can you try running memtest for a while ? This smells like bad memory. Especially as this is the only instance of this we've seen reported, and I've personally run all recent x86-64 kernels on several different models. Ok, I'll do the testing when I get back home from work. I doubt that it's a memory problem because it happened just right after 04/27 rawhide update and the before the update all the kernels booted up correctly. I suspect it's caused by reiserfs as /boot fielsystem.. Hello again :-) Memtest passsed sucessfully, so that's not the RAM issue. I played with kernels installed and discovered that suddenly 1275 boots ok (it was failing when I checked it after the 04/27 update). Some of my kernels give slightly different error messges but all of them seem to be realtd to the compressed kernel image. Builds 1251 and 1268 throw the following error: Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format. Build 1261: RAMDISK: ran out of compressed data Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount fs on unknown-block(22,2) The rest of my kernels throw just the "Invalid compressed format" message. I'll perform clean reinstall of my system after FC4T3 comes out because I have too much mess on my system which, I think, is the cause of the problems. Update I have just made a clean install of FC4T3 and kernel image decompressess correctly, however right after that it karshes with the following message: Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(22,2) Now, I'm going to make another attempt, but I will change filesystem to ext3 on /boot Ok, I'm back with good news :-) Changing the filesystem to ext3 solved the problem. Another little thing that has been fixed by the filesystem change was that I was able to see the splash image in grub - I had a black background before on reiserfs after one of rawhide updates on FC4T2. i can duplicate this also. i opened a more specific bug for this - #159123 since this is reiserfs specific this should be closed WONTFIX same as 159123. This sounds like the initrd is corrupt. Can somebody do this with one that didn't work: mkdir tmp cd tmp zcat /boot/initrd-VERSION | cpio -dvi and see if it actually works? since this is reiserfs specific this should be closed WONTFIX same as 159123. reiserfs bugs should be reported in http://bugme.osdl.org Fedora will inherit any fixes that occur upstream on rebases to newer kernels. sadly few kernel developers appear to read bugme.osdl.org |
