General :: How To Change BIOS Setting
Aug 1, 2011I want to go back to Windows. However I can't uninstall Ubuntu since I can't boot up from CD nor USB no matter how I change the BIOS setting. I chose CD or USB but it will go straight to Ubuntu. How can I get rid of it without taking out the hard drive and have it formatted from another computer.

View 5 Replies View RelatedHardware :: ACPI / APM Setting In BIOS - Cannot Boot
Feb 11, 2010I recently put together a new machine with Ubuntu 9.10 I couldn't boot it even live (or any live distro for that). It wound up being either a ACPI or APM setting in the BIOS that got it to boot, I say either because I spent probably 10 hours in there turning things on and off until it worked. It was about 4am so my memory of it ain't that great. TO get up to date, I was adding a HDD and having some issues with it being detected right. So back in the BIOS I was and accidentally loaded the defaults! Now I can't figure out what I did last time I've been at it for hours with no luck.
If I jump into grub b4 it boots and add the acpi=off the system boots up but with the side effects of no pwr mgmt. I need it to be able to sleep and shut itself off. I've always had good luck with Ubuntu in other machines so I'm not that great in there, and honestly don't know the difference between apm/acpi. The MOBO is an ASUS P4C800 Deluxe, AMI Bios. I'm gunna keep at it in the mean time, if by any chance I figure it out I'll post what it was (after I write it down).

Jan 31, 2009While building my new server I grinded ta hold shortly after inserting the FDR10 DVD.
Hardware:
Chenbro es34069
Albatron KI690-AM2
AMD Athlon X2 64 4850E
IDE 2.5" HD (master)
IDE Slimline DVD (slave)
4x SATA II swap (still empty)
It stops at the message "net: Registered protocol family 2" but in one of my desperate attempts I changed almost every setting in my BIOS (updated to 1.07) and all of a sudden it passed on. Stupid enough I figured it would be a small effort to find the setting and figure out the problem, so I changed them one at a time after loading the defaults....

Hardware :: BIOS Setting Prevents Boot With PCI RAID Bus Card?
Mar 23, 2009I changed something in the BIOS which causes a kernel panic, if my card is installed (Ultra ATA/133 PCI-to-ATA Host Controller). I had it working fine til a month ago, when I installed some Linux on a HD on that card. That booted fine too, and I did some disk switching. Still all was well, but yesterday I tried to boot XP (2nd IDE master)(GRUB is Ubuntu/2nd IDE slave), and XP wouldn't load. I clicked here, and clicked there, and now XP and Ubuntu boot, ONLY if the RAIDbus card is Out. Put the card in, and I get a kernel panic/lockup. This HAS to be a BIOS function - nothing is different on the disks, including GRUB menu.

Jan 17, 2010I just flashed/updated my BIOS using the MSI LiveUpdate4 utility under Windows 7. Everything worked the way it was supposted to as far as I can tell. Except that I can no longer boot up under Ubuntu. Windows XP and Windows 7 both boot up fine.
I get the error message:
Quote:
Mount of filesystem failed
A maintenance shell will now be started
CONTROL+D will terminate this shell and continue
Give root password for maintenance
I never set a root password under Ubuntu so I can't do that. It also said after failing to accept my user/sudo password something about running Fsck manually. So I put in the Ubuntu installation CD and am running it live. It comes with Fsck but there are quite a few options and I don't want to choose the wrong one and end up loosing data.
CentOS 5 Hardware :: Can't Mount Second BIOS-RAIDset
May 15, 2011I've a problem to mount a second BIOS-RAIDset in CentOS 5.6. De computer is equipped with 5 SATA disk drives, 2x 1,5 TB (RAID1) in boot (working properly) 2x 2 TB (RAID1) for holding a VM for a NAS (must me mounted to /nas but it doesn't). 1x 750 GB (single disk) not assigned yet.
The 2x 2TB RAID oneset is assigned using a mapper: /dev/mapper/pdc_ccbjafbfd
De RAIDset is recognised by dmraid en is operational. I can see the partition (added with p1) with fdisk. But when I tried to mount the partition on the 2TB nas it says: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/pdc_ccbjafbfdp1 And when I try to use fsck it says: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/mapper/pdc_ccbjafbfd 36.Filesystem mounted or opened exclusively by another program?
I think there's another program active on the background.
Mounting-commands: [URL]
System-information: [URL]
The problem started at the first reboot after assiging and formatting the RAID-set.
Ubuntu Installation :: "Delay Prior To Thermal" - No Option To Disable This BIOS Setting ?
Oct 14, 2010H/W : Intel 1.6GHz, BioStar U8548
S/W : Ubuntu 8.04 + RTAI + EMC2 (CNC controller)
In configuring CNC controller system, latency-test must be run to find maximum jitter of the system. It counts about 17,000 ns for few minutes, then it suddenly rise to 260,000 ns. It is impossible to control CNC with such large jitter.
In tracing this problem, I found that Award BIOS setting "Delay Prior to Thermal" is firmly engaged in making a problem. When I set this setting to 4 minutes, it makes large jitter periodically with exact 4min 15sec period. When I changed this setting to 8 minutes, its jitter is 8min 15sec period.
But, there is no option to disable this BIOS setting.
I heard that ACPI enabled OS can take over the ACPI function of the BIOS (which may include this "thermal" setting), but RTAI tuned kernel don't include ACPI modules.
Is there any solution to this problem ? If I recompile kernel with RTAI with ACPI processor module enabled, would it be a another problem maker ?
Ubuntu Installation :: Manually Setting Partitions And Mount Points?

Aug 25, 2009My hard drive is partitioned in 12 partitions (for various reasons) anyways I am having two issues when I mount my data partition. Firstly I can only write/edit files on the partition when I am under root. Second when it mounts it uses the drive's UUID as the mount name in /media (so it is horribly long!) is there a way I can force it to mount under a different name? I tried right clicking on the drive like I am able to do in Ubuntu and set a "mount point" but Fedora does not have this option.
View 3 Replies View RelatedProgramming :: Setting ACL As Mount Option Using Awk And Sed Script
Apr 24, 2010I am creating a script for making a public folder in linux. The idea behind is to allow any user to write files in this folder and further each of those files can be used by any user. For this purpose I am using acl. This first requires to set acl as mount option in /etc/fstab which I need to do with help of (awk and sed) command available in linux.
The line below is the fstab entry which I need to make change in.
UUID=e9a3db4b-d8c0-40b4-a661-131e13afea1e
/ext3 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
I want my script to identify this line (most probably with / which denotes the mountpoint) and then add (acl,) without brackets in options. Currently I use the command as below
sed 's/realtime/acl,relatime/' /etc/fstab
but the above command is in reference with (realtime) what I am planning is that my script should be able to find the line which has / and then go to options and add acl there.
Fedora Servers :: Setting Up A FTP / P2P - Mount Point Information
Aug 19, 2011I have just been gifted with a Linux dedicated server for the next six months, with an option to renew after that time has expired, and I'd like to set it up for FTP/P2P use. I do have some familiarity with Fedora from work, but only as a pre-installed desktop OS. The company providing the server has asked me to choose a OS, so of course I picked the one with which I already have some knowledge. They've also asked me to provide partition and mount point information, and it's here that I'm having some problems. I've spent most of my free time today reading everything I could about partitioning for a server, and I'm still not comfortable making this decision on my own.
The server comes with two drives - one 500GB and one 1TB, and 8GB RAM. My thinking is to use the 500GB drive for the OS, and the 1TB for media storage. I know I still have a good bit of learning to do, but I just want to get the blasted thing set up so I can get on with the hands-on part of figuring out how it works.

Aug 1, 2010I do know how to set up the traditional Window shares by modifying fstab and mkdir /mnt/share. What I was wondering in this day of laptops, if there was a script that could find and mount Window shares that were hooked into your local network, but only on a temporary bases. Something like what you would do mount a usb connection, such as a camera that you had the drivers for. I do know that networks are more complex, was just interested if something like that was developed yet. Just to let you know that my scripting skills are zero, and my ability to do so less.
View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Mount -o Loop - Flash BIOS Error "Intel UCode Loading Error" - Make Iso Images Bootsble From The Harddisk
Feb 19, 2010I need to flash my BIOS to get rid of an error: "Intel uCode loading error". On [URL] I have found a tutorial, that looks to be fine. I can even see in the comments, that somebody have done this with success from Ubuntu 9.04, the very same system, that I use. Nevertheless I cannot make this bootCD with my Ubuntu 9.04, as it doesn't know the loop option to mount the image.
In the tutorial it says: "Requirements for this step is that you have support for the vfat and loop file systems in the kernel. Or you can have those features compiled as modules. In the latter case you can load the modules before the next step, like this:
modprobe vfat
modprobe loop"
loop doesn't seem to be present in my system, and the command modprobe loop returns an error that the module is not available. I tried to follow the tutorial anyway, but with no success. How can I get the module lopp? I also want to use it to make iso images bootsble from the harddisk.

Jun 13, 2010I'm trying to do a test run of 10.04 LTS with a cd but the machine isn't booting from the cd ( or two other subsequent cds that I know work). I thought I remembered not having to do anything to make this boot from a cd, so either something has changed or I've flipped out. Once it boots 9.04 from the hard drive it recognizes that there is a program cd in there though. I've tried F8, F10, F12 and ESC - ESC nets me a list of drives to start from Ubuntu 9.04 and several versions of recovery mode also a command line. I'm baffled - this is probably something simple but its beyond me at this point.
View 6 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Servers :: Mount A USB Drive In Rc.local With /sbin/mount And UUID Instead Of Fstab?
Feb 6, 2010I run a headless Ubuntu 8.04 server, which acts as a web, email and file server. I am sticking with 8.04 as it is a LTS release and will upgrade to the next LTS when it is released.
I have two external USB drives, that I need to mount at boot. I have been using /etc/fstab up until now, with the following entries:
Code:
However, as I gather from doing searches is quite common, occasionally I get an error during boot (causing the system to drop to a recovery shell) because the USB drives take time to wake up and the system hasn't found them by the time it reads /etc/fstab.
From doing searches, it seems there is nothing you can do to fstab to fix this, so you need to mount them using an rc.local script instead, using:
Code:
The problem is, as I have two USB drives, their /dev/sdxx location changes between boots. I thus want to use UUID codes as I do in fstab, however I haven't found anything about this.
Does anyone know how I can use the mount command and UUID to mount a drive in rc.local and what options I have to use the mount the drive with the same options that I am using in my fstab entry? Obvisouly, I can't refer back to fstab using the mount command, because then I will still get the boot error issue if they are listed in fstab. And there is no space internally for the USB drives as there is already two internal drives.

Is this normal expected behavior? Is there a bug report on this? I've google'd to the best of my capabilities and could not locate any such information which is why I decided to hit the forums prior to filing a bug.
