PATCH fix the root argument to mkrootdev in case of lvm by LABEL boot
Or maybe completely get rid of the root argument to mkrootdev, since it normally isn't used anyways and thus only serves to confuse people (it sure confused me for a long time). Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now, we will automatically close it. If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again. It looks like this bug is still present (even though the pathc no longer applies). There now is some code in mkinitrd to check for /dev/mapper paths, but this now only gets used for dm-crypt, I believe simple lvm dm setups will still get /dev/dm-X as mkrootdev arg in there initrd script. I can confirm this bug still exists in RHEL 4 ES U5. I ran into it last week. It seems to me that bugs #209473, #214184, #246626, #294051, #327181 and #426671 are related to this (not sure if they're strictly dupes). Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping This looks a lot like something I'm bitten by in RHEL4.6. Attempting to boot a Xen domU image of rhel4 results in this kernel panic. If I edit the init script in the initrd image to mount the /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 instead of /dev/root, it will boot. I've just checked this and this no longer is a problem in the current mkinitrd, closing. |
