[Bug 600728] Re: gave up waiting for root device (temporary, intermittent)

2014-05-13 Thread steven20
WUHU !!!

finaly "fixed" the error. 
It seems that the hardware combination caused the Problem. 
I was Using an very old Transcend SSD (TS128GSSD25S-M) with a very new 
Mainboard ASRock B85M Pro4 ( Intel B85M Chipset as the name says) + I3 Cpu.
After cloneing the System with clonezilla to a Samsung 840 Evo (250GB) i now 
booted arround 30 times with no problems.

I don't think that the Transcend SSD alone is the Problem cause the disk
worked on an Intel Atom Mainboard + Ubuntu Server 12.?04?  without
problems, so it seems the combination (Maybe the UEFI Bios ?) leads to
the Problem.

regards
Steven

[Bug 600728] Re: gave up waiting for root device (temporary, intermittent)

2014-05-12 Thread steven20
Hello Guys,

i stumbeld into the sambe BUG on new 14.04 Server release:
 - Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
   - check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
   - check root= (did the system wait for the right device?)
 - missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/01234567-89ab-cdef-0123-456789abcdef does not exist. 
Dropping to a shell!
BusyBox v1.13.3 (Ubuntu 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu11) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.
(initramfs) 

i now tried
GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true
and 
rootdelay=10

this only happend every third or fourth time i boot.

as i'm not a linux pro it took me a few days to to figure that out, cause i 
have a mdadm raid1 and when mouting root in initfs fails the wired mdadm scrip 
drops you to the mountroot_fail function wich outputs: Incrementally starting 
RAID arrays..
But the error has absolutly nothing todo with the raid ... 

anything i can do?

regards
Stefan

I'm afraid I can no longer test, since I no longer have the system on

2013-12-16 Thread Christopher M. Penalver
Forest, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux 

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily 
folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow 
additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the 
upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you 
tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following 
tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For 
example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc3

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next 
to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please 
remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

2010-12-02 Thread Tim Connolly
I was able to fix this by adding a rootdelay=90 in the kernel line of my
grub config. Seems pretty consistent among all my lucid installs, but
then my hardware is also pretty consistent: Dell M605/SAS6IR

I'd love to be able to preseed this into the grub config on the
target... Suggestions?

Dimitrios, I don't need a live CD to boot (I can boot normally if I wait
long enough and type exit at the console) and my system is already fully
upgraded.

2010-07-09 Thread Dimitrios Symeonidis
Forest, if you still have this problem, try this:
- boot from a LiveCD
- mount the root partition, devfs, procfs and sysfs
- chroot into your system
- do an aptitude full-upgrade

That fixed it for me (here's the blog post I wrote about it:
http://azitech.wordpress.com/2010/07/09/gave-up-waiting-for-root-device/)

Let me know how it went
Good luck

Update:

I uncommented this line from /etc/default/grub:
GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true

My system now tries to boot from /dev/sda1 instead of from a uuid device
file.  Sadly, it doesn't fix this bug.

apport information

** Tags added: apport-collected

** Description changed:

  My Lucid installation sometimes fails to boot, dropping me instead into
  a BusyBox shell.  The error message looks like this:
  
  Gave up wiating for root device.  Common problems:
   - Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
 - check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
 - check root= (did the system wait for the right device?)
   - missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
  ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/01234567-89ab-cdef-0123-456789abcdef does not exist. 
Dropping to a shell!
  BusyBox v1.13.3 (Ubuntu 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu11) built-in shell (ash)
  Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.
  (initramfs) _
  
  My root= line contains the correct uuid.  (I masked it in the error
  message above.)
  
  Adding a rootdelay= of a couple minutes seems to make it fail less
  often.  This is not a viable solution, because a couple minutes is way
  to long to have to wait, because it doesn't always help, and because
  booting used to work just fine with no wait.
  
  If I wait a few minutes and type 'exit' at the (initramfs) prompt, the
  system boots.  Sometimes I have to try this a few times before it works.
  
  This bug is distinct from bug 360378, because in my case, the system is
  able to boot if I wait long enough.  (Note the comments in bug 360378
  stating that rootdelay doesn't help there.)
  
  The problem is clearly not because my disk is taking too long to become
  ready.  My root, /boot, and boot sector are all on the same disk.  If
  the disk wasn't ready, the system would not have been able to load GRUB
  or reach the BusyBox shell.
  
  This seems to be a regression.  My system booted consistently in early
  Intrepid kernels and in releases earlier than Intrepid.  The problem
  first showed up late in the Intrepid release cycle, presumably after a
  kernel upgrade.
  
- I was using GRUB 1 when the problem first appeared.  It still exists
- after upgrading to GRUB 2.
