sda2 is a drive partition.  It has no errors, but Opts: say that the

Let's try another wild guess.

sdb looks corrupted or not initialized

[2.147780]  sdb: unknown partition table

Can you unplug that 500GB disk to see if the kernel isn't chocking on a 
hardware error?

Beware that it will shift sdc to sdb. Depending on the system configuration, it 
might be necessary to boot in single user/rescue mode. You may also want to 
unplug sdc to prevent it from being accessed as sdb.

Is sdb supposed to contain a valid partition?

If it is supposed to be a valid disk, then, I would say it is now corrupted…

How frequently do you reboot your computer? If you reboot it infrequently and 
just rebooted it after the kernel update, then the disk failure may have been 
noticed only then.

As the kernel driver handling that disk is a generic scsi, I doubt a kernel 
bug affects your system.

The ata driver can't be blamed here either as it is recognizing sda just fine.

Now, something else may be holding the boot sequence for 26 seconds just 
before mounting the swap partition on sda3 but you ruled out a corruption on 
sda2. And we lack evidences that any other peripheral is behaving strangely.

LXDE can't mount a ext4 partition if the disk partition table is unknown.

Could the partition table be in an unusual format and the new kernel doesn't 
support that format anymore? I doubt it. It is more likely that it got 
corrupted but you didn't notice until the system was rebooted.

Can you check that disk with a live cd, rescue mode or whatever you have at 
hand?

PS: I just saw your other mail where you write that catalyst is working fine. I

Lilo is installed on the 2nd partition and this is the active one, looks ok.
The only reason I could think of is that the MBR is damaged/not installed.
If you have a DOS Bootdisk (4.0) try starting from it and
give the command
fdisk/mbr
Then reboot again.

 Lilo is installed on the 2nd partition and this is the active one, looks ok.
 The only reason I could think of is that the MBR is damaged/not installed.
 If you have a DOS Bootdisk (4.0) try starting from it and
 give the command
 fdisk/mbr
 Then reboot again.

Try to put boot=/dev/hda (not /dev/hda2) in order to put LILO on the MBR.

machine hangs at boot

1998-09-02 Thread Azog
Hello. After a recent reboot, lilo didn't load. It went through the memory
check, and then said: Verifying DMI Pool Data .. and hung. I booted
from a floppy, re-ran lilo, and it still does the same thing. Just hangs.
Any ideas on what might be the cause of this? Tkanks

the Verifying DMI Pool Data .. message does not come from LILO,
that is a message from your bios.  If you never see the LILO (or even
just the 'L') then you never even made it into the boot block on the
disk.  Try booting a dos floppy.  If that fails you probably have a
hardware problem.

I can boot fine from a linux bootdisk, and from a dos bootdisk. Just when
trying to boot from /dev/hda2 that it hangs. I've tried reinstalling lilo,
uninstalling it all together, modifying lilo.conf, but nothing works. If its
a hardware problem, why would my system work fine booting from a floppy and
not from the harddrive?

Because the BIOS might not see the harddrive right?

Please post your lilo.conf and your partition table.
