installing 10.04 onto my HPdv6-2190us laptop.
I have tried using unetbootin to install via usb and get "Can't mount cd-rom device" error.
When i try to install via cd i get a "Can't mount file system" error
I also have followed the following tutorial, [URL] from member dino99 without success.
what now trying to mount partition get this error this is the partition ubuntu 9.10 is installed on and upon reboot error no device with a long string. mount: can't find /dev/sda6/mnt in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
so now that I believe I've successfully mounted the partition how do I direct the bootloader to this partition /dev/sda6 on /media/11076e45-e27d-470b-bb6d-6894f7809a0c type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=devkit)
I have tried using UNetbootin to install Ubuntu Netbook Remix (Lucid) on my Toshiba NB205 and am having no luck. Both it and Kubuntu NR will boot from live USB and seemingly install successfully, but when I select the Ubuntu option, it hangs and drops me down to BusyBox with initramfs.
When UNR was distributed as a .img file, I could use Canonical's USB image .exe to prepare the USB drive and it always worked like a charm, but now UNetbootin fails me all too often. I don't really have access to another Ubuntu box to run usb-creator with, so has anyone had any success with any other install method? I am dual booting with Windows 7.
I've got the F13 LiveCD that I was able to boot and use using the "nomodeset" boot option. From the desktop I'm trying to perform an Install to Hard Drive. I've read the Install from LiveCD post regarding the creation of a /boot partition and a / root partition. I've tried creating them without the LVM group and with. But every time I appempt to install I get...
An error occurred mounting device proc as /proc: mount failed: (9, None). This is a fatal error and the install cannot continue.

I had left a small windows partition for some programs like MS Office, (I'd failed to install it with wine :-( ) so I was dual booting OpenSUSE 11.3 & Vista. When I decided to replace Vista with Win 7, the grub was missing, I formated the Vista partition, then tried to boot into SUSE before installing win 7. there was some command line, that i tried the instructions I had found on the forums so I typed
grub
find /boot/grub/menu.lst
and I got (hd0,1) so I
root (hd0,1)
[code]....
I got an error about missing (hd0,1), when I pressed enter I got a menu not the one I was used to. When I chose to boot OpenSUSE 11.2 or the failsafe I got error 17 "cannot mount partition" so found a bit of assistance from the following page: How to fix GRUB after Windows breaks it, and how to edit the GRUB menu - Super User when I press "e" and change root (hd0,1) to (hd0,2) then boot by pressing b, I get the usual SUSE boot screen, then the bootup process stops with some text displayed on the screen. there was a lot of text but the following is what I jotted down: the superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2.
superblock corrupt e2fsck with an alternative superblock
e2fsck -b 8193
fsck failed. Mounting root device read-only

retrying with upper case share name
mount error 6 = No such device or address
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)

I also tried:
[root@servers guest]# /bin/mount -t cifs -o -uid=root,gid=root,username=user1,password=user1pass //172.16.1.212/backup/user1backup /mnt/tmp
but no luck!
I virtualized a PC with VMware vCenter Converter. But when I boot my virtual PC, I have an error.I found this link but I can't mount /dev, /sys and /proc. I have this error message : mount: /dev is not a block device.

View 5 Replies View RelatedAnyone succesfully created a bootable usb with ubuntu 10.04 using Unetbootin? I already have the .iso file and an 8GB flash drive but everytime i try to use unetbootin, it says installation is complete and my flash drive is ready to use (all this took only 5 secs! weird!). And when i open my flash drive, nothing is there and the used space is 80KB...its really empty

View 9 Replies View RelatedI posted a similar problem sometime last week...but a little has changed(mainly I can access my files now): I recently performed the auto upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04 and upon restart of my machine I am presented with 3 screens. The first is a simple "GRUB loading". The second is "mount: mounting none on /dev failed: no such device". The third screen is a series of initializations, i.e. /dev/sda1:
clean, (number of files), (number of blocks)
*setting preliminary keymap...
and so on until it hits the line:
*checking battery status
at which point it will cease loading until i press the power button. The next thing that occurs is it kills all the processes it just initialized and shuts down the computer. I read that this is likely a problem from loading the wrong kernel and I can get into my files (using a boot 9.10 boot key). The problem is I don't know what files to change in order to get my system booting the right kernel.
My old HDD died. I have 10.10 installed on a usb stick. This is a full installation not a LiveCD. I downloaded the live CD and Unetbootin.
Can I use unetbootin to create a bootable 'LiveCD' onto a partition of my new hard drive?
Without a CD drive, I can't think of any other way to get an installation onto my new HDD
EDIT - got ubuntu installed but had to do it at work, so i am still curious as how one would proceed with only a USB (full installation) and a blank HDD with no access to any other computers.
I am having trouble with installing xubuntu on my flash stick (4gb) using unetbootin. It managed to copy all the xubuntu files and install the bootloader on to my usb, but once i reboot from my usb stick, all I get is a blank screen....

Unetbootin - linux version
Window-7.iso
On "Distribution" of Unetbootin drop-list I can't find Windows. However the Windows-7.iso is on Debian. I can't run Unetbootin Windows version here. Is there a solution?
my friend using XP and it was closed because he didnt activate it . he want to try Linux , i adviced him to use UBUNTU 10.10, but after we order the boot we got a loading screen for ubuntu then this error appeared

i change the cd to another one but an error was changed to :.............
I installed ubuntu on my v13 (SU7300 model, not the ubuntu model) using unetbootin.Installation was successful, but when I restart, the boot loader only gives me the option of starting Windows.I can still use unetbootin until I start windows and uninstall it. After that, if I restart, the only OS option to boot from is Windows.
NOTE: I installed 9.10 using frugal more (no cd, no usb, but rather live from hard drive.)
But I can't install it on my netbook. I tried to create a usb stick with unetbootin from PartedMagic 5.6 and Sabayon but the install process crash near the end. Testing the disk I obtain the result that there is a file error. I tried to download again, but I have the same error. I create the startup usb stick with the Ubuntu utility, but at boot time it say "Unknown keyword in configuration file". I have a Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Mini Ui 3520.

I'm using Kubuntu 9.10 with Ubuntu-desktop installed.I've been using kubuntu for sometime now but i dont know much technical things about it. I have two hard discs (160GB SATA and 80GB PATA).I have just installed Windows XP Professional and then reinstalled grub2 from a live CD. Both OS are on 80GB PATA drive.The Grub menu at boot time has "Windows XP Professional" entry in it. The problem is thatwhen i select that entry, i get an error saying:Quote:Grub:Error:No such device - "a string of letters and numbers"Press any key to continue...When i press any key, it goes back to the grub menu. Kubuntu and Ubuntu work fine.When i go to bios and change my hard disc boot order, grub is bypassed and Windows boots and works good. I dont know much technical things but i think maybe its the problem with Windows entry in grub. (something to do with lines map(hd0,hd1) and map(hd1,hd0) (But i'm nt sure. I just said wat i thought it might be)
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a machine which was running Windows 7 64bit, the installation was working fine. I decided to install Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit on a separate hard drive. Now, Ubuntu works great, but I try to boot Windows through GRUB (2, BTW) I get the following error:
error: No Such Device 3624fcb624fc7a67
Tried running grub-update, no avail. Also tried running a repair disk with my Windows 7 install disk-also no luck. EDIT: Also, if it helps, I can see both the System Reserved and full Windows partitions in Ubuntu.
I have been using my desktop as a dual boot machine for several months now. The primary hard drive with windows on it died, and since we have been using ubunto 9.10 exclusively, I just removed the dead drive, changed the jumpers on the secondary drive to primary and did a clean install on the drive which presumably formats the disk before installing. When I try to boot from the hard drive i get the following message:
ERROR: no such device 2eb48bcb-7bb4-4080-b04d-fc32dec8c252
yesterday i upgraded Ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10. During installation i also upgraded grub to version 2. It said that there were two options that i could choose to boot and i choose both. Installation finished with out a hitch. When i attempted restart my laptop i got this message:
error: no such device: 12631218-8ac6-4505-b4cb-a66a1de1814f
grub rescue>
I tried the command help and received a message saying that the help command was not recognized. So i then gave Google a bit of a work out and have tried reinstalling grub and manually coping the grub files all to no avail. The problem i believe stems from how i have Ubuntu installed. I have Ubuntu installed like an application on windows 7 on a separate partition on my hard drive. Looking back on it i'm not to sure why i choose that route, but that is how it is installed.
I just installed Ubuntu on a separate hard drive alongside Vista, and after restarting, my computer booted to a screen that said, "error: no such device: xxxxx-xxxx-xxxxx-xxxx (I don't remember exact number, if I need them I'll go back and write em down) grub rescue>"
After a bit of searching I found this thread: [URL].. I tried the first part twice which didn't change anything, so I tried the last part which was too fix the vista bootloader, which worked perfectly, and now I can get into at least one operating system. Would anyone please help me get a bootloader working so I can choose between Ubuntu and Vista? Also, is it worth mentioning that right before the computer shut down after installation, I had a huge list of I/O errors?
EDIT: After further searching I read that the I/O errors were commonly because of a faulty cd or it was spinning too fast. I think my problem with that was that it was spinning too fast, it was incredible loud and there was a huge amount of wind coming out of my computer XD. iirc I have to go to the BIOS to change disc speed?
EDIT2: I think all my problems stem from a faulty CD. I remember setting the burning speed too the highest setting when I burnt the live CD, I guess I thought faster was better.
I just did a clean install of 11.04. Now when I try to boot the machine I get the following error: Quote:
error: no such device
error: no such disk
error: you need to load the kernel first
Then I am taken to the Grub menu. Selecting anything from the Grub menu brings this error back up. So now I'm stuck with a computer that won't work.?
New install, linux Fedora 15 Alpha. I am trying to switch over to Fedaora, but the bleeping thing keeps saying device/error/cant find the root.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am having trouble getting a dual boot setup on Ubuntu remix on a netbook. The install went fine, but then windows would not book. I had a windows error. So I reinstalled windows, and rebuilt grub. Now when I try to launch windows from the grub menu it says "error: no such device: 0a82ff1982ff0849". How do I go about fixing that? I can boot to Ubuntu fine now.
