Ubuntu :: EBox Install - Drive Errors When Booting
Mar 17, 2011
I have a Dell Dimension 690 with a LSI raid controller. I just added two 2Tb drives to the 2 160Gb drives that I currently have. The 160Gb drives used to be set up in a redundant raid configuration and are now set up as stand alone drives. The 2Tb drives are redundant raid. I installed Zentyal server software (formally eBox). It seems that the system is starting up OK but on booting I am getting the following errors:

I do not want to put data files back on the server if it has some errors that will bite me later.

I've installed openSUSE 11.3 on my new HP 620 and it boots only when the WLAN card is swithched of in BIOS, otherwise the computer hangs up (processing udev with the last statement b43-pci-bridge...).

The hardware is a psystar box with 2 drives for os x and ubuntu respectively. I attempted install of ubuntu over older version of xubunut without physically disconnecting the os x drive After install I could not boot into either system. THEN I remembered something about the install problem that 10.4 has and installed ubuntu again, this time following the instruction regarding booloader install. Now I can boot ubunut fine, but of course when I select drive holing os x it hangs on 'Verifying DMI pool data....' I've been looking at some thread on here about dual boot problems with Win7 and such, but are any of the recommended diagnostic and repair steps relevant to my case, specifically testdisk and bootinfo scripts?

I am attempting to set up an IBM Intellistation Z Pro to optionally boot from many OS versions. One of these is Windows XP. Windows XP is currently installed on a RAID 1 device consisting of a pair of 1 GB WD drives. These are SATA drives. The HBA I'm using is a SYBA SATA II card that uses Silicon Image's SIL3124-2 chip. The card has a BIOS and I've set up two 60 GB mirrors for Windows. I boot XP fine from this setup and things run good.
I've downloaded the CentOS 5.2 images and am able to start the installation process. I'm baffled on where to install the OS software on the RAID device. The installation process shows the two 1GB drives as separate drives and there is no acknowledgment of the 60 GB partition I've already created on them for Windows XP. I expected to see only the one logical RAID device and 60 GB of it in use for a NTFS partition. Reluctant to proceed further, I bailed on the install and am asking for advice on how to proceed.
The big question is
1) How can I install CentOS 5.2 on the RAID drive to coexist with a Windows XP installation? My desire is to boot either from this drive.
other questions related to this are:
2) Why does the CentOS partitioning software used for the install not display the logical RAID drive set up through BIOS (I'm assuming that this means it was set up apart from any Windows drivers etc.)? Only the two physical drives are displayed and there is no mention of any partitions in use.

I have a laptop with two partitions, one with Windows XP and one for storage (formatted in NTFS). I would like to install Ubuntu on the storage partition, but my problem is that I can't boot from CD (or anything else) because my BIOS is password protected. I obviously don't know the password. y question is: If I plug the laptop's hard drive into another computer, install Ubuntu as described above and then reconnect it to my laptop, will it work?

I put Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Desktop Beta 1 on a flash drive using 7-zip and am trying to install it on a (this is all I know about it) an HP G71 laptop, but when I hit Esc (as instructed) to interrupt the boot process, when I hit USB DEVICE, It starts up with Windows.Is there a way to do a basic install with wubi without booting up from the drive?!?!?!?!

I recently bought a barebones computer kit and I need an operating system. Upon recommendation, I am considering openSUSE. Further I did not order a disc drive with my computer. This means that to boot openSUSE my only real option would be from a flash drive.
I have found an introduction on how to do it with ubuntu:
Create a Bootable Ubuntu USB Flash Drive the Easy Way - How-To Geek
I am interested to know if I can do a similar thing with openSUSE.

I just installed Debian onto a PowerPC G4 Tower with two hard drives. I left OS X on one of the drives and reformatted and installed Debian on the other, using the installer from the 60Mb ISO from the Debian website.
The installation had no issues and it starts yaboot and Debian no problem.
After about 2 minutes of the booting up process, it starts to output this, every five seconds:
While this happens, other things still continue load and it outputs occasional messages and even gets to "Debian Login:" where if you type really quickly and hit enter, it takes it and prompts for "Password:" right after the next round of the above messages.
I have not been able to completely log in yet.
I can start up into the shell as root with "Linux single" with no problems.
I think this might have something to do with the second Mac OS Formatted Hard drive. I have considered unplugging that drive and testing it that way, but I am looking for a solution to turn off whatever script is running that every five seconds and failing, regardless of what it is trying to do.

I don't actually have Ubuntu installed to my hard drive yet, I'm still playing with it on the demo CD. I'm new to linux, but the terminal is very familiar to me (iPhone jailbreaker).
Thing is, Terminal is giving me the finger anytime it can. I've yet to successfully do something on it. Simple things like "dpkg" or "cd any directory at all" are being a pain, and I can't put anything in /user/.Is this cause I'm booting it using a "demo CD", or does my computer just hate Ubuntu and I should give up now?

Errors occurred when booting F12 on my laptop.
Code:
Mounting local filesystems: WARNING: Deprecated config file /etc/modprobe.conf, all config files belong into /etc/modprobe.d/.
...
Starting system message bus: [FAILED]
[Code].....
You have to define PLUGINS in /etc/sysconfig/sipwitch before running sipwitch
Then the system froze there. Press Ctrl+Alt+F2 can enter command line mode.
I have two graphic cards on my laptop, one is Intel and the other is Nvidia. There seems to be something wrong with the Intel card and I changed into the Nvidia card to boot. Then the errors occurred. The driver of the Nvidia card has not been installed. How can I start my network in command line mode? I cannot enter graphic mode now.

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 receive these alerts when booting.
What do they means?
Why some daemons find for config on a non-existent file (/etc/modprobe.conf)?
Maybe because these daemons was disabled and reenabled?
Code:
Code:
And hostname command output is "localhost.localdomain".
Where I can find daemons' default setting list?

I am running a hp dv701175nr laptop and am booting ubuntu 11.04 from a usb flash drive. I can not seem to find my internal drive that has windows 7 stored on it. I tried to mount it but it give me this error:
Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with:
mount: according to mtab, /dev/sdb1 is already mounted on /
mount failed
I can't use this operating system if I can't access my windows 7 drive and I really want to use this OS .
EDIT: Okay, so I think I have found my problem, but I don't know how to fix it, there are differences in my mtab and fstab commands, I will post what they say in a second, but I do not know how or what I need to do to change and make the settings right

Whenever i do a cold startup (as opposed to a restart), i end up with a repeatable i/o error after roughly 5 minutes. This completely renders the system useless, and i'm talking to myself about raising elephants. I can _always_ restart right after the incident, and it _always_ starts up and i can use linux without incident for _days_.
What would do this? Is there a log i can peruse that might offer insight?
Also, this is a new sympton as of the last 2 kernel updates.
Actual solution:
See This launchpad bug. solution is about halfway down

I want to install CentOS on my ebox 3300. Ebox has this hardware:
* 1Ghz x86 CPU
* 256 MB RAM (512 MB available on Q2/2009)
* Support for 2nd NIC
* Integrated Full Clock FPU
[code]....
The specs below is for my Jr DX which includes the wireless option and 2x RS232 ports, plus I have a 1 GB Compact Flash and a USB-Serial usb unit (PL2303) plugged in.
cat /proc/cpuinfo:
processor : 0
vendor_id : Vortex86 SoC
cpu family : 5

I want to install it from my 4 GB usb stick onto my 4 GB CF card. I dunno how to get CentOS correctly onto my usb stick. I have tried unetbootin method and method from centos wiki, but it does same thing - after loading vmlinuz and initrd.gz it reboots. But when I tried to boot from that same usb stick on my laptop, it worked. Has anyone some experiences with installing centos on ebox? Or does anyone know what to do with it? Gentoo for example boots correctly, but gentoo can't install of CF cards (live instalation CD hasn't it in kernel enabled) and doesn't know my ethernet card (same).

I am trying to backup my ~ directory to a portable drive. In the meantime rsync is giving me all kinds of messages like this:
[Code]...
This drive is neither plugged into my computer nor is it involved with my backup script:rsync $base_options -narv /home/noleks /media/Personal1/Linux_bak. I think the question is, does rsync have a queue somewhere of operations it did not complete? If so is there a way to rest this? It is possible something went awry with a previous sync on this drive but I cannot remember right now. Either way why is it trying to complete that sync when I'm asking it to do something else?

I am having problems with a cd/dvd drive and I would like to know if it could be a driver problem or what?
I can boot from cdroms but I almost always have problems mounting the cdrom's filesystem.
The laptop has been working for years with the same ubuntu release (hardy) but there are always a couple of warnings during boot time saying that certain drivers should be updated but I don't know how.
These are the persistent messages from dmesg output:
Code:
[ 12.693449] Driver 'sd' needs updating - please use bus_type methods
[ 12.700371] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] 156301488 512-byte hardware sectors (80026 MB)

I have a DHCP server that I only mildly trust, but its nice because it is an eBox server (I use it for DNS, DHCP, and smtp relay for my internals). I want it to issue all addresses (simply because I like the way it displays its leases in the WebUI's dashboard), but I want a fail-safe too. I have another server that is strictly an Ubuntu Hardy server (I use it for openVPN and nothing else) so I would like it as my backup dhcp server. I figure I'll install all the dhcp stuff on it and just stop the service (to include a sudo crontab @reboot script to stop it when rebooted).
And simple use a sudo crontab script to ping the eBox every 5 minutes to make sure its live, and if not then start the dhcp server. My questions: If I put the entry in my sudo crontab will the script execute even if no session is currently running (its obviously a server so won't have anyone logged in except for administration)? Also since it is in the root crontab it will be able to start the init.d service without having to sudo it right (IE the script only needs to say "/etc/init.d/dhcp3-server start" not "sudo /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server start")?

I upgraded my Ubuntu 8.04 LTS server to 10.04 LTS - rebooted and things ran good. I knew I had a few problems, but DHCP and DNS were booting up and working fine for me.I went to take a look at Webmin, but apparently that's been removed from support for Ubuntu 10.04 - so I thought, I'll use eBox. I realized that Ebox didn't have the network module turned on, so I tried to turn it on. I found out the installation was missing scriptaculous, so I got that and installed that and then turned on the network module.I then rebooted the machine - and now nothing. It hangs when I get to the load for Apache. I would like to disable the network module for eBox, but can't find documentation for how to do that from the command line - which I have to use because the damn box won't boot and I'm running from a Live CD.

Someone explain this to me. I often thought in the back of my head, how do I check if my drive is bad in Linux? I always excused it thinking well I guess besides gaming that's another reason to keep a windows partition around. I boot up yesterday and Gnome was acting weird. Then, it happened. "We have detected bad sectors in your hard drive." I thought, no, you're stupid, this hard drive is less than a year old (however it was a replacement for another one that died). So I reboot.
Boot back up - Different error message. But instead of getting it a few minutes after log in, I got it right away. "We have detected potential hard drive failure." Okay, Linux. Want to play this game? Booted to Vista, downloaded Seatools to test my Seagate drive. It failed... Swapped SATA cables... it failed... So I ask - how does Linux have this auto detect capability like that? As much as I love Ubuntu, I was like there's no way it could just magically tell like that without running the Seagate program. But alas, Ubuntu was dead on target.
