system doesn't boot kernel26beyond

Quinten · 2006-07-23 11:02:15

Since a week or so, my system doesn't boot, unless I press <enter> and the power button a few times during the process.

Once it has booted, everything works fine, but it is highly annoying nevertheless.

it seems to have something to do with loading my hardware.

Boot freezes after these log messages:

Then I have to press enter and the powerbutton (asus M6) a few times, and then, a line at a time a couple of messages appear, then after "udev events" has passed, boot proceeds normally.

I am using mkinitcpio already: /boot/grub/menu.lst:
# (0) Arch Linux
title Arch Linux
root (hd0,2)
kernel /vmlinuz26beyond root=/dev/hda4 ro
initrd /kernel26beyond.img

----------------------------------------

my /etc/mkinitcpio.conf:
MODULES=""
BINARIES=""
FILES=""
HOOKS="base udev autodetect ide filesystems"

I tried removing scsi and sata, since my root is on an ide disk. But the problem persists.

also recreating an image using mkinitcpio or reinstalling the kernel26beyond package using pacman doesn't help.

Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong and how this problem might be resolved.

It seems like a trivial issue since the systems basically works fine otherwise. However, I can't figure it out by myself, I have tried for a week.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure if this will help you, but I suddenly was having a lot of trouble booting. My system would just freeze with a blinking cursor. I thought it had something to do with my floppy drive because if I changed the boot priority in my bios to boot from the hard disk 1st, the system would boot but would hang for a very long time in areas, and as long as 5 minutes loading uevents. I suspected this was a udev problem.

I issued a few commands to reset udev, thinking maybe recent updates didn't take effect, which did the trick...

# udevtrigger
# udevcontrol reload_rules

After that, everything is back to normal. I'm still learning about udev and I'm still fuzzy about a lot of the techy stuff.
