Peter, mkinitrd bug ? Hope this helps I have the exact same problem with the following hardware : CPU : Intel Petnium D820+ (LGA775) Mainboard : Asus P5LD2 (Intel i945P + Intel ICH7R) Drives : 2 x 200GB SATA drives configures as RAID1 through onboard SATA RAID controller Win XP installs and works fine (although not recognizing the fake raid device as FC5 does). Knoppix runs fine. As for mkinitrd, I did the following (see: http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/archive/index.php/ t-96108.html) : network update of mkinitrd to version 5.0.32 Built a new boot image Replaced the existing one with the new one On reboot I still get the same kernel panic. I reconfigured grub adapting instructions at the end of this page (http://tienstra4.flatnet.tudelft.nl/ ~gerte/gen2dmraid/) => still get the panic I reinstalled using the bordeaux DVD, and it works! Maybe it was a kernel bug? OK, with the stock kernel-smp=2.6.15-1.2054_FC5, everything works. A yum update installs kernel-smp-2.6.16_1.2080_FC5, which once again breaks functionality and causes kernel panic on bootup. The old stock kernel works. A new kernel update has been released (Version: 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5) based upon a new upstream kernel release. Please retest against this new kernel, as a large number of patches go into each upstream release, possibly including changes that may address this problem. This bug has been placed in NEEDINFO state. Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, if this bug is still in this state in two weeks time, it will be closed. Should this bug still be relevant after this period, the reporter can reopen the bug at any time. Any other users on the Cc: list of this bug can request that the bug be reopened by adding a comment to the bug. In the last few updates, some users upgrading from FC4->FC5 have reported that installing a kernel update has left their systems unbootable. If you have been affected by this problem please check you only have one version of device-mapper & lvm2 installed. See bug 207474 for further details. If this bug is a problem preventing you from installing the release this version is filed against, please see bug 169613. If this bug has been fixed, but you are now experiencing a different problem, please file a separate bug for the new problem. Thank you. This bug has been mass-closed along with all other bugs that have been in NEEDINFO state for several months. Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, this is the only method we have of cleaning out stale bug reports where the reporter has disappeared. If you can reproduce this bug after installing all the current updates, please reopen this bug. If you are not the reporter, you can add a comment requesting it be reopened, and someone will get to it asap. Thank you. |
