Won't boot completely

nadman10 · 2008-01-28 06:30:29

I rebooted my system yesterday, and now it won't reboot correctly. It gets up to loading the modules, then fails to do anyhting after that. What's next in the boot process after modules are loaded?

Same problem here. After loading the modules, some code is displayed, but no further processing. The cursor still ticks, so no freeze.

/edit: I've just booted again, the box is up and running.
From 10 bootups 8-9 seem to hang after loading the modules.

RYZ, Yea, you got it. The system doesn't lock, it just refuses to go any farther that loading modules. No one has any ideas?

Ok, I may have figured it out. Commented all the lines in rc.local and commented out unneeded mudules in rc.conf and then it booted. Try this on yours.

rc.local has only your stuff..so it's probably your stuff that's screwing you if you say that soved it. so attend to those.

ryz, what have you found?

ryz · 2008-01-29 10:46:28

OK, first off, its a fresh installed arch 2007.08-2 (i686).

After some more boot attempts i've finally managed to bootup my box. In the rc.conf i've blacklisted all (sound)modules, except mii, ipw*(forgot the exact name) and soundcore. My rc.local is empty (just some commented lines).

Now, at bootup the system kernel panics: "Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt". Still no freeze. both, normal and fallback image.

/edit: Oh man, it gets even worse: Booted again, now the system stops at "Bringing up loopback interface [BUSY]"

post you menu.lst or lilo.conf.......do you get to Archlinux is loading? after kernel messages?

schivmeister · 2008-01-29 17:00:41

wow looks like driver-device/hardware bug, if it's a kernel panic.

have you tried the noacpi and pci=noirq to see if they work?
