Errors After Upgrade & Kernel Switch ZFS Grub Udev [Solved]

[tonyawards]

I just did an equo update & upgrade that included grub 2.00, sys-fs/zfs-userspace-20120730, glib, and some 80+ other packages. ZFS did not appear to go too well:

I then rebooted after the upgrades installed, and got several "clock skew detected" messages in the startup sequence. It also appears to hang a bit in a couple of spots (I have not yet determined where).

Shutdown is now giving two errors as well (this is paraphrased):

Code: Select all

Shutting down LVs & VGs
Logical Volume vg_zenboy contains a filesystem still in use

and

udev failed to stop normally - start-stop-daemon - 2 processes failed to stop

It does force past these !!errors and will finally shut down, although it did not on the first reboot after the upgrades - I had to kill it.

All the entropy/equo and update packages were up to date before any of these upgrades, by the way.

Moving on, I then installed the 3.5.0-r3 kernel and sources via kernel-switcher and got another error. (The output here is from a reinstall of the kernel after reinstalling the zfs-userpace, which is why it says 3.5.0 is already installed):

As I mentioned, this is actually the output from the reinstall of the kernel. After the first install of 3.5 I reinstalled the zfs-userpace but got no errors like I did the first time, so I then reinstalled the kernel to see if I got the same output, which I did.

Any ideas as to what has happened here - I don't use zfs; does it even matter?

As for grub, although a grub 2.00 package came through in the upgrade set, it shows that I still have grub 1.99 running, but the interface looks rather different now, as do the options. On inital boot, I get a very brief flicker on screen of "error:file not found" before the first new-looking screen (options are Sabayon GNU/LINUX and Advanced Options for Sabayon Gnu/Linux). When I select the second choice "Advanced options for Sabayon-linux" I get:

Code: Select all

error: file not found (this line is repeated several times)
Loading Linux x_86 3.5.0-sabayon
Loading initial ramdisk
Press any key to continue

If I press a key, I get the old familiar choice of kernels list - If I do nothing and don't press a key, it will still boot into 3.5.0 after a delay, but this is a bit confusing at the moment, not sure if it's correct (and the two separate displays of the "file not found" notices in grub definitely don't look right to me).

****************************************************

This is a mishmash of stuff, I know, but as it all came up in the same upgrade and kernel-switch, I am trying to figure how/if they are all related...

The system does boot (though slower) and it does shut down (also slower). I'm in 3.5.0 and have removed all the 3.4.0 stuff, and it appears to be running normally once it boots up, but I wonder what did not get installed just right.

BTW, the clock skew notifications (there were several in the first reboot after the inital upgrade set) seem to have gone away after a few of these reboots, but could that have corrupted some things in the big upgrade if it was going on then? How can I fix or even detect if that in fact happened?

Any ideas as to what all this is? - and is this (2 sequential screens) the correct new sequence &/or look for grub 1.99?

I really had no good idea for a subject line or forum category for all this, so it wound up here - feel free to move it if it belongs somewhere else...

Thank you all.

[lxnay]

You can ignore the zfs-userspace issue, it's not binary-package related. I've just fixed it.

[lxnay]

You can ignore the linux-sabayon warnings as well (fixing them right now...).

[lxnay]

Slower boot:
I think it's due to the clock skew. 99% of the times, it's because of that.

GRUB 2.00:
Reinstalling GRUB on the MBR (or partition) fixes it [grub2-install /dev/sdX]. Please make sure that your /boot/grub/grub.cfg is up-to-date as well (generally this is done every time you install a new kernel, but please double check) [grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg.new] and compare the output against /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
Everybody knows that grub 2.00 is a pita...

[tonyawards]

Thank you, lxnay. I'll just not worry about the zfs errors, then.

I reinstalled grub-2 directly from entropy but am still getting the same “error: file not found” messages in grub. But it still boots past grub just fine, whether I make choices or not. I performed:

Code: Select all

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg.new

and compared it with grub.cfg – they look the same to me. I'll post the output here for reference:

As to the other issues, my “clock skew detected” warnings had gone, but it was still hanging on boot. On a hunch, I looked at /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf – and (see this thread: http://forum.sabayon.org/viewtopic.php? ... 6&start=10) once again, an update (I still think it's kde version changes) had wiped the added “blacklist wl” from my file. Added it back in and it is booting right through at normal speed.

This has also eliminated one of my shutdown “fails” - the “udev – 2 processes failed to stop” error is gone now.

The other shutdown error “failed: logical volume contains a filesystem still in use” is still there, but the next line in the shutdown sequence force kills it with next to no time wasted. ( The weird zfs-userspace errors wouldn't have anything to do with that, would they?)

And I still show grub as 1.99 on its main screen, but like you said, 2.oh-no. I miss 0.97, worked fine for me...

Thanks again, lxnay, for your clarifications.

Run grub2-install! Read my previous post

Ah, oops - sorry about that.

Ran

Code: Select all

localhost # grub2-install /dev/sda
Installation finished. No error reported.

Grub is now looking good, no more "error: file not found" messages.

I rechecked

Code: Select all

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg.new

and the grub.cgf and grub.cgf.new are the same as well.

Thanks, lxnay; sorry I misread your specifics earlier.

No problem, good that it worked
