It appears I see the same thing with the upstream 2.6.19 kernel. I will try to narrow down where this broke upstream. Please ignore my comment #1. the upstream kernel I built didn't boot due to a configuration mistake on my part. I have now successfully booted 2.6.19. I really should be more careful about doing things after a long vacation! I tried various fc7 kernels: kernel-2.6.19-1.2864.fc7 hangs on boot (unrelated issue) kernel-2.6.19-1.2872.fc7 hangs on boot (unrelated issue) kernel-2.6.19-1.2877.fc7 exhibits the problem Prarit reported here (as do later 2.6.19 based fc7 kernels) I need to go back to the 2.6.18 based kernels but it is looking like this crept in with 2.6.19. I did not see the problem with upstream 2.6.19 or the latest 2.6.20-rc3. Appears to be storage device specific. I tried 2.6.19-1.2904.fc7 on a system with the root device on /dev/cciss/ and it boots however I have no network devices due to ifcfg-eth0 being moved to ifcfg-eth0.bak (related? kudzu issue?). The scsi devices are on an LSI card that uses the mptscsi driver. The module is loaded and I do see messages as the drives are found: SCSI device sda: 143374738 512-byte hdwr sectors (73408 MB) sda: Write Protect is off sda: Mode Sense: cf 00 10 08 SCSI device sda: write cache: disabled, read cache: enabled, supports DPO and FU FUAUA SCSI device sda: 143374738 512-byte hdwr sectors (73408 MB) sda: Write Protect is off sda: Mode Sense: cf 00 10 08 SCSI device sda: write cache: disabled, read cache: enabled, supports DPO and FU FUAUA sda: sd 0:0:0:0: Attached scsi disk sda and I do see /dev/sda exists and I can partition it with parted, make a file system and mount it (once the system is already booted). I looked at the "init" script created by mkinitrd and it looks sane in fact the init created for 2.6.20-rc3 (which boots fine) is identical to the one created for the FC7 kernels that don't boot. this was likely due to the missing loading of scsi_wait_scan in the initrd. test4 (or current boot.iso's) should have this fixed. |
