General :: Can't Find Boot Device - Error "Unable To Determine Major/minor Number Of Root Device"
Mar 17, 2011I just compiled my first own kernel (I'm using Arch Linux), following the tutorial on the german site. Now I tried to boot it, I ended up failing with this message: Code: Waiting 10 seconds for device /dev/sda1 ... Root device '/dev/sda1' doesn't exist, Attempting to create it. ERROR: Unable to determine major/minor number of root device '/dev/sda1' Here is the important part of my menu.lst:

I simply copy&pasted the Arch-entry, i.e. I also had the disk by uuid there. The failure message was the same, just the root device name was the different name Also, at first I did not have the initrd line in my menu.lst (as written in my tutorial that I may not need it). In this case I had this error message:

Ubuntu Installation :: Determine Boot Device Number?
Jun 30, 2011I'm currently running Ubuntu (w/ GRUB) and Windows XP. I'd like to remove Ubuntu and run the recovery on Windows XP because it has started not running correctly. The computer is about 5 years old and I figured I'd just wipe it clean and start over (read: remove Ubuntu and reinstall windows via the recovery console).
I intend to follow the tutorial here: [URL]
However, I'm confused about determining the boot device number for Windows. I've run "sudo fdisk -l" and I can identify the windows drive in the list it says:
Device: /dev/sda1
Boot: *
Start: 1
End: 19352
Blocks: 155444908+
Id: 7
System: HPFS/NTFS
Am I looking for the 7, the 1, or something completely different? This is also the first partition on the list.
sda2 (id: c) is a FAT32 drive. I think this is the recovery partition included on the HP desktop.
sda3 (id:83) is Linux
sda4 (id: 82) is swap
I just need to run fixmbr.
Fedora :: F13: Increase The Number Of Loop Device
Sep 17, 2010In previous Fedora, we may add the following line to /etc/modprobe.conf

However, this method no longer works in Fedora 13.
May I know how to increase loop devices in Fedora 13?

May 30, 2010My only issue that I can't figure out thus far is the remote. I'm using a Hauppauge Nova-T USB Stick, and generally the setup for the Nova-T 500 is good. No problem with lircd.conf, .lircrc etc. My problem is that the remote doesn't work on startup. Looked in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf and it says, as expected: REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/lirc0"
Which doesn't work because I have no /dev/lirc0 (I do have a /dev/lircd). However, running /proc/bus/input/devices, I discover that my IR receiver is event5, so if I change the /etc/lirc/hardware.conf to: REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/input/event5"
And restart lirc, it works fine. Unfortunately, upon restarting the PC, the IR receiver doesn't always have the same path - eg it could be event6 or event8 etc - so then I need to fix the /etc/lirc/hardware.conf again.

Slackware :: VirtualBox - Windowsxp Guest - No Sound - Unknown Audio Device - In The Windows Device Manager
Mar 11, 2010For those that use Virtualbox on their slackware host and have a windows (xp) guest running. I have tried various settings for sound (Alsa, PulseAudio), the AC97 drivers are installed in the Windows xp guest os, but there is no sound and there is an unknown audio device (in the windows device manager). If I remove the AC97 drivers and use the soundblaster16 drivers in the Vbox settings there is no unknown sound device, but there's still no sound. why I can't get sound working?

May 13, 2010I have two SAS RAID controller cards in a Dell server in slots 2 & 3, both with an array hanging off them. I went to install a third card into slot 1, but then when it boots it says two of my sd's have bad magic number in the super-block and it wants me to create an alternative one, which I don't want to do. If i remove the new card, the server boots perfectly like it did before I added the new card. Is the new card trying to control stuff that isn't hooked up to it because its in slot 1, so its confusing RHEL?
View 5 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Remove A File On System Using Inode Number?
May 19, 2010If you create a file on UNIX/linux with special chars, like touch "la*, you can't remove it with rm "la*. You have to use the inode number(you can if you add the before the name, I know, but you'd have to guess as a user that it was used in the file creation).
I checked the manpage for rm, but there's no metion of the inode number. Doing rm inodenumber doesn't work either.
What is the command for this?

Programming :: Algorithm - File System Block Number For Immediate Read
May 20, 2010algorithm:breada
input: file system block number for immediate read
file system block number for asynchronous read
output:buffer containing data for immediate read {
if(first block not in cache) {
get buffer for first block
if(buffer data not valid)
initiate disk read }
if(second block not in cache) {
get buffer for second block)
if(buffer data valid) //line 1
release buffer else
initiate disk read //line 2 }
if(first block was originally in cache) //line 3 {
read first block
return buffer }
sleep (event first buffer contains valid data)
return buffer }
Here is an algorithm for block read algorithm. I have problem in
line 1: If buffer data is valid why is it releasing the buffer?
line 2: If buffer data valid why is it initiating disk read. It should have read directly from buffer?
line 3: It should be the first condition as if it is there in cache then it should return it without delay?
Programming :: Count Number Of CD-ROMs On A System Using Shell Script
Apr 7, 2010I am trying to get the count of number of CD-ROMs attached with my Linux system using a bash shell script. I have decided to use the following method for it:
Code:
debian:~# cat /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info | grep "drive name:"
drive name: sr0 hdb
So basically I know that there are two CD-ROMs attached to the system. Now there can be three also like this:
Code:
debian:~# cat /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info | grep "drive name:"
drive name: sr0 sr1 hdb
All I want to do is in my shell script to get the count of the devices in a variable using the above command.

General :: Make System Partition Letter / Number Designations Persistent?
Aug 15, 2010Everyone who deals with Linux knows that partitions on hard drives are designated as "sdx#", i.e., sda1 sdb2, etc. I know through experimentation that the number portion of the designation is assigned not according to order on the disk, but chronologically in the order they are created.
Further, if you have several partitions on the disk-say, sda1 through sda3-and you delete sda2, the designation of sda1 will remain the same, but sda3 will become the new sda2. The creation of any further partitions on the drive will start with designation sda3 and increment from that point.
At times this creates a conundrum, especially concerning bootable partitions. Some time back I rendered a partition containing OpenSUSE unbootable because of this, even though Ubuntu owned the GRUB bootloader in the MBR. Ubuntu's GRUB could find and point to the partition using the command "sudo update-grub", but when OpenSUSE took over the boot-up process, its GRUB was pointed to the wrong partition and would freeze up.
My question is this:
Under Windows, one is able to make a Drive letter persistent. Windows will keep the drive letter for that partition and assign around it. Is there a way to change a drive designation number, or at least make it persistent, under Linux? It would be a handy method to forestall these types of booting problems, among other things.
Presently, when a person has installed Linux side-by-side with Windows and want to delete the Windows partition and expand the Linux partition into the free space, I will tell them to format the partition, then shrink it to next to nothing instead of deleting it. This preserves the partition ID scheme while giving them the space to expand their Linux partition into...especially helpful with a seasoned Linux installation that would be a PITA to reinstall and set back up.
Oh, and I already know about UUID. This article explains it, but if you look down through the comments, you will see reasons that it is problematic for desktop application and usage. I want to make it as simple as possible for new Linux users (and myself! ).
