Help-Upgrade from 4.3.3 to 4.5 Beta6 Fails/ stuck on bzroot dots

Featured Replies

Thank you for the help in advance.

 

I booted in 4.3.3 just fine. Visited Forums and realized new version. Copied onto flash bzimage and bzroot per readme. Now system hangs on bzroot dots, looks like it is about to start the server,  since the dots cross most of the screen....

 

Reverted back to 4.3.3 and have no boot issues. Started a new parity since console said the parity was now no longer valid. Ran syslog steps..

 

Attaching log Light_syslog.txt

 

Sorry, don't have a log from before the restore or able to provide 4.5 beta since it locks before the server is completely online.

 

MSI P43 Neo3

Celeron

 

Thanks

 

One of the possibilities whenever the boot stops while the dots are being displayed is a corrupted installation, perhaps from a bad download, or from a corrupted flash drive.  The fact that the super.dat file seems to have been deleted when you reloaded v4.3.3 may also indicate file system corruption, unless you accidentally deleted it when you installed either the old or new release.  You might test your flash drive in a Windows station with ScanDisk (check disk), then download again, and extract and install bzroot, bzimage, and memtest again to the flash.

 

You may also want to read over the relevant tips in the bottom section of the USB Flash Drive Preparation page.  It's possible that you need to redo your flash drive with a newer syslinux.exe.

 

By the way, it's probably too late now, but you could have used the Trust My Array procedure to quickly bring your array back up, without having to rebuild the parity info.

 

How many lines of dots do you see before it hangs?

Thank you Robj for the very prompt reply.

 

Great news/ update.

 

I just finished re-doing my lexar flash... from scratch. Copied the whole 4.5 beta6 and boooted without a problem... re-configured name of server from "tower" to "light" and assigned the devices as before. Currently running a new parity. I expect to be fully up and running after the parity completes.

 

FYi, I did delete the super.dat file you mentioned, but only after the initial file copy of bizimage and bizroot to upgrade had failed. I have no idea why my system did not like the jump from 4.3.3 to 4.5, but now all is good. I basicaly started from scratch. The data should be fine, just the hours to do a parity. A good idea since the server has been off for 4 months while I traveled.

 

Thanks again for the very prompt and spot on troubleshooting.

Hello I have an additional question based on the system log. This is my first time reading one, so just to be safe....

 

Log is split in 2 parts.

 

Disk4 reports errors: Does the log indicate that these are "cable" errors or a possible indication of HD failure?

Is there anything else in the log out of the ordinary?

 

Thanks for the expert assistance.

Can you get a smartctl report on that failing drive?

smartctl -a -d ata  /dev/sdd

 

The first error seems to be a "media error" everything after that seems consistent with the inability to read data from the drive.

un 19 02:33:41 Light kernel: ata4.00: configured for UDMA/133

Jun 19 02:33:43 Light kernel: ata4.00: error: { UNC }

My best guess will be a bad drive, but I'd first want to see a smartctl report on the drive before discounting the cable...  It is just that with a serial cable to the drive, if the cable is bad, drive communication and timeout errors are more likely if it is recognized by the BIOS at all.

 

Also, the UNC (uncorrectable) error is described as being frequently due to bad sectors on the disk in the ATA Wiki http://ata.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Libata_error_messages

 

Uncorrectable error - often due to bad sectors on the disk

You have some bad sectors on this drive, rather tightly clustered around the 240GB point I believe.  It's not completely clear from the SMART report (especially when you compare with the syslog) exactly how many are bad, and some may still be recoverable, because they are marked "Pending".  I would run a SMART long test on the drive, see the bottom of the Obtaining a SMART report section.  You will want to run this command, and it will take awhile:

 

  smartctl -d ata -tlong /dev/sdd

 

Once the drive has finished the test (perhaps run it overnight), then obtain another SMART report, and we can compare it with the earlier one.

SMART Error Log Version: 1

ATA Error Count: 76 (device log contains only the most recent five errors)

        CR = Command Register [HEX]

        FR = Features Register [HEX]

        SC = Sector Count Register [HEX]

        SN = Sector Number Register [HEX]

        CL = Cylinder Low Register [HEX]

Powered_Up_Time is measured from power on, and printed as

DDd+hh:mm:SS.sss where DD=days, hh=hours, mm=minutes,

SS=sec, and sss=millisec. It "wraps" after 49.710 days.

Selective self-test flags (0x0):

  After scanning selected spans, do NOT read-scan remainder of disk.

If Selective self-test is pending on power-up, resume after 0 minute delay.

 

Result is a little frustrating!  It did not finish the test, failed at 90%.  At first, I thought this must be another of those early failures often reported in the PreClear thread, but found that this was not a host abort, but a "read failure", and the sector it stopped at was one of those in the range listed in the syslog as bad sectors.  That is not good.  Perhaps because it did not finish the full test, it did not fully update the SMART parameters or deal with the 'Current Pending'.  It did not change the drive health status to Fail, but I don't know if that is because the test did not finish, or it did not think the read failure is serious enough.  Run the SMART short test, replace -tlong with -tshort, and let's see what it says on the report after that.  It only takes a few minutes, I think.  Apart from the abort when it hit one of the bad sectors, there do not appear to be any new problems reported.

 

After the short test, this may be a good time to run the read-only version of the Parity check, to force a read of all sectors, but not corrupt the parity info.  JoeL has some instructions somewhere, but I can't remember where.  Needs to be added to the Wiki.

Update: I will run the suggestions after the 4th of July. Going to be on the road for another 2 weeks. Probably will RMA the drive to Maxtor as soon as possible once all is confirmed.

 

Thanks again for the assistance.  Have a great 4th if in the US.
