Hi all,
My system is pretty much broken at this point and I cannot boot into ubuntu Please help. I have tried repairing using the Rescatux and Ubuntu secure remix (boot-repair) and no luck.This started after upgrading to Ubuntu 11.1. Previously, the system booted up and dropped me to a command prompt (some issue with the X-server)
I am seeing a error: sparse file not allowed if I try and boot up normally
If go to recovery mode then I get the following additional information
VFS: Cannot open root device "sda2" or unknown-block (0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option: here are all the available partitions:
Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0,0)
Pid: 1 comm: swapper Not tainted 3.0.0.12-generic #20 Ubuntu
I booted using the livecd and here is some of the info collected:

This is a gentle bump - which I am told is allowed once every 24 hours and my previous post says it has been there for 1 day.

A similar problem happened to me yesterday. I ended up reinstalling ubuntu. Like you I dual boot XP and Ubuntu 11.10 and like you, I could boot up XP just fine.
You will probably want to back up your home folder with the LiveCD before you reinstall.

Can you boot from a LiveCD?
You mentioned
(some issue with the X-server)I am very curious what issue it mentioned.
So from a LiveCD, go to your installed disk and partition and post these 2 file:
/var/log/Xorg.0.log
/var/log/syslog
...BUT, Please post those files between the CODE tags from the "#" button of the posting toolbar. That will put them withing a text box with scrollbars. If not, those 2 long files will take 50 screens to read...instead of one screen while scrolling.
I helped flyingfisch, but your's seems a little different ( at least so far).

How to solve this problem with Rescatux (http://www.supergrubdisk.org/rescatux/) (I hope so):
First of all make sure that you select Live AMD64 at boot screen if you installed a 64bit version of Ubuntu.
First of all try the: Grub. Update grub configuration option.
If it fails you should use the Filesystem Check (Fix forced) option and choose your Linux root partition.
Once you have done this it might boot but I don't actually think so. Thus you will have to run:
Grub. Update grub configuration option.
Restore Grub to the MBR option too.
Probably the last one won't be needed. Not sure.

I think the keyword there would be
Not sure.With Grub2, If you get the Grub Menu, the MBR is good, has booted and has read the filesystem of /boot/grub/grub.cfg successfully... So reinstalling and configuring is not going to get this OP anywhere.
Although, if in that Grub Menu he selects one on the "Recovery" menu items, if he selects the "root" option. Then he can see to boots messages and see where it goes. If it hangs, he can see where it the messages before it hung. If it boots to a TTY Text console Root promt, then we can rule out the kernel itself.
If it hangs, he can try an earlier kernel and see if it boots.
If it boot to the root prompt- Then he could type "exit" and get back to the recovery menu. There is 2 options for filesystem- One option (remount) is to mount all filesystems. The other is fsck which would check the filsystems on the next boot. The first option on the 11.10 Recovery menu is "resume" which uses the failsafe script and configuration to boot with 9 module scripts instead of 30 plus...with low-graphics mode.
If there was a problem with your just your fstab, even if messaging where turned of, you would be at the Plymouth Splash (Ubuntu with the red and white does) and you would get a message displaying an error in fstab and display that particular fstab line...
I really think we'll find your problem in your Xorg log, but if not, it will surely be in your syslog.

Here are the events which happened.
1. Ubuntu installed and chugging along fine
2. Changed graphics card and monitor and X dies (roughly 3 years ago) (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=944874)
3. I get nowhere trying to fix it. Lose interest in the whole thing and shelve Ubuntu
4. Dec 5th this year I get inspired and try to revive the system
5. I think I booted into and got the command prompt for 6.06 LTS
6. I download the LiveCD remix of Ubuntu
7. I decided to upgrade Ubuntu in place to 11.1
8. Now system doesnt boot and I get a Kernel panic for 11.1
9. I try many different repair combinations using Rescatux and Ubuntu Live CD remix (Boot-repair - Grub re-installs, MBR restores etc)
10. None work... leading to my post on the forums...
Also note the following responses to various questions
1. I forced a check on the filesystem but that returned remarkably quickly and did not report errors
2. I see the Grub menu
- selecting latest kernel result in the sparse files and system hang
- selecting latest kernel in recovery mode results in sparse files and panic (see details in my original post
- selecting any other previous kernels simply causes the system to reboot
3. I don't see a root option when i select the recovery kernel (just a sparse files message) and press enter to continue - leading up to the messages around the panic
Thanks for reading about my long sad story. Hope it helps in understanding what has happened how it could be solved.

Yes, you are probably right. There is not usually need to reinstall grub to the mbr. But the fsck command run from Rescatux might move the hard disk position of grub2 needed files, and that could lead to "Grub2 not finding its own files" error. To solve this problem you need to run the Restore Grub to the MBR option from Rescatux.
But his problem (I forgot to mention this little detail :) ) is:
VFS: Cannot open root device "sda2" or unknown-block (0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option: here are all the available partitions:
Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0,0)
Pid: 1 comm: swapper Not tainted 3.0.0.12-generic #20 Ubuntu
which usually means that either the grub.cfg is incorrect, which sometimes happens when you upgrade or that actually the system cannot mount the root fs.
If the system cannot mount the root fs I doubt that you can get to recovery screen but you might after all.
In the case that cannot mount the root fs you can fix that with the Rescatux fsck option I have mentioned. Might it be that the Ubuntu fsck option that you mentioned, the one that it is found on the recovery screen, has forced fix... but I am not quite sure about that. If it had the forced fix then you could use that instead of Rescatux fsck option.
If the problem is an incorrect grub then running the update-grub command is the way to go. From Rescatux is using the Update grub configuration option.
There could be a third possibility about drivers. I mean... Maybe the last system could mount read that hard disk ok but the current one (due to some faulty drivers) cannot read the same hard disk ok.

...
5. I think I booted into and got the command prompt for 6.06 LTS
...
Usually when going from 6.06 to 11.10 or any other big jumps (That's 5 years!) it is recommended to save your /home directory and make a clean install and restore your /home directory.
Depending on your needs you might want to save your installed packages list.
Please ask someone else if you are interested in this path.
1. I forced a check on the filesystem but that returned remarkably quickly and did not report errors
If you mean that you forced it by the means of Rescatux (and that you selected the right partition) I would like to see its log. Support. Share log on forum option might assist you.

So lets backup a bit. There is NO current upgrade path from 6.xx to 11.10. The online path for that to happen ended years ago. You could have done it manually if you had all the alternate install CDs for each and went incremental for each version up to 10,04, then to 11.10. But if you tried to go all at once, then poof. Then even with the filesystems? Trying to convert Ext2 to a system that does Ext4... then theres your sign.
It would have to be a clean, fresh, new install of 11.10. Even then, the one thing you need to know = The make and model of your video card. (Yes back to that). Because 11.10 does a lot more than just VGA graphics that was in 6.x.
If you boot on a LiveCD, go to a terminal session:
lspci -vnn | grep VGA
If you can post the results of that, I give you instructions and which Video driver you need to install. In the meantime. you can use a LiveCD to bckup any data you want off it, taking into consideration that the drive need to be repartitioned and reformatted. If you have that on a network, from the LiveCD you could mount a drive thru "network" to your other PC to temporarily store those file there (I use my fileservers).

Hi.. and thank you again for bearing with me on this epic journey :)
I am using ReiserFS on both the systems. It looks like I can still mount the filesystem using the liveCD so it doesnt look like there is anything corrupt per se.
I ran the force check and it looks like it even though it reported it ran correctly on the GUI the log says it skipped the check...
I am thinking at this point to do fresh install... do I have kill off all my partitions or can i just install in parallel? I remember I setup some extra software way back when backuppc which has some backed up files on it do you think i can recover those?
This is a semi-automated message generated from Rescatux live cd (http://www.supergrubdisk.org).

Hi.. and thank you again for bearing with me on this epic journey :)
I am using ReiserFS on both the systems. It looks like I can still mount the filesystem using the liveCD so it doesnt look like there is anything corrupt per se.
I ran the force check and it looks like it even though it reported it ran correctly on the GUI the log says it skipped the check...
I am thinking at this point to do fresh install... do I have kill off all my partitions or can i just install in parallel? I remember I setup some extra software way back when backuppc which has some backed up files on it do you think i can recover those?
This is a semi-automated message generated from Rescatux live cd (http://www.supergrubdisk.org).
My description of my system is:
Ubuntu 11.1 - kernel panic
My problem is:
system not booting after getting grub menu
I join the Rescatux output for fsck_log.txt :
Thank you very much for your help!

lspci is a command in the Linux CLI to list all the devices loaded on the PCI bus. You would have to do that from a Linux terminal session. Filter like I posted will norrow it down to the video and display just the info you need. If you booted from a Ubuntu LiveCD or Debian LiveCD... etc. you could do it from a terminal session. I'm not familiar with Rescutux, but you could probably get to a terminal session from there and also do it.
You should be able to install in the same partitions and it will format it accordingly. You will have to use other/manual, which will let you pick/change the partition > use, mount at "/", then format. And if you were using a swap > select the old > done.

Thanks.
Somehow the command was not available thru command line on Rescatux. I booted back on the Ubuntu secure remix LiveCD and ran the command. output is:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ lspci -vnn | grep VGA

If it reformats partitions it sounds like all the data would be lost? Does it matter that the ReiserFS is installed there?

From the Ubuntu live CD i was able to run ReiserFS

All I know about "ReiserFS," is that the smalll group supporting and developing that project disolved in early 2008, shortly after Hans Reiser, the developer, founder of NameSys, etc was found guilty of murdering his wife. Not much has been mentioned of that project or file system in the 2 1/2 years since. Novell and Suse moved away from it, then everyone else followed suit.
You could just format the partitions in ReiserFS and in the partitioner, unselect format... If you wanted to hang on to that filesystem, you could. Or you could select ext4, which is to default, is also a journaling filesystem and does have the reputation that ReiserFS had in data and tree corruption.
I fyou are worried about the Home or just data there- Boot from a LiveCD, mount your other PC's drive to copy over the data to a shared drive. Use compression if you're worried about space.

Wow, that is bad for the community (and for his family) from what i remember the fs was fast and becoming popular back then.
Thanks for all the advice guys. It is much appreciated. I am going to attempt to move all my data and so a fresh install.
Wish me luck.

Ok, installed startupmanager and mucked with to make the startup screen better. Installed "current version" on nvidia driver and the resolution went up to 1024x768. which is kinda bearable. Any ideas on getting it beyond that number?

What is the make and model of your monitor?
If you look above you'll see the error. That your monitor is not returning any EDID data. We can get your resolutions back via adding those modes back in manually.
Please post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.
Please install hwinfo
sudo apt-get install hwinfo
And post the results of
sudo hwinfo --framebuffer
sudo hwinfo --monitor
xrandr -q
Then I'll go through that data, compute the modeline data for you and put that into your xorg.conf file.

I am using ReiserFS on both the systems.
I join the Rescatux output for fsck_log.txt :
fsck: fsck.reiserfs: not found
fsck: Error 2 while executing fsck.reiserfs for /dev/sda2
It seems that Rescatux does not support reiserfs (https://forja.cenatic.es/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1369&group_id=205&atid=931). I will have to fix that.
it doesnt look like lspci is available there... i will run it and post back the results
It is not a bad a idea for having a hardware information option (https://forja.cenatic.es/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1371&group_id=205&atid=934).
Thank you again for the log!
Good luck with your new installation.

Then I'll go through that data, compute the modeline data for you and put that into your xorg.conf file.
Did I mention thank you and you are the best already :)? Thanks again! .
You too adrian15... thank a lot trying to help me out and creating the bug reports. One comment on Rescatux would be if the reiserfs check failed I would have expected the GUI just to let me know it failed rather than letting me think that the fs check was ok... just my 2 cents.

Your monitor is still not giving it's edid data... But also, your nvidia driver is there, but not configured.
While I am creating the modelines for you, could you go to a terminal. run this command, then post the new /etc/X11/xorg.conf file?
sudo nvidia-xconfig

Great thanks MAFoElffen!!
I tried the copy over when I booted up I see the display but some reason the white lines are going through a portion of it (both in the login screen and post login) and if i move my mouse in that area it looks like there are two mouse pointers (one where it actually is and the other a few inches away only showing the stuff from the white lines)
So I went the System -> display and changed the setting to the 1400 x 1050 (4:3) even though this is a wide screen and things look good now - after logging in pre-login i still get the white lines.
I am pretty good with this resolution... but just not sure if there is anything else going wrong which I should be looking for.
Thanks again.

Are you setting the resolution via nvidia-settings (Nvidia XServer Settings) and not via Monitors right?
nhasan
December 12th, 2011, 07:32 PM
hmmm... probably doing it using the Monitors way (I actually clicked on the top right corner (the gear like option) and selected the displays from there.
When I am at home I will try using nvidia-settings.

I tried the nvidia-settings and it looks like (perhaps) it does like the format of the preferred mode? The application loads despite the error but the configuration page displays the same error (and nothing else)

Let me re-look at that mode... Wait one.
MAFoElffen
December 13th, 2011, 05:13 AM
Okay, first try this- Deltee or comment out the "Mode" line in the Screen Section of Screen0.
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Device0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
# Modes "1600x1200" "1440x900" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600"
EndSubSection
EndSection
Save and try.
Then if it still has the white lines in mode 1600x1200 60.00 then comment out the modeline for it in the "Monitor" Section and add this one to replace it...
Modeline "1600x1200 60.00" 160.96 1600 1704 1880 2160 1200 1201 1204 1242 -HSync +Vsync
I calculated all the modelines using the cvt utility. This one above is calculated using the gft utility. If that works, then test the other resolutions and see if they need to be recalc'ed.
On nvidia-settings itself: If you're not starting it from the menu or app launcher, then use
gksudo nvidia-settings
Unless you are already as root.
With Nvidia, forget the Monitor applet is there and make your adjustments there. Even people 9w/ nvidia) who don't have any graphics troubles- if they change res via the Monitor applet, then the graphics get really slow and it acts if your computer is bogged down.

Thanks MAFoElffen.
After removing the line I am getting a 1024x768 display. When I startup the nvidia-settings I see the following message (both in the Xserver config and on the command line):
Unable to load X Server Display Configuration page:

from metamode:

I tried to add the following line into the xorg.conf
Modes "1440x900" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600"
I still got an error similar to the one above (but now about 1440x900) - it did give options to set the higher resolutions thru the monitor applet. I commented it out and rebooted and now I am back to the 1024x768 error.
Not sure what to do... please help.

Modes "1440x900" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600"I still got an error similar to the one above (but now about 1440x900) - it did give options to set the higher resolutions thru the monitor applet. I commented it out and rebooted and now I am back to the 1024x768 error.
Not sure what to do... please help.

Okay... I recalculated everything 3 different ways and put it into your (now) new xorg.conf file:

I documented this config file on how to use it and what to change. I figure since the Monitor, is not giving the EDID data to the Xserver, then Xserver was erroring out on parsing a modeline... but not telling us why(?) I just gave both of us something to test and hopefully work.
For now, since there is both different modelines for the same reslutions, as there are different refresh rates, I tried to slim it down, while still giving us some flexibility. Read through the comments in the above posted file. I color coded the code in the post so that You might follow it easier-...
If you wanted to change your resolution or if we need to test to a different modeline for a particularr resolution, you are going to need to edit this file, rather than let one of the automated applets. This is a work-around to solve a problem and those applets aren't geared for that.
Rather than cut-and-pasting the file... If you could download the attached file (same file), it might be better, as sometimes posting vs. is different in the formatting. I want you to have all chances at success with this... I least I'm hoping for that.
If you get "any" error, post your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file, on parsing errors, it usually shows what line number or some kind of clue... Without that, I have to look and guess.

Great thanks MAFoElffen...
Now it looks I am stuck again. Here are the steps
1. The xorg.conf file was using UseMode I tried several different resolutions but they all failed
Would see the splash screen
Ubuntu would freeze
Ctrl-Alt-Del to restart and edit grub to boot kernel as "text"
get the ttyl and edit the xorg.conf for next resolution
2. I looked at X.org.log and saw the error related to the modes
3. looked at man xorg.conf and saw it should be UseModes
4. Changed the settings in xorg.conf and it looks like it is complaining in the X.org.log that I am not setting a Preferred mode?
With the UseModes change I can not <-- (meant to say can) boot into X and get 1024x768 resolution for now ;)
I am attaching the modified xorg.conf and a couple of Xorg.0.log files which show the results of setting with the NV option vs CV option
Please take a look :)

Sorry on the typo... Yes, frustratingly it's ignoring the "PreferredMode" and then using autoselect.
Just for a test, I added a few more pointers to 1440x900 and slimmed it down to just that resolution.

You are the man!!
:guitar::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:
I tried out the config (minor edit on the fasle --> false and then the nv_config didnot give the best results (the screen was off to one side). Tried the cvt_config and perfection!!
The screen before booting is higher resolution and once logged in it was lower resolution so I chose the 1440x900 using the Monitor applet and voila a beautiful screen :)
Thanks a lot MAFoElffen for taking the time and effort to help me out. It is much appreciated.
Thanks a lot and I wish you the best.
