Is the package e2fsprogs-libs installed? If not, install it. Then make sure the mkinitrd package is current, and uninstall/reinstall the latest 2.6.22 kernel. (Or rebuild the initrd if you know how to use mkinitrd.) I checked that e2fsprogs-libs was installed, and also removed and re-installed the newer kernel. It made no difference. However, I have learned that this hardware has a history of problems. Currently on the PCI cards in it doesn't work on some boots, until you rmmod and modprobe the driver to reload it. It once suffered a power outage that killed the on-board ethernet, and was moved recently because someone claimed the video would not work through a KVM switch, only directly connected to the monitor. In short, perhaps nothing should be done with this bug report until someone else can confrim it on different hardware ? Sorry for false alarm (at least I hope it is) Hello Rob, I'm reviewing this bug as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to isolate current bugs in the fedora kernel. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage I am CC'ing myself to this bug and will try and assist you in resolving it if I can. I would first attempt what Chuck suggests - this could be resolved by updating to the latest kernel (I appreciate you have already done this once but running the latest stable wont hurt) and if this does not resolve the issue then could you run: rpm -qa | grep -i mkinitrd and post back the output. If you're willing and able you could also run the following on a working and a failing initrd image under /boot: mkdir ~/bad-initrd cd ~/bad-initrd/ gzip -dc /boot/initrd-bad-kernel-version.img | cpio -id mkdir ~/good-initrd cd ~/good-initrd/ gzip -dc /boot/initrd-good-kernel-version.img | cpio -id obviously replacing the initrd-bad-kernel-version.img and initrd-good-kernel-version.img with the appropriate values. The run: diff -u ~/bad-initrd/init ~/good-initrd/init > ~/init-diff.txt and attach init-diff.txt as text/plain attachment to this bug. Only do this if you feel comfortable with it. Alternatively, you can send both init images to me directly with this bug number as the subject. Cheers Chris As indicated previously there has been no update on the progress of this bug therefore I am closing it as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Please re-open if the issue still occurs for you and I will try to assist in its resolution. Thank you for taking the time to report the initial bug. |
Description of problem: Kernel panic when booting 2.6.22.4-65.fc7 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel 2.6.22.4-65.fc7 How reproducible: boot Steps to Reproduce: 1. Note that this server was built by updating an FC4 installation to FC6, and then to Fedora 7. 2. Once the update is done, boot to the default kernel, it fails 3. Then attempt to boot from the old FC6 kernel. This works. 4. While in the FC6 kernel running on the newly updated FC7, do a yum update to get the latest of everything 5. Afterwards try again to boot from the newer Fedora 7 kernel, which is 2.6.22.4-65.fc7, and it fails again. The old FC6 kernel still works. 6. Try adding acpi=off to the kernel boot command, still fails Actual results: This is the last thing found on the screen, note I transcribed it by hand because I couldn't capture it directly: powernow_k8: BIOS error - no PSB or ACPI _PSS objects Using IPI No shortcut needed Magic Number: 7:315:830 driver/rtc/hctosys.c: unable to open rtc device (rtc0) Freeing unused kernel memory: 269k freed Write protect kernel read-only data: 862k /bin/nash: error while loading shared libraries: libuuid.so.1: cannot open shared opject file: No such file or directory Kerneol panic -- not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
