Description Fabio Bettoni 2006-12-18 15:59:37 UTC
Description of problem:
kernel-2.6.19-1.2877.fc7 and kernel-2.6.19-1.2881.fc7 don't boot

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.19-1.2877.fc7 and kernel-2.6.19-1.2881.fc7
kernel-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6 is last working kernel

How reproducible: @boot

Actual results:
Creating root device.
Mounting root filesystem.
mount: could not find filesystem '/dev/root'
Setting up other filesystems.
Setting up new root fs
setuproot: moving /dev failed: No such file or directory
no fstab.sys, mounting internal defaults
setuproot: error mouKernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
nting /proc: No such file or dir


Additional info:
initrd of 2.6.19 is much bigger than old 2.6.18

Fabio, what type of HP system is this?

Thanks,

P.

Comment 6 Fabio Bettoni 2007-01-23 12:53:39 UTC
rx4640

Comment 7 Prarit Bhargava 2007-01-23 13:57:55 UTC
dchapman, do we have one of these in Westford?

P.

Comment 8 Doug Chapman 2007-01-23 14:19:54 UTC
Prarit,

We have a couple of these (duablo and diablo2).  However, this looks like the
same problem you filed against rawhide several weeks ago about not being able to
mount SCSI drives (don't have the BZ # handy).  Also there was that other BZ
someone mentioned on the fedora-ia64 list (originally filed under PPC) which I
think was actually the same issue.  So, based on the fact that it now works on
your rx2620 hopefully this is fixed.

I am swamped with RHEL5 testing right now but I will see if I can run a quick
install test on my rx4640 today.


Comment 9 Prarit Bhargava 2007-01-23 14:31:41 UTC
dchapman,

I'll reserve diablo2 and install Fedora and see if this works ...

P.

Comment 10 Doug Chapman 2007-01-23 18:39:00 UTC
Fabio,

I had seen this same thing in the past with both the Fedora/rawhide kernels as
well as with the upstream kernels.  Appears that the fix was made upstream and
just now made it into the rawhide tree.

I was able to install and boot the build dated 20070122 with kernel version
2.6.19-1.2912.fc7 on my rx4640.

I will leave this open for now so you can confirm it works OK on your system.


Comment 11 Fabio Bettoni 2007-01-24 10:21:27 UTC
Hi Doug,

As you can see from my last log I already tried kernel-2.6.19-1.2912.fc7 and it 
does not work. You talk about build dated 20070122. Does it means there are 
more than one kernel-2.6.19-1.2912.fc7 ?

Fabio

No there is only one build 2912.  Fabio, it just occurred to me that you are
only updating the kernel and not the whole distro?

P.

Comment 13 Fabio Bettoni 2007-01-24 13:00:27 UTC
I update everything with yum -y update

Comment 14 Doug Chapman 2007-01-24 14:25:44 UTC
Fabio,

Sincere apologies!  Sorry I had not looked more closely at what kernel you were
using.  I looked more closely at your boot log this time.  The only difference I
can tell between what you did and what I did is you have the filesystem directly
on a partition while I was using LVM.  This might be an issue with finding a
filesystem by the label.

Can you try modifying your elilo.conf so you boot with root=/dev/sda2? (or
whatever partition you used as your root when you installed)

I am pretty much tied up with RHEL5 testing right now (as is all of my hardware)
but if I find a few spare cycles I will try installing without LVM to see if I
can reproduce the issue you are seeing.


Comment 15 Fabio Bettoni 2007-01-24 15:14:11 UTC
I changed /etc/fstab from

Comment 19 Fabio Bettoni 2007-01-26 12:44:49 UTC
NOOOOOOOOOOOO. pleeeease.

Why should it change ?

Can I have modprobe.conf from your rx4640 installation ? I think it should be 
mpt/scsi drivers issues I had during the past.

Fabio

Comment 20 Prarit Bhargava 2007-01-26 14:16:11 UTC
Fabio, Fedora does a "best effort" with yum upgrades.  It is not guaranteed to
work.  

Having said that, there clearly is some other package update required before
updating the kernel.

Try the following:

yum update mkinitrd
yum update kernel

P.

Comment 21 Fabio Bettoni 2007-01-26 14:23:26 UTC
Hi Prarit,

they are already updated to latest version:
mkinitrd-6.0.6-2
nash-6.0.6-2
module-init-tools-3.3-0.pre3.1.6.fc7

I don't know if it does matter, I opened some time ago bug #203696. I think 
it's something similar loading mpt and scsi drivers.

Fabio

I think that's a side effect of the missing dependency, and not the root cause.

AFAICT, a fresh install doesn't have this problem.

Comment 23 Fabio Bettoni 2007-01-26 14:45:01 UTC
It's hard for me to do a fresh install.

I will try to compile a vanilla kernel by myself.

Meanwhile is not possible to have an initrd from you to match with mine ?

I can probably do an other rawhide install on my rxs4640 sometime today and I
will attach the initrd.img and modprobe.conf here.

- Doug


Comment 25 Fabio Bettoni 2007-01-26 15:37:15 UTC
I think you could also send to me from your existing RHEL. It's only to match 
modprobe.conf and files inside initrd.

Also could be useful, if possible, to have kernel-xxxxx.rpm of RHEL.

Meanwhile I'm compiling 2.6.20-rc6

Fabio

Comment 26 Fabio Bettoni 2007-01-26 15:57:56 UTC
It worked with vanilla 2.6.20-rc6 compiled by myself and the following 
modprobe.conf:
--------------
alias eth1 e1000
alias eth0 e1000
alias scsi_hostadapter mptbase
alias scsi_hostadapter1 sym53c8xx
alias usb-controller ohci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 ehci-hcd
alias bond0 bonding
options bonding mode=1 miimon=100
--------------
I'm getting a lot of:
chunk_aligned_read : non aligned




Comment 27 Prarit Bhargava 2007-01-26 16:14:42 UTC
> It worked with vanilla 2.6.20-rc6 compiled by myself and the following 

And this implies that some other package update is required before updating the
kernel (as I've said before).

P.

Comment 28 Fabio Bettoni 2007-01-26 16:23:24 UTC
I don't understand you. If I can compile a working kernel vanilla kernel, it 
means all existing packages except kernel are Ok (gcc, nash, mkinitrd, 
modutils), and also config files like modprobe.conf and fstab are ok.


So I think the kernel is not correct for my system. On monday I will try to 
compile 2.6.19 vanilla kernel  and also play with fedora .config file and 
vanilla customized .config.

I think is something related to mpt,scsi,sd drivers or also to GPT partitioning 
scheme.

Fabio

Comment 29 Fabio Bettoni 2007-01-26 16:34:19 UTC
MMh diffing .config file from rahide 2.6.18, 2.6.19.n and my vanilla kernel the 
only diff is CONFIG_SCSI_SCAN_ASYNC.

On 2.6.18 it was not set and worked,
On 2.6.19 it was set and is not working.
On 2.6.20-rc6 I have not set and is working.

On monday I will compile vanilla kernel setting CONFIG_SCSI_SCAN_ASYNC and I 
expect it not working.

I doubt that's it ... but it was worth a shot.

Recompiling with CONFIG_SCSI_SCAN_ASYNC=y had no effect.  Recompiled kernel boots.

Comment 33 Prarit Bhargava 2007-01-26 19:36:56 UTC
Fabio,

There are two ways out of this.  The quick way is to boot your system and execute

>setenforce 0

And then yum install or install the kernel rpm.

The second way (the long way) is to update the selinux-policy prior to updating
the kernel.  This takes a long time though ;)

AFAICT, the underlying issue is that the selinux-policy had a bug in it which it
disallows rpm calling mkinitrd in some context.  Disabling selinux (setenforce
0) or updating selinux-policy will resolve the problem.

P.

Comment 34 Prarit Bhargava 2007-01-26 19:44:54 UTC
Since this has been resolved in selinux-policy, this technically is NOTABUG.  It
was, however, a royal pain in the neck.

Comment 35 Fabio Bettoni 2007-01-29 10:38:31 UTC
Hi P.

selinux was already disabled on my system having SELINUX=disabled 
in /etc/sysconfig/selinux.

yum update always worked for all kernel up to 2.16.18

I don't see selinux error on dmesg or /var/log/messages.


I read async scsi scan can give some troubles.

Strange is I cannot disable it putting scsi_mod.scan="sync" in elilo.conf 
(Unknown boot option `scsi_mod.scan=sync': ignoring) or loading 
scsi_wait_scan.ko available in /lib/modules/2.6.19-
1.2914.fc7/kernel/drivers/scsi but not inserted in initrd.img when I put 
in /etc/modprobe.conf "install scsi_wait_scan /sbin/modprobe scsi_wait_scan"


Comment 36 Fabio Bettoni 2007-01-29 11:23:58 UTC
Hi P.
I recompiled vanilla kernel with CONFIG_SCSI_SCAN_ASYNC and it does not work 
and behave the same way Fedora kernel does.

Maybe problem is my hardware SCSI configuration is different. I have 2 disks on 
mptspi and 4 disks on sym53c8xx. So async scan can be different.

Also mkinitrd is the same used by fedora kernel installation and my make 
install. If selinux matters also if not enabled, is the same for fedora kernel 
isntallation and my make install.

Thank yuo

Comment 37 Fabio Bettoni 2007-01-29 13:17:12 UTC
Hi P.

the problems is definetly the async scsi scan.

I removed 2.6.19 kernel (rpm -e kernel-2.6.19-1.2914.fc7),
configured a fake scsi_hostadapter in modprobe.conf to load scsi_wait_scan 
module (see modprobe.conf below),
updated kernel (yum -y update)
and IT WORKS (no matter selinux, mkinitrd, fresh installation).

scsi_wait_scan module waits all scsi devices are scanned and terminates, the 
boot process continues finding all scsi devices available. Without it, the 
kernel continue to boot and does not find root device and hangs.

I think it works because you have only one scsi disk and it's found 
immediately. My root device is hdb and maybe take longer to be scanned, so it's 
not found in time.
