Probing edd arch linux

A subreddit for the Arch Linux user community for support and useful news. Locked in protest at the 3rd party apps situation. Please do NOT send join requests or message the mods to join, they will be ignored and archived.

I want to install Windows 10 on its dedicated hard drive (only for gaming) but first I refreshed my Arch iso USB in case of problems as recommended in the wiki. Problem: when booting off of the Arch iso USB the boot sequence is stuck quite early, just after «Probing EDD». The message below is IIRC «running early hook [udev]», then nothing happens.

I’d rather fix my arch iso USB before doing anything with Windows 10, Cyberpunk 2077 can wait a few days 🙂

Arch Linux

I read the user who recently asked about this same problem, but i could not solve it.

What happens is, I try to boot and it, stops on Probing EDD and then reboots on me.

I put in the bootloader and did:

arch root=/dev/sda4 (my root partition) and it loaded up.
I tried a /sbin/lilo -v and it give me this error: Fatal: raid_setup: stat(«/dev/hda»)

I don’t have a raid setup though. not sure what this means.

arch
mount /dev/sda4 /mnt
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot
mount —bind /dev /mnt/dev
mount-t proc none /mnt/proc
mount -t sysfs none /mnt/sys
chroot /mnt

then tried to run lilo and the same thing happens.

I also tried the Arch fallback and that fails, saying Kernel panic — not syncing. Attempted to kill init!

I found one more thing to try right now.

anyone know what this could be?

Re: [SOLVED] Probing EDD then system reboots .

I cannot fix this! I have no idea what to do or what happened.

Re: [SOLVED] Probing EDD then system reboots .

Ok.. when I try to boot the Arch Fallback. it stops on this error message:

Kernel panic — not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(3,4)

How could I find out what exactly my root partition is? I am booting the arch bootloader disk with this command: arch root=/dev/sda4 and I am pretty sure that is the root fs because I can go into my user folders and see files on the harddrive. But, In my /etc/fstab it says /dev/hda4 / ext3 for the root partition.

Also, everytime I boot in with the bootloader cd, it gives me a FILESYSTEM CHECK FAILED.

Re: [SOLVED] Probing EDD then system reboots .

root partition is definetly /dev/hda4.

I am booting with install/bootloader cd with: arch root=/dev/sda4 and it gets me in with a FILESYSTEM CHECK FAILED. I then mount -n -o remount,rw /

I run lilo and I get this error: Fatal: raid_setup: stat(«/dev/hda»)

I cannot figure this out for the life of me. Someone please help.

Re: [SOLVED] Probing EDD then system reboots .

You really need to give us the config files if you expect any help — you’re posts so far are nothing but confusing. You mix up boot=/root= and sda/hda, so we don’t know what’s really going on. Please give lilo.conf and fstab at least.

Are you using grub on your installation, or did you install lilo? Which wiki article did you follow?

Have you had a successful linux install recently? What hardware (including type of disk)?

For lilo, typically «boot=/dev/sda» (disk with the bootloader) and «root=/dev/sda4» (root partition).

Re: [SOLVED] Probing EDD then system reboots .

Here’s what I mean, you have:

root=/dev/sda4 (my root partition)
boot=/dev/sda4
/dev/hda4 / ext3 for the root
boot=/dev/sda4
root partition is definetly /dev/hda4
root=/dev/sda4

Fatal: raid_setup: stat(«/dev/hda»)
Fatal: raid_setup: stat(«dev/hda»)

None of boot/root/sda/hda are interchangeable.

Re: [SOLVED] Probing EDD then system reboots .

Thanks you for the reply. Sorry for the confusion, I fixed my typo’s in my previous post’s. I use lilo. I am not sure how to copy my config files, I dual boot this computer and right now I can only use windows.

boot=/dev/hda (which is maybe why I am getting this Fatal: raid_setup: stat: («/dev/hda») error? It tries to boot up /dev/hda4 as root from the lilo.conf. Should I try switching them to /dev/sda4?

I have been running Arch for quite awhile now, and nothing like this has ever happened. I installed it years ago.

I tried the wiki articals on Boot Recovery, almost all of them. Everytime I try to run lilo it gives me that same error.

I just went into my /etc/fstab and /etc/lilo.conf and switched all the /dev/hda to /dev/sda and I am now in the system without the FILESYSTEM CHECK FAIL error. I still cannot boot though. But. I can now copy my config files here.

any help would be very much appreciated.
