broken initrd ? Peter ?

Comment 2 Peter Carrero 2006-07-16 20:13:06 UTC

Dave, you are correct! The problem was on the initrd image.
kernel 2.6.17-1.2336.fc6 gave me the same problem as the 2396 one, but kernel
2.6.16-1.2289-FC6 worked, so I decided to look for the raid5 personality modules.
Guess what? The name of the modules changed after kernel 2.6.16-1.2289! In that
kernel, each personality has its own module and in the subsequent kernels,
personalities 4, 5 and 6 are bundled up in one module.
using 
mkinitrd --with=raid456 <image file> 2.6.17-1.2396.fc6 
and changing the grub.conf file fixed the problem, but now smartd, acpi and some
other services don't start correctly and fail to stop.

Comment 3 Peter Carrero 2006-07-16 20:22:30 UTC

forgot to mention my hd config:
md0 100mb raid1 comprised of hda1, hdb1 with hdc1 as hotspare
md1 3gb raid0 comprised of hda2, hdb2, hdc2
md2 500gb raid5 comprised of hda3, hdb3, hdc3

Hello,

I'm reviewing this bug as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to
isolate current bugs in the Fedora kernel.

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage

I am CC'ing myself to this bug, however this version of Fedora is no longer
maintained.

Please attempt to reproduce this bug with a current version of Fedora (presently
Fedora 8). If the bug no longer exists, please close the bug or I'll do so in a
few days if there is no further information lodged.

Thanks for using Fedora!
