Hi, Got a very very strange issue in this location As a I'm selling my small laptop (Toshiba Portégé 7200 Series, workin great with Arch since months) to a newbie, I formated the HDD & started a new easy-to-use configuration of Arch on it the day before yesterday.
Now, yesterday after pacman -Syu (new kernel-2.6.16-4) + some programs (like kernel26beyond, initramfs, bootsplash, hibernate-script, pcmanfm), system got locked on boot where it prints "Arch Linux 0.6 "Widget"" & looks for devfs !?? (no joke, no beer, no 1st April). You can see the picture of that right here : http://forums.archlinuxfr.org/viewtopic.php?pid=5510#p5510 I got some badblocks on HDD when I checked it before formating, but System got installed & was workin very fine until yesterday evening Here are the détails : HDD is a 2"5 Maxtor 12Go (fsck -fv is fine but fsck -c shows some badblocks on hda2, Powermax missing 1 of 6 tests). Rebooted on kernel 2.6.16-4 --> boot stops on : > fsck.ext2: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/hda2 > > the superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 > filesystem... + say something about "if you're sure it's a swap..." (swap is on /dev/hda3) Reboot on a livecd, fsck everything --> ok, reboot on kernel-2.6.16-4 --> same error ; Re-livecd, I do a mkswap and in the fstab, change root line from "0 1" to "0 0", reboot on kernel-2.6.16-4 --> error again, this time on partitions hda1 and hda4 ; Re-livecd, fsck -fccv every partitions : everything passed but 11 badblocks on hda2. I can mount, edit / move files on mounted hda2 without a glinch. In fstab I changed every lines from "0 1" to "0 0" to avoid boot error, reboot on kernel-2.6.16-4 --> much different. Now boots "Arch 0.6 "Widget"" with defvs !?? Again see the pic if you're thinkin I'm kidding (which I could understand for sure ;) ) Chrooted into actual install from Arch-0.7.1 CD, installed kernel-2.6.16-3, re-installed udev, double checked rc.conf (modified to default by last update), fstab & grub. Reboot --> "Arch Linux 0.6 "Wombat"" again !?? Any advice would be very appreciated as I'm lost there. /etc/fstab: ---------------- # <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> none /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/hda3 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hda2 / ext3 defaults 0 1 /dev/hda1 /boot ext2 defaults 0 1 /dev/hda4 /home ext3 defaults 0 1 grub/menu.lst: ---------------------- # (0) Arch Linux title Arch Linux 'Noodle' [2.6.16] root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/hda2 ro vga=791 initrd /initrd26.img # (1) Arch Linux kernel26fr-beyond title Arch Linux kernel26fr-beyond-TOSHIBA root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz2616-beyond-TOSHIBA root=/dev/hda2 ro vga=791 -- Salutations, kozaki.dev [~] > Arch & Mandrake~iva x86_64 & Linux _________________________________________ / Linux 2.6.16-archck-Beyond \ | #1 PREEMPT Wed Apr 12 21:56:10 CEST | \ 3200+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux / ----------------------------------------- o ^__^ o (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\/\ ||----w | || || Et puis Linux, c'est bien sympa, mais la personne qui pleure quand ce qu'il faut faire est plus compliqué que double cliquer sur une icone, comment elle fait ? > http://c.laloy.free.fr/howtos/linux/ Arch Linux - 0.7.1 "Noodle" also on : Desktops i686 Pentium II (Deschutes) & Pentium III (Coppermine) Laptops Dell Latitude L400 & Toshiba Portégé 7200Series. _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
