Boot Errors

[ianw1974]

Getting a few errors on boot, after upgrade to LE2005 via urpmi. I removed devfsd and installed udev instead and modified the LILO accordingly. I'm using kernel-2.6.11. However, I get these errors - but the system boots OK. These are (in order):

 

Unmounting initrd: umount /initrd device is busy

Mount usb file system mount: fs type usbdevfs not supported by kernel

netfs: Mounting other file systems failed
mount: none already mounted or dev/pts busy

 

On shutdown the error:

 

/etc/rc6.d/S01halt line 62: initrd - read only warning.

 

I added a line to mtab which said:

 

none proc/bus/usb usbfs rw 0 0

 

thinking that this might resolve the problem, but the usbdevfs still appears!

 

Any ideas as to how I can stop these appearing?

initrd errors:

 

Solved by ensuring that the code read like this in /etc/rc.sysinit (which on my system is a link to /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit (look for the section "Unmount the initrd, if necessary").

 

if [ -e /initrd/dev/.udev.tdb -a ! -e /dev/devfsd ]; then
    mount --move /initrd/dev /dev
else
    umount /initrd/dev
fi

 

This solved the umount on startup, as well as the S01halt and S01reboot on shutdown. Then, I had to look at resolving the usb issue, which adamw kindly gave the solution:

 

ian: can you check how /etc/hotplug/usb.rc and /etc/rc.d/init.d/usb look? They seem to be the two files here, with /etc/rc.d/init.d/usb being the one that actually does the deed - on my system it contains this line:

 

action "Mount USB filesystem" mount -t usbfs -o devmode=0664,devgid=43 none /proc/bus/usb

 

The usbfs entry, replaced usbdevfs to resolve the problem.

 

Another error I had was:

 

mount: none already mounted or /dev/pts busy

 

This was in /etc/fstab. I removed the line, and now, no more of a problem. I was comparing against my 10.1 system, which didn't have this, so thought, I must not need it, or it's dealt with in another way.

 

My upgrade to LE2005 has been a success! :P
