Acronis Version 8/11 Rescue Cd fails to fully load
in [Storage]
|
From: Sam on 1 Feb 2008 16:53 I borrowed a friend's version11 Acronis home Rescue CD and like my version 8, it wont load. I tried using the F11 commands like acpi=off noapic. I was able to see the logs before i got the black screen of death. Lots of lost interrupt erros and dma time outs. Failed to discover some devices but all HDD were identified. I am using an Asus ACPI board with a 2.8 GHZ. Rescue CD worked on my Dell notebook. Any suggestions?

If it does not, there is likely something seriously wrong with your hardware. Arno

Have no freaken idea why and I don't like the solution either. I disconnected all my USB hubs and peripherals including keyboard. My mouse is still PS2. I tried again. And presto, it worked. I have no flipping idea why. I repeated this several times with and without USB and sure enough, with USB connections Acronis won't work. BTW, I managed to borrow a version 11 Rescue CD and the same results were experienced. Also, I had tonnes of hda interrupts errors and dma time outs while in "diagnostic mode" when Acronis failed to load. Do you think I am suppose to do something to my motherboard to fix this problem? Perhaps there's a command that I'm not familiar with? I would hate to think in my next system where I would have USB everything I wouldnt be able to use Acronis at all.

A later build of 11 may well fix the problem. > I disconnected all my USB hubs and peripherals including keyboard. > My mouse is still PS2. I tried again. And presto, it worked.

The rescue CD runs on Linux, and for some reason it isnt handling the USB devices properly. > BTW, I managed to borrow a version 11 Rescue CD > and the same results were experienced. Like Arno said, you should try some of the linux live CDs like Knoppix and Ubuntu. Likely there is something about the USB on that system they wont like either. > Also, I had tonnes of hda interrupts errors and dma time > outs while in "diagnostic mode" when Acronis failed to load. > Do you think I am suppose to do something to my motherboard to fix this problem? Its possible, depending on whether the Linux live CDs load successfully or not. > Perhaps there's a command that I'm not familiar with? Yes, since its running on Linux, thats certainly possible. > I would hate to think in my next system where I would have > USB everything I wouldnt be able to use Acronis at all. That isnt the case, it runs fine on my systems that have everything on USB and you wont find everyone in the support forums howling about not being able to use it on systems with just USB. http://www.wilderssecurity.com/forumdisplay.php?f=65 |
