Ubuntu :: Alert /dev/sdh1 Does Not Exist. Dropping To A Shell?
Jun 17, 2010I have a 64 bit ubuntu 9.10 / 64 bit windows 7 dual boot setup, each installed on different drives.Everything worked fine for weeks, but after booting into windows for maybe the third time, when I tried to boot back into ubuntu, the splash screen and xwindows failed to start, dropping me to a terminal to log in.After rebooting a few more times to see if i could wish the problem away, some kind of fix/recovery screen came up and gave me the chance to try to update/repair installed packages, which I took.Now, when I boot, I get:
ata_id[428]:HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed for '/dev/.tmp-block-8:80'
ata_id[427]:HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed for '/dev/.tmp-block-8:64'

Ubuntu :: Alert! /dev/sbd2 Does Not Exist. Dropping To A Shell!
Nov 17, 2010I installed ubuntu netbook 10.10 on my acer aspire one with the "install inside windows" option. The first time it booted into ubuntu properly and completed the installation, then it automatically restarted and now when I try to boot ubuntu, I get the following error message:
Code:
Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:
- Boot args (cat/proc/cmdline)
- Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
- Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?)

Ubuntu Installation :: Root Disk Does Not Exist - Dropping To Shell
Oct 13, 2010Just tried installing Ubuntu 10.10 from a USB device on my Windows 7 machine but something goes wrong. Far into the installation the computer restarts, asks me which operating system I want to start (it had already done this once before) and I choose Ubuntu. Then I get three alternatives:
Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.35-22-generic
Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.35-22-generic (recovery mode)
Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sdb1)
I pick the top choice, and get the following message:
ALERT! /host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk does not exist. Dropping to a shell.
If I start recovery-mode i get the same message. There's some text above the message that reads "new low speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address"... Could there be a problem with the usb-drive? If I remove the USB drive I get the message: Gave up waiting for root device.

Ubuntu :: Waiting For Root Device - Dropping To Shell
Nov 29, 2010I was upgrading online through my android phone's easytether app. My phone rang, and I was bounced offline. When I came back the upgrade did not resume, and when I tried to start over, dpkg and whatever was busy so I closed all my windows and tried to reboot. This is where I ended up: Here is a screenshot:

Mar 9, 2011First off I just want to inform you that I've done a lot of research, used countless of hours on Google trying to figure out how to solve this problem I'm having. I'm installing Ubuntu 10.10 64bit with Wubi on the same partition I have Windows 7. And the error I get is the: "Alert! /dev/sdb1 does not exist."
I'm able to get into Ubuntu after waiting a couple of minutes and writing "exit" in the "initramfs".
This is what I've tried:
- Installing without Wubi, still the same problem
- Adding pci=nocrs
- Adding rootdelay=90 in grub.cfg
- Changing the root location to "/dev/sda1"
- Tried using the uuid
[Code]...
"fdisk -l" shows sda1 and sdb1-3. In the boot selection screen Windows seems to be on the "sdb1" as it says "Windows 7 /dev/sdb1", and I thought as I installed Ubuntu through Wubi on the same exact partition that would be the correct root path, but obviously no. Does anyone have any idea what might cause this problem I'm having? Seems like a lot of people got this out there, and this is making me mad!

Debian Configuration :: NIS User Not Allowed Because Shell Does Not Exist
May 6, 2011I have two machines running SQUEEZE, both installed and configured within the same week (not simultaneously). Both get the users info from a NIS server. In one of the machines (named "corona"), users cannot login, neither locally nor by ssh, in the other one ("xxlager") there is no problem. Both mount the users home directories by NFS. I have not found much useful info in the web. /etc/passwd, /etc/group/, /etc/shadow, are equally configured. The only difference I have found is when I use getent. Using "getent passwd isaenz" on xxlager yields:
isaenz:x:1001:1001:User Name,,,:/home/isaenz:/bin/tcsh
but on corona the result is
isaenz:x:1001:1001:User Name,,,:/home/isaenz:
so the shell info is empty.
Checking /var/log/auth.log I see a message saying:
"User isaenz not allowed because shell does not exist"
But "ypmatch isaenz passwd" returns complete information for isaenz, both on xxlager and corona.
Ubuntu Networking :: WiFi Dropping And Dropping Speed
Feb 25, 2010As soon as i'm starting to copy a large file enough file (>700Mb) to my ubuntu box (connected to an Asus router via wifi) from a Windows 7 client (connected to router via ethernet cable) i get a dramatic drop in speed. upload starts at 1,0Mb/sec with a ping to ubuntu box at <1ms, and in 2 minutes it drops to 200kb/sec with a ping of over 1000ms! The ping increases with every second in a linear progression.
To exlude router as a possible problem copying to a windows 7 notebook connected to router via wifi results in an average of 2,7Mb/sec with an average ping of 150ms.

Dec 2, 2010I installed Debian squeeze to 40Gig pata hdd on my AMD 1090T desktop, with1Tb sata hdd.
Now that I'm quite comfortable with dual-booting, I'd like to transfer 40Gig Hd(sdb) to sda3. I viewed this thread, which is similar to my situation, but not quite the formula.

I intend on reading more on this 1 to see if what I'm looking for is include.

I've never done the dd command, so it's not like I'm going to do it today, but would like a little bit more documentation to get a further understanding of the dd command.

Fedora :: After Grub-install /dev/sda3 Windows Drive Not Visible
Dec 6, 2009I have installed Fedora-9 and i customized my kernel. But i did a big mistake in the last steps while customizing. Unfortunately i have executed below shell cmd. grub-install /dev/sda windows drive is not visible But /dev/sda3 is a windows vista file system, now sda3 file system is not in visible for both in linux and also vista OS. How can i retrieve my data back in vista sda3. Here is the info of system

OpenSUSE Install :: Format Windows Partitions Sda2 / Sda3?
May 20, 2010I have been dual-booting Vista and openSUSE 11.2 until my SUSE install is fully functional and now and I want rid of Vista and to reclaim the space for Linux.
Code:
fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 320.1 GB, 320072933376 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38913 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x28000000
[Code].....
sda2 and sda3 are the Vista partitions. sda2 is a recovery partition and sda3 is the main partition. All data is safely copied from sda3 and now I want to reformat them for SUSE. I not bothered about partition resizing i.e. I am happy to just have the sda2/sda3 space available to SUSE and mount them somewhere.
1) Do I need to do anything about the boot table first or can I just reformat sda2 & sda3?
2) How should I format sda2/sda3? I'm guessing I need to unmount them and then format. Should I use ext4 or something else? Which command/tool should I use?

Ubuntu :: Long Boot Dropping To Tty?
Sep 29, 2010Lately about half the time I boot up on 9.10 it stays at the tty & asks for my login & password. It will just stay there for about a minute or so & thenboot up normally whether I enter anything or not. I have it set for auto-login & it never was a problem before. Some times it boots up normally without going into the login screen at all. The only thing that is different is one of the 5 year old kids I let use the computer for the internet & the computer doesn't always get shut down right(turn the power off). I suspect that has caused the problem but it happens now even when I know its been shut down right.

wireless connects perfectly, but after roughly 30 seconds, i cant access any address or ping an url or ip. however network manager says im still connected. so i click on network manager, and click on the wireless connection, it then reconnects in a couple of seconds, and all is good again. i carry on browsing, and 30 seconds later the same happens again!!!

Ubuntu Networking :: Internet Keeps Dropping Randomly?
Jan 4, 2010I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 64 bit on an Asus laptop and the wireless connection disconnects randomly for a while and keeps searching for the signal. When it finds it I have to put in my WEP key again to get it to connect sometimes only once or sometimes 2 or 3 times. This is getting quite annoying.

Jan 30, 2010Here is the layout of my network:My cable modem plugs into eth0 on my ubuntu server which acts as a firewall (shorewall) and dhcp server to my lan. A dd-wrt access point is plugged into eth1 and then a bridge connecting my xbox360 and another bridge connecting a desktop computer.Everything works pretty well, except a few times a day, my network will just shut down. The wireless on my macbook and my wife's laptop will just shut down, and if my xbox is running, it will lose connectivity. It will be down for maybe a minute or two, and then come back up like nothing ever happened.I never had this problem when I had just a dd-wrt router running everything instead of my server.When I ssh into my server afterwards and run dmesg, this is what I will get:

Ubuntu Networking :: Wireless Internet Dropping Out?
Feb 17, 2010This is weird. I will be working on the internet with several tabs open and all of a sudden the pages won't update. I can't go anywhere - it's like I lost the connection. I am also downloading bittorrents with uTorrent running with WIne and that doesn't seem to be affected. I also have gPodder and I tried to update podcasts with that and it also hangs up as if it can't connect. The only way I have been able to solve this has been to reboot (which I just did).
View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Networking :: Wireless Dropping But Not Windows?
Feb 25, 2010Having major wireless issues with Linux. I have DSL and had a Westell router/modem combo and my wireless would stay up for no more than 15 mins at a time even while idle, and in order to get wireless back I have to reboot and then I can get another 5-15 mins of wireless before it drops. When it drops it prompts me for my wep key and wont accept it yet if I reboot it catches the wireless right away for a very short period. So I go out today and spend over $100 bucks on a Netgear dgn2000 thinking it would fix the problem... Nope I am still in the same boat as I was with the Westell.
I am not seeing my router model listed under the wiki link sticky.. (Edit) thought I installed ndiswrapper, it was it was in my downloads anyway I can't install it I get the following error (Not a valid driver .inf file.)I have tried 3 distros and have the same problem. I went to Netgears site in search of Linux drivers but all I found was the firmware updates. Could some one please shed some light on what I need to do to get up and running?This is a new laptop and I am pretty annoyed with myself for formatting it out of the box rather than reading up a bit more about Linux (been using for one month).I don't understand it Ubuntu 10.9 ran wireless perfect on my older system, (full install) and I have no trouble with my lap top that is running Windows.I really hope to get this resolved I really enjoy Linux and I don't want this to be the one handicap which would force me back to Windows, that would be very upsetting
