i do the lilo after update
next time i start it
i see the red screen then i press enter
boot: <enter>
every thing go right
but then:
load modules [busy] and no more
i dont know what to do
is there a command after boot: to start in safe mode ?
or i have to do some other thing ?
bevore the system work 100% without any errors
thx traster
i can do nothing !
i have only the smal install cd from arch / i install it all from network
all of the system is uptodate with pacman kernel 2.6.9 kde 3.3.1

Use Arch CD to chroot into your system then check config files

possilbly edit rc.conf to stop modules loading until you can sort out which one is causing problem

When you said you updated system did you run lilo before shutdown ?

Right load up Knoppix....

Can you tell us what modules you are loading in rc.conf .... & or modprobe.conf ?

change Hard Drive to read write .....

Now you need to open a terminal (root) then edit rc.conf ....

Thning is you need to be careful & know what you are doing

Daemons=(syslog alsamixer klogd network netfs crond cups)
IMPORTENT
the rc.conf is ok it work at the beginning ok / nothing change before problem

Hi,

I have the same problem.

I disabled modules loading ("!" before each module name in /etc/rc.conf) with a rescue CD. Once my Arch system was up, I manually loaded each module (declared in rc.conf). In my case (I suppose it could be yours too), the guilty module is snd-seq-oss.

I don't know where the problem comes from, I have no sound anymore :cry:, but the system works and I will try to fix the problem.

Regards,

Aurélien.

Same problem here after updating module-init-tools to version 3.1.

ghostwalker · 2004-11-20 16:03:36

First you only need snd-emu10k1 snd-pcm-oss the rest are automaticlly loaded. At the terminal do a lsmod to verify that all need sound modules are loaded. Also, go into /dev to see if snd directory and sound dev file are there.
If you are using udev and the latest version. Create the group audio and add yourself to it.

Aurélien · 2004-11-20 16:35:29

Great, the sound is back !
With the good snd-* modules, it works better.

Thx Ghostwalker.

traster · 2004-11-20 16:40:30

how to fix this ?

Mr Green · 2004-11-20 18:31:06

Heya,

you don't need knoppix I think. Just go to the commandline in your bootloader (press escape to do this for lilo I think).

Let's say the name of a linux-option in your boot-menu was "linux" (to keep it simple) enter on the lilo-commandline:

linux init=/bin/bash

and press enter. Your linux-)system should boot directly into /bin/bash. Don't know if this is enough for you however ...

phrakture · 2004-11-22 23:57:19

you can't write to "/" on knoppix because "/" is part of knoppix - on CD and loopback devices and things like that - check and see if your HD is mounted before trying to randomly write to it. If it is, try to remount it without the "ro" parameter. If that fails, just use the arch live cd to edit it... it works fine
