Super - danke, das hat funktioniert. Leider kann ich mich im System

Hab ich da beim rsync etwas falsch gemacht?

boot problem: woody, IDE to CF adapter, lilo error 80

2005-02-16 Thread Manfred Sampl
Hallo,

ich versuche gerade die Festplatte in meinem Heimrouter mit einer CF
Speicherkarte zu ersetzen. Dazu verwende ich einen IDE-CF Adapter den
man direkt auf das Motherboard stecken kann. 

Das gute ist, die CF Karte wird erkannt:

hdparm -i /dev/hdc

/dev/hdc:

 Model=SanDisk SDCFB-512, FwRev=Rev 0.00, SerialNo=X0107 20040519080929
 Config={ HardSect NotMFM Removeable DTR10Mbs nonMagnetic }
 RawCHS=993/16/63, TrkSize=0, SectSize=528, ECCbytes=4
 BuffType=DualPort, BuffSize=1kB, MaxMultSect=1, MultSect=off
 CurCHS=993/16/63, CurSects=1000944, LBA=yes, LBAsects=1000944
 IORDY=no, tPIO={min:120,w/IORDY:120}
 PIO modes: pio0 pio1 pio2 pio3 pio4
 DMA modes:
 AdvancedPM=no
 Drive Supports : Reserved : ATA-10

Jetzt habe ich ganz einfach die Daten von der Originalplatte mit rsync
auf die CF Karte kopiert und chroot / lilo gemacht.

lilo.conf:

# Support LBA for large hard disks.
lba32
# Specifies the boot device.  This is where Lilo installs its boot
boot=/dev/hdc
# Specifies the device that should be mounted as root. (`/')
root=/dev/hda1

install=/boot/boot-menu.b

# Specifies the location of the map file
map=/boot/map
# Specifies the number of deciseconds (0.1 seconds) LILO should
delay=20
# Specifies the VGA text mode at boot time.
vga=normal
# Kernel command line options that apply to all installed images go
append=apm=off acpi=force

# Boot up Linux by default.
default=Linux

image=/vmlinuz
label=Linux
read-only

Lilo wird ohne Fehler installiert, wenn ich aber nun den CF-Adapter mit
der Karte auf IDE Kanal 1 umstecke, kommt es beim booten zum Fall dass
Lilo wiederholt 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 usw schreibt und hängen bleibt.

Nun habe ich nicht wirklich herausfinden können was den Fehler bewirkt,
außer dass es ein Timing Problem am IDE Interface das Probelm sein
könnte. Ist in der lilo.conf etwas falsch?

Auf der CF-Karte ist ein ext2 Filesystem, Kernel 2.4.27

Boot problem with a moved ext3 partition

2004-12-28 Thread jean
Hi,

I have a laptop with windows XP and Debian sarge, the boot is from
windows XP.  I've transformed the debian ext3 partion in an extended
partition with inside the orginal partition (I've used Partion Magic
8.0).  The operation terminated with success and then I generated a
new linux.bin to boot debian from windows but it doesn't work (on the
screen appears only GRUB).

I think that the ext3 partition is ok beacouse I can browse it with
partition magic and if I boot with the debian CD I can mount (I found
it in /dev/disks/ide1/part5) and browse it. Besides e2fsck doesn't
report any error.

With the debian CD (sarge 20040429) I tried to use the partition
manager specifying to use the existent partition ext3 but I've the
following messages:

1 - Filesystem was not cleany unmounted! you should e2fsck. Modifying
an unclean filesystem could cause severe corruption (I press continue
because I run e2fsck without error)

2 - This ext2 filesystem has a rather strange layout! Ported can't
resize this (yet)

3 - The test of the filesystem with type ext3 in partition #5 of IDE1
master found uncorrect errors.  If you don't go back to the
partitioning menu and correct these errors the partition will not be
used at all.

What can be the problem?  The extended partion I made with partition
magic? An utility for windows, bootparts, sees it as type=f (Win95
XInt 13 extended), size= 36162315 KB, Lba Pos=44885610.

The ext3 was wrongly moved by partion magic? But than how can I mount
and use it!

The boot sector of the ext3 partion was corrupted and than GRUB
doesn't work? In this case, how can I repair it?
Thanks a lot.

This is wrong. The partition type should be Linux. Run fdisk and change
the partition type.

 The ext3 was wrongly moved by partion magic? But than how can I mount
 and use it!

Are you sure the number of blocks is still the same as it was before
moving?

 The boot sector of the ext3 partion was corrupted and than GRUB
 doesn't work? In this case, how can I repair it?

First change the partition type to Linux. Does e2fsck run properly now?

Then edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to your new settings, something like:

title   Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.10
root(hd0,4) --- this is your extended 
partition
kernel  /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10 root=/dev/hda5 ro --- idem.
savedefault

Also check your XP record (I don't run windoze, so I can't help you with
that one).

Then run grub and type:
root (hd0,4)
setup (hd0)

and see if you are able to boot again.

Greetz,
Sebas

Boot-Problem mit LILO je nach Default-Image

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
Hi,
ich habe ein sehr komisches Problem auf einem gemieteten Server (d.h.
ich kann leider die Meldungen nicht sehen, wenn der Rechner nicht
hochkommt).
Und zwar: ich habe zwei Kernelimages (2.6.9 normal und 2.6.9 mit
vserver-patch).
Lilo-Einstellung 1 ist, dass der Rechner automatisch das normale Image
hochfaehrt. Das laeuft soweit. Rufe ich lilo -R vserver vor dem
Neustart auf, kommt der Rechner erfolgreich mit dem vserver-kernel
hoch.
Tausche ich nun in der lilo.conf die beiden Eintraege, startet der
Server nur noch, wenn das normale Image per Hand gewaehlt wird
(Reboot mit einem best. Image bietet der Provider kostenlos an).
In den Log-Files tauchen von den boots, die Fehlschlagen keinerlei
Eintraege auf.
Hat jemand Ideen, in welcher Richtung das Problem zu suchen sein
koennte? Wuerde mich sehr ueber Hinweise jeder Art freuen, bin am
Ende meines ABC angelangt...
Danke und liebe Gruesse aus dem nebelig-kalten Regensburg,

Boot problem: Hang up on synchronising system clock to hardware clock

2004-11-26 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
On a machine we recently installed (testing) we have this problem at boot

Hang up on synchronising system clock to hardware clock

Then if you Ctrl + C the boot procedure goes ahead. It stops again with the 
same message. If you Ctrl + C again, the boot procedure goes ahead 
successfully and completes.

Any solution?

Thanks in advance.

big boot problem with sid i-386 installer

2004-10-13 Thread duzhenhuan
Hello, I got into trouble with booting windows xp os
after installed debian with current sid net-installer.
First,I installed win xp pro in /dev/hda1,
then  installed debian with  sid  net-installer,
and partitioned  for linux with installer,
everything went well.But
after  rebooted ,grub just couldn't recognize the NTFS partition 
and  wouldn't boot the windows xp.
Even worse,i couldn't install xp with windows xp cd again,
xp installation can't merge the grub,so i couldn't proceed.

So i think there might be some thing wrong with the installer 's 
partition program.
But I really don't want to wast time on installation  from scratch.
HOW CAN I FIX THIS PROBLEM?

Thanks in advance!

You would really help us help you solve the problem if you could post
1) The error grub generates when he doesn't recognize the NFTS partition
2) Your grub configuration ( /boot/menu/grub.lst on my debian testing)

My guess would be problems arise because grub is not in /dev/hda1, but I'm
not sure if that really is (or should be) a problem.

 My guess would be problems arise because grub is not in /dev/hda1, but I'm

It would also be useful to see the partition table

grub boots from the mbr usually seen in the menu.lst as:

# groot=(hd0,0) (the first partition on the first disk)

grub will look for the kernel options where grub is installed - normally
the root partition of your debian install - ie. which ever partition
is /  as follows:
# kopt=root=/dev/hdaX ro (X = partition number)

and your windows system should appear in menu.lst like this:

# This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for a non-linux
# OS on /dev/hda1
title   Windows 95/98/Me
root(hd0,0)
savedefault
makeactive

RE: big boot problem with sid i-386 installer

2004-10-13 Thread Roozemond, D.A.
 Please do not send private replies, reply only to the list

 # This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for 
 a non-linux OS
 # on /dev/hda1
 title   Windows NT/2000/XP
 root(hd0,0)
 makeactive
 chainloader +1

In my gentoo grub config (that's the only linux I have together with
windows XP) it says

# Windows
title=Windows XP
root (hd0,0)
chainloader (hd0,0)+1 

So that sort of matches your configuration.

I still find it rather strange that Windows XP won't reinstall. I'm
pretty sure there is a utility called 'FIXMBR' which fixes the master
boot record (as you would kinda expect) to boot to windows. You should
be able to access it via the rescue disks (which you of course created
when installing windows), or the installation cd. However, be warned
that it might then be hard to get into your debian system again...

Dual Boot Problem

2004-09-08 Thread Patrick Moroney
I'm trying to install Debian Sarge stable as a second operating 
system on a 200 gig drive and not having a lot of success.  The 
installation goes fine; I install Lilo in the MBR, the system 
goes for a reboot and then I get the following errors upon reboot:

request_module[block-major-3]: Root fs not mounted
VFS: Cannot open root device 302 or 03:02
Please append a correct root= boot option
Kernel panic: VFS Unable to mount root fs on 03:02
Please note, the reboot is unsuccessful, I never get to the step 
where it asks to set up mail or create a root password.  I just 
get the above message.  I can't scroll up to see any of the other 
messages.

To recover and make the system so that I can at least boot back 
into windows is using a dos boot disk, do a fdisk /mbr - clear 
out the MBR, and then using debian's fdisk, blow away debian 
partions, and mark the windows NTFS as bootable.  This has worked 
many times being as I've tried Lilo, Grub, and GAG as boot 
loaders - all successful.

The machine is x86 box with ASUS motherboard, AMD 1800 CPU, gig 
of RAM, ATI video card, and Audigy sound card.  Windows occupies 
the first 35 gig of the 200 gig board.

Should I make the system so that it will only boot into debian 
with a floppy?  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Also note, I'm running Woody at work no problem, but when I try 
to install Woody at home, the natsumi driver does not work for my 
Netgear ethernet card - and therefore cannot complete the 
installation.

goes fine; I install Lilo in the MBR, the system goes for a reboot and 
then I get the following errors upon reboot:

request_module[block-major-3]: Root fs not mounted
VFS: Cannot open root device 302 or 03:02
Please append a correct root= boot option
Kernel panic: VFS Unable to mount root fs on 03:02
Please note, the reboot is unsuccessful, I never get to the step where 
it asks to set up mail or create a root password.  I just get the 
above message.  I can't scroll up to see any of the other messages.

To recover and make the system so that I can at least boot back into 
windows is using a dos boot disk, do a fdisk /mbr - clear out the 
MBR, and then using debian's fdisk, blow away debian partions, and 
mark the windows NTFS as bootable.  This has worked many times being 
as I've tried Lilo, Grub, and GAG as boot loaders - all successful.

The machine is x86 box with ASUS motherboard, AMD 1800 CPU, gig of 
RAM, ATI video card, and Audigy sound card.  Windows occupies the 
first 35 gig of the 200 gig board.

Should I make the system so that it will only boot into debian with a 
floppy?  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Also note, I'm running Woody at work no problem, but when I try to 
install Woody at home, the natsumi driver does not work for my Netgear 
ethernet card - and therefore cannot complete the installation.

The strange one about this is that to restore the mbr in xp you are 
supposed to boot from the xp intallation cd, select recovery console and 
then run fix mbr and fix boot (might be fixmbr and fixboot, with no 
spaces)  I wonder what fdisk /mbr did? 
Is partion 1 Fat32 or ntfs?

After wiping out the debian partitions with debian's fdisk, I tried the 
XP installation cd - followed it's instructions, it failed  I lost 
everything on the harddrive.  Using debians fdisk to mark the windows 
partition as bootable got the thing going again.  Partition 1 is ntfs.  
fdisk /mbr clears the boot loader off the mbr.

This one definitely has me scratching my head . . .

Why not just boot from a rescue disk (I think most/all install disks can
be used as rescue disks also--check the boot options) and fix the lilo
install so you can boot windows also?  This at least fixes your boot
options until you figure out the debian install problem.

Alternately, I think XP allows you to create a boot menu that will boot
another OS in its own partition (never tried this so can't vouch for how
well it works).

Why not?  Although grub is strange to use at first (if you are already

you can dynamically change what it is doing at boot time.  This can be
convenient to fix some boot problems.

Anyway, that is not really the topic, but it might be something nice to

 --Will do with regard to the rescue option  - I'll look at the boot 
 options.  But pretty sure I tried this . . .


You might also look over the errata for the installer (although I didn't
see anything quickly related to your problem---but it may be as simple
as booting the netinstall CD and booting the CD kernel as:

linux root=/dev/hda2(IIRC this was your root - change as needed)
(or linux26 if using the 2.6 kernel)

(I have not played around a lot with the netinstall CD, but I know there
 are places where you can get to a shell and mount your partition to see
 what your lilo.conf looks like.)

Or use Knoppix or other CD runnable disks as rescue disk for a more
complete environment to troubleshoot.

Kernel boot problem?

2004-08-31 Thread Grant
Hey,
I kinda have a problem,
I have compiled now 4 kernel's and the first two kernel's got stuck on 
this message at boot.
snip
VFS: Cannot open root device hda1 or unknown-block(3,1)
Please append a correct root= boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
end snip

The other two kernels i did get stuck on this.
snip
VFS: Cannot open root device hda1 or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct root= boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
end snip
The only difference in the two messages is the unknown-block section.
I used the old .config file so i would have what i needed for the new 
kernel and all i added was select a few sound card things.

Have i added something that i shouldnt have ? or something i have missed ?
I have checked the root= line in the grub config and it reads the same 
as the current kernel which is 2.6.7-1 and the one i am trying to 
compile is 2.6.8

Thanks in advance :)
Grant.

Sounds like you're making a kernel with no initrd and all the
filesystems are modules.  initrd is a pain in the butt, just compile
the filesystems you need at boot time right into the kernel.

Hey,
Forgot to say that i am using make-kpkg then i am transfering it to my 
laptop to then installing the kernel.

I just tried another 3times and this time i made sure i made the 
filesystems in the kernel and not modules, but i still got the same error.

Is there a way i can use make-kpkg to make a initrd as the 2.6.7 
(original kernel) has one but the one i keep trying to make is missing, 
is that the problem ? how would i make one and transfer it to the laptop...

Thanks.

Try compiling your IDE controller and drive drivers into the kernel. (if

Hey,
*slaps forhead!*
I didnt think someone said about doing that for the filesystems, i 
never thought about it might need it for other things, i guess that 
initrd is quite important if you use modules for your kernel...

Perhaps you need a newer version of mkinitrd, but since I don't use

Re: grub/dual-boot problem

2004-04-23 Thread Richard Weil
Just a small update, since I'm sure someone will
someday search and find this thread ...

I got it working. The grub configuration in menu.1st
was fine; windows had overwritten the MBR. I don't
know if it's possible, but I *may* not have installed
grub to the MBR the first time (I don't recall running
install-grub /dev/hda) -- by marking the partition as
bootable, it sort of worked.

To fix it, I booted using gnoppix, mounted my /root
directory and chroot'ed to it, mounted my /boot
partition from there, then I ran install-grub and
update-grub. Useful resources: HOWTO on Debianplanet,
the discussion below it, and the rescue FAQ for
Knoppix.

Everything now works, but I do have a question: I have
boot on a separate partition from /, so according to
what I've read, I should have done:

grub-install --root-directory=/boot /dev/hda

This then installs into /boot/boot/grub, which seems
sort of silly.

So, I just did grub-install /dev/hda and it installs
into /boot/grub.

Is there a problem with this?

I haven't had much experience w/ XP, but I'm wondering if you
had it booting on /boot partition (marked bootable).  On rebooting
the WinXP MBR booted the partition with the bootable flag.
Then upon subsequently booting into WinXP it removed the bootable
flag on your /boot partition, thus you never got to grub
again?

I'm mostly wondering because WinXP does have a multi-boot
manager now, and this might be how it regains control if
you haven't added your alternate OS into its menu?

grub/dual-boot problem

2004-04-22 Thread Richard Weil
I'm having a grub/dual-boot problem.

I'm running Sarge with the kernel from the initial
install. The hard drive has 4 primary partitions:

part 1 = win xp
part 2 = /boot -- marked bootable in partition table
part 3 = /
part 4 = swap

I installed win XP into part 1. I then installed Sarge
and updated grub. On reboot, everything was fine --
grub showed a menu with both win xp and linux. I could
boot into linux fine. I had to then boot into windows.
Now, on reboot, the grub menu doesn't come up; the
machine goes straight into windows.

Is there anything I can do in my grub setup to prevent
this? It would be nice to actually be able to go back
and forth.

Thanks,

Richard

Based on the partition listing you gave in your original message, grub
should be set up as follows:

Windows: root (hd0,0)
Debian:  root (hd0,2)

Keep in mind that in grub, partition 1 is actually 0, 2 is 1, 3 is 2,
and so on.

Since you said that the computer goes directly into Windows, I'm
wondering if grub is kicking in at all? If you see GRUB on the screen
when you boot, you can try holding left shift while booting to get the
boot menu. The other possibility is that Windows overwrote your
bootloader. This happened to me before, but you said you installed
Debian AFTER you installed Windows, so this shouldn't be an issue.

But if you don't see grub at all, this could be the problem. If that's
the case, you'll need to boot off of either a recovery disk or your
Debian install disk and re-run grub-install and update-grub.

Yes, but I still don't think you've got it quite right.  He had XP on the
first partition, /boot on the second, / on the third, and swap on the
fourth.  To grub, those are partitions 0, 1, 2 and 3 respectively, just
as you say.  However, the partition that you give grub with the root
command is NOT intended to be the root partition of the booted operating
system.  It's where grub should look to find the kernel.  If he has /boot
in the second partition on his hard drive, he wants to tell grub that
it should look in that second partition for the kernel:

root (hd0,1)

and then, to get linux to use the correct partition (the third one)
for the root filesystem of the booted OS, one passes that information
to the kernel as an argument, e.g.

root (hd0,1)
kernel vmlinuz root=/dev/hda3
boot

or something like that.

Not that this solves the poster's problem at all; but I just wanted to
make sure that people didn't get the wrong idea about that root
grub command.

Boot-Problem

2004-04-15 Thread Wilhelm Kutting
Hallo,
ich habe debian woody so installiert so dass er von Diskette startet.
Ein zwei mal hat er das auch brav gemacht. Aber jetzt klappt das nicht
mehr und er bricht mit der folgenden Fehlermeldung ab:

Loading linux.bin..
Boot failed: please change disks and press a key to continue.

Kann ich jetzt vielleicht mit der 1. Installations-CD booten und das
installierte System starten?

Ich würde eher lieber von hd booten allerdings möchte ich gerne auf der
Platte noch gerne ein Win XP installieren und das würde den mbr ja
zerstören.

Ist es evt. möglich.
- Windows auf die Debianplatte zu installieren
- anschliessend Debian von CD booten und lilo zu installieren, dass das
vorhandene Debian und Windows starten können?

* Wilhelm Kutting [EMAIL PROTECTED] [040415 16:19]:

 Kann ich jetzt vielleicht mit der 1. Installations-CD booten und das
 installierte System starten?

Ja, geb am Prompt einfach rescue root=$DEINE_ROOT_PARTITION ein, oder
guck mal mit  F3 oder so nach, wie der Parameter für das rescue
Image mit 2.4er Kernel heisst (resc24?).


 Ist es evt. möglich.
 - Windows auf die Debianplatte zu installieren
 - anschliessend Debian von CD booten und lilo zu installieren, dass das
 vorhandene Debian und Windows starten können?

Klar. Installer dein ... anderes Betriebssystem, boote von CD,
kommentiere in der /etc/lilo.conf den other-Einrag am Ende aus, und pass
ggf. die Partition an, dass sollte dann funktionieren.


Yours sincerely,

mysteriöses PCMCIA-boot-problem

2004-03-17 Thread B. Venthur
Hi Liste,

ich hab hier ein sehr merkwürdiges Problemchen: meine LevelOne WPC-0100
PCMCIA-Wlan-Karte will irgendwie nicht funktionieren und ich hatte mich auch
schon fast damit abgefunden bis ich zufällig mal im Single-User-Mode
gebootet habe (also mit der s Option). Dann habe ich in diesem Modus mit
cardctl ident mal mein glück versucht -- war aber scheinbar nix -- also habe
ich mit exit normal weitergebootet und auf einmal wurde die Karte korrekt
erkannt.

Ich habe das noch mal getestet um zu sehen ob es reproduzierbar ist und
siehe da:

1) normaler Bootvorgang: Karte wird lediglich als Anonymous Memory erkannt
und ist unbrauchbar:

crash:~# cardctl ident
Socket 0:
  no product info available
crash:~# cardctl status
Socket 0:
  3.3V 16-bit PC Card
  function 0: [ready]
crash:~# cardctl config
Socket 0:
  Vcc 3.3V  Vpp1 3.3V  Vpp2 3.3V
crash:~# cardctl info
PRODID_1=
PRODID_2=
PRODID_3=
PRODID_4=
MANFID=,
FUNCID=255

2) Bootvorgang im Single-User-Mode eingeloggt und sofort mit exit normal
weitergebootet: Karte wird nicht korrekt erkannt, siehe 1)

3) Bootvorgang im Single-User-Mode eingeloggt cardctl ident gemacht (ein
paar Warungen kamen 
cs: warning: no high memory space available!
cs: unable to map card memory!
cs: unable to map card memory!
cs: unable to map card memory!
cs: unable to map card memory!
cs: unable to map card memory!
cs: unable to map card memory!
cs: unable to map card memory!) 

und sofort mit exit normal weitergebootet: Karte wird korrekt erkannt,
siehe:

crash:~# cardctl ident
Socket 0:
  product info: Digital Data Communications, WPC-0100, Version 00.00,

  manfid: 0x0156, 0x0002
  function: 6 (network)

Was läuft in der dritten Variante nun anders als bei den ersten beiden? Hat
jemand einen Hinweis für mich wie ich
was-auch-immer-in-der-dritte-varianta-passiert auf den normalen bootvorgang
übertragen kann?

Falls das wichtig ist: ich habe nen selbsgebackenen 2.6.4er kernel,
wireless-tools, hotplug und pcmcia-cs sind installiert.

Danke schon mal und schöne Grüße

Bastian

Hallo Martin,

Danke, das war es! Weist du noch wie du darauf gekommen bist? Vielleicht
kann ich meine Problemlösungsstrategie noch etwas verbessern ;)

Ist das vielleicht ein Bug oder zumindest ein Fehlverhalten was man
vielleicht nem Maintainer stecken sollte? Ich weis nicht so genau ob ich mir
das bis zur nächsten Debian-Installation merken kann (man muss sich leider
ziemlich viele Kleinigkeiten merken um seine Hardware zum laufen zu
bekommen). Wenn ja an wen? An den Betreuer von pcmcia-cs? Und in welcher

Jedenfalls vielen Dank und schöne Grüße

ergänze ich den Report um den Hinweis, daß das gleiche auf meine
Hardware zutrifft.

boot-problem

2004-03-07 Thread Hans Georg Keller
Hallo Leute,

folgende Situation:

/dev/hda2   DOS
/dev/hda3   WIN98
/dev/hda7   Woody (2 Kernels, 2.4.18 / 2.4.25)

Lilo in extended-partition  /dev/hda4 installiert.
bootflag auf  /dev/hda4  gesetzt.

Lilo bootet DOS  -- ok
Woody 2.4.18 -- ok
Woody 2.4.25 (eigenbau) -- ok
Win98   -- stoppt ( command.com fehlt oder fehlerhaft)

-- Notmassnahme --
Bootflag von /dev/hda4 auf  /dev/hda3  ändern.
Win98 bootet wieder einwandfrei.
Natürlich unter Umgehung von Lilo !!! 

-- Wechsel zum Tagesgeschäft --
Bootdisk rein, Woody booten,
mit 'fdisk' bootflag wieder umschalten.
Nun geht wieder Lilo aber Win98 nicht mehr.

Wenn ich das jedesmal machen muß, um Win98
zu starten, bekomme ich bestimmt bald Pickel.
Oder muß ich damit leben, weil Lilo in der
Extended-Partition verankert ist.

Gibt es Erfahrungen ?

/dev/hda7 ist die dritte logische Partition in der erweiterten Partionen

Alles ganz normal.

 Hi Chris,
 kernels are not deleted automatically. So, if you install another one,
 it is there still. If you have a GOOD LILO.CONF, the this will work.
 1) get Knoppix
 2) boot knoppix
 3) go to a console (with ctrl-alt-fn1) or using the knoppix menu
 4) mount the root parition from your HD (mount /dev/hda1 /mnt)

...as in:' mount -v -o,rw  /dev/hda1 /mnt '...

 where hda1 is the location of your root.
 5) chroot /mnt

...as in:' chroot /mnt /bin/bash ', or whatever shell you prefer.

 6) lilo -v
 assuming lilo runs it will re-install lilo and when you reboot
 everything works.

..before playing with more disks, or if you need to scp the disk image
or whatever;' mount -v -t proc /proc proc ', but do remember to 
' umount -v /proc ', or ugly things happen.

 7) just to be safe, also run 'mkboot' this will prompt you for a
 floppy and will make a 'boot disk' incase lilo doesnt install ok on
 the HD-Kev
 
  
  Trying the above, I've gone to the console and run 
  e2fsck /dev/hda2, it listed a couple of inodes and 
  then reported everything OK. After that I'm able to 
  mount /dev/hda2 (root) but lilo complains about 
  libc5.so (GLIBC_2.3 not found).

Thanks to Tom and John on lvlug and Arnt and Kevin on debian-
user I got the system working. A Mepis boot CD (I had the ISO 
around from previous experimentations) helped immensely as 
well. 

The key seemed to be some kind of filesystem problem as I 
didn't make progress until I ran fsck from Mepis. 

I reverted to the 2.4.22 kernel image, removed the 2.4.23 
image and then reinstalled it using synaptic. The apt tools 
do run lilo unless you tell them not to, but even then lilo 
should have been able to boot the 2.4.22 kernel. 

Now, on to messing things up with my own kernels :)

Du hast recht (und ich das FM nicht richtig gelesen :-( ). Aus man
lilo.conf:

   A per-image section starts with either a line
   image=pathname
   to indicate a file *or device* containing the boot image of a Linux

Danke für Deine Hilfe.

Eigentlich nicht. Nochmal die aus meiner Sicht relevanten Teile von
lilo.conf :

image=/vmlinuz
label=Woody
root=/dev/hdc12

image=/vmlinuz
label=Gentoo
root=/dev/hda6

Der Debian-Kernel befindet sich auf /dev/hdc12 (/ in der
Debian-Installation). Der Kernel für Gentoo befindet sich auf /dev/hda1
(/boot in der Gentoo-Installation), darauf ist dann von /dev/hda6 ( / in
der Gentoo-Installation) verlinkt (siehe unten). Ich glaube, jetzt sehe ich
auch den Unterschied. Wie war noch einmal die Konfiguration für Lilo für
einen Kernel in einer seperaten Bootpartition? (Die Frage ist natürlich
rethorisch...)

Sorry, da war meine Beschreibung ein wenig unvollständig. Ein make

Boot-Problem : unable to open the initial console

2003-12-09 Thread Gerald Preissler
Hallo,

bei der Installation von Gentoo ist bei mir ein Problem aufgetreten, zu
dessen Lösung hier vielleicht der eine oder andere einen Tip geben kann.

Das Symptom ist einfach und frustrierend: Beim booten der
Gentoo-Installation ist nach kurzer Zeit als letzte Meldung zu lesen
warning: unable to open the initial console, dann erfolgt nach ca. 2
Sekunden ein Reboot. Wenn ich die Gentoo-Partition von Debian aus mounte,
ist leider kein Log des Bootvorgangs zu finden, daher ist die Fehlermeldung
ein händischer Mitschrieb.

Folgende Rahmenbedingungen:

Installation von einem laufenden Debian-System aus wie auf der
Gentoo-Website im Installguide beschrieben, mit folgenden Abweichungen:

- Bootmanager sollte lilo sein, das Schreiben des Bootsektors erfolgt von
der Debian-Installation aus. Hier die /etc/lilo.conf (ohne Kommentare):

lba32
boot=/dev/hda
root=/dev/hda6
install=/boot/boot-menu.b
map=/boot/map
delay=20
prompt
timeout=150
vga=normal

default=Woody
image=/vmlinuz
label=Woody
read-only
root=/dev/hdc12

image=/vmlinuz
label=Gentoo
read-only
root=/dev/hda6

/ der Gentoo-Installation ist /dev/hda6, /boot ist /dev/hda1

- die Kernelkonfiguration habe ich von der Debian-Installation übertragen
und dann mit make menuconfig noch um Support für ReiserFS erweitert.

- die Installation des Kernel erfolgte nicht wie in der Anleitung
beschrieben, sondern mit make install. Der Kernel unter /boot hat die
gleiche Größe und das gleiche Erstellungsdatum wie unter
/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot. Daher gehe ich davon aus, dass die
Installation geklappt hat.
Danach noch ein ln -s /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-gentoo-r9 /vmlinuz

Kann mir jemand einen Tip geben, wie ich von hier aus weitermachen kann?

TIA

Jerry

Normalerweise passiert das, wenn /dev/console zu diesem Zeitpunkt nicht

CD Boot Problem

2003-07-30 Thread Mustafa Al-Shawaf



I am trying to install Debian on my computer. 
I used jigdo to get the iso. Then I burned the iso to cd. When I try 
to boot from the cd, the drive spins up then spins down a lot. Sometimes I 
get a message from the BIOS that there was a boot failure. Other times, It 
starts booting, but then I get a message from the software on the cd that there 
was an error and that I should try again. When I try to access the cd on 
another os, It is accessible, but it spins up and down a lot. Also when I 
try to small text files on the cd sometimes there is a long delay (45 sec or 
more). The drive works well with other cds though. I'm not sure what 
is wrong.

RE: CD Boot Problem

2003-07-30 Thread Preston Boyington




sounds like the cd media 
you burned has an error. this can be caused by a manufacturing error on 
the cd. burn another cdrom and give it a try. also, try not burning 
at full speed. sometimes people burn disks that are rated 12x at 30x+ and 
will make cd's that behave like you describe.

By other cds, do you mean other burned cds, or regular pressed cds?

I've seen some rather old CD drives (usually found on pentium and
earlier computers) have problems with CD-R/CD-RW cds while working fine 
with regular cds.

Another suggestion would be to check the block size if you are burning 
an iso image.

Boot-Problem mit fehlenden root-Rechten

2003-07-16 Thread marc-riese
Hi. 
 
Ich habe eben mal die LinuxTag-DVD mit Knoppix ausprobiert. Dort hatte ich 
irrtümlicherweise beim Booten die /-Partition meines Debian-Systems als 
Home angegeben. 
Knoppix lief ohne Probleme, aber wenn ich jetzt mein Woody von der Platte 
starte, können einige Befehle nicht mehr ausgeführt werden (z.B. mount), 
da ihnen anscheinend die nötigen Rechte fehlen. 
 
Die ersten Fehlermeldungen beim Booten sehen folgendermassen aus: 
 
(...) 
mount: only root can do that 
Acivating swap. 
Adding swap: 184736k swap-space (priority -1) 
mount: only root can do that 
*** Error! Cannot fsck root fs because it is not mounted read-only! 
mount: only root can do that 
(...) 
 
Dann kommen einige Fehlermeldungen von diversen Diensten und von modprobe, 
z.B.: 
modprobe: Can't locate module net-pf-xx 
 
Es werden beim Booten also keinerlei Dateisysteme eingebunden, auch /proc 
nicht. 
 
Zum Schluß erscheint die login-Aufforderung. 
Ein login mit $user oder root ergibt aber nur die Meldungen: 
setgid: Operation not permitted oder initgroups: Operation not 
permitted. 
 
Ich habe danach nochmal mit Knoppix gestartet, und mich etwas auf dem 
Woody-System umgeschaut, aber ich konnte auf den ersten Blick keine 
Änderungen feststellen. 
Wenn jemand einen Tip hat, an welcher Stelle genau ich nachschauen muß, 
wäre das super. 
 
Gruß 
Marc

boot problem with new kernel-any idas?

2003-06-25 Thread John Foster
I recently downloaded, and using make-kpkg buildpackage, built a 
complete new  kernel headers...etc. from a tarball( linux-2.4.21) 
downloaded from www.kernel.org. It installed with no problems, including 
running lilo. I rebooted and crapped out at the line freeing unused 
kernel memory. I have built many kernels over the years but I need to 
get new usb devices implemented as well as scsi emulation etc. for 
cd-burner  mustek scanner mods builtin. I thought no problem and 
proceeded to implement the old kernel and start over. To my great 
surprise the old kernel now craps out at the exact same place. Kind of 
makes me think it,s something other than the new kernel...however all 
was working fine before the reboot. However this is a SID system and I 
have recently upgraded other apps...very carefully. avoiding buggy 
proggies via apt-listbug. Any ideas as to what is going on? Anyone know 
of ANY bugs yielding this problem?
Thanks!

I think that's the last thing in the kernel boot sequence before it
calls init.  Do you have an initrd kernel?  (The stock Debian kernels
are, so if you copied /boot/config.* from a preexisting Debian kernel
you probably do.)  If so, did you build an initrd, and give a pointer
to it in your lilo.conf file?

Debian began supporting initrd with the 2.4 series kernels. Almost
everything gets built as modules, and the ones needed to actually boot
the system are put into an initial RAM disk, which is loaded along
with the kernel.

Initrd is basically a way to provide limited module support before
modules can be loaded from /lib/modules/kernel name. The *reason* it's
there is so kitchen-sink kernels can support many kinds of hardware.
When you compile your own kernel you only need to support the stuff in
your own machine, so there's no need for initrd -- just compile floppy
disk, hard drive and root filesystem support right in.

Boot problem

2003-03-25 Thread mrmoo1231
I have two Linuxes on my system -- one per hard disk.  I run Libranet 2.0 from 
/dev/hda3, Tater Deb on hdb3 (I was curious about pure version), and, ahem, Winblows 
on hda1.  I use Grub to manage the booting (came w/Libranet).

Here's the rub-- 
one of times after which I recompiled a 2.4.16 kernel for the Official Deb (I got the 
source pkg. from the Libranet CD's), and carefully modified the /boot/grub/menu.lst on 
Libranet, I got a kernel panic on the subsequent boot.

Here are the exact 5 last lines (they all seemed relevant):

request_module[ide-disk]: Root fs not mounted
hdb: driver not present
VFS: Cannot open root device hdb3 or 03:43
Please append a correct root= boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:43 (is this a sector or block 
designation or something?)

These two next pieces of info. may be relevant as well:
* I remember the last lines from the std. output of the last make bzImage before the 
panic in question said something about the image being created at I think 3,67 -- or 
some 3,XX that WASN'T the 43 referenced above.

* when I booted into the official Deb. (again, on /dev/hdb3) with a 
rescue root=/dev/hdb3  and ran fdisk to check the partitioning, fdisk says 
that /dev/hdb3 overlaps /dev/hdb1 (don't ask where /dev/hdb2 went, I haven't 
the foggiest).

Are there some arguments I can put in the /boot/grub/menu.lst statement about where to 
find where the real kernel image actually lives?

TIA,
Mark

You don't have IDE support for your hard drive, and that's the reason
request-module [ide-disk] fails. In fact, you shouldn't see a
request-module at all.

In menuconfig, check ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL support - IDE, ATA and ATAPI
Block devices - Include IDE/ATA-2 DISK support. I'll bet you have an
M there. Put a * there, and try again.

While you're at it, check File systems, and make sure whatever you use
for a root filesystem has support compiled in. Also check Block
devices and make sure Normal PC floppy disk support has a * there.

Check out the newbiedoc on kernel compiling:

http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/system/kernel-pkg.html

Let us know if any of that doesn't work or doesn't make sense.

2003-03-05 Thread Wesley Harris
I was running windows me, used partition magic to partition linux 
partitions, then installed debian 3. Unwisely, I let it boot from the mbr.  
Now windows won't load at all, saying system files are missing or corrupt.

lilo.conf looks like this for where windows should be:

other=/dev/hda2
  label=Other(hda2)
It also says that Windows is at hda6, which can't be right (and doesn't even 
give me the error messages I get when trying to boot from hda2).

When I boot from a windows me startup disk, c: is my data partition, but 
before installing debian, c: was naturally my windows partition.

Now I'm stuck, b/c not only am I unfamiliar with Linux, I have installed 
only the minimal web-installer distribution of debian.

Please help if you have any ideas. Thank you!

 I was running windows me, used partition magic to partition linux

   Now windows won't load at all, saying system files are missing or
 corrupt.

more info is needed:

fdisk -l /dev/hda


mount each of the win32 partitions and show output of ls of them

e.g. if win9x is on /dev/hda2 then
mkdir /mnt/c ; mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/c -t vfat

same for any other win32 partitions, mount them on different mount
points.

sounds like you may of wiped out the wrong partition? not sure without
more info.

 Why?

The mapping btw. BIOS and Kernel views differ. Look in the lilo.conf for
an example for setting that mapping manually.

Dual-Boot Problem

2002-10-16 Thread Oliver Vecernik

Hallo Leute!

Ich möchte von SuSE 7.3 auf Debian Woody umsteigen. Dazu habe ich einen 
bestehenden Rechner eine neue Platte eingebaut und Debian installiert. 
Soweit funktioniert auch alles.

Danach habe ich die alte Platte (SuSE, /dev/hda) wieder als Master 
eingebaut und die neue Platte (Debian, /dev/hdb) als Slave. In lilo.conf 
der SuSE-Platte  habe ich ein weiters Boot-Image (/dev/hdb3) angelegt 
und lilo ausgeführt.  Der Rechner bootet zwar Debian, aber es 
funktionieren manche Teile (z.B. das Netzwerk) nicht.

Ich vermute, daß noch irgendwo Einträge vorhanden sind und geändert 
werden müssen, da ich Debian ja als /dev/hda installiert habe und jetzt 
als /dev/hdb verwende.

Der Grund für diese komplizierte Vorgangsweise liegt eigentlich darin, 
nach einer gewissen Übergangsphase die Debian-Platte wieder als /dev/hda 
in dem Rechner zu belassen und die andere danach anderwertig zu verwenden.

Hat jemand eine Idee?

Schöne Grüße
Oliver

also bei einem Festplattenwechsel muß man lediglich die lilo.conf, fstab 
und evtl. noch automount-Geschichten und ein paar private Skripte die 
die Platte mounten ändern. Das sollte es gewesen sein. Jedenfalls hat 
das Netzwerk nix damit am Hut. Vielleicht mal route -n , ifconfig usw. 
kontrollieren.

Und mal die dumme Frage, wieso schiebst du nicht die Suse nach hdb? Da 
musst Du auch nur lilo.conf, ... ändern. Wenn Du die Suse-Platte nicht 
mehr willst kannst Du sie einfach wegnehmen und brauchst an Debian nicht 
noch herumschrauben und kannst Dir sichersein das Debian auf hda läuft.

Ok, hab ich gemacht. Also Debian auf hda und SuSE auf hdb. In 
/etc/lilo.conf habe ich ergänzt:

other=/dev/hdb3
label=SuSE

Leider meldet lilo:

Fatal: First sector of /dev/hdb3 doesn't have a valid boot signature

Wenn ich die beiden Platten aber vertausche, booted SuSE. Hat noch 
jemand einen Tipp?

Du kannst über lilo zwei Wege nehmen, um ein System zu booten:
- über den Bootrecord der Partition, dann muss der natürlich auch 
entsprechend geschrieben sein; in lilo.conf steht dann: other=/dev...
- direkt den Kernel (image=...); dafür muss der Bootkernel zum Zeitpunkt 
des Schreibens von lilo greifbar sein, also die boot-Partition des 
anderen Linux gemountet sein und in der lilo.conf der _aktuelle_ (beim 
Schreiben von lilo gültigen) Pfad angeben werden.

Gut , habe ich gemacht. Nur meckert lilo wieder, daß er den Pfad 
/boot/vmlinuz nicht finden kann (was ja eigentlich auch stimmt, da die 
/boot-Partition ja auf /dev/hdb1 liegt und / auf /dev/hdb3. Nur steht 
das ja in /etc/fstab der SuSE-Platte und ist jetzt unter Debian nicht aktiv.

Auf Rüdiger hören oder:

Du sagtest, dass /dev/hdb1 auf /boot eingehängt ist. Meinst du das
/boot von Debian oder von Suse? Benutzt du für beide Systeme das
gleiche /boot?

Wenn Debian sein eigenes hat, dann musst du unter Debian hdb1 zur
Vefügung stellen, z.B. unter /mnt/boot und in der lilo.conf
entsprechend den Pfad angeben:

  image=/mnt/boot/kernel
 label=SuSE
 root=/dev/hdb3
 
Danach dann lilo ausführen. Das Ganze geht aber nur, wenn kernel
auch auf /hdb1 drauf ist und hdb1 auf /mnt/boot gemountet ist.

Ich hab's auch anders herum (also von SuSE als /dev/hda Debian auf 
/dev/hdb) probiert, da hängt sich lilo beim Booten gleich auf und 
schreibt lauter '40 ' auf den Schirm. Es muß irgend ein Problem mit den 
Versionen geben. SuSE lilo ist 21.7 und Debian 22.2. Leider kann ich 
auch unter SuSE den lilo von Debian nicht einfach verwenden, es gibt 
einen Versionskonflikt.

Weiß noch jemand Rat?
