Very Slow Booting

Post by Atip »

A few days ago our great-granddaughter was watching Papa Pig with SMPlayer.
When she finished a serie she left and I forgot about it. Getting back to my PC
after may be one hour SMPlayer showed a black page and could not be killed.

Since this event my booting does not work properly. It takes up 6 minutes to complete.
This happens to all my partitions as well as booting from live USB sticks.

The booting lines report:
device reported invalid CHS sector 0
failed command: READ DMA
failed command READ SECTOR
status: (DRDY)
Here some section from dmesg:

When booting starts it shows the 2 pinguins at the top of the console and already there they sit an unusual
long time before booting continues. Once booting is complete and I have loged-in my PC operates
normally.

I have checked all pratitions with fsck and they are all clean.

What will I have to do to get my booting back to normal?

Re: Very Slow Booting

Post by DidierSpaier »

I have had something similar with a dying hard disk but that could be another issue.

Please provide the output of these commands to know what's what as you have several devices:

Code: Select all

lsblk -o model,name,size,fstype,mountpoint
df -h

What is sdc then? A removable device drive like a USB hard disk? If that is the case, unplug it before booting.

Yes this is my live salix USB. It has no meaning on slow booting if present or not. I just forgot
to unplug it when booting to my working partition. Booting with the live USB is even slower than booting from HD. Takes 6 minutes with live USB against 4 min from HD.

Anyway having it in the way doesn't help understand the logs so please boot with this live USB unplugged and post them again.

And please post the full output of dmesg (from the beginning) just after booting has completed.

Most probably the hard drive/usb disk is dying.

Yes, it had something to do with my IDE HD /dev/sda.
Unplugged and replugged connection and booting is again normal. :D.
Thanks for the help.
