We will look into this. Any luck with this bug? I would really like to install RH 7.1 on my machines. Do you need more information? The SGI XFS 1.0 installer fails the same way. The RH 7.0 installer fails the same way. Both RH 7.1 beta installers fail the same way. I'm still trying to figure out how this particular failure can happen. Hi Again, This morning I tried an install with XFS 1.0.1 PR3, but the same error occurs. Here is what vt4 reports, when trying to do an upgrade from 6.2 autorun ... considering hdb1 ... adding hdb1 ... adding hda5 ... created md0 bind <hda5,1> bind <hdb1,2> running <hdb1><hda5> hdb1's event counter: 00000025 hda5's event counter: 00000025 RAID level -1 does not need chunksize! Continuing anyway. md.c: presonality 1 is not loaded do_md_run() returned -22 md0 stopped. unbind <hdb1,1> export_rdev(hdb1) unbind <hda5,0> export_rdev(hda5) ... autorun DONE. can you try making an initrd with --with=raid1 ? I am sorry. I am not sure if I follow what you want me to do. Please elaborate if you think it is worth the time. I got around this upgrade problem, by a hack. 1. umounted raid device 2. fdisk the partitions of the raid device to type Linux ext2 3. Move raidtab file 4. Upgrade to Rh 7.1 5. fdisk partitions back to fd 6. move raidtab back. 7. Works! I have one machine with RedHat 7.1 beta1 on it, with which I could try your suggestion. If you are interested in telling me how. Thanks. OK, I'm going to try to make the raid starting code more rhobust, you don't need to do anything further. *** Bug 40043 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** What is the status of your fix msw? the next release will handle this gracefully. Hi! Sorry to report, but I just tried upgrading to 7.2 and I still get the same errors that I reported before. Any ideas?? Unfortunately, my floppy dump of the error did not work, but I will try again in a couple of hours to get the error and attach it here. Daryl Created attachment 40669 [details]
Dump from installer (sorry about multiple post)
msw committed a fix for this to CVS Can we close this as Rawhide then? |
