Ubuntu :: Kernel Can't Be Mounted?
Oct 20, 2010
Concerning an installation of Ubuntu 10.0.4 LST.After update from Update Manager, where a kernel update was installed:
Code:
mount: mounting /dev/disk/by-uuid/62643a8f-2322-4a0d-07842ff6a26 on /root
failed: invalid argument
mount: mounting /dev on /root/dev failed: no such file or directory[code[,,....
After this, it opens up BusyBox - when I exit from here, it responds with "Kernel Panic - attempting to kill init."I assumed this means the kernel can't be mounted, but I'm not great with these matters.

I am trying to do a fsck on my ext3 partition, but so far failed to let the system come up in single user mode and having the partition mounted read only. It says in the kernel parameter that it is read only (RO) but still mounts it RW. A remount with mount -o remount,ro does not work, since / is always busy. what to do to get a fsck done? I don't want to boot into a rescue system, this should be possible on a running system (like Windows does it, when rebooting)

I was careless and deleted the Kernel using synaptic package manager. I was trying to delete the older entries but did not realize that I also selected the current one. Thus, I do not get an option to boot to Karmic at GRUB. It only shows the memtest entry and Windows XP. So I booted using the Ubuntu 9.10 LiveCD and tried the following:
1. sudo su
2. mkdir /mnt/os
3. mount /dev/sdb /mnt/os
At this point, I keep getting the following error: PHP Code: mount: /dev/sdb already mounted or /mnt/os busy I tried rebooting, making a different directory to mount my sdb to but it keeps repeating the same message again and again.

Is there a program that will reread the partition table and update the kernel even if one of the unmodified partitions is mounted? I installed my system on one partition, then I added another with free space. Now I want to format the second partition, but the kernel doesn't know about it yet. I tried sfdisk -R /dev/sda, but it refuses while the root partition is mounted. Is there anyway I can avoid rebooting?

Just moved to Ubuntu from XP. Whole process has gone very smoothly, but left with a small problem (i.e. it isn't actually affecting usability) that I don't seem to be able to fix and can't find on forums/internet. I also have a problem with the Floppy drive, but I've seen that problem elsewhere in the forums.
It's a dual boot system with both NTFS and Ext4 drives. All are visible and fully accessible. I decided to convert one of the NTFS drive to Ext4. That appeared to be successful and was successfully remounted as an Ext4 drive. The drive label is "Data". I did have a bit of a problem getting it remounted so that I could see/use it under my log-in as opposed to just under root. It's at this point I think that I did something to create the problem.
I now have two entries for "Data" in drop down menu for Places. The true one is shown as a standard hard drive icon, but the false one is shown as a different icon - possibly an external drive icon (note that the floppy drive is also showing as the same icon and I can't access that, but I've seen that's a problem elsewhere in the forums).
I can write and read to the true "Data" hard drive. If I click on the other false "Data" icon, I get the message "mount: /dev/sdd1 already mounted or /media/Data busy mount: according to mtab, /dev/sdd1 is already mounted on /media/Data". If unmount the true drive and try to mount the false drive, the system mounts the true drive instead. If I log into nautilus as root, neither the false data drive or the floppy appear in the left hand panel.

For some reason my Windows partition is being automatically mounted under ubuntu 9.10. I would prefer not to mount it, but as it's not included in fstab I don't know how to stop it..
Code:
$ cat /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
[code]....

I can't restart ubuntu, because of an error during filecheck. Something like:
Code:
usplash failed
usplash could not set to 1152x864
Mountall failed
Filesystem could not be mounted
Do a manual fsck to repair error When I run fsck, it sees some multiply-nodes, when I try to repair them, it says:
Code:
Fail: Multiply-nodes allready copied or repaired After fsck is done, I have to reboot. And the cycle repeats.

My laptop has only 2GB of RAM so I don't think I need the PAE kernel, also there are some drivers that I want to install, they were built for non-PAE kernel.
So far I read that I have to change the :
/etc/sysconfig/kernel
---------
# UPDATEDEFAULT specifies if new-kernel-pkg should make
# new kernels the default
UPDATEDEFAULT=yes

On my computer I have one IDE drive that is my boot drive and a mirrored SATA raid set. When I login as "root" and mount the SATA volume it's always there. When I logout or shutdown if I login as root it's always mounted. I want to do the same thing for my own user ID. I did a search on having volumes mounted when I boot but they seem related to older versions of Ubuntu. It almost seems like a permissions problem since the "root" ID mounts the volume when I boot and my user ID does not.

I have a Sandisk mp3 player. I got it because A - I like Sandisk and B - I know they have better out of box support for Linux than most other manufacturers. It is an 8gb mp3 player with an 8gb micro SD card, so each pieces of media mount independently under - SANDISK - 8gb Media.
Sandisk sits in my desk for a few months, unused, since then I upgrade systems to 9.10, blah blah... not it won't mount. Sure, it'll charge it and all. But the actual device won't mount. I did not check fdisk -l, however, I did check gparted and I never saw the thing get recognized.

OK got a couple of external USB hard drives and my mp3 player that are fairly often connected to my laptop. When updating the files on my mp3 player the other day I noticed something that seemed weird.After deletion of files there is same amount on the disk. After ejecting and reinserting things are still the same. To have the files correctly updated I have to Unmount the drive, then I see it flushing the .Trashes folder and actually freeing space on the drive.
Now the same thing seems to happen at Shutdown of the PC, files are not being updated and are still being seen by the mp3 player/hard drive. Think new files are being seen but old one not removed but not 100% sure.Is there anything I can do to force Ubuntu to correctly Unmount all drive at Shutdown so I don't have to do each one manually first? Or is there something else I am missing?

Is anyone aware of a way (or a program I can use) to write to an existing ISO image?To set the scene I've used APTonCD to create an ISO with all the programs on I want so that the next time I install Linux Mint (or Ubuntu) I can just put in the CD & install a lot of programs in one go with Package Manager. Thats worked fine & I have the ISO ready for CD but I would like a way to change it a bit so that I can add some of my own custom setup scripts (stuff to set up user accounts & so on) then every thing I need is all on one CD / DVD

When I powered-up my computer today I received the message that the home partition listed in /etc/fstab cannot be mounted and to press ESC to go to the recovery shell.
My computer is dual-boot, with Windows on the first hard disk (sda) and Ubuntu 9.10 on the second hard disk (sdb); I am using Grub version 1.97 beta4. The home partition is thus on sdb2 and the file system is ext4.
The /etc/fstab file contains all the partitions and has not changed since last October. Also, when issuing the command fdisk l, all partitions are correctly displayed, including the home that cannot be mounted.
Finally, the command fsck /dev/sdb2 quickly returns the result that /dev/sdb2 is clean!

I am trying to actually wipe my entire hard drive and figured it may just be easiest to format the hard drive and deleting the partitions. So when I go to System => Administration => Disk Utility => Select the Hard Drive => Click Delete Partition => And I get the error shown in my screenshots. What would be my best way to delete this partition and remove ubuntu completely for the time being. And yes I am using the latest RC. 10.04. However I don't suspect this is a bug.

I have downloaded ubuntu RC 10.10. (or, if you're reading this tomorrow, remove "rc" it wont make any difference) I would like to mount the image that I downloaded and update my ubuntu 10.09 trough upgrade manager.
Is that possible? It appears that the software sources tool only accepts cd-rom.
Or I can add it manually in the sources file?

The upgrade to 10.10 wasn't showing up in the Update Manager, so I torrented the alternate ISO, mounted it, and ran cdromupgrade. It all ran smoothly, until I started my computer back up and ran the Update Manager. It said I needed to insert a disc. I ran "sudo apt-get update", and the output was this:
Media change: please insert the disc labeled 'Ubuntu 10.10 _Maverick Meerkat_ - Release i386 (20101007)' in the drive '/cdrom/' and press enter How do I remove the dependency on the ISO?

When I mount a drive to my computer (USB) it gives permission only to root. I have tried changing permissions using chown -R but this has not worked. I am not able to create folders on the drive or edit anything in any way. Is there a way for me to change the permissions or get into the folder as root?

I have v 10.10 running the following (and I still have no idea how I got this all working). Myth, Squeeze server, X10 control system for the house, Virtualbox (where I run some windows stuff) and a general file and print service. It has 5 disk drives attached
1 - system disk
5- external usb to back up data to
2,3,4 - 2 tb drives in a raid config
I just restarted the server and the raid volume has not mounted. I looked in the webmin interface and the device is there but it doesn't seem to have the partitions attached. Again in webmin, the partitions seem to be on each of the drives. I used crash-plan to back up the data and music, but not the video, so I would prefer not to have to rebuild the lot if I don't have to. I really don't want to re build the lot out of my lack of experience with Linux. Is there an easy (ish) way of putting the raid back together to see if it's just dropped its config and the data is in tact (or can be rebuild from two of the three drives).

I'm just wondering because I'm going to to test out just how many partitions I can make and mount on GPT. Is there a theoretical limit on the amount of partitions or mounts allowed? I was thinking there would be depending on if you were running i386 or x86_64 because both can only handle up to a certain interger.

Does anyone know WHERE Ubuntu stores the location for mounted external filesystems and/or servers? I can mount other computers on my network, display the files etc., but CAN NOT find where Ubuntu saves the mounted system data and locations.
I mount a PC on the network, open a file manager window and see everything, but can't find where Ubuntu has that system "mounted". It's NOT in the /mnt folder or anywhere else I can see. I need to find this location to feed it to a program that sets up a remote server. I can't setup the server because the program only "looks" at the local root and doesn't find any external mounts.

I use the following to mount a share from one NAS to another NAS (both runing Linux based on Ubuntu):mount -t cifs //rmthost/rmtshare -o username=id,password=pw mntdir/ lcldir...It mounts fine and I can access the files with no problems except when I access a directory or file that is a link. When I do that it links me back to the local drive and not the mounted share. How do I get the remote links to stay remote? Is it even possible?
