The op was a bit unclear but they need to boot first to do that.

To the OP, we need to know *exactly* what you see when you try to boot
so we can give help fixing.

Provided you're getting to at least Grub Rescue then it's probably just
a case of typing the right magic. Tell us what you see when you type ls.

If it's a bios error like 'no boot device found' then chances are you're
going to need to use a rescue disk to reinstall grub.>

A rescue disk might be a good idea anyway to inspect what is in the
disk. Trying to fix a boot is hard if you don't know exactly which
partition holds what.

For Deepin and Mint - you may need to go to their forums / lists and ask
them. Different distributions do things differently.

How did you install each operating system?

Is each one using BIOS / legacy MBR?

Is each one using UEFI?

Do you have any shared directory - like a shared /home - between all
the OS?

Please tell us *exactly* what you have done as far as you can.

Do you have any logs of the install available to you?

Check that you already have installed the required firmware for the 
device and the proper kernel module is being loaded. Also, take a look 
into dmesg to get additional info on what went wrong.

OT: BIOS Problem

2008-11-17 Thread Thomas H. George



Problem: Very slow bootup while grub tries repeatedly to get responses
from a dead ide slave drive.  If the ide slave drive is disconnected
bios apparently spends a long time searching for ide drives and grub
loads very slowly but, once loaded, boots the system quickly.  If I
enter bios at power up it has not found the master ide drive and both
master and slave are shown as none.  Grub must be searching for the
drives during its slow load as once it has loaded it boots up the system
with master ide drive  recognized and useable.

History:

I had two ide drives, master with windoz and slave with debian.  Slave
started to die so I added two sata drives and transferred debian to a
sata drive.  Bios startup was extremely slow when I disconnected the ide
slave so I left it connected but with no entry for it in fstab.  Many
months passed during which I abandoned windoz completely and converted the
ide master to an ext3 data drive.  Until the last few days bios and grub
had no problem with the unused ide slave drive but it must have suffered
a further failure which led to the problem discribed above.

Setup:

ECS KA3 MVP motherboard, debian lenny

Possible Fix:

Buy cheap ide hard drive and install as ide slave replacing failed
drive.  This seems unnecessary and stupid.  With the sata drives I
already have far more storage than I need.

Any ideas,

Tom

 loads very slowly but, once loaded, boots the system quickly.

I have had similar issues. In one case, I was able to simply disable the
IDE connection within the BIOS. That BIOS had quite a few non-standard
features, and being able to disable certain devices, like the IDE, was a
bonus and not likely to be standard. I do not know your motherboard.

I also one tried to migrate a Debian install off of a IDE drive and onto
a SATA drive (all partitions including grub) and I found it to be really
slow. I tried updating grub and a few tricks I found on this group, but
I was never able to get it to boot right. The grub prompt came up pretty
quick but it took about ~5 minutes to properly load the Linux kernel and
start booting. Since everything I had was backed up, I just wiped the
system and started over. Worked fine after that. The best we could
figure was I had missed some link or pointer and it wasn't happy that it
had left IDE. 

Hope this helps!

Have fun!

Intel 440LX und große Festplatte / BIOS-Problem?

2003-02-25 Thread Andreas Hoppe
Liebe Liste,

neulich habe ich versucht, in einen Rechner, von dem ich nur weiß, daß er 
einen Intel 440LX-Chipsatz hat (erstes Aldi-Modell von 1998) eine 
60GB-Festplatte einzubauen. Da Partition-Magic und cfdisk die Platte korrekt 
erkannten und partitionierten, dachte ich, daß das eigentlich funktionieren 
sollte - nun gibt's aber folgendes Problem: Der Rechner bleibt nach ca. 1h 
komplett stehen (kein X, Cursor auf der Console steht) und ist nicht mehr 
bedienbar. nach Entfernen der Platte scheint alles wieder zu funktionieren. 
Eine ähnliche Platte zeigte identisches Verhalten.

Nun weiß ich, von den 8GB bzw. 32GB-Grenzen der alten BIOSe. Meine Frage ist, 
ob eine korrekte Partitionierung einer größeren Platte nun Indiz für 
Funktionsfähigkeit ist, oder nicht?

Leider ist im Web anscheinen kein aktualisiertes BIOS erhältlich. Auch an der 
Hotline konnte man mir nicht weiterhelfen (bei s einem alten Rechner, den 
ich aber eigentlich nicht einmotten möchte...).

Gruß,

Andy

Ich habe im Weihnachtsurlaub eine 40GB Platte (Maxtor, 5400) in 
meinen router/server eingebaut. Ein Bios für Platten  32 gab es 
dort auch nicht (P200). Ich habe dann den Kompatibilitätsjumper auf 
der Platte gelassen und einen neuen kernel mit (?CONFIG_STROKE?) gebaut.

IIRC stand in der Hilfe von CONFIG_STROKE was, dass es nur für 
bestimte Platten geht. Aber dieses Jahr habe ich den Rechner noch 
nicht neu gebootet.

Das sollte nichts mit der Grösse zu tun haben. Zur Sicherheit könntest 
Du nochmal auf IDE-Fehler in /var/log/kernel.log überprüfen. Die 
Grössenproblematik wirkt sich nur beim Booten aus, d.h. das BIOS bleibt 
bei der Erkennung der Platten hängen o.ä,

I suspect it's apm related.  Try re-compiling your kernel with all the apm

BIOS(?) problem

I've got a problem. Installed slink base on the same IDE disk as win95. 
Otherwise it works, but. When I tried to install or copy some deb-files
from the FAT partition (mounted) into debian partitions, the whole thing
crashes at once. The power goes off of the box. 

It must have something to do with the Award PnP Bios (v0.1A)?

It says that it has got ROM PCI/ISA BIOS 2A69JAIC

The win95-OS has got an property that the power goes off when I stop
win95. (I cannot change this behavior with BIOS seup.) Does this have
something to do with the problem?

Anybody knows about this anything more?

(In the bios setup I've tried all kind of setups to change Power
management etc. Nothing helps.)

Yes, and this will probably be the answer.  I'd sure try it first.

I think the BIOS *might* come into play here, though, because if the 3rd
disk is not set up in some BIOS'es, the BIOS might not be able to boot
from it.  It's something that doesn't come into play when booting off
floppy, because Linux does not care what's in the BIOS settings when it
only needs to mount the disk.

The other thing would be making sure the jumper settings are proper, in
the case of IDE drives.  (Is the 3rd drive a master, single, or slave on
its controller?)  Again, this would probably not come into play on a
floppy boot.

At least one of these two things has bitten me before.

I assume you installed linux to boot from the HD. If so, it looks as if you

You need to get a boot disk and fix your MBR.
