Upgraded to lasted version. Stuck at boot.

[impmonkey]

I updated to the latest stable version and now my system will not boot.

This is the prompt it stops at:

I have tried to boot in safe mode without luck. Sometimes it will hang at the "strarting RPC NSM" prompt also.

I have tried removing all my custom lines in the go file along with the sysconfig file without luck.

 

Any ideas?

It seems to hang up somewhere in that area of the boot. This last time it was at the "compiling GSettings"

Will Test Ram and Report back.

Memory tested fine. I am at a loss at this point.

Download the latest version of the software from the LimeTech website.  Unzip the file and copy all of the bz* files to the root of your flash drive.

6.5.3 stopped at starting NTP

6.5.2 stopped at the same Network Status Monitor

 

bad usb drive???

[Frank1940]

Pull the flash drive, plug it into a PC and run chkdsk on it. 

[impmonkey]

Ran it. Found bunch of errors, coverted lost chains to rec files.

Ran it again with the switches /f /r /x

 

Completed, ejected, inserted into server.

Stopped at starting SAMBA again.

 

I have a backup of the config file. I might just try to move it to a new drive.

Any other ideas?

Installed to a new usb key with the installer. 

Copied my config folder to the drive, ejected, booted on server.

Same thing.....

 

Odd

OK try remaking the new flash drive without copying the configurations files/folders.   

[impmonkey]

Tried to use a fresh install.

Same thing.

Removed my dedicated gpu, went down to one stick of ram, removed extra nic card, disconnected drives.

Same thing.

 

Maybe I need an older version that what is currently on the site. Not sure of the exact version I had but it was older than 6.5.2

 

Any know issues with the c602 chipset boards? Running a Gigabyte GA-7PESH1 board with dual Xeons and about 96gb of memory.

Found an old copy of 6.3.5. Copied the BZ* files to the root of the drive. Boots right up.

For sure something weird on 6.5.X.

Any way I can troubleshoot this?

It has been quite a while without a response.  What I would suggest is that you post up to the release thread for 6.5.3 (that is the version that you upgrade to?) and briefly list the steps you took and a link to this thread.  Lime Tech does not monitor this sub-forum as religiously as they do the release threads.  Perhaps, they will have some thoughts as where to go from here.
