Problem with 3.0

[Blues_rider]

Glen,

Was trying out your last release and liked it a lot. Worked flawlessly and was considering using it as my main system. Then I noticed you released 3.0 so I thought I would give it a try. The boot up and installation when without a hitch but on reboot after install the boot fails.
fsck died with exit status 4
automatic file system check fsck of root file system failed a manual fsck must be performed

I logged in as root and tried to run fsck
got this error
fsck.ext3: unable to resolve 'UUID='
Not sure if I did it correctly.

Tried wiping out and reinstalling a few times with the same results.
Got the system running after install by booting up with the DVD after install and running the installer to the point of partitioning the hard drive but I had the partitioner run a check on the drive instead of partitioning and formatting it. It ends with no errors, quit the installer and reboot and the system boots up on the hard drive and all works fine. This is good for 2 or 3 boots then the same thing happens, Run the installer again and it works for 2 or 3 boots.

This has happened on 2 different hard drives and 2 different systems.

Any ideas?

That doesn't sound good...I have AV3 installed on 2 systems and in a VM here and haven't encountered this error yet. What happens if you manually format the drive to install to with Gparted and then do an install, I know the installer formats anyway but I always format with GParted on the partition I want to install to out of superstitious habit. If you still have an issue try booting the optional -rt Kernel and see if it is affected as well, it is possible that it could be Kernel related since the 2.6.32 kernel is so new. Thanks for reporting this issue.

Glen,

I may try a few more installs before I stop. I will also try the rt kernel, haven't yet. Shut it down about 2 hours ago just booted up and had to hard reboot 3 times locked up solid with different errors then before.
Look for an email from me.

wentzr,

Well I guess you may have just answered a question I had.

I was able to get the system to work but in a different way. After booting and getting the hard drive error, rebooted with the DVD, ran the Remastersys installer, when Gparted started I had it only check the hard drive. Exited the installer and rebooted. System would not boot. Reinstalled the system and got the same hard drive error. Rebooted with the DVD and again tried Gparted and  on reboot the system started. But seeing as how on previous installs the system would not reboot a second time, I then tried something that Glen suggested which was to download and install the kernels from his previous release which I did. After install of the older kernels and reboot all of the kernels including the latest that comes with AV 3 are working so far. Had I looked here to see your post, I could have saved myself some time by trying your solution but in a different way.

I have 3 OS's installed on different hard drives, don't like sharing drives, and because of the possibility of an OS installation hosing one of the other drives or me having a senior moment   and making a wrong selection or a stupid mouse click because I didn't read something during install, I always disconnect the other drives before installing and set them up in the new OS if need be after install.

So far so good on the current install, maybe I will get ambitious and do a reinstall and try fixing it similar to your solution but I'll just reconnect the drives and boot my other Linux installation to try and edit the fstab. Or if possible edit and save the fstab file to a flash drive and the hard drive before a reboot after installing.

Gotta say also, I like AVlinux a lot more than any of the other Linux multimedia versions that I have tried although not a big fan of LXDE. Guess a little hiccup every once in a while helps keep the braincells working.

Hi. my english is 'nt good but i try to explain, my problem is exactly like your's and do not enter in any way at all, even doing like you do.
my question is, since I have a win7, xubuntu and AVLinux, in the same disk when the installer prompt me to the host name I put "local host", and install the grub in the same partition on the root system, and the swap partition is the same of my xubuntu system,Is that an error that I do on this form of installation?. thanks in advance. saludos desde mexico.

Pegassus,

Yes you only need one swap partition for all Linux installations. As far as the other problem is concerned you will probably want to try the updated version of AV Linux (3.0R1) that seems to have fixed this issue.

Not to negate the fact that this is fixed on 3.0r1, but for reference, for anybody still having these issues on 3.0, using synaptic to upgrade the linux-utils package will fix the problem of fsck being called unnecessarily, and manually entering your UUID's into /etc/fstab will fix the problem of the fsck's failing.
