tons of bootup errors in debian

[Red Squirrel]

I had a system crash, well not exactly a crash, but a apache restart failed, (the stop part) so when it came to start it again, it said the pid already exist blah blah and stopping it, it said the same, so only way out was to reboot, since apache was not even running but it thought it was.

When it came back up I got the error:
spurious 8259a inerupt IRQ7

Had to CTRL+ALT+DEL my way out, and last time this happened to me my whole file system got corrupted because that's a bad shutdown. Got lucky...

But this time I watched carefully and noticed tons of errors, but it goes by too fast for me to write it all down. Some errors say it can't find kernel (but don't I need that to boot??? since everything is working now, it's just rebooting that causes errors) some say "usb already loaded" like 20 times, etc... some seem less serious then others. But the one that scares me is the irq one... usually something mentioning irq's means a hardware conflict.

Is there a way to somehow capture the bootup stuff so I can post it and find out what all these errors are?

 

[Red Squirrel]

Bump. Server works fine now but I'd still like to be able to take a look at this issue to avoid future issues.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Anyone? I really want to know how I can somehow capture all this so I can post it, some of these errors look pretty serious to me, don't want my server running under these circumstances.

 

[n0cmonkey]

Immediately after boot: dmesg > dmesg.txt

I don't know if Debian keeps that stuff around. Hopefully most of the errors will be in there.

Delete the pid file. :roll:

spurious 8259a inerupt IRQ7

Disable the parallel port.

What kernel? What filesystem?

 

[Nothinman]

t said the pid already exist blah blah and stopping it, it said the same, so only way out was to reboot, since apache was not even running but it thought it was.

Or you could just have deleted the pid file.

When it came back up I got the error:
spurious 8259a inerupt IRQ7

Generally that's harmless.

some say "usb already loaded" like 20 times, etc... some seem less serious then others.

That's not an error either, the hotplug scripts will print that when they see a device that needs a module that's already loaded.

 

[Red Squirrel]

So spurious 8259a inerupt IRQ7 is not really bad? Sounds like something bad, like hardware failing or something.

Anyway here's the log:

Hmm looking through that it does not seem to show everything, I think that's a lower level or something. But from that alone the main thing I notice is lot of irq conflicts... and those are a PIA to deal with.

 

[n0cmonkey]

I think IRQ conflicts are pretty rare in modern PCI hardware...

 

[Nothinman]

Technically it's impossible, the PCI spec requires the sharing of interrupts. But some devices don't like to share IRQs, mostly older Creative stuff but I have no idea if the newer stuff is better.

I only see 2 conflicts for devices 00:11.2 and 00:11.3, do you have PnP OS enabled in your BIOS? If not, the BIOS may be setting up resources before Linux and causing issues. And it's only USB.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Pnp would be like ISA stuff right? Nope don't have that, it's a fairly modern computer. Is this something I should worry about or can I just ingore it? Since I won't be using anything USB, at least I don't plan to.

 

[n0cmonkey]

If the computer isn't acting up, I'd ignore it.

 

[drag]

spurious 8259a inerupt IRQ7

This can generally be ignored.

 

[Nothinman]

A spurious interrupt is not a problem, all that happens is the kernel logs that the interrupt happened when it shouldn't have and it acknowledges the interrupt so the interrupt controller doesn't leave it outstanding.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Well good to know, I guess I'm just being paranoid. I've had a linux crash already before and it ain't pretty.
