MIB looks for other deleted linux swap partition

[eekie]

MIB startup takes 1 minute longer because it looks for a swap partition belonging to a linux distro that has been deleted.
I did not find it in fstab. In which file can I delete this command?

Hi eekie,
this should be similar to the problem I had a few time ago.

see:
http://mib.pianetalinux.org/mib/forum/v ... =21&t=1874
even if in italian it should be clear, btw you can find solution in errata:

As your partition has been deleted, you maybe could skip the first steps (give a look to /boot/grub/menu.lst file too) and only try by recreating the initrd.

Code: Select all

su
bootloader-config --action rebuild-initrds

Thanks for the swift reply. I fear my descryption of the problem was not correct. The partition MIB looks for is the system partition of the deleted distro.
The blkid command yields:

[root@localhost johan]# blkid

The missing partition is /dev/sdc5.
I don't have it in fstab nor in menu.lst. So again where can I find it?

Did you try the last command?

Code: Select all

bootloader-config --action rebuild-initrds

in a root console.

Notice, it could take some minutes, so wait until you have the console prompt again.
Than reboot.

Rugyada,
Thanks. This did the trick.
After the suggested command the terminal gives an error message:

[root@localhost johan]# bootloader-config --action rebuild-initrds
No modules available for kernel "2.6.31-21-generic".
mkinitrd failed:
(mkinitrd -f /boot/initrd-2.6.31-21-generic.img --ifneeded 2.6.31-21-generic) at /usr/lib/libDrakX/bootloader.pm line 124.

The one he can't find is of course the ubuntu distro that I removed.
Now MIB starts up in no time!
