Booting process halts !! Please help

Booting process halts !! Please help

Post by Minh Pha » Thu, 04 Nov 1999 04:00:00



Hello,

Thanks for reading my question.

My solaris 2.6 machine got a power failure last night and went down.
I reboot it using the command "boot disk0"
The booting process halts after this message:
"Setting default interface for multicast: add net 224.0.0.: gateway pippin"

I expected to see the following message which did not come up:
"syslog service staring"

So I guess the system log deamon can not be started.

What would be possible reasons? What should I check ?

I have tried the several possibe rebooting scenarios pointed out by
docs.sun.com/System Admin Guide, but none seems to help.

Thanks again

Minh Pham

Boot to single user "boot -s" and investigate, also did you try boot -v
verbose

Hope this helps.

I think that's about where it would mount nfs volumes? Check for
accessibility.

At this point, can you do telnet to login this server. If you can, you need type
^c at console to see if contiune. If contiuned, you may check your rc2.d
scripts.

Others.... you need check your Tcp/Ip connection or YP/NIS+ server if using one
of them.

I believe this is where it's starting up nfs.server or nfs.client.
Boot into single user mode (boot -s) and start thigns by hand until
you see the halt.

: Boot to single user "boot -s" and investigate, also did you try boot -v
: verbose

: Hope this helps.

1. Boot halted during dev mount / fsck process (RH 6.1, SMP kernel, SCSI system)

I have a problem with my fresh RH 6.1 install that seems to be working
ok with the stock kernel that came with the install, but refuses to
boot with my personally rolled 2.2.14 smp kernel.

System hw
=========
BP6 2x366 (normal speed)
2x128 PC-100 RAM = 256M RAM
Buslogic BT-950
IBM DJNA-xxx (can't remember exact model, 9.1 gb Ultrastar SCSI device)
IBM DJXXX (can't remember exact model, It's Deskstar 22GXP on UDMA33)

I have the system partitioned so that everything else except

        /home
        /usr

are on /dev/sda (SCSI) and rest on /dev/hdc (IDE). /dev/hda
is ide (win9X disk) and /dev/hdb? is (atapi zip).

Ok, like I said, everything works ok with the RH6.1 stock
kernels (be that smp or up kernel that come with it).
No problems with booting.

I've rolled my own with SMP (+ all the required smp
related settings) after having read all the RH, Linux
howto, etc. document on rolling your own. actually
I've done this 10 times before this successfully, but
that was on RH5.2.

Anyway, with my newly rolled 2.2.14 (release) kernel
I boot fine untill I get to file system check. I get:

/dev/sda1 - 6   OK
/dev/hdc1       not ext2fs device or something else...
/dev/hdc5       not ext2fs device or something else...
/dev/sda7       OK

                                                FAILED

The funny thing is that there is an empty line after the successfull
sda7 check, where the sda8 check (my root) should be. It does
check fine and boot nicely with other kernels, but I can't even
see the line (just an empty line) with my own 2.2.14.

After the FAIL i get the possibility to login in as root or
press ctrl-d to reboot.

I can tell you it doesn't help to check the devices/partitions, they
are ok. They work just ok with other kernels.

I have recompiled and recompiled my kernel dozens of times
with NO errors and it always hangs in the same spot. I've
tried monolithic kernels with no modules, almost everything in
modules and really stripped down kernels.

Nothing works.

I'm at loss.

Please suggest something if you have bumped into a similar
problem yourself.

Best regards,
        Samu

PS I've also read all the kernel-dev faqs, upgrading kernel instructions and
I think I'm doing everything by the book. And funny thing is, this used
to work for me under rh5.2 (but i won't go back to that due to the
horrible c-library fiasco I had with it). I've also done all the BP6
settings by the book (I must have read every single post on the topic :)
