What does your /etc/fstab look like? The fstab was broken in that it had duplicate entries for most of the disks. I was merging and old and new fstab and must have been interrupted, leaving both complete fstabs in one file. Sorry... |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031030 Galeon/1.3.10 Description of problem: Ever since I upgraded to fedora-core-1 from the beta, I've been unable to run any new 2.6 test kernels. They were always crashing during boot complaining about a missing device. I also noticed an awk error message during the rpm install. I tracked it down to this: [root@katratzi tjb]# /sbin/new-kernel-pkg --mkinitrd --depmod --install 2.6.0-0.test9.1.87smp awk: cmd. line:1: $2 == "/ awk: cmd. line:1: ^ unterminated string [root@katratzi tjb]# The line in questions seems to be this: rootdevice=$(awk '{ if ($1 !~ /^[ \t]*#/ && $2 == "/") { print $1; }}' /etc/fstab) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mkinitrd-3.5.14-1, kernel-smp-2.6.0-0.test9.1.87 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install fedora core 2. try to install a 2.6.0 test kernel 3. Actual Results: the post install script complains with the awk error message above and the kernel crashes at boot because of a missing device Expected Results: the new kernel boots and speeds up the system ten fold.
