Please let me know any other information you think you would be useful. I used mkinitrd to rebuild my initrd but as expected it had no effect. From the error message, it looks like the kernel isn't even finding the file. My best guess is the f8 kernel does not have sufficient drivers compiled in to read the initrd from my sata drive. My partition table is as follows: Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80000000000 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9726 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00000080 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux /dev/sda2 14 7513 60243750 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sda3 7514 9726 17775922+ 8e Linux LVM The following is the list of modules loaded by the fc7 kernel: Module Size Used by tun 17217 1 ipt_MASQUERADE 11329 1 iptable_nat 14661 1 nf_nat 25837 2 ipt_MASQUERADE,iptable_nat bridge 59241 0 rfcomm 50537 0 l2cap 36161 9 rfcomm bluetooth 64325 4 rfcomm,l2cap autofs4 28361 3 sunrpc 168009 1 nf_conntrack_netbios_ns 10945 0 xt_physdev 10961 1 ipt_REJECT 12353 3 ipt_LOG 14145 1 nf_conntrack_ipv4 17225 5 iptable_nat xt_state 10689 3 nf_conntrack 65217 6 ipt_MASQUERADE,iptable_nat,nf_nat,nf_conntrack_netbios_ns,nf_conntrack_ipv4,xt_state nfnetlink 13321 3 nf_nat,nf_conntrack_ipv4,nf_conntrack iptable_filter 11073 1 ip_tables 26153 2 iptable_nat,iptable_filter xt_tcpudp 11713 27 ip6t_REJECT 12993 2 ip6table_filter 10817 1 ip6_tables 21129 1 ip6table_filter x_tables 23113 10 ipt_MASQUERADE,iptable_nat,xt_physdev,ipt_REJECT,ipt_LOG,xt_state,ip_tables,xt_tcpudp,ip6t_REJECT,ip6_tables cpufreq_ondemand 15569 4 acpi_cpufreq 16977 0 dm_multipath 24273 0 ipv6 307273 35 ip6t_REJECT kvm_intel 28125 0 kvm 69657 1 kvm_intel nvidia 7010708 18 snd_hda_intel 338021 4 snd_seq_dummy 11461 0 snd_seq_oss 37185 0 snd_seq_midi_event 14913 1 snd_seq_oss snd_seq 56673 5 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event snd_seq_device 15061 3 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq snd_pcm_oss 47553 0 parport_pc 35049 0 snd_mixer_oss 22721 2 snd_pcm_oss parport 42189 1 parport_pc snd_pcm 80585 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm_oss firewire_ohci 23873 0 i2c_i801 16733 0 i5000_edac 17097 0 firewire_core 46081 1 firewire_ohci i2c_core 28737 2 nvidia,i2c_i801 button 15713 0 snd_timer 27721 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm edac_core 51449 3 i5000_edac iTCO_wdt 19857 0 iTCO_vendor_support 11717 1 iTCO_wdt snd 59753 14 snd_hda_intel,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer tg3 110405 0 soundcore 14945 2 snd shpchp 37853 0 serio_raw 14149 0 joydev 17601 0 crc_itu_t 10433 1 firewire_core snd_page_alloc 16337 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm floppy 65769 0 sg 40169 0 sr_mod 23269 0 cdrom 40425 1 sr_mod dm_snapshot 22793 0 dm_zero 10305 0 dm_mirror 26945 0 dm_mod 57521 15 dm_multipath,dm_snapshot,dm_zero,dm_mirror ata_piix 24133 0 ahci 29893 3 libata 113905 2 ata_piix,ahci sd_mod 33217 4 scsi_mod 145401 4 sg,sr_mod,libata,sd_mod raid456 128353 0 async_xor 12609 1 raid456 async_memcpy 11201 1 raid456 async_tx 14773 3 raid456,async_xor,async_memcpy xor 13649 2 raid456,async_xor raid1 28481 1 ext3 126929 4 jbd 64689 1 ext3 mbcache 15809 1 ext3 ehci_hcd 38989 0 ohci_hcd 27845 0 uhci_hcd 30561 0 Please post contents of /etc/fstab Created attachment 253031 [details]

Can you capture the boot messages on a serial console? The initrd contents look almost exactly the same (they are just .cpio.gz files.) Also boot with "vga=791" option and see if there are any other error messages. Take a picture with a digital camera and attach that if there is any additional information there.

This is a video of booting the F8 kernel. Sorry, I can't find my tripod, so
this is very jittery.

picture of kernel panic with the vga=791 boot option.
Sorry, no serial cable. But as you can see from the screen shots, and the video there is virtually no diagnostic information. I have a hard time believing this is hardware related, because so many people at Red Hat are using the Dell 490, this would have been spotted sooner. However, this happens so early in the boot sequence, I can not really see how it can be anything but a hardware related problem. Bill Try removing the quiet and crashkernel parameters.

Booting without the quiet and crash options. This is much more verbose, but I
do not see anything that looks useful.

kernel-panic-f8-vgi=792.jpg
I have isolated the cause. It seems lvm2 made my volume group scratch larger than the physical partition. This resulted in a corruption... In theory, this should be reassigned as an lvm2 bug, but since I have no idea how to reproduce the problem, or even which package version originally created the problem, that would probably not be a productive. Bill I guess this is more complicated than I thought. I fixed the lvm2 problem, and the 2.6.23.1-42.fc8 kernel works. But then yum updated to the 2.6.23.1-49.fc8 version, which has the exact same kernel panic init not found problem. Bill I finally isolated the problem. It is definitely the initrd file. If I create an initrd file with a fresh Fedora 8 install, the initrd file works. If I create the same initrd file with Fedora 8 created by upgrading from Fedora 7, the initrd does not work. I do see there are some differences between the two initrd's. The following are the significant differences: Binary files 2.6.23.1-42.fc8.broken/etc/ld.so.cache and 2.6.23.1-42.fc8.works/etc/ld.so.cache differ Only in 2.6.23.1-42.fc8.broken/etc/ld.so.conf.d: openais-x86_64.conf Only in 2.6.23.1-42.fc8.works/lib64: ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 diff: 2.6.23.1-42.fc8.works/lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0: No such file or directory Only in 2.6.23.1-42.fc8.works/lib64: libglib-2.0.so.0.1400.2 Only in 2.6.23.1-42.fc8.broken/lib64: libglib-2.0.so.0.1400.3 Binary files 2.6.23.1-42.fc8.broken/usr/lib64/libnl.so.1.0-pre5 and 2.6.23.1-42.fc8.works/usr/lib64/libnl.so.1.0-pre5 differ Created attachment 269821 [details]
working initrd-2.6.23.1-42.fc8.img
This initrd was created with a fresh Fedora 8 install, and boots normally.
The problem is the following: Only in 2.6.23.1-42.fc8.works/lib64: ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 Ultimately this is caused, because initrd is not copying the symbolic link for hte upgraded system, but it is copying the symbolic link for the fresh install system. I do not understand how the symbolic link gets copied in either case... Bill mkinitrd used to copy the old library and that bug was fixed; now it looks like it doesn't copy anything at all in some cases? Created attachment 269991 [details]
Patch to fix mkinitrd script
I've tested that this patch fixes the problem by explicitly adding symbolic
links to the dependencies list.
Any chance of apply this fix to the test channel? I'm pretty sure this was fixed before the F8 release. This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Yeah, this was fixed. |
