the install finishes, that this happens.
I enabled netconsole so I could see the messages, shown below, but there are no errors reported. The display corrupts and hangs at the "TCP cubic registered" message which appears to be unrelated to anything video-wise.
Code:
On boot I get
** Warning -- SELinux relabel is required. ***
*** Disabling security enforcement. ***
*** Relabeling could take a very long time, ***
*** depending on file system size. ***
On the next screen the boot hangs. There is a solution posted here: [URL] it states I booted my VM from a rescue CD ISO, mounted the root directory, and:
# cd /mnt/local
# rm -f .autorelabel
Once this is done you may want to consider upgrading your VM to more -current that has this fixed. I've booted using a knoppix CD, but I don't know how to mount the root directory to try the fix.
I've been having problems with start_udev on my machine post kernel 2.6.18-162 on my CentOS machine. A previous install would work on the old kernelut not the newer ones. I recently did a completely fresh install of CentOS 5.5o see if maybe there was a orruption in my install when it upgraded,t I still have the problem of udev hanging on startup.Using the rescue option on the disk, I've managed to track the problem down to the 50-udev.rules file. Through trial and error, I moved all the .rules files out of the rules.d directory, and added them back one at a time to see which one(s) caused the system to hang, and which ones it carried on booting as normal with. The only one that causes it to hang is the 50-udev.rules.
From what I can tell, this rules file is responsible for letting udev check various pieces of hardware. I think that it is failing whent runs modprobe on a pci device address.Only problem is I don't understand the rules file syntax, so I don't know if I can simply comment out or change a line in this file to skip the device that its looking for.Can anybody help me track down the specific device/line that is doing this?(I've kept the file out of the folder for now and my system appears to continue operating, but I get the occasional problem that for all I know could be due to udev not having a complete start up).
Fedora hanging during boot when new drives are connected.
I'm running an FC12 install on a 750gig Samsung SATA drive. BIOS is set for drives to be AHCI
I've got 3 other identical 750's, two of which have never been used (as in never been written to). None of the drives have any jumpers set on them, as I've read that SATA handles that. At some point, all 4 drives were connected, and I had formatted one of the drives and backed some data up to it. But a reboot left me with FC hanging on load and the solution was to unplug all 3 other drives. I left it alone for a month.
Troubleshooting this weekend, I found with just my active drive and one of the untouched drives connected, FC still hangs. What I mean by hanging is that the blue background appears with the un-filled 'F' logo which filles diagnally under normal conditions. Mine will not begin to fill, and keyboard commands are not recognized.
It almost resembles a master/slave problem, but I thought that was gotten rid of with SATA. I tried setting the BIOS to use IDE-compatibility mode and set the order of the drives but the problem was the same, though I did not try any jumper arrangements.
I've down loaded the live CD for SUSE 11.3 and, using isohybrid and dd, I put the contents onto a USB stick and made it bootable. All good so far.
I then installed SUSE on one of the partitions on my hard disk (Windows is also on the disk). I set 4GB for SWAP, 16 GB for ROOT and the rest ~270 for /HOME.
I set the bootloader to be installed in the MBR.
The installation completed with no problems indicated.
I was asked to reboot and did so, removing the usb stick so that 11.3 would boot.
The reboot failed! I was presented with a black screen and nothing else happened.
I tried again, selecting openSUSE 11.3 from the boot menu. - Again a black screen shortly after pressing enter.
I can boot in Failsafe mode and then login with text prompt. I can't boot into runlevel 3 (same problem - black screen)
Does anyone know whether this is a problem with network configuration or graphics?

After a kernel update action, it seems that I'm unable to boot a system anymore. First off, after installing the kernel, and trying to shutdown to boot to the new kernel, the system replied with INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel. Kernel update was performed from to the following versions 2.6.18-128.el5.img -> 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5.img . The system is a VMWare virtual machine. When trying to reboot, the system passes GRUB, starts initializing and after loading the dm it stops for a few seconds at the message Waiting for new devices, show the following message:
Setting up new root fs no fstab.sys, mounting internal defaults. After this and a few other messages, it displays : INIT: version 2.85 booting INIT - No more processes left in this runlevel INIT: Id "x" respawning too fast : disabled for 5 minutes And then it just hangs. This is the output of my inittab:

The system boots into failsafe, but still shows the errors mentioned.
I just finished installing CentOS 5.2 x86_64 on a Dell Dimension 3100 (Pentium 4 with 64-bit support). On the first boot, after completing the final config steps (firewall, SELinux, time server, etc), the boot hangs on "Starting xend:". I have completed a successful installation on another Dell machine (different processor), with the same installation options (I recorded all of the steps and followed them for the second installation).
My boot commands in grub are:
root (hd0,0)

Recently, I decided to migrate from SuSE 11.2 to 11.4. My 11.2 installation was working fine with two VLANs and several VMs. I went the route of installing 11.4 from scratch rather than upgrading 11.2.
The installation went smoothly. Afterwards, I ran Yast and changed eth0 to a bonding interface. Then I added two VLANs that used the bonding interface. When I restarted the computer, I saw the following on the console: "Waiting for mandatory devices vlan3005 __NSC__". Then after a 30 second countdown:
"vlan3005 no interface found". The solution to that problem was to add "ETHERDEVICE='eth0'" to /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0.3005". Upon restarting the computer, I could see that DHCP started this time but didn't get an IP address and continued in the background while the rest of the console messages scrolled by. At the point where X kicks in and I should have gotten a GUI login window, the screen goes dark. I cannot get to a console (CTRL-ALT-F1 or F2) or any other GUI login window (CTRL-ALT-F7 F8 or F9).
The computer was completely unresponsive. I could not ssh in to it from another host nor could I ping it. I let it sit for a few minutes but nothing ever appeared on the console. There were no blinking lights on the keyboard. I had to power the computer off. I turned off VLAN trunking on the switch port and the computer booted up fine, without network access, of course. I checked the logs but could find no clues as to what happened. I suspect a kernel problem. However, before I proceed further, I thought I would post my problem here and see if anyone has had a similar problem and perhaps a solution.

I'm attempting to install Kubuntu on a new laptop but seem to be having some strange issues. It's a Dell Latitude E5410 with 160GB HDD, 2GB RAM and Intel Core i5-520M(2.4GHz). I'm trying to install Kubuntu 10.10. When I restart the machine and boot from the CD for an initial install it seems to hang for a VERY long time. It will eventually get to the boot options (after hours) but seems sluggish. Once the install gets going everything seems decent except for that I can't seem to get it to finish. I know the CD is good since I used it to get Kubuntu on 2 desktops and another laptop in the last 48 hours. I've also burned another CD just to make sure. The checksum was spot on. Does anyone know what I can do to get this remedied?
