Problem with new Disk installation

Hi
I have searched.
I am attempting a brand new disk install. I am at the step in the FAQ guide where the Disk Builder image is run. I get an error that says "error couldn't find pump".
The disk is in IDE0. I have recrimped the IDE0 and also tried the IDE1 location.
I tried installing V2.00 Developer, that went OK then followed with the Disk Builder, but the Disk Imager won't run still so I can't begin putting music onto the new disk.

Is the disk more than 60 gig or so? If so, you'll need to manually format and partition it instead of using the disk builder image that is referenced in the drive upgrade guide. Roger's got some instructions somewhere.
EDIT: They're linked from the guide. Read the section entitled "Special note for large drives:".

Okay. Brand new drive. 60GB. Try this...
- Unplug the player.
- Install disk builder, leaving the empeg OFF until the uploader says that it is trying to find the empeg. Once that happens, plug the empeg in.
- Upload the disk builder software
- As soon as the upgrade completes, and the empeg is rebooting, pull the plug on the empeg
- Set up to capture a hyperterminal session
- Plug the empeg in, capturing the session
- Hit "enter" if you are asked to on console
- When you see the disk stress test running, stop the capture and post it here. Leave the stress test running.
The intent of this is to a) load the builder software while b) capturing the output of the build to make sure it worked.
One the stress test has been running for a while, and if the output from the hyperterm session and build looks good, you will then load the developer software version of the player using the first three steps above.

Riiight. The reboot (I.E: display relighting with the boot logos) was not happening before. Not realising that, I whipped the power just as the Kernel began flashing and recorded the If there is anyone present who wants to upgrade the flash, let them speak now,
or forever hold their peace... message. I went through the upload again expecting to whip the power/click cancel just as the disk pump search began. This time the player lit up and found the disks all on its own, it is now pumping happily. I HTH the next person. Speaking too soon; thanks all is fine now

Help!

If you're having problems at all, don't use V3. V3 is alpha software and has bugs. Use V2 final.

Overwrote v3 with V2.01 final but Emplode doesn't read the Media database. The player then reboots.
@pgrzelak Because the player does not reboot after the Disk Builder kernel is loaded I cannot get a log.
It remains in the download state after the DC is removed and reinserted also.

It's possible that installing version 3 messed up the databases, since it uses a different database format. Also, make sure that your emplode is version 2.0 exactly, not any other version. If that doesn't work, then see if rebuilding the databases manually fixes the problem.

That's normal. After the disk builder has finished the "building" parts, it just loops doing tests until you shut it up. Install the normal car2-upgrade image now.

@tfabris this is my log with V2.01 installed. I guess something is wrong with the file system Quote:
empeg:/empeg/bin# rwm
mount: /drive0 not mounted already, or bad option
empeg:/empeg/bin# rm/drive0/var/database
bash: rm/drive0/var/database: No such file or directory
empeg:/empeg/bin# rm/drive0/var/database3
bash: rm/drive0/var/database3: No such file or directory
empeg:/empeg/bin# rm/drive0/var/tags
bash: rm/drive0/var/tags: No such file or directory
empeg:/empeg/bin# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdc bs=1024 count=1024
dd: /dev/hdc: Device not configured
empeg:/empeg/bin# fdisk -l /dev/hdc
empeg:/empeg/bin# fdisk -l /dev/hdc
empeg:/empeg/bin#
@mlord the disk doesn't reboot to pump the disks, and does not get to the testing stage.

Copy-and-paste the commands from the FAQ. You're missing a whole heap of spaces in those commands.
But, also, your second disk doesn't seem to be being recognised (/dev/hdc: Device not configured), so you should attach a complete boot log. Instructions for that are in the FAQ, too.

I am fairly sure there is a problem with the Disk Builder Image section. It does not work like the FAQ says it will. It does not reboot the player before pumping the disk, like a player image does, and there is no way for me to get a Disk Builder log becasue of that.

That particular boot log is from a normal developer image, NOT from a builder image.
What are you trying to do, and what are you trying to show here?
Thanks

The disk builder didn't successfully format your music partition. This is a fairly common occurrence with larger disks. You should first retry the disk builder, which sometimes succeeds.
If that doesn't work, you'll have to format the partition yourself. Install a developer release, get to a shell prompt, and then follow the instructions on this page.

@mlord I have a single 60GB brand new disk I want to partition, format, and add a player image to. I cannot complete the Disk Builder image as it does not reboot the player at the Pump Hard Disk stage of the flashing. Unfortunatly a log is not possible as the player remains in the download state. It flashed once I thinght and so added a player image. It was V3, and Emplode V2.10 would not recognise the player database. I put on V2.01 Final and Emplode 2.0 and again it would not read the player database. @roger these are my logs from attempting a partiton followed by a format followed by a partition. They do not seem to be responding as the FAQ suggests. Quote:

That's because you're supposed to do it by having the player unplugged initially, and then by reapplying the power.
Also, my instructions assume that you're formatting a second disk, so if you want to format a single disk manually, you'll need to replace every instance of /dev/hdc with /dev/hda in those instructions.

I do start with the palyer unplugged and insert the power when instructed I am certain.Quote:

Well, since the builder is already giving you troubles, could you please try this custom builder I have prepared for big disks, and see what it does (or doesn't do). Thanks.

Wow.
I'm glad Mark's custom builder image worked for you, but I'm stymied as to why the factory builder image didn't behave as expected, unless you somehow got a corrupted file.

I encountered the same problem, and this builder fixed the issue. The drive i'm using is a Fujitsu MHV2040AH (40GB 5400RPM). Thank you all for your help, the FAQ and this board have made everything go smoothly for me.

Same here, though with an IBM disk. Did the Disk Builder image get damaged during the restore of the site, perhaps?

No, the copy on the site is just fine. It just doesn't always work reliably with drives >= 40GB or so.

I'm having the same problem with the stock builder. Mark's custom builder works fine, but I only have 20GB and 30GB drives. Will using Mark's builder be a problem with these smaller drives? Has anyone actually gotten the stock builder to work lately?

Mark's builder should work fine, but I'm more worried about why you're the third person to report a problem with the stock builder.
Does the empeg support web site have a corrupted file by any chance?

I was able to manually build a 120 GB drive and then I used the Big Disk Builder program for 5 other drives ( I have 3 Mk2s with 2 each 120 GB drives in them).
I have had success with both Hitachi and Toshiba drives. I have not mixed vendor drives in a Rio.
The builder works very well, good work.
Thanks

Excellent. I guess it was worth the effort. Some day I might even need it myself, I suppose!

CAUTION for 160GB (and larger) drives

Just a reminder, really. It now seems commonplace for many of us to be installing 80GB and 120GB drives into the Empeg/Rio Car players. Which means it will soon be more common to hear of 160GB (or larger) drives being used. There is a dangerous pitfall with these drives: your data WILL be corrupted if you ever install a stock player kernel into a system with a 160GB (or larger) drive installed.Thus, the usual sequence for many people here: - install the new big drive
- format it all using the big builder image: okay
- install the v2.01 player image from Windoze: instant corruption.
Only the Hijack kernels should ever be used with drives that large. Cheers

Totally untested, of course, just like the original builder_bigdisk.upgrade was.

Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but is it possible to make one of those handy packages for 2 beta 13? Many of us use it as it's the most stable v2 release to support tuner seeking. Thanks!

Once again this demonstrates the value of this forum.
The RioCar is a really cool product, other manufacturers are now seeing the vision. WAY AHEAD OF ITS TIME. Bigger drives will lengthen its life and since it is not a static product (firmware upgradable, not throw-away), it has a good future ahead of it for those who can get them. Thanks to those who provide us that upgrade path and provide a great resource for the newbies too.
I too, would have made the same mistake with 160 GB drives, now, I won't. But I would have spent alot of frustrating hours trying to figure it out and could have damaged one of my Rios.
Thanks,
Ross

ARGHH!! Okay, at least the v3a11 image (above) actually did NOT have a Hijack kernel inside of it (I just tried to use it here). I'm fixing that right now, and have put three fresh replacement images (the .upgrade files linked to above) onto my server now.
I *think* these are okay, but still have to wait for the test to complete to verify that Hijack is indeed integrated into them.
More in a few minutes..

Hi,
Does the new V464 Flash Firmware include the function to automatically corrupt (fill the boot partition with junk), so that a disk with a previous format on it will be forced to fully partition and format the disk?
I noticed that a drive with a previous partition and format indicates that " the drive appears to have been built". When the drive is "scribbled" on like in the FAQ, it seems better behaved. It also should free up the complete partition for a new database.
Did I miss something?
Thanks,
Ross

No. And if it did have that feature, I know of many people on this BBS who would eventually cry out "hey, it killed my good drive and I lost all of my tunes -- no backup, either!".
So, no.

Actually, I think it was a good question. And if I were doing these builder thingies for myself, that's how I'd want it to work.
But I've never actually *used* these builder thingies -- I just fixed them for everyone else to use.

Hey Guys! Long time no chat. I've recently be amid a drive upgrade and found FAQ fix needed... It looks like this FAQ page needs a slight update. The link "Mark Lord's Special Disk Builder for large disks" points to an old location: Quote:
Special note for large drives: You might run into a problem if your disk drive is larger than about 40-60 gigabytes. The official empeg builder image hasn't been updated to support large disks. It sometimes runs out of memory when building the music partition. This will manifest itself as disk drive errors when the player boots or when you try to put music onto the player. If this happens, there are a few things you can try: You can use Mark Lord's Special Disk Builder for large disks. You can try to apply the builder image a second time (starting the procedure from the top). Sometimes this is enough. You can also partition and format the hard disk manually. If your disk is larger than 128 gigabytes, make sure to install the latest Hijack Kernel before partitioning and formatting manually. You will also need to re-install the Hijack Kernel after putting the developer upgrade onto the player.
Given the below:

Hi,
I may have seen a related problem.
I have seen a problem (probably unrelated to V464) where I loaded 2 of my 3 Empegs and on one of them when resyncing it spends ALOT of time on Checking The Disk Integrity. I load approximately 200 GB of .WAV files on each Empeg. One has Hitachi drives another has Toshiba drives.
It probably spends an hour checking the media (got longer as I filled it up), completes the resync, and operates fine. I have re-partitioned & reformatted them and they seem to do the same thing.
The other Empeg (it has two Toshiba 120 GB drives in it), doesn't seem to have the problem.
Has anyone seen this problem, do I need to perform some kind of FSCK or something?
Maybe Hitachi drives just choke on my listening tastes (Classic Rock, Easy Listening), I don't know....
Thanks,
Ross
