Description Mark McLoughlin 2007-06-19 13:07:22 UTC

This change:

  * Mon Jun 18 2007 David Cantrell <dcantrell> - 5.1.19.6-4
  - Make sure to copy in /var/lib/multipath/bindings to the initrd
  - Bring up multipath devices by WWID on initrd boot
  - Resolves: rhbz#185852
  - Resolves: rhbz#216240

seems to have broken iSCSI root

The problem is simple - we now attempt to start the iSCSI initiator before
bringing up the network device

A custom initrd with the network line re-ordered before the iscsistart line
works fine for me

Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release.  Product Management has requested
further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential

release.

Comment 2 David Cantrell 2007-06-19 14:46:59 UTC

Marking as a dupe of bug #185852 since this is related and part of the larger
rhel5-multipath feature.  Not exactly a dupe, but still marking it because this
change needs to be in that patch.
