  6. Can't boot Linux after Re-installing WinXP[solved]

    in Installing Mandriva

    Posted · Edited by TwoFace

    Ok, I've changed that file. Now I can start loading my Linux. But, after setting the hostname system halts with this message:

    Checking root file system

    fsck.ext3: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sda4

    /dev/sda4:

    The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem.....

     

    Hmmm, now I really don't know what to do... Why it tries to open /dev/sda4, why it checks for ext2 filesystem? I have ext3 on /dev/sda3... Please, help! :sad: :wacko:

    If it's still not working, then we'd need to see the output after what you've tried from my example of doing it manually.

    Ok, I've done what you say. And we have some progress: GRUB is installed, but unfortunately I still cann't load Linux.

    It says that it cann't mount partition.

    Here contents of \boot\grub\menu.lst

    timeout 10
color black/cyan yellow/cyan
gfxmenu (hd0,3)/boot/gfxmenu
default 2

title linux old kernel
kernel (hd0,3)/boot/vmlinuz-desktop BOOT_IMAGE=linux_old_kernel root=/dev/sda4 resume=/dev/sda3 splash=silent mem=1024M vga=788
initrd (hd0,3)/boot/initrd-desktop.img

title windows suxxx
root (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1

title linux 2.6.22.12-1
kernel (hd0,3)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22.12-desktop-1mdv BOOT_IMAGE=linux_2.6.22.12-1 root=/dev/sda4 resume=/dev/sda3 splash=silent mem=1024M vga=788
initrd (hd0,3)/boot/initrd-2.6.22.12-desktop-1mdv.img

     

    Using lsparts I've fond that

    sda1 - ntfs (C:)

    sda3 - ext3

    sda4 - swap

    sda5 - ntfs (D:)

     

    So, the root partition is sda3. Maybe I need edit \boot\grub\menu.lst something like this:

    .....
title linux 2.6.22.12-1
kernel (hd0,2)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22.12-desktop-1mdv BOOT_IMAGE=linux_2.6.22.12-1 root=/dev/sda3 resume=/dev/sda3 splash=silent mem=1024M vga=788
initrd (hd0,2)/boot/initrd-2.6.22.12-desktop-1mdv.img

    ?

    But I'm not sure about resume=.... entry.

    Mmm, how I said, I've tried this.

    I boot from DVD, choose Rescue, reinstall boot loader and have this:

    Installing boot loader...
running: sh /boot/grub/install.sh with root /mnt

GNU GRUB version 0.97 (640K lower/ 3072K upper memory)

[Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB
lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible
completions of a devise/filename.]
grub > root (hd0, 3)
Filesystem type unknown, partiton type 0x82
grub > setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 (hd0)
Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition
grub > quit

     

    Here is the contents of install.sh:

    grub --device-map=/boot/grub/device.map --batch <<EOF
root (hd0,3)
setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 (hd0)
quit
EOF

    in Installing Mandriva

    Posted

    Thank you for answers!

     

    Just choose "Reinstall boot loader." It should be fine.

    When I choose this, I have the same as I discribed in my post#1, step 4

    And do not install grub to the root partition, but to the MBR instead ( /dev/sda).

    Mmm, really, I don't know how to do this.

    I tried this: I choosed Go to console, and then type:

    grub-install /dev/sda

    And this was the answer:

    mkdir: cannot create directory '/boot': file exists

    Any ideas?

  10. Can't boot Linux after Re-installing WinXP[solved]

    in Installing Mandriva

    Posted

    OK, hello! Please, help me with my problem.

    I had Mandriva Linux 2008.0 PowerPack and Windows XP SP2 on my hard drive, and all worked well. But suddenly, this *bad* Windows crashed, and I reinstalled it. But now I cann't boot to my Linux! I've read here that I can rescue my system using installation disk, but this don't work!

    Here my steps:

    1. I boot from installation DVD

    2. I choose rescue from menu

    3. I choose mount your partitions under /mnt:

    Please wait, trying to find your root device...
running: vol_id /dev/loop0
/dev/loop0: unknown volume type
running: vol_id /dev/sda
/dev/sda: unknown volume type
running: vol_id /dev/sda1
running: vol_id /dev/sda3
running: vol_id /dev/sda4
running: vol_id /dev/sda5
=> found a Mandriva Linux root partition on /dev/sda3
=> type ext3, version 'Mandriva Linux release 2008.0 (official) for i586'
Mounting other partitions from fstab on /mnt...
Your system is ready on /mnt

    4. I choose Re-install boot-loader:

    Installing boot loader...
running: sh /boot/grub/install.sh with root /mnt

GNU GRUB version 0.97 (640K lower/ 3072K upper memory)

[Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB
lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible
completions of a devise/filename.]
grub > root (hd0, 3)
Filesystem type unknown, partiton type 0x82
grub > setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 (hd0)
Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition
grub > quit

    Also, I've tried this without step 3 - same effect.

     

    Here what shows Partition Magic 8.0 about my hard drive:

    *********************************************************************

    Please, help me, cause I really need my Linux back!

    Thank you!

  12. Cisco VPN Connection Problem [solved]

    in Networking

    Posted · Edited by TwoFace

    * Kernel source from "/lib/modules/2.6.22.9-desktop-1mdv/build" will be used to build the module.

     

    I don't understand, why kernel source used from that location? Check /usr/src/linux link to /usr/src/linux-*

     

    And, maybe, for new kernel that ship with Mandriva 2008 your need new version of your cisco VPN client?

  17. Problem with VPN connection [solved]

    in Networking

    Posted · Edited by TwoFace

    Oh, guys, I really need help!!! :wall: I'm bound to Windows and this doesn't makes me happy!!! Can you point me where problems? Help!!! :wall:

     

    P.S.: On Mandriva 2007.1 I had 1 default route, in 2008 I have 2, why?

    P.P.S.:

    Here the quote from Linux PPP HOWTO:

    <a name="AEN452">

    8.4. Default route not set

    f pppd refuses to set up a default route, it is because (quite correctly) it refuses to remove/replace an existing default route.The usual reason that this error occurs is that some distributions set up a default route via your Ethernet card as opposed to setting up a specific network route.

    Any ideas?

    Hello, guys!!! Here is my problem: After installation of Mandriva 2008.0 I cann't create VPN connection. Now I'll describe my actions. And please note - all this works on Mandriva 2007.1

     

    1.

    I installed ppp and pptp from distro

    2.

    I edit file /etc/ppp/options.pptp like this:

    lock
noauth
persist
debug
nobsdcomp
nodeflate
lcp-echo-failure 36
lcp-echo-interval 5
lcp-max-failure 0

    3.

    I edit file /etc/ppp/chap-secrets like this:

    myLogin PPTP myPassword *

    4.

    I create file /etc/ppp/peers/gold with this:

    name myLogin
remotename PPTP
file /etc/ppp/options.pptp
ipparam gold

    5.

    In console as root I type:

    pptp vpn.goldnet.com.ua call gold

    And I have :

    [root@twoface twoface]# ifconfig

    6.

    After this I need to modify routes. Here my commands:

    route add -host vpn.goldnet.com.ua gw 10.100.188.1
route add -net 10.0.0.0/8 gw 10.100.188.1
route add -net 80.73.0.0/20 gw 10.100.188.1
route add -net default ppp0

     

    And I have this:

    [root@twoface twoface]# route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
10.10.10.50 10.100.188.1 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 eth0

default 10.100.188.1 0.0.0.0 UG 10 0 0 eth0

     

    Can you help me please, 'cause I don't know what to do, all this worked on Mandriva 2007.1

    Thank you!

    Hello guys! Please help me with this problem.

    I've installed Mandriva 2008.0 and I cann't install NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.11-pkg1.

    On my Mandriva 2007.1 I don't have such problem, all works well.

    I downloaded file jdk-6u2-nb-5_5_1-linux-ml.bin. After that I've started console, typed su, my password and ./jdk-6u2-nb-5_5_1-linux-ml.bin. There was no problems with installation. But how I can register java in my system? For example, Firefox says that I need java plug-in, but I have already Java installed!

    I've tried:

    but this seems don't work.
