[Bug 193125] Re: halt:unable to iterate ID E devices:no such files or directory
I'm not quite sure how attachments work on Launchpad; I couldn't find your attachment for your solution. nonetheless I had the same problem, even with 8.04LTS. I can give you my best educated guess. I get this message just after "Will now halt". Looking for that string all over the fs, I found it in /etc/init.d/halt. Right after that, it's attempting to execute halt (as in /sbin/halt). Doing a simple strings(1) on /sbin/halt (actually, it's a symlink to reboot, e.g., /sbin/reboot), it shows /proc/ide in the middle of it. The trouble is, ever since a certain rev. of the kernel, IDE devices are abstracted into SCSI devices; ergo it's no wonder halt cannot iterate over the entries in /proc/ide/., as it will no longer exist. The documentation I've read seems to indicate -h is not really necessary as the kernel will automatically shut down IDE (and network) devices anyway, so it's not necessary (superfluous, redundant) for a program like halt(8) to do this. If anything, halt(8) would have to look at something like /proc/scsi or /proc/bus. My fix/workaround was to edit the halt script so that it NEVER hands "-h" to halt(8). Bingo, no more message. The more troubling one for me is "trying to free already freed IRQ 5". I think what's going on there is similarly halt(8) and the kernel trying to stop all network interfaces. I think it's a bug whereby the 3c509 driver/module tries to shut itself down twice, and doesn't realize it's already shut itself down. (I'm not 100% sure, but I think the card is assigned IRQ 5. too lazy at the moment to confirm :-) .) -- halt:unable to iterate IDE devices:no such files or directory https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/193125 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

"in the updates pocket"...wouldn't know how to try because I don't know to what "pocket" refers. I use aptitude to update the available packages (u), then apply any available package updates (U then g and another g). Just saying, if open-vm-tools is offered at some time and shows up in the updates list, I can apply its update. I'll keep checking periodically for updates this way. Also just saying I think this build only failed for the latest offered kernel (4.15). I'll just keep booting the previous kernel version until this gets fixed; it always does eventually in my experience. Thanks for working on this. I will concede that setting updates to automatic results in an arguably more secure system, and maybe fix issues like this faster, but I like to know what has been done to my system.

Aw, heck, probably not. All I use VirtualBox for is once in a while tinkering with old Windows installations, like Windows XP and Windows 98. It probably doesn't need this legacy vmxnet module.

[Bug 445952] Re: grub2: needed (undocumented) character escape for kernel parameters
IMHO, this isn't a GRUB2 (grub-pc) bug, it is the documented behavior of the shell used to generate the configuration file (default grub.cfg). So-called here-documents (used extensively in the distributed default scripts) are documented to interpolate shell variables, consume quoting, etc. Perhaps what is not particularly clear is that the /etc/default/grub and /etc/grub.d/* files are sourced, therefore backslashes, quotes, and apostrophes within it must be used judiciously (because levels of quoting will be consumed). In the example of the memmap case, $0, the name of the program, is being substituted. That's why using the apostrophe method of quoting works. Similarly, it has been a long standing voodoo of sorts to know how to escape with backslashes so that the proper number will be stripped off at the final evaluation, and get the character one is trying to escape (such as "). That's also why sometimes it's easier to use the apostrophe for quoting to include spaces, dollar, and double quotes. Consider it's also possible to use a hybrid quoting approach too, such as: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX='nolapic memmap=64$0x2419 console='"$GRUB_TERMINAL"' console=tty2' (of course, that wouldn't quite work in reality, as the console device names for GRUB and Linux differ). -- grub2: needed (undocumented) character escape for kernel parameters https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/445952 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
