Post subject: | Boot problem with Toshiba Satellite 850 |
Hello, I have the following hardware: Toshiba Satellite 850-BT3G22 Intel® Core™ i7-3630QM Processor 6GB DDR3 1600MHz (4GB + 2GB) 500GB HDD (7200rpm, Serial-ATA) 2GB GDDR3 NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 630M with NVIDIA® Optimus™ Technology Blu-ray Disc™ ROM with SuperMulti DVD±R/RW Double Layer drive Running Windows 8 (64 bit) I am able to create bootable Navigatrix USB flash drives on both 8 GB and 64 GB sticks. (64 GB was tough because navigatrix-setup won't format a 64GB drive with FAT32, used a third party FAT32 formatter and unchecked "format drive" in navigatrix-setup screen). Both sticks exhibit same symptoms: 1. Get manta ray in lower right corner 2. Blank screen for a few seconds 3. Some sort of log dump with what I suppose are time-stamps [8.584112] ........ 4. Here is where it diverges: a. if the BIOS is setup for SATA Controller mode= AHCI the boot up hangs with the following on screen: "8.584xxx] attach SCSI generic SG1 TYPE 5" b. if the BIOS is setup for SATA Controller mode= Compatibility the boot up appears to continue past 8.xxxxx to "9.413xxx end trace" followed by: "/sbin/modprobe unexpected exit STATUS 0x0009" 5. keyboard puts characters on screen but nothing gets it unstuck (ctrl C, crtl X, exit, .....) Any help please??? |

I'm taking a wild stab that your swanky nVidia is not finding a suitable module (driver). The BIOS settings for your hard drive...I don't know. I've heard of some people having trouble on boot with AHCI being a module and not built into the kernel. Unfortunately I don't what the case is with the Navigatrix kernel. I also don't know if failure would be fatal...which is why I'm stabbing at the video. Try loading up the legacy video. Navigatrix can boot to a VESA video module used way back in the stone age. The idea is "when all else fails; this should work". You high tech video should have backwards compatibility to this tried and true standard....should. When the screen turns blue repeatedly hit the <esc> key until the screen turns black and stays black. In the upper left corner is the word boot: Enter: old and chase it with <Enter> This calls up the VESA video and (fingers crossed) get us further down the road...if it's a video issue. |

Boot stops with unexpected exit status 0x0009, 2. last command was "/isbin/modprobe" 3. keyboard/display works (echoes keyboard characters on the display) 4. nothing entered gets any response..... |

Thank you David, I will try with Navigatrix 0.5 after I get my #$%*! Toshiba repaired. Looks like the high tech Nvidia has crapped out, what a waste of money... Al on Sailfisher |
