User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050623 Fedora/1.0.4-5 Firefox/1.0.4

Description of problem:
x86 smp box locks up on .1411, 1413, 1421, 1422 and 1425 (both smp and
non-smp kernels).  Last good kernel to boot is 1400.

 with the following error:


Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel.
Red Hat nash version 4.2.17 starting
No volume groups found
Unable to find volume group "VolGroup00"
ERROR: /bin/lvm exited abnormally with value 5 ! (pid 353)

switchroot: mount failed: 22
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-1411 through 1425

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot the kernels


  

Actual Results:  kernel panic

Expected Results:  Boot the system,

Additional info:

kernel 1400 and previous work fine,

I made a new initrd --with=aic7xxx --with=sd_mod and it now works fine.

mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.12-1.1425_FC5smp.aic7xxx-2.img initrd-2.6.12-1.1425_FC5smp

Comment 2 Dan Carpenter 2005-07-11 05:31:49 UTC
Are you running the most recent mkinitrd?  `rpm -q mkinitrd` There have been a
bunch of mkinitrd bugs reported recently in the last week that have been fixed
by upgrading to the newest one.

I think the plan is to make the new kernel rpms depend on a new mkinitrd but
that hasn't happenned yet.



Comment 3 Justin Conover 2005-07-11 13:42:29 UTC
initrd-2.6.12-1.1426_FC5]# ls lib/
dm-mirror.ko  dm-mod.ko  dm-snapshot.ko  dm-zero.ko  ext3.ko  jbd.ko  raid0.ko

I have the latest mkinitrd in rawhide.  I update my box daily.

# rpm -qa | grep mkinitrd
mkinitrd-4.2.17-1


Comment 4 Pekka Pietikäinen 2005-07-11 14:00:39 UTC
Also have you tried mkinitrd -v to see if it's even trying to include it? Does
regenerating a 1400 initrd break too (use a different name for the file tho :-) )?
/etc/modprobe.conf look ok ? (as in alias scsi_hostadapter aic7xxx or whatnot)

Comment 5 Justin Conover 2005-07-13 22:23:31 UTC
Please close, this was created from a third party product, removeing aic7xxx
from modprobe.conf
