Re: Newly installed Squeeze cannot boot

#16 Post by oldboy »

I spoke too soon. Although my 2nd attempt to boot into squeeze succeeded, my 3rd attempt failed. Here is what I can see on the screen:

Code: Select all

starting acpi_fakekey daemon...segmentation fault
failed (could not start /usr/sbin/acpi_fakekeyd
Starting OpenBSD Secure Shell server: sshd.
general protection fault: 0000 [#3] SMP
last sysfs file: /sys/devices/virtual/misc/uinput/uevent
Then it continues to end trace and stalled.

This is frustrating. After many tries, it boot into squeeze again, and it seems to work ok.

The resume image is in the swap partition... the resume image is probably getting erased when you boot to lenny..

When you are ready - instead of booting to lenny try rebooting back into squeeze , so the resume image is not erased by booting into lenny or XP...

df -hlT
is useful and asked for by an installation report if you do one
apt-get install installation-report
some people like to use
glx-info
glx-gears
and if you have an
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
you want to know what is in that as well as checking
/var/log/Xorg.0.log
There is no glx-info, glx-gears, no /etc/X11xorg.conf. There are 2 xorg.conf files when I did the file search and they are located at
/usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg/examples and /usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau/examples
but these are just example text files.
However, there is a /var/log/Xorg.0.log There are no error messages there.

You mentioned not to use /boot and /home for new install. Do you mean to put everything in one partition, including /root?

Yes, I did mean to try reinstalling squeeze to one partition..
But, only if you want to reinstall again,
And reinstalling is probably not going to fix the segfaulting sshd package....(but who knows)
suggestion:
apt-get purge sshd


Did you get resume image errors again as well (either when rebooting from squeeze to squeeze)
or when (rebooting from lenny to squeeze)?

could you post output from the the other dmesg commands too please....
dmesg | grep fb
dmesg | grep agp
dmesg | grep drm
they tell how the new KMS is starting which is still being worked on by both debian-x and debian-kernel teams - AFAICT

In this last one, there is a "fail to load firmware RV770 startup. My video card is ATI Radeon 4850.
Do you think I should download and install the ATI driver?
I'll try to purge sshd to noight and see what happens.

edit: BTW, glxgears (I tried glx-gears before) does work, giving about 1200 FPS. So, it seems there is nothing wrong there, and no need to install ATI driver.

Did you get resume image errors again as well (either when rebooting from squeeze to squeeze)
or when (rebooting from lenny to squeeze)?

I'll try to purge sshd to noight and see what happens.
if you have non-free in your sources.list
# See sources.list(5) for more information
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian squeeze main contrib non-free
apt-get install firmware-linux-nonfree
will fix the missing firmware

Yes if you get protection faults during boot from sshd
I would purge sshd for now, anyways...

Thanks llivv: you are on the right track :D . The slow glxgears seems to say no hardware acceleration. So, I download the ati driver from ati and installed it. It created the /etc/X11/org.conf (which was missing). I had to reboot after the ati driver install. No problem booting up this time. glxgears show 12k FPS which should be the case. I restarted it, but it would not shut down. Boot up into squeeze, no problem. Restarted to lenny and back tp squeeze, no problem. Looks like the video driver did not installed properly and the ati driver cured it. But, now it would not shutdown unless I push the button (I waited for over 60 seconds). New problem, but not fatal. Any ideas?

edit: When I do shutdown-restart on gnome, it just crashed. I need to push the reset button on the computer. Checked the web and this forum for squeeze shutdown problem; it seems it has been around from a year ago. But, on my other computer (single core 64 bit) running squeeze, it has no problem. Maybe it is not running gdm3. I'll have to boot it up and see.

instead of shutting down can you logout back to GDM/GDM3 ?
can you shutdown the machine using the GDM option Shutdown?

Error 16 on rt2870 is just a warning when it boots up. It is my own version of the ralink usb wireless driver. I blacklist the one from squeeze which is slow (54 mbps vs mine at 130 mbps).

I tried to stop gdm3. First I went to terminal mode (Ctr-Alt-F6), log in su and typed /etc/init.d/gdm3 stop. It just hang there and locked out everything. I had to push the reset button on the computer. So, looks like gdm3 maybe the cause?

I have reverted back to gdm 2.20 which shutdown and restarts, where gdm 2.30 does not. Maybe it is not compatible with my ATI HD4850.

Re: [solved] Newly installed Squeeze cannot boot

I did another fresh install. This time, same problems. So, I unplugged all my usb stuff (keyboard, mouse, etc.) and just attached a wired keyboard, and it booted properly, but not every time (not stable). Eventually, I found that I need to install firmware-linux-free and non-free and the system is stable after that, and I can plug in all my usb attachments. So, lesson learned the hardway. I wish it was included in the install so I do not have to spend so much time and effort.

Merely a comment on your signature oldboy. I appreciate the bittersweet humor and tragedy of it. Have family that deals with these afflictions. Thank you for reminding others to embrace some levity. :)

Hi Ben: well put, it is indeed a bittersweet humor. My memory is getting worse. Hopefully using Linux would give my brain a little bit of exercise, and enjoy the task in the meantime, although it can be frustrating..

Agree on it being frustrating at times. Me and the wife, who recently took the Linux plunge, agree it's not as frustrating as Windows. If Windows breaks, forget it. Linux breaks, "least we can fix it or find help easily". We're both glad of the Open Source idea. I'm going back to school in a way, reading source code, tinkering little at a time. "Ooops, borked it again. Oh well more homework to fix it." Right now we're trying to figure out either a udev or x server problem at boot time. Been reading man pages, log files and tickling the cpu. Eventually, something arcane like goat blood and propane torches may work.

Re: [solved] Newly installed Squeeze cannot boot

#29 Post by oldboy »

Although I have marked this thread as solved, I am still experiencing shutdown problem. If I use gnome system-shutdown-restart, the gnome desktop shuts down, but the system stalls and I have to manually press the power-off button. This creates a recovery problem for the next startup. Someone advised in an earlier post to use the shut down command in terminal mode. That works perfectly, either shutdown -h now or shutdown -r now. This happens in gdm3 but not gdm. Anyway, I'll just leave it for now since it is functioning, maybe some one will come up with a solution later on.

If your computer has a soft-shutdown* button you can try pressing it a few times. That usually shuts down my computer when it stalls midway through the shutdown process (this worked both on older Ubuntus and Lenny/Squeeze broken hybrid installation, though I didn't have this problem on pure Squeeze).

*The kind of shutdown button that doesn't instantly shut off the power.
