 Posted: Sun May 24, 2009 6:30 pm Post subject: l 02 error on boot[Solved, kinda] |
 |
|
Hello everyone
running into a bit of an issue on the new server I am building. Earlier, I had a lot of problems with one of my network cards. This led me to trying enough things to get it working that I felt it would be simpler to just trash the OS and build from scratch once I had found the problem (one of my network cards was suffering a slow and painful death)
Got the entire base gentoo system installed and now I installed my boot loader of choise, lilo. I reboot and get l 02
all I can find on google is that 02 means a media issue and to re-install lilo and try again. This leads me back to l 02 so ...
anyone as an idea?

I don't get as far as he does. /boot is ext2 (compile in the kernel, not as a module)
His issue is he forgot to edit /etc/fstab
I don't get off the lilo loader, so I am not even at loading the kernel yet.

boot a cd, substitute your boot partition device name for /dev/sda1 if necessary, run:
| Code: | | tune2fs -l /dev/sda1 | grep -i "inode size" |
If the return is or any value not 128.
you will need either: a version of LILO that handles non 128 inode size
or: backup /boot, remake the /boot file system specifying | Code: | | mke2fs -I 128 /dev/sda1 |
restore /boot backup |

| Code: | livecd ~ # tune2fs -l /dev/hdb1 | grep -i "inode size"
Inode size: |
guess it's 128. anyone else as an idea?
Edit: I am making a copy of the install to another drive and will try it there. Maybe the hd is defective
Edit2: Same issue after the copy

did you really receive a blank instead of a value for inode size?
| Code: | | tune2fs -l /dev/hdb1 |
the whole output should look like:

Still no value for Inode size: ????
What is on the a drive??
Suggest either:
boot the cd,
| Code: | mount /dev/hdb3 /mnt/gentoo
mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/gentoo/boot
cat /mnt/gentoo/etc/lilo.conf
fdisk -l
mount
cat /mnt/gentoo/etc/fstab |
and post the results.
And/Or:
You appear to be using an old install cd as evidenced by the use of /dev/hd__ nomenclature. You likely installed a current kernel, which barring extraordinary effort by you will be using /dev/sd__ nomenclature for all hard drives and /dev/sr__ for cd/dvd. Whether this can screw up LILO's mapping or not I don't know. It might be worthwhile to get a system rescue cd http://www.sysresccd.org/Download , boot it (rescue64 at the boot prompt for a 64 bit install) to a gui, open firefox next to the terminal window, browse here, and use copy and paste from browser to terminal to run:
| Code: |
mke2fs -I 128 /dev/sdb1
mount /dev/sdb3 /mnt/gentoo
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/gentoo/boot
mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc
mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
env-update
source /etc/profile
export PS1="(chroot) $PS1" |
If you used make menuconfig, continue:
| Code: | cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
|
Or, if you used genkernel, continue:
| Code: | | genkernel --menuconfig all |
Edit the config as follows; except in the section I red highlighted, select your hard drive controllers with y (yes, <*>).

Then if using make menuconfig:
| Code: | make && make modules_install
cp arch/<your arch>/boot/bzImage /boot/<your kernel name> # substitute your values for <your arch> and <your kernel name> |
check /etc/lilo.conf and /etc/fstab are using /dev/sd__ nomenclature and are correct.
| Code: | dolilo # or lilo
exit
reboot |
Written from my first lilo boot in five years :-) . |

It was 128, I guess it's a copy/paste error.
Yes, I am using the 2008 CD as NONE of the new weekly build will properly boot on the system (keyboard refuses to work).
I really wish they would make a proper 2009 CD, as the auto-build process appears to be having a lot of issues. I guess I'll have to find another liveCD to boot of to do the install.

| Use the system rescue cd http://www.sysresccd.org/Download (rescue64 at the boot prompt for 64 bit). Gentoo based, current, GUI, firefox, grub, gparted ... |

using the system rescue CD didn't fix it, but it did help. I used the HD testing tool on it and realised I had no active partition on any disk. Having put the HD with the system on it back in master (sda), I used fdisk to mark sda1 as active. I also deleted an extra partion I wasn't using on the disk.
However, wanting to try ext4, I decided to make a backup of the install on the second disk and re-format the partition. As the backup did not get writen, I ended up doing a fresh install and I used grub instead. Not 100% sure what in this fixed it, but it boots now, so I'm marking as solved.
