 Posted: Wed Feb 05, 2003 2:43 am Post subject: emerged alsa 9rc7, still can't boot |
 |
|
Maybe they're not related, it could potentially be a number of other smaller emerges I made...
| Code: |
ds: no socket drivers loaded:
kjournald starting. commit interval 5 seconds.
EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.
VFS: Mounted Root (Ext3 file system) read-only
mounted devfs...
Freeing...
INIT: version 2.84 booting
/sbin/rc: line 275: /var/state/init.d/softlevel:read-only file system
install: cannot create directory /var/state/init.d/failed
ln: creating sym link '/var/state/softscripts.new/alsasound' ... failed
...
(goes through about 15 more of these, then clears a few lines and goes through the most of it again ending each half with: )
Signal 11 caught by ps (procps version 3.1.5)
cat /proc/mounts: no such file or directory
(then at the end after several minutes)
INIT: ID "c2" respawing too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
(more similiar with c3, c4, c5, c6, c1)
INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel

Sorry about all the '...'ing but I had to transcribe it all--no fun. I have the root fs mounted with the livecd now, if anyone has any ideas.
edit: I just noticed that I'd compiled ext3 support as a module accidentally...going to try and recompile with that in the kernel. It's funny how these things just keep popping out from nowhere on me after reboots....ok recompiled it's still doing it, double checking fstab.

looks like it's also mounting root as readonly.. so check your fstab ?

| nope the only option is noatime, fs type is ext3 (which is right) and the (dump/pass) stuff is "0 0". |

so you compiled ext3 support directly into your kernel, yeah ?
then you mounted /boot
and overwrote the old bzImage with the new one ?
if so.. have you tried taking alsa OUT of the boot runlevel, and see if that makes a difference ?

yep, it's definitly using the ext3 as ext3 instead of ext2 as it's been for quite a while now (I couldn't figure out why, didn't bother to look into it...)
Hmm, no luck there--I just deleted the file from the boot runlevel for alsasound... |

| Still trying to figure this out if anyone has any ideas why an ext3 filesystem would mount as read only like this other than a ro setting in the fstab. |

I can get into mantenance mode after it does all that and I press ctrl-alt-del and type root pw. Not sure what I can do from there yet...
everything is still read only...
I went back on to the livecd and changed my fstab line to have noatime,rw as it suggested in a slightly related thread, it didn;t have any effect.
The only other emerge I'd done since the past reboot was unmerge the emu10k1 drivers which weren't used by my sound card. |

|
|
What does your /boot/grub/grub.conf file look like?
Maybe you are using the "ro" option (lilo had that as well). That bit me one time when I was using XFS, the solution was simply to get rid of the "ro"
e.g.
| Code: | | kernel (hd0,0)/bzImage root=/dev/hda5 ro |
becomes
| Code: | | kernel (hd0,0)/bzImage root=/dev/hda5 |
good luck

| ok if I boot with an extra rw, (just like above except replace ro with rw in the grub boot parameters) then I get something like a normal boot but it doesn't look like proc or any of the other filesystems are mounting to me...eth0 fails, metalog fails(no /proc), a lot of symlinks are failing between [ok]s and [!!]s and it still signal 11s at the end. |

arg, yeah,  ... lets see...any config files that I might try wiping? what should /var/state/init.d have in it? I'd really rather not wipe this, it took me a full month of work to get it just how I liked it |

Hmmm, I wonder if this is what it is!
there are ._cfg* for all my init.d stuff which I'd noticed was created after a recent emerge...is there an easy way to cycle the ones I have now with those ,updating things? |

is eth0 trying to start before the others, if not then that can be one cause as to why the others failed.
also they shouldn't be starting at boot runlevel, but at default - I assume by "boot" you just mean when linux is starting
well done on the fix
