I Broke My 'Puter After Upgrade

jamgood96 · 2012-05-04 20:39:24

I broke our work server after upgrading via Pacman. This is the first time, so I'm in need of knowing where to start.

It hangs with the message "Can not request iomem region..."

I just looked back through my remote terminal and saw some errors that popped up during the upgrade.

Thanks so much in advance!!

Your initramfs's didn't build correctly. It's not obvious to me why, but my first suggestion would be to try to rebuild them and see if you get the errors again. If you do, then it's time to start figuring them out, but if not, you may be set.

Here is the image: http://postimage.org/image/6n6bnjw1z/full/. See this thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=140390. Just chroot to your system and run "mkinitcpio -p linux".

Awesome! That worked.

It still is showing "ERROR: module not found 'mdadm'", but all seems to be working fine. Any idea?

Thanks for your help!

Is mdadm in your hooks?

I'm not sure what the answer is, but I don't think it's anything to worry about. See here from my own logs:

This kind of output is nothing new and it doesn't seem to hurt. Probably there's a simple fix but I've been too lazy to look into it.

I have in my modules list:

dm_mod dm_crypt

Do you mean the modules list in mkinitcpio.conf? I tried like so:

$ grep ^MODULES /etc/mkinitcpio.conf 
MODULES="dm_mod dm_crypt"

both with underscores and with dashes instead. Still, the same thing:

...and your lvm2 hook is parsed twice. Odd.

I have a LVM-LUKS-LVM sandwich ;-)
