Since upgrading to 10.10, I've been unable to boot the 2.6.35 kernels, either -22 or -23. I've been booting with the 2.6.32-25 instead, but I would like to get this resolved.
I can provide more detailed info at request; the output of lshw, if that'll be useful, or details of GRUB.
I recently got the Message, that i should do a partial System Upgrade. It included an update to Kernel 2.6.34. Since this update, i cannot boot with this kernel:
Code:
Mounting none on /dev/ failed...
i can still boot with older kernels, but many drivers including wifi and graphics drivers dont work there anymore.
i have installed kernel 2.6.29.1 on fedora14. when i tried to boot the kernel 2.6.29.1 it does some USB identification,and then it got hanged and displays nothing... logs are [1.955941]usb3-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [2.054770]input: ImPS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input1

i decided to install ubuntu in my PC,i downloaded the .ISO image and i installed it in my USB. After trying it and all that i observed that i really liked it and i decided to formally install it to my computer in the hard drive. When i reached the partition thing,i selected to dual boot with Vista and select between each them in every startup,when i clicked FORWARD it gave me an error which i did not read(because,again im a noob) so i clicked cancel.
Today i wanted to go through the process again and now really install it,so again i went to the time zone part and i clicked forward but then,instead of taking me straight to the partition phase,it appeard a window saying "The installer has detected that the following disks have mounted partitions: /dev/sda ...." I clicked yes,to unmount this partitions so it took me to the partition thing,once there i selected the option to install Ubuntu with Vista and select between them i neach startup,then i clicked forward and went to the username/computer name process,once i finished i continued to the next part,the installation,but i selected to import all of my WIndows VIsta default user data,after that i clicked forward and went to the installation process,i went down stairs to eat soemthing while it finishes,i came back and it was finished,it asked me to reboot so i clicked in Restart Now.
When it tried to boot,appeared an error saying: Error: no such devide found: #################### Grub load(or something like that) grub rescue: and it was a command line,since there i havent been able to boot into vista or Ubuntu,im really scared because is the first thing related to OS installing ive done,so i booted my USB and ran the trial and right now im trying to find out what to do from that trial version.
I just went to the INSTALL UBUNTU 10.04 LTS application under the System>Administration Menu and found out that in the partition phase the Install and allow to select between both systems in eahc startup option,i dont know what to do,i foudn out that my HD has still all its data(MUsic/Videos/Folders/Programs/ect.)its just that i cannot boot from it. Also in GParted it appears as /dev/sda1/ and a warning icon besides it,also when i go into information, thers this warning there [URL]
I've been having some odd kernel issues recently. A while back I installed 2.6.32rc6 when I first upgraded to 9.04, because it solved issues I was having with surround sound. A few months back I installed mythtv and the mythbuntu binaries as well, although I have since uninstalled them. All of a sudden, I seemed to have issues booting into ubuntu with certain versions of the kernel, where it would just freeze at the white ubuntu logo, while other versions of the kernel would load fine (I think 2.6.31?) but it would display the mythbuntu logo instead (not sure if this is related).
I just upgraded to 10.04, and I still seem to have issues booting with certain kernel versions. Right now I'm running 2.6.32-020632rc6-generic which seems to work, but it's outdated, and I have surround sound issues again. Which one should I be using? Is there a way to clean this mess up? How do I fix the problem of freezing at the boot screen?

When I try to boot from a live CD/USB I always get some sort of kernel panic, most times about USB controllers and other times about cpu_idle. I have pictures of these that I can post but nothing from any logs because this is happening even before I install. I have left memtest running over night for 11 hours and had no problems, I have tried to boot with only one stick of memory, I have changed the video card to a GeForce 8800 and I have tried everything on a different motherboard and still no luck. Would I wrong to say that there is a problem with the CPU and should I return it? My only problem with all of this is that Windows installs perfectly fine on the computer with zero problems...weird.
I had fedora-11 installed and the kernel version was 2.6.29 I downloaded new kernel version 2.6.33.2 and did following,
make mrproper
make
make modules_install
make install
when I rebooted and selected 2.6.33.2 from grub entry, fedora logo came and spalshed, after that monitor started blinking and now its not going anywhere, i can see blank screen and nothing else. If I do ctrl+alt+del it shuts down the system normally.
I tried interactive mode also system did fine untill this point "registering binary handler for windows application" after that the same problem came, monitor started blinking and screen is blank., Any pointer regarding this will be helpful , what exactly went wrong? I can provide more info if u need it.
I have been following along with Linux from Scratch 6.8 and everything has been going well. I got past an issue with GRUB (Ubuntu 11.04 uses a different version of GRUB than LFS so caused some issues).
Now when I boot into the Linux kernel recommended in the LFS book, 2.6.37, I get the following kernel panic: "VFS: Cannot open root device "sdf6" or unknown-block(0,0)". I'm sure this means that I didn't load the right drivers when I configured the kernel. But I went back in and recompiled and chose every SATA driver listed and I still got that error. It does let me boot into the kernel that Ubuntu used (2.6.38) so I guess I'm ok. I just want to know how to get the 2.6.37 to compile right.
I may just be stupid asking this but how do i boot a kernel and an initrd from a cd? it is larger than a floppy so i can't emulate a floppy.

Why my 10.04 install runs out of memory when it has hardly had chance to load the kernel. The symptoms were that it sometimes will hang after the grub screen with a blinking cursor. My user space splash screen doesn't appear either, it was when I was trying to fix that that I spotted the problem:

This is a few seconds after loading the kernel.
I know that I can get information from my running kernel using the uname command.My question is, how can I retrieve the kernel information from the other distros without booting into them?For example, I have Debian installed on /dev/sdd1 with two kernels in /boot. How do I go about getting the information from these kernels similar to what uname gives?

Had a custom kernel (2.6.35.5) running under Slackware 12.1 and also the same kernel on an Ubuntu 10.04 machine just fine, however after a clean install of Slackware 13.1 this kernel no longer works (This kernel was re-compiled with the same .config file under Slack 13.1) as I keep getting the the following: -Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,3) The strange thing is it keeps looking for the root file system in hda1, however the stock 13.1 kernel finds it in /dev/sda1 so the root partition is /dev/sda1 in lilo and the harddisk is known as /dev/sda.

1st referring to: [URL]. I have no paid support channel at Redhat as I am using an evaluation copy. I use a pretty fresh installed RHEL 5.4, which should be very similar to CentOS. After the basic installation I installed xen and xen-kernel via yum with no errors. I can manually select the xen-kernel at boot time. But after booting the normal kernel shows up.

I can't see anything wrong and I did not change/try anything. My machine has a intel core 2 quad q6600 cpu, wihich should be capable of virtualization. It's not a problem of default=1 or default=0, because I selected the xen-kernel manually in the grub menu. Btw: I changed the menu.lst with default=0. Then the system is repeatedly booting; last visible message 'starting udev'.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm relatively new to Linux, and have broken many more things than I have fixed.. I guess that's the learning process eh? So here's my problem: I've been experimenting with the mount command, and have mounted my local file system (sda1) to a directory (/mnt/test). I was attempting to mount an external hard drive, and sda1 clearly was not the correct drive (I did eventually discover where the external was located, however sda1 remains tied to that directory). I rebooted my system, and now the Grub command prompt loads. When I type "boot" I'm presented with "Error 8: Kernel must be loaded before booting". I'm assuming this is because I mounted my local file system, but I could be wrong. Does anyone have any ideas how I could remedy this?

View 14 Replies View RelatedIn an attempt to ameliorate some other problems (lm_sensors, and loopback), and based on several forum entries, I decided to update the default f15 kernel (2.6.38.35) using kernel-2.6.39-1.fc16.x86_64.rpm from rawhide. It seemed to install without problems and when I rebooted it seemed to hang just before completing the boot process. The on screen boot messages ended with:
Started Display Manager
Started LSB: daemon for libvirt ........
Starting LSB: suspend/resume libvirt guests on shutdown/boot
[ 12 ......
about a dozen similar lines ending with
[25.030991 hci_cmd_timer: hci0 command tx timeout
then it apparently hangs
However, at that point I can log into to a console using Cntl-Alt-f2, so most, if not all, the crucial boot processes seem to have completed. There is an issue with the nVidia driver that I will deal with by modifying /boot/grub/grub.conf to re-enable nouveau, but I am stumped by what is causing the hang up. There is a certain amount of traffic regarding a similar problem with Ubuntu 11.04, but no solution other than it seems to be related to a BIOS bug (NFI)
what sub-system uses the "hci_cmd_timer" and why it might interfere with the boot process? Has anyone else run into a similar problem with f15?
Is there a better way to get an updated kernel in f15? I do want to keep all the Red Hat patches and back ports, so reluctant to build a kernel from scratch from upstream sources at kernel.org (and maybe just a bit apprehensive ;-})
We have just installed the 11.3 version of opensuse in a Dell Poweredge T610 with 8 Gb in RAM and two (2) Xeon Quadcore proccesors. Well, the first time the Opensuse resets the computer, after the installation (it was fine, w/o any problem) the system goes frezze showing a screen which reports a BUG ERROR in the Kernel code, specifically:
Kernel bug at /usr/package/BUILD/kernel-desktop-2.6.34/kernel/timer.c:643

After a "button off" reset the machine boots fine and we could finish the configuration of the applications that we needed. We tested the machine by two days and it didn't show again the problem mentioned, and we believe it was a little bug in the installation, but today, the server halts again in the boot process 3 (three) times before it runs again well.We have repeated this installation in other computers, one in a 32 bit version and other in 64 bits version (like the Dell) and only in the last one has repeated the problem, I mean, no problems in the 32 bit installation. Fortunately, this new server is just a replacement for an old machine, that is running with the 10.3 version. Perhaps, does we continue using the 10.3 instead of the 11.3 meanwhile it is deputed?
