 Posted: Tue Mar 16, 2004 6:59 am Post subject: Reiser error on bootup - only with 2.6 kernel |
 |
|
During bootup I get an error message:
| Quote: | The problem has occurred looks like a hardware problem. [...a paragraph of text]
bread: Cannot read the block (5195018): (Input/Output error).
Warning... fsck.reiserfs for device /dev/hda4 exited with signal 6.
* Filesystem couldn't be fixed 
Give root password for maintenance
(or type Control-D for normal startup):
|
This only happens since upgrading to the 2.6 kernel. If I boot into my old 2.4 kernel it works fine and fsck.reiser finds no errors. If I have /fastboot, it boots and runs just fine. This also happened a while ago when I tried installing my system fresh on the 2.6 kernel, so I went back to the old 2.4 kernel I knew worked for me and of course it did work.
I'm using the 2.6.4-ck1 kernel, and only my root partition is ReiserFS, boot partition is ext3.
This is really frustrating. If someone has any ideas, please tell me, I couldn't find any fixes in my forums searches. I'd hate to have to go back to the old kernel again and waste all this time.

I've got exactly the same problem and was searching for a solution when I found your post. If I've got a solution I'll share.
The problem occured for the first time when I upgraded from kernel 2.6.1 to 2.6.3. |

We can't be the only ones, there must be a fix out there somewhere.
Right now, I just set up a script to touch /fastboot on login. This is very messy and really not the way to fix it (if anyone has a better way, please tell me). I can at least use my system, now, though.

| have you compiled reiserfs support into your kernel? |

| BTW, this error also comes up when you haven't changed BOOT, SWAP, and ROOT in fstab to their device names. Not sure if that helps any, especially since things were working under 2.4 kernel. |

Could you post your /etc/fstab and your bootloader configuration?
A friend of mine had the same problem, I managed to fix it for him but I'm not sure how anymore, I'll see if he remembers

Thanks, Billybob, but remember I can bypass the filesystem check with /fastboot, and everything runs great.

try the 2.6.3 kernel sources. It's like gentoo-dev-sources or something like that. Those are the ones I'm using, I manually compile(have to, genkernel doesn't work yet) and end up with a single vmlinuz image with this in grub:
kernel (hd1,0)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hdb3 [inset extra options]
note sure if that helps.
EDIT: Also, I'm not familar with what the last numbers in fstab do, but for my root(reiserfs) I have 0 1, not 0 0. Just keep trying stuff |

| Was the original problem that yippy reported ever solved? I've installed the 2.6.8.1 kernal with reiser as my / filesystem and am experiencing the same problem. If I touch /fastboot and reboot it boots cleanly, otherwise I get the same signal 6 error. |

By re-emerging you mean,
| Code: | | emerge unmerge reiserfsprogs |
followed by
| Code: | | emerge reiserfsprogs |
? |

| I did as I indicated above, emerge unmerge followed by an emerge of reiserfsprogs and I still have the signal 6 problem on boot. |

it does the same thing either way, whether you unmerge or not.
also make sure you check your /etc/fstab to make sure that / is set for reiserfs ( i had this problem once too, becaue i spelled reiserfs wrong, resiserfs......)
and what kernel version are you using? |

remember that if I /fastboot, my computer boots cleanly and all my file systems mount as specified in /etc/fstab. So this would mean that /etc/fstab is correct and reiser is built into the kernel.
I'm using 2.6.8.1 from kernel.org |

| I seem to be having the same problem. I didn't start having the problem until I tried upgrading my kernel from 2.6.5 to 2.6.8-gentoo. I think the problem was caused by using the libata driver model for my SATA drive instead of the old method within the ATA-IDE menu. I tried switching it back but it still didn't work. This problem is making me unable to run linux on this machine, and I am very upset that the developers can't fix a problem that they seem to have created with a newer kernel version. |

| Check if your fstab settings are correct if not correct them. If you have reiserfs on your boot make sure you have reiserfs support complied into the kernel and not as a module. You can find your fstab file in /etc/fstab. |

| My filesystem table file is fine. And reiserfs support is already built into the kernel. I think its probably a bug in the new kernel version because everything is setup properly, but a bogus error message is generated. |

I get this same problem, but exactly in reverse. My initial install, I installed kernel 2.6. A couple days ago, I compiled/installed 2.4, because I get better gaming performance from it (due to a Radeon 7000 needing x11-dri). However, on reboots using 2.4, reiserfsck craps out at roughly the same point you guys are running into stops. 
I've booted back into 2.6 and run reiserfsck, and everything comes back clean. Then, I checked, rechecked, and re-rechecked my fstab. No dice. I've even gone so far as to reeemerge reiserfsprogs. Again, no joy. I think it must have something to do with what the original kernel was, but I know when I configured the 2.4, I used make oldconfig and edited the necessary options to get everything configured roughly the same. Frustration has fully set in now.

Everything works in 2.6.5-gentoo-r1 but breaks on 2.6.8-gentoo-r3
No idea here, will keep trying. |

I had a similar problem. It gave me a fsck.reiserfs got signal 6 error. I couldn't write to the disk. So, can't install anything on my system.
But, finally I realized that the problem was with my fstab file. The disk which I was using was hdc3, but in fstab I had put hda3.
After editing it to hdc3, it worked fine 
Thanks
