Description Charles Lopes 2004-11-09 16:09:01 UTC

Description of problem:
In a UTF-8 locale, mkinitrd fails to detect the dependency ext3 -> jbd
I tracked the problem down to an awk scriptlet in moduledep(). It
seems that the gawk function "match" behaves differently in UTF-8
locales. Setting LC_ALL=C in mkinitrd should fix this problem.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.1.18-2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 mkinitrd -v -f /boot/initrd-2.6.9-1.667.img
2.6.9-1.667
2. LC_ALL=C mkinitrd -v -f /boot/initrd-2.6.9-1.667.img 2.6.9-1.667
3. Compare results

Actual Results:
...
Looking for deps of module raid1
Looking for deps of module ext3
Looking for deps of module dm-mod
Looking for deps of module dm-mirror     dm-mod
...


Expected Results:
...
Looking for deps of module raid1
Looking for deps of module ext3  jbd
Looking for deps of module jbd
Looking for deps of module dm-mod
Looking for deps of module dm-mirror     dm-mod
...

What version of gawk do you have installed?
Comment 2 Charles Lopes 2004-11-09 16:28:11 UTC 
Silly me! Gawk version 3.1.4, a left over from rawhide. Downgraded
back to 3.1.3. No problem there. I'm closing this. Sorry!
