[00:00] sudo ls -> password request -> list of files in my home dir [00:01] tabakhase_: so sudo does work. [00:01] In the same terminal, run 'sudo umount /boot' [00:04] sudo: unmount: command not found [00:04] READ CAREFULLY [00:04] ahh i see *duck and run* [00:04] *shy* [00:04] sorry, my fault [00:05] Now: error: device still used (error message is german, but it says this) [00:06] now [00:06] and mounted to /mnt - done [00:07] sudo cp -a /boot/* /mnt/ [00:08] done [00:09] Next, do a 'cd /mnt' [00:09] and run [00:09] sudo ln -sf . boot [00:09] Be careful to type all the spaces [00:11] done [00:12] Okay, now we want to umount /mnt and mount it on /boot again [00:13] (reaction always take so long because the system lags and lags..) [00:13] Not for much longer (we hope) [00:14] done [00:14] Remind me, which device is your root partition? [00:14] /dev/hda7 [00:16] That means we have to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and change all references to (hd0,6) into (hd0,0) [00:16] Do you want detailed instructions? [00:16] I think we have to add this (mount hda1 to /boot) also in /etc/fstab or not? [00:16] Yes [00:17] no, i could edit it, already working with linux since 2 years or so... [00:18] Also, append the nodma option you want to the line that starts with "# kopt=" in menu.lst [00:22] had to append it or could i edit the grub list while booting with "e"? [00:23] To prepare fstab, you can just do [00:23] k, done [00:23] echo /dev/hda1 /boot ext3 defaults 0 2 | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab [00:24] no "´s by the echo? [00:25] tabakhase_: optional in this case [00:26] done^^ [00:26] Now to install grub, run [00:26] sudo grub-install /dev/hda [00:27] jepy =) [00:28] Now [00:28] sudo update-grub [00:28] sed: Lesefehler in /boot/grub/device.map:Input/Output error [00:28] Lesefehler in = reading error in [00:28] I'm okay with German [00:29] Was that error from the grub-install command? [00:29] /dev/hda does not have any corresponding BIOS drive. [00:31] Was that error from the grub-install command? [00:32] sed... see ahead) | grep: /boot/grub/device.map: Input/output error | /dav/hda (see ahead) [00:33] Was that error from the grub-install or from the update-grub command? [00:33] grub-install [00:34] [11.09.08 - 01:28:15 ] sudo update-grub *hubs* not seen, moment [00:34] Don't run update-grub yet [00:35] Tell me if you have a /boot/grub/device.map file [00:36] lag lag lag... [00:37] yes, i have [00:37] 15 bytes [00:38] What's in it? [00:38] a lag -.- [00:38] moment please... [00:39] (hd0) /dev/hda [00:41] I don't know why this happens. Please retry [00:41] sudo grub-install /dev/hda [00:42] Slowly i think there is a error on this disk... my windows (on another partition) isn´t running some time ago [00:42] -> [00:42] mom [00:42] Power fail, since then it was demaged and windows cant boot anymore [00:43] but this was weeks before the first lag on ubuntu [00:44] Error now: "The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly." [00:46] Time for a new hard disk drive? [00:46] its about a jear old [00:47] and these fucking 2,5" harddisks are damn expenisve =( [00:47] No profanity please [00:47] 3,5 ive got millions here, from 649 MB to 250 GB, but these 2,5" -.- [00:47] We're still in a public chatroom [00:48] No "tests" i can do to check the harddisk? [00:49] Did you say it was working normally and started lagging after this powerfailure? [00:50] after the fail my windows didn´t worked anymore [00:50] so i switched to my old ubuntu on the other partition [00:50] works fine [00:51] update to 8.x, lags, changed kernel, works [00:52] then for month´s everything was fine [00:52] and some days ago lag´s started again =( [00:53] (while this power fail windows was running) so i was thinkin "typical, damn os! lets get back to my lovly ubuntu" [00:54] You've got hardware trouble. I think this will continue until you replace the disk. Make sure you backup any valuable data before it dies completely [00:56] hm k =( [00:57] And do you know a good resulution for: "IRC, ICQ, MSN, XMMP, Jabber, Mails, Calendar AND best to sync. with my mobile phone? [00:57] :) no, sorry [00:59] hm ok, thanks for all the time and all help so far [01:00] very big thanks, organisate a new hdd now and try again -.- [01:00] Gern geschehen, schade, dass es nicht so richtig geholfen hat. [01:04] soundray und sonst gibt es nix an HDD testern? Ala scandisk? [01:10] !info smartmontools | tabakhase_ [01:14] soundray dies after 10% -> unknown failure [01:15] It's not worth it. Use your time to raise funds for a new disk instead. [01:16] ive got the error i think.. [01:17] "Error 661 occurred at disk-power lifetime: 15738 hours (655 days + 18 hours) [01:17] I think the counter didn`t reset after changing... [01:18] but additional, i dont think that could be the error that the system strikes like this... [01:19] @ soundray [01:20] ich rechne gerade mal [01:20] * soundray muss jetzt mal an der Matratze horchen [01:21] die 655 tage können doch stimmen...
