Your kernel command line: root=/dev/mapper/stable-native.Fedora25.root ro LANG=en_AU.UTF-8 rdbreak It is clearly missing important parameters. As a workaround, add "rd.auto" to the kernel command line. What is the output of: # dracut --print-cmdline ??

Ah. Thanks. rd.auto does indeed work. This is strange because rd.auto wasn't needed for dracut-037-11 even though the default has apparently been rc.auto=0 since v24. # dracut --print-cmdline rd.lvm.lv=volatile/swap.fs rd.lvm.lv=stable/native.Fedora25.root rd.md.uuid=0878d4ad:03d5e790:343ab424:1a2d8cb4 rd.md.uuid=421a005c:9f585d66:2f941de8:e6ee6f49 rd.md.uuid=984c0e00:3115e741:083ec5eb:07e01918 resume=/dev/mapper/volatile-swap.fs root=/dev/mapper/stable-native.Fedora20.root rootflags=rw,noatime,seclabel,stripe=512,data=ordered rootfstype=ext4 Is all that really the preferred method?

The preferred method is to add those parameters printed by dracut above to the kernel command line. "rd.lvm.lv" and "rd.md.uuid" being the critical ones here This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '25'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
Created attachment 1241209 [details] rdsoreport.txt (compressed) Description of problem: When I try and boot my Fedora25 installation, it hangs for a while before printing a lot of "Warning: dracut-initqueue timeout - starting timeout scripts" messages and eventually giving up. Root is on a logical volume on top of a (linux/mdadm) raid1 which has another raid0 device and a ssd as members. This configuration works perfectly on Fedora 21. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dracut-044-78.fc25 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Duplicate above configuration. (This is admittedly complex and I am not sure what the minimum configuration is. Perhaps lvm on any software raid.) 2. Boot 3. Actual results: The boot process hangs for a while before printing a lot of "Warning: dracut-initqueue timeout - starting timeout scripts" messages and eventually giving up failing to find the root device Expected results: System will find the root device and actually boot. Additional info: If I add rdbreak to the command line, I get a shell prompt (after all the "dracut-initqueue timeout" messages have ceased). There are no raid devices in /dev and /proc/mdstat is empty. If I type "mdadm -As" all raid devices are assembled properly, so the device drivers, mdadm.conf and mdadm utility are all there. This is somewhat similar to bug ID 1402983, but there are also differences. In particular it does not seem that this failure is not due to lvm somehow grabbing a raid member.
