Author Topic: Sony Digital Cinema Server XCT-S10 Operation System fails . Miguel Cruz Film Handler Posts: 16 From: Mexico City Registered: Nov 2012 posted 08-07-2014 09:44 PM                     Hi everyone , what kind of Linux operation system has the Sony Digital Cinema Server XCT-S10 ? Because the boot system fails and apparently there is to reload the OS and I think it's out of warranty. It fails because it turned off during boot . .  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 08-08-2014 04:57 AM                     Do you happen to have an ingest drive connected/inserted to the server? If so, unplug it, also disconnect network and UPS and touchscreen cable. Does the screen say anything? The S10 runs scientific Linux, but knowing that won't help you much. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Miguel Cruz Film Handler Posts: 16 From: Mexico City Registered: Nov 2012 posted 08-08-2014 12:12 PM                     Hi Carsten The hard drive was plugged , the operator turned it off during boot . I don't why , and the touch panel says this : An error ocurred during the file system check Dropping you to a shell ; the system will reboot When you leave the shell Warning -- SELinux is active Disabling Security enforcement for system recovery Run ' setenforce 1 ' to reenable Give root password for Maintenance ( or type Control-D to continúe ) :  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 08-08-2014 01:59 PM                     I never had that, and shutting off during reboot usually shouldn't cause any harm to the SSD filesystem. To me it seems as if the server is in a recovery state and would only need to be set to a normal reboot. Something similliar to a Windows safe boot mode. Do you have a USB Keyboard to connect to the Sony? I'd simply try 'Control-D'... If that doesn't work, call Sony, even if the system is out of warranty. This type of incident is NOT covered in any installation/service/maintenance manuals I know of. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Miguel Cruz Film Handler Posts: 16 From: Mexico City Registered: Nov 2012 posted 08-08-2014 02:32 PM                     Thank's Carsten We're going to boot the server without network, UPS and panel cables , if we don't have success we going to call Sony . I'll let you know the end of this issue .  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 08-08-2014 03:58 PM                     If you google for some of the quoted display output, you will see that this is a common issue with various Linux distributions, so it is nothing Sony specific. Only that you will be out of luck without Sony support if you actually need the root password to fix the issue. Did you try switching off the server from this state and try a normal start again? It may indeed be that the system SSD has an inconsistency and needs to be fixed before a normal boot can happen. Some Google findings suggest to do a manual fsck, but I guess you're stuck without the root password to proceed. I'd try the Control-D from a USB Keyboard, if that fails, call Sony. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged
