Permissions can be a proper pain ;P

Had some problems myself a couple of times that ended up being solved
by simply invoking chown or chmod to apply correct settings...

hang during boot - mount: only root can do that

2011-10-03 Thread Joel Roth
Hello Debian Illuminati,

In the past I've successfully booted a root
filesystem created by copying a bootable system using rsync -avx
(excluding the special directories /sys, /dev, /proc and /tmp
which I create and adjust permissions as necessary.) 

This time I created an ext4 partition, made my rsync copy,
set up a grub entry.

The kernel is 2.6.36, OS is sid, the /etc/fstab entry is:

/dev/sda7 /  ext4 defaults,noatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1

Rebooting, I get this error:

INIT: version 2.88 booting
using makefile-style concurrent boot in runlevel S
mount: only root can do that (effect UID is 1000)

Similar errors continue, with warnings about a read-only
filesystem, compounding until the system
hangs.

Any ideas what could be wrong?

Thanks,

-- 
Joel Roth

Permissions problem. /sbin/init is not owned by root.

Re: Guarddog causes intermittent system hang during boot

That is a strange message.  Guarddog is only a front end to 
iptables/netfilter.  It does not run on startup, only /etc/rc.firewall is 
run.

Also, gaurddog is a KDE3 ap only.  According to the author, it does not run on 
KDE4 and it is no longer being maintained.

 One time the boot procedure hung with the message Setting up
 prelinminary keymap

That is a different error from a different part of the system.


 What is the problem? Does a typical user need a firewall? Are there any
 other easy to use firewalls besides guarddog?

I would not run a system without a firewall, but I guess it can depend on what 
you are running and what ports are open to the public.

What does line 390 of /etc/rc.firewall file say?

It seems that something makes guardog init script to crash. You can find 
out what exactly is and report it or stop using that app (btw, it has 
been removed from unstable and testing two days ago...).

 Does a typical user need a firewall? 

Hard to tell. I'd say generally no but having one won't hurt (unless it 
crashes like this :-P).

 Are there any other easy to use firewalls besides guarddog?

Debian wiki lists some of them:

Hang during boot

1997-04-23 Thread Geoff R Deasey

I have a machine that will start to boot the boot disk to install Debian 1.2
on.

intel i486 dx-2 80
8M of ram  -- is this a problem ?
1 300M ide
2 2.0G seagate barracuda's
1 VLB ide controller
1 Buslogic VLB SCSI controller with floppy controller disabled
1 TechWorks ThunderBolt video card
1 SMC EtherEZ

It gets past the buslogic and locks up right after the eata message
and then a message about skiping the PCI Bridge.

This is were it locks up.

Anyone have any ideas ?

Thanks 

--Jeff
