Arch kernel panic, freezing during boot

Every single thing worked just great, then I burned a CD with Brasero (which I've done before), and right when the CD got ejected everything froze. My music froze, and so did the mouse and my computer didn't listen to any key strokes. Then I noticed that my CAPSLOCK and NUMLOCK leds on my keyboard were blinking. Was it a kernel panic? I don't know.
The only option I had left was to hit the big red reset button.
At boot, GRUB worked just fine, and then a lot of text as usual when Linux checks stuff and such, and after that a black screen with a non blinking cursor up in the left corner of the screen. Instead of that non blinking cursor, I've set gnome to autoload, which it wasn't. So I removed the autoload of gnome so that the usual prompt should appear, but it does not! So right now, I have no idea what to do!
I have checked my partitions with gparted on a live CD and they all seem to be intact.

/Znax

you should boot from a livecd and do fsck on the / and /home partitions

Re: Arch kernel panic, freezing during boot

I used a Ubuntu 10.04 live CD to run e2fsck on both my "/", "/boot" and "/home" partitions, neither of them had any errors. Checking the partitions with Gparted doesn't give me any errors either.

Perhaps the kernel panic wiki will give you some clues.

I have now checked the kernel panic wiki which told me to re-install my kernel, which I did. But the problem is still there. sad I have no idea what to do!

Re: Arch kernel panic, freezing during boot

I assume you are using gdm or, at the least, another login manager.

You state the problem is occurring during boot.  Do the diagnostics to which you referred show that services were starting (little PASS / FAIL messages off to the right)?  If so, you are at least out of the initrd stage and are running init

How are you starting the window manager? Dis you change /etc/innittab, or did you put gdm (or whatever) into the daemons array in /etc/rc.conf ?
If you used the inittab method, what happens if you bring the system up in run level 3.
If you used the rc.conf method, boot using this advice from fphillips

fphillips wrote:

Anyway - at the grub menu, hit e, then highlight the kernel line, hit e again, edit it so that init=/bin/sh, then escape, and b to boot.

The former should bring you up to a console login, the latter will dump you into an interactive bash shell.  From there, lets go look at dmesg and the logs.

All of the services gives me a PASS, except one. The "Checking Filesystems" gives me a BUSY, but I think it has done that before everything crashed, though I'm not completely sure.

About that, I'm using the gdm.

To get the gdm working, I added this to the rc.conf:

gnome_enable="yes"
dbus_enable="yes"
hald_enable="yes"

And uncommented this in the inittab:

x:5:respawn:/usr/sbin/gdm -nodaemon

And added this to the xinitrc:

exec ck-launch-session gnome-session

Re: Arch kernel panic, freezing during boot

@Znax remove those three lines from /etc/rc.conf, edit /etc/inittab comment "id:3:initdefault:" and uncomment "id:5:initdefault:"

...
## Only one of the following two lines can be uncommented!
# Boot to console
#id:3:initdefault:
# Boot to X11
id:5:initdefault:
...

And try to boot!
Greetings

P.S. Uncomment id:5 line if you want boot to gdm or id:3 line to boot to tty1

Re: Arch kernel panic, freezing during boot

Ok, now I can at least get to the prompt and be able to login by doing this:

I did this  (just to test what was going to happen):
/etc/rc.conf

...
#gnome_enable="yes"
#dbus_enable="yes"
#hald_enable="yes"
...

/etc/inittb

...
# Boot to console
id:3:initdefault:
# Boot to X11
#id:5:initdefault:
...
#x:5:respawn:/usr/sbin/gdm -nodaemon
...

/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

...
#exec ck-launch-session gnome-session
...


:EDIT:
I commented these lines in the rc.conf again:

...
gnome_enable="yes"
dbus_enable="yes"
hald_enable="yes"
...

So I am able to start gdm with the command "gdm", but the computer freezes just like before (with the non-blinking cursor).

Re: Arch kernel panic, freezing during boot

Hi ZnaxQue,

What would probably be more helpful would be the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log. That will probably tell us why Xorg is failing to start.

Now, looking at the end of the file(s), there seem to be a problem with fglrx? And I think it may be my ATI drivers:
I used the "ATI Proprietary Drivers" for my HD4870 graphics card, but after I installed them, dragging windows around and scrolling inside them lagged a**, so I *removed* the driver in a nasty way, somehow... I maybe the problem lies there?

Re: Arch kernel panic, freezing during boot

Hi ZnaxQue,

You're right, the improper uninstallation of the ATI Proprietary drivers is what is causing Xorg to fail to start. You should either reinstall the ATI Proprietary drivers and perhaps consult the catalyst wiki entry on how to troubleshoot the slow window dragging issue, or remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf and try using the open-source radeon xorg driver. You will probably also need to remove nomodeset from /boot/grub/menu.lst as that is required by the ATI Proprietary Catalyst drivers, but is incompatible with the open-source radeon driver.

I reinstalled the ATI driver , and started gnome, a voila! It worked perfect (except that usual lag). But when I updated, I discovered a new version of Gnome, Gnome 3. And, I just hate it so much, looks terrible. I'm going to install fluxbox instead and give that a try. ;D

Thank you all! wink
