Reporter: please change the hardware field on this bug to "All". I'm seeing the same bug on a dual x86-64. Both the SMP and the UP kernel boot is normal up until the "Remounting root filesystem in read/write mode:" message. In my case, I do not get the [ OK ] part; the last message on the console is "Remounting root filesystem in read/write mode: ", exactly. No other error messages are reported. In my case, the console responds to a CTRL-C, and resumes booting, but with the root filesystem still mounted read-only. I'm also using RAID -- possible common denominator. Created attachment 120283 [details]
Boot log from the 1378 kernel. The boot log of the 1380 kernel is identical.
Same here after updating from previous kernel-2.6.12-1.1378_FC3 to latest kernel-2.6.12-1.1380_FC3. Machine is a Pentium 3 at 600 MHz, ASUS P3B-F motherboard. Two local IDE disks running Linux RAID-1 (software), and a additional Adaptec SCSI host-adapter with only a DVD-ROM connected at the moment. Last lines of output during boot process are like this: Checking root filesystem /dev/md6: clean, ... [OK] Remounting root filesystem in read-write mode: And here it hangs. No "[OK]" message. Like Sam, I can hit CTRL-C, and the machine will continue to boot, but without the other filesystems and a read-only root filesystems it gives a couple of error messages from some daemons not able to access stuff in /var/run and /var/lock and then the machine finally hangs again. Here's my list of filesystems (made with kernel 2.6.12-1.1378): # mount | egrep ^/dev /dev/md6 on / type ext3 (rw) /dev/md5 on /boot type ext3 (rw) /dev/md11 on /home type ext3 (rw) /dev/md13 on /opt type ext3 (rw) /dev/md7 on /tmp type ext3 (rw) /dev/md10 on /usr type ext3 (rw) /dev/md12 on /usr/local type ext3 (rw) /dev/md9 on /var type ext3 (rw) Quite usual setup. RAID-1 created during installation, using the default GRUB boot loader and the default kernel options. However, my default run-level is 3 and not 5 (/etc/inittab) if this matters. Any help is appreciated. Greetings, Andreas build 1381 from http://people.redhat.com/davej/kernels/Fedora/FC3 boots for me. I have seen this problem as well on a system using the i586 UP kernel. I have inserted an open -- sulogin command in rc.sysinit to be able to debug this kind of problem. I found that load average was 1.50 and decreasing, ps -o wchan,args revealed that the mount command was blocked in sync_page_io. An attempt to cat /proc/mdstat would block as well, for the cat command wchan showed -. Over four hosts, two which are using LVM over RAID-1 exhibit the above mentioned problem; two which are using LVM without RAID-1 work fine. Rebooting with the 1378 kernel was enough. I have the same problem after updating to kernel-smp-2.6.12-1.1380. The machine is a P4 3GHz with Intel mobo, software RAID 1 with 2 SATA drives. mount | egrep ^/dev /dev/md2 on / type ext3 (rw) /dev/md0 on /boot type ext3 (rw) The machine would boot if I reverted back to kernel-smp-2.6.12-1.1378. |
