mkinitrd.conf -> mkinitcpio.conf (REMOVE_USB=1) [Solved]

firedance · 2006-09-27 16:44:23

Hey, I am trying to convert to mkinitcpio, but i am having trouble.
When i boot my keyboard wont work at all so i can't login, in mkinitrd i solved this by adding REMOVE_USB=1 (can't remember why, but it works)
But when using mkinitcpio this option gone, i tried making
HOOKS="base udev ide scsi sata filesystems" (without the autodetect and usb)
but that didnt work either.

To make the kernel26.img i use pacman -S kernel26

Any ideas on how to fix this?

I've said this a few times before: once you are in normal userspace, mkinitcpio is done. Once you see the colored text at boot, mkinitcpio has already died. This is obviously a module issue, and a usb module at that.

Please run "mkinitcpio -M" and post the output - also, I would HIGHLY recommend leaving the autodetect hook in there, as it trims your mkinitcpio image down significantly (faster boot time).

[root@NetBox etc]# mkinitcpio -M
Modules autodetected:
ide-core
generic
e100
eepro100
mii
ata_piix
libata
usbcore
ehci-hcd
uhci-hcd
usbhid

It is probably the uhci_hcd that is the trouble, i have it !uhci_hcd (disabled) in rc.conf.

Hmmm where is the usb stuff coming from... odd. Can you post the output of "mkinitcpio -v" - it will do a dry run in verbose mode, telling you everything it's doing.

Side note, is your drive ide, scsi, or sata? You have all three hooks listed - if you're customizing, you should only list the ones you need. Additionally, I think the scsi hook may be loading usb modules...

firedance · 2006-09-27 19:39:09

I think (not 100%) that it is sata.
(Isn't there any [spoiler] tag to hide a long text and then so it shows when you press a button?)
I added autodetect to my mkinitcpio.conf.
Oh, and i have usb keyboard & mouse, i think that's why the usb thing messes it up.

I have a usb keyboard ... no problems here...

Beyond kernel?

firedance · 2006-09-27 19:42:44

Using the beyond kernel since the normal won't let me login due to the problem
--edit--
Ah i guess i should be using the -k argument
-edit2-
Changed the post with -v to use the -k argument
theone with -M had the same output with and without -k

have you tried fallback ?

No, I thought it was one with all modules including the uhci_hcd

phrakture · 2006-09-27 22:33:37

The post above shows no usb modules added (the -v output)... hmmm. IIRC the -M output may be a bit misleading in this case...

firedance · 2006-09-28 05:50:14

Is there any way to make the computer reboot if nobody has logged in for one minute? (Since i can't use the keyboard, I have to shutdown the wrong way making arch check all discs at boot - Takes a while)

phrakture · 2006-09-28 06:13:15

Try adding the "usb" hook to mkinitcpio.conf - it appears that fixed one person's issue, which was similar... being unable to use the keyboard once booted... worth a shot.

I'll try that as soon as i figure how to auto-reboot after no activity
--edit--
Due to some problems i haven't been able to answer.
But adding the usb hook fixed it, I guess i was thinking to much when i though that it was the same problem that I had with mkinitrd
