Boot problems after Upgrade OpenSuse 13.1 to 13.2, dependency failed for local file systems etc.

Hi

recently I upgraded from opensuse 13.1 to 13.2 using the procedure


zypper refresh
zypper update
zypper dist-upgrade

I have a Samsung rc530 with optimus techmology so I had installed also bumblebee together with the nvidia drivers and the kernel-devel packages. During upgrade I got error messags while updating the bootloader…

Perl-Bootloader: 2015-03-28 22:48:50 <3> pbl-3771.2 FileIO::ReadFile.85: Error: Failed to open /boot/grub2/device.map: No such file or directory

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.
Updating bootloader failed

During upgrade I removed the kernel-devel and bumblebee – because I thought they where not neccessary (false assumtion, now I know…:wink: and presumably these error messages belong to that fact. I’m just guessing. After the upgrade I added bumblebee and kernel-devel again and got boot problems related to the proper nvidia drivers but somhow I managed to boot anyway.

Now it does not boot anymore. The boot messages at that time did not inidcate any error, it got stuck at …

[OK] Started Machine Check Ecxeption logging Daemon

… for no apparent reason and nothing happend.It just halted.

Then I tried the rescue CD (x64bit) approach to try rebuilding kernel modules with mkinitrd, I guessed only to check for errors during building


cd /mnt
su -
# mount the root partition to /mnt
mount /dev/sda7 /mnt
# add devices etc.
mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev;
mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc
mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys
# now in root mode, can do any repair even yast
chroot /mnt
mkinitrd
exit # change back from chroot to rescue login

The mkinitrd succeded, no errors. I also tried even a


zypper update

But now it does boot only into the emergency mode after it tries to mount devices and cannot succeed; the output from journalctl -xb

If I read it I don not know what to do

  1. with the kernel BUG messages
  2. with the “Failed to start udev Coldplug all Devices”
  3. with the “Job dev-disk-by… timed out.“ and “Dependency failed for /xy-mountpoint”

It seems it does not pass the mounting of the devices and partitions and then halts in emergency mode.

Is it an issue with

  • udev ?
  • with the kernel ?
  • or a configuration problem?
  • or a systemd issue?
  • or somthing with lvm (whatever this needs as setup)?
  • or something other?

I don’t know where to start and what exacly to do. Please help :-/

Thank you very much!!

That’s the crucial line, I think.

And your kernel is tainted with proprietary drivers, so you can not open
a bug report, it will probably be ignored.

Two partitions failed to mount, and that usually causes drop to
emergency mode. Comment out those two in fstab.


Cheers / Saludos,

Carlos E. R.

(from 13.1 x86_64 “Bottle” (Minas Tirith))

If those two partition are Win 8 or above be sure you have turned off fast boot in Windows it can case things not to mount because it does not do a clean shut down the the Windows file system,

Thanks for the reply

actually there are more, from journalctrl --lines=10000 I find it does not mount in the following order

  1. swap partition
  2. /windows/C
  3. /windows/D
  4. /home
  5. /windows/E

all fail with “Dependency failed for …”

Commenting out the windows partitions in fstab or add the option “noauto” in the 4th optionfield in fstab did not help. It reached only the rescue mode.
Booting from hard drive at the following point …


[OK] Start Activation of LVM2 logical volumes 
  *** ] (1 of 2) A start job is running for dev-disk-by\x2d... partX.devices

… it seem to go through the devices specified in fstab. When I deactivated the windows partitions it tries to do 2 jobs to mount somehow swap and /home but fails with a timout and the messages “Dependency faild for … swap/home” and then halts in rescue mode.

However when I load via the rescue CD it also displays the messages “A start job is running for dev …” or “A start job is running for udev wait for complete Device initiation…” and they succeed. I also noticed an odd behaviour when I use the rescue CD, sometimes after the GUI setup I cannot mount any device saying something like “you are not allowed to mount” and sometimes it works. For the case of booting by the rescue CD I realized I can succedd when I plug off all USB devices and later after GUI setup is finished, I plug them in and it works but I do not know which combinition does not work and which does. Odd …
Once during rescue CD boot

  • the network service faild and the boot halted
  • another time the swap failed to be mounted but the GUI succeded

Hm. Still no clue…

  • is the udev neccessary during boot?

Ok confused, where did the LVM come from? There don’t appear to be any LVM containers in the partition list. LVM should not be an issue

Confused :wink: me too. I don’t know where exactly the LVM activation comes from maybe some earlier upgrade? As the journalctl reports


systemd[1]: Starting Activation of LVM2 logical volumes... 
lvm[467]: No volume groups found

… it should be save to deactivate this, right?

I tried deactivation of lvm2 services …


systemd-analyze blame
# found only: lvm2-activation-early.service, lvm2-activation.service
# then systemctl disable did nothing but mask did
systemctl mask lvm2-activation-early.service
systemctl mask lvm2-activation.service

Is that the correct way to deactivate those services?

When I deactivated them this way it also halted at rescue mode after

  *** ] (1 of 2) A start job is running for dev-disk-by\x2d... partX.devices

…. Hm …

How can I check if there are any LVM setting set or not? I like to be on the save site and rule out any problem issue if possible to narrow the search.

Well it may have simple been checking if there were any LVM.

I thought you could not boot to the system how did you run systemd-analyze??

If you ran it from a Live DVD boot that is a different system you are booting and you would have to do a chroot to work the installed system.

maybe run fschk against those partition.

Also smartctl

Yes I cannot boot but when the system halts I’m asked to enter the rescue mode and do repairs in that case I could systemd-analyze. I noticed already that this is different from within the rescue DVD and chroot

The tests of fsck and smartctl seem fine, if I’m not mistaken:

Just a thought that it might be a hardware issue.

Don’t think you told us how you upgraded. If online upgrade maybe you had an old 13.1 repo active.

Yes, he did, on the first post.

True, that’s a possibility.

Also, do not forget that we can clearly see a kernel Oops in the logs…
that does affect things.


Cheers / Saludos,

(from 13.1 x86_64 “Bottle” (Minas Tirith))

Hi again,

If I had a 13.1 repo active that time what would be the solution?

  • zypper install --force large-list-of-packages-to-reinstall ?
  • zypper dist-upgrade again?

Now I also must summarize for myself, because I also did some other things in the meantime:

  • Kernel is: 3.16.7-7-default
  • it does not boot yet and halts at “Starting Machine Check Exception Logging Daemon” (see below)
  • I removed the bumblebee & nvidia packages stuff because the nvidia driver got not loaded anyway
  • I checked modbrobe for any nividia modules and removed them (“modprobe --showconfig | grep nvidia” then old conf files from 2011 “cd /etc/modprobe.d && rm -i 50-newid.conf*” followed by “mkinitrd”)
  • I removed devel packages of the kernel (see below)

zypper seach --installed-only nvidia && zypper search --installed-only bumblebee # remove then those many packages
zypper remove --clean-deps nvidia-bumblebee nvidia-gfxG03-kmp-default nvidia-glG03 nvidia-uvm-gfxG03-kmp-default bumblebee nvidia-bumblebee
zypper search --installed-only --type srcpackage # checking for source packages
# No packages found, so It should be save now to delete devels of kernel?
zypper remove --clean-deps kernel-default-devel kernel-devel kernel-macros rpm-build

Now when I reboot it halts again at “Started Machine Check Exception Logging Daemon.” an no further boot screen message appears but the journal records some more events (I extracted them from journalctl --since=2015-04-18):


... many more previous journal entries (no apparent failures)...

Does it give some clues or do you need also the previous journal logs?
Could the setup of cleaning temporary directories interfere or caus the halt?

You need the devel package if you install anything NVIDIA not sure why you keep removing things. Bumblebee is needed if you have an optimus system if you have an optimus system do not install the NVIDIA driver use the NVIDIA-bumblebee driver

Show us zypper lr -d

Here is the present log, it halts at “Starting Machine Check Exception Logging Daemon” on the boot screen I waited 5 minutes and journal furthers but seem to halt at “Starting Stop Read-Ahead Data Collection”

By the way would it be a good idea to

  • check if zypper repositories are valid 13.2 and …
  • perform a zypper dist-upgrade a second time upon the present installation?

Far far too many repos. Were all those active when you did zypper dup?? When upgrading vi online you should only have the base repos active. I have no idea if one or more of that long list of repos presents a potential conflict. My guess that it does.

Bumblebee is needed if and only if you have a machine which is Optimus based. If you do have such a machine you do need at least bumblebee the NVIDIA-bumblebee package is optional. If you have it you absolutely do not want to install the regular NVIDIA driver

OK I understand. At that time from 13.1 to 13.2 I checked each repo manually before zypper dup:

  • when there was an equivalent repo for 13.2 i replaced my 13.1 repo entry with the new URL and also renamed the repo name accordingly to 13.2
  • when there was no equivalent repo for 13.2 I deactivated it
  • then I did the zypper clean -a && zypper ref && zypper dup, I followed the German manual https://de.opensuse.org/SDB:Distribution-Upgrade

Maybe not the elegant way but what action would you recommend now?

  1. again zypper dup with only basic repos and let all the extra repo packages become deleted?
  2. again zypper dup with basic repos and valid 13.2. repos from extra resources?
  3. zypper install --force with-a-list-of-all-installed-packages
  4. another solution?

I would hope that choice 2 would do it. Any other opinion? Thank you.

no no just doing a dup with that many is Russian roulette Many repos especially personal ones may have all sorts of out of date or even not released files in it dup bring all that cruft in.

Do dup only with the base repos ( note you can include packman but disable all others until after the version update then just do a zypper up not a dup)I figure you will see a lot packages down graded.

your 3rd suggestion is crazy god only knows what it would do

You could also just download the DVD and do an update install from there. much much safer particularly with the mess of repos you have. Have you found a repo yet you did not want ?:stuck_out_tongue:

So you would suggest basically

  • that I disable as many repos as possible, activate only base repos + packman the do zypper dup

That leaves the question what shall I do with packages I need urgently

  • mediawiki
  • php
  • nginx
  • pyodbc

I need those for programming purposes and pyodbc for a django programm project is time consuming configuration with a client that has only a Microsoft SQL Server on the other end. I don’t want to loos those configurations. And as I understand it, if I deactivate let say the repo mediawiki, I would loose also perhaps media in it or the configuration.

So I guess it’s my job to draw the line carefully, that only a few repos for 13.2 are active during zypper dup. Well let’s see what happens after that. I’ll be back :wink:

Once the upgrade is done re-enabale the repos do a zypper up. That problem is that a a dup will bring in all installed package from every enabled repo. Some of those repos will conatain packages that may break things in the base install. So you get package at different versions which often break basic OS functionality. So for most repos you do not want to do a dup on them unless you fully understand all the packages that may be replaced. Up just moves the current package to a newer version from the designated vendor (repo) it wil not install newer packages from a different vendor

Having that many repos is just plain dangerous and you need to be aware of the possible consequences of pulling in essentially random files via dup

dup is only meant for OS ver upgrades any other upgrades are done via up. So only the base repos should be active.The exception is if you run Tumbleweed. But even there you don’t want a ton of who knows what is in them repos.
