[SOLVED] Server freezes at error screen on reboot
« on: February 25, 2015, 09:58:25 PM »
HI all,

I've just noticed that one of my file servers is showing an odd error when it is given the reboot command.
Only way to reboot then is to use power button.

I've attached an image of the error I took with a camera.

Any tips I can get to resolve this would be great.

Thanks Remus

Solved this, started thinking it might be caused by the last app I installed, so had a look at my tce/onboot.lst file and the last app I installed as firmware.tcz

I installed this as I used to get following error during boot up.

Feb 26 03:06:41 (none) user.err kernel: eth0: Failed to load firmware "tigon/tg3_tso5.bin"

Did some looking around the tinycore forum and discovered post about this error with suggestion to installed firmware.tcz which contains tigon/tg3_tso5.bin among others.

So I did
tce-audit builddb
tce-audit delete firmware
sudo reboot

Have done a few shutdowns and reboots and the shutdown crash has stopped. I get the tigon/tg3_tso5 error on boot up now, but its harmless and does not effect normal operation of the server.
Live long and prosper.
