Description H.J. Lu 2004-10-18 18:01:11 UTC

I got

umount: invalid argument
umount: umount /initrd failed

during the boot on x86_64 with kernel 2.6.8-1.624. Machine seems to
work fine otherwise.

Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2004-10-18 18:54:21 UTC

This code hasn't changed at all recently. Is something mounted on
/initrd after you boot? Did you boot with an initrd?

Comment 2 H.J. Lu 2004-10-18 19:14:21 UTC

Old initrd:

fil[hjl@gnu-20 tmp]$ file foo
foo: Linux rev 1.0 ext2 filesystem data

New initrd:

[hjl@gnu-64 tmp]$ file foo
foo: ASCII cpio archive (SVR4 with no CRC)

I am not sure if the new /initrd is mounted at all during the boot.
It doesn't look like it is. If it is true, umount /initrd will lead
to those messages.

Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2004-10-18 19:29:06 UTC

No, it should be mounted.

Comment 5 Bill Nottingham 2004-10-18 21:41:41 UTC

Hm, the umount is wrapped in a check that it's actually mounted. So
presumably there is something mounted there.

Comment 6 H.J. Lu 2004-10-18 22:02:34 UTC

It may come from mkinitrd-4.1.18-1. It puts

umount /initrd/dev

in init in initrd.

Comment 7 H.J. Lu 2004-11-17 18:34:57 UTC

The problem is rhgb-0.11.2-8 in RHEL 4 B2:

[root@gnu-5 log]# rpm -q rhgb
rhgb-0.11.2-8
[root@gnu-5 log]# /usr/bin/rhgb
umount2: Invalid argument
umount: /initrd: not mounted

/usr/bin/rhgb is used by /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit.

Comment 9 Daniel Veillard 2004-11-30 15:01:21 UTC

An update rhgb-0.14.1-5 fixing the bug has been pushed to RHEL-4.
It should fix this problem,

  thanks,

Daniel
