Hello,
I've got CentOS 6.8 x64, updated today to the latest by 'yum update'
this installed a new kernel: 2.6.32-642.4.2.el6.x86_64
in /var/log/boot.log I found these 3 lines ...
No kdump initial ramdisk found. [WARNING]
Rebuilding /boot/initrd-2.6.32-642.4.2.el6.x86_64kdump.img
cp: cannot stat `/lib/firmware/i915/bxt_dmc_ver1.bin': No such file
or directory
the first two are logic to me, but the 3rd line, did there something
fail at the update?
Thanks,
Walter
'stat' is a command. It's like 'ls', but gives more info. Try it.
The message is saying simply that the file can't be found. It looks
like the install script was trying to 'cp' that file.
the directory from above shows with 'ls -al /lib/firmware/i915/' this:
total 156
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 Aug 25 10:08 .
drwxr-xr-x. 46 root root 12288 Aug 23 17:28 ..
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 8824 Aug 23 21:14 skl_dmc_ver1.bin
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 128320 Aug 23 21:14 skl_guc_ver4.bin
means, that the file from above message isn't there ...
when I do 'cat /etc/rc.d/init.d/* | grep "bxt"' there is nothing
shown; from where did this cp come from above's error message?
Thanks
Walter
Walter, it would seem then that one of the boot scripts is calling
another script [...] which is then calling another script which is
yielding the boot message. I gave you the [...] because there could be
several layers of such wrappers. So it might well take a bit of
drilling down and poking around to find the source of that boot message
from that end.
You might also try 'rpm -qf /lib/firmware/i915' to see if that narrows
down the sought executable to a specific rpm. Then do 'rpm -ql
[package_name]' to get a listing of the files in that package.
In some cases you can use 'trace', but I'm almost always found this to
be a source of too much information.
If at this point you're saying, "there's gotta be an easier way", well,
you're right. Maybe in the sequel to Linux there will be.
Have fun.
