Description of problem: Software-RAID (md), LVM-rooted, FC5 x86_64 system panics upon boot after Yum upgrades kernel to 2.6.18. It can't find any volume groups. Photo of panic: http://community.moertel.com/~thor/panic.png If I revert back to the previous kernel, 2.6.17-1.2187_FC5, the system boots no problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5 (x86_64 arch) How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Turn it on. 2. Watch it panic. 3. Take photo. ;-) Actual results: Panic shortly after kernel decompresses and starts booting. Expected results: Kernel finds volume groups, mounts root, boots happily. Additional info: Opteron 165 (dual core) on a Tyan Tomcat K8E mobo, nVidia nFORCE 4 chipset, 4-GB RAM. # lspci 00:00.0 Memory controller: nVidia Corporation CK804 Memory Controller (rev a3) 00:01.0 ISA bridge: nVidia Corporation CK804 ISA Bridge (rev a3) 00:01.1 SMBus: nVidia Corporation CK804 SMBus (rev a2) 00:02.0 USB Controller: nVidia Corporation CK804 USB Controller (rev a2) 00:02.1 USB Controller: nVidia Corporation CK804 USB Controller (rev a3) 00:04.0 Multimedia audio controller: nVidia Corporation CK804 AC'97 Audio Controller (rev a2) 00:06.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation CK804 IDE (rev f2) 00:07.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation CK804 Serial ATA Controller (rev f3) 00:08.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation CK804 Serial ATA Controller (rev f3) 00:09.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation CK804 PCI Bridge (rev a2) 00:0b.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation CK804 PCIE Bridge (rev a3) 00:0c.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation CK804 PCIE Bridge (rev a3) 00:0d.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation CK804 PCIE Bridge (rev a3) 00:0e.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation CK804 PCIE Bridge (rev a3) 00:18.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] HyperTransport Technology Configuration 00:18.1 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] Address Map 00:18.2 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] DRAM Controller 00:18.3 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] Miscellaneous Control 01:05.0 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage XL (rev 27) 01:06.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): VIA Technologies, Inc.
