I just tried to update Mga3 to Cauldron (Mga4) and after installing around 2200 packages, it rebooted with these error messages.

/dev/resume does not exist

then it showed something about
/run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt

Then it dropped into a debug shell command.

Any idea what has happen and if this is fixable? I assume it has something to do with /dev/resume not available.
I am now using a different distro at the moment.

Thnx.

The

Code: Select all

/dev/resume does not exist

Just means that there's no resume image on your swap partition.

The

Code: Select all

/run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt

suggests that the kernel you're booting didn't install correctly.

Can you boot to an older kernel?

I did try one older kernel and it dropped to the debug cli prompt also. But I didn't try Safe Mode. If I can get into safe mode, any suggestions?

Thnx. for replying.

****EDIT****
I am able to boot into Safe Mode and get a complete desktop. The new informational box is a nice touch.

I looked around at grub.lst and really didn't see any difference in the regular boot image and safe mode image. I'm still running Grub 1.

Any ideas/suggestions?

I'm curious. Why would safe mode boot but not the normal mode? What would be different for safe mode to boot? When I looked at /boot/grub/grub.lst, both kernels looked the same.

Can you post it here, and also please

Code: Select all

ls -al /boot

Have you tried booting the default again?

For what it's worth I've seen that on my laptop running Cauldron several times after an update.
The first boot drops to a debug shell and subsequent boots are normal.

Here is the output of command ls -la /boot. I have some old one's from Mga3 in it.

Thnx.

I am not sure if any of the following will work in your case, but may be worth a try.

o Boot in safe mode, then rename your /etc/X11/xorg.conf (say to xorgold.conf) and then reboot normally.
o Check if your dkms modules (particularly the graphics modules) are installed in your kernel with

Code: Select all

# dkms status

Good luck.

[edit] - oh...make sure you have 'nokmsboot' in your kernel/linux line.
and points to vmlinuz-desktop/initrd-desktop.img instead of vmlinuz/initrd.img

gohlip, thanks for the advice but none of it helped.

I did create a bug report #12305:
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12305

I'm at work so will not work on it for a few days.

Does anyone know if running in Safe Mode is okay or really shouldn't use it for a long period of time? Also, are the logs the same when I boot and get the errors compared to the logs when I boot into safe mode?

Just curious to know.


Thnx.

Edit: added link to bug-report, isadora

It's not safe mode in a MS Windows sense. It's rather a safe boot, meaning it should usually boot if the normal one doesn't.

IIRC it disables the resume image and some graphics options.

Could you add to the bug report how you performed the upgrade and also the contents of /boot/grub/menu.lst if you are using grub 1.

I'd guess the UUID for the swap parition somehow changed (perhaps due to calling mkswap or something as part of the upgrade). This then invalidated the kernel command line options specified in the bootloader.

Just update the /boot/grub/menu.lst and correct the UUID of the resume= option. You can get the UUID via the "blkid" command (as root).

Ok, I was informed to remove the line in the kernels about resume=, which I have done and I am able to boot into the regular desktop.

I'll look into adding the new UUID in the swap partition and keep you all informed of how it turns out.
I have to turn on swap manually, (swapon /dev/sda6), it doesn't activate when I boot. It's been like that at least since Mga2, I think. I guess that would create a different UUID?

I got swap to boot automatically.


Thnx.
