Description Kazunori Asayama 2007-11-14 05:39:45 UTC

Description of problem:

  PS3 fails in mounting non-LVM root filesystem on its internal hard disk drive
/dev/ps3d*. It looks like that the initrd can't recognize labels of non-LVM
partitions on PS3's internal HDD, and if replacing 'root=LABEL=/' in yaboot.conf
with 'root=/dev/ps3da2' etc, the root filesystem can be mounted normally.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

  kernel-2.6.23.1-42.fc8
  kernel-2.6.23.1-49.fc8

  mkinitrd-6.0.19-4.fc8


How reproducible:

  Everytime.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install F8 onto PS3 with non-LVM root filesystem.
2. Boot PS3.


Actual results:

Red Hat nash version 6.0.19 starting
Unable to access resume device (LABEL=SWAP-ps3da2)
mount: could not find filesystem '/dev/root'
setuproot: moving /dev failed: No such file or directory
setuproot: error mounting /proc: No such file or directory
setuproot: error mounting /sys: No such file or directory
setuproot: mount failed: No such file or directory


Expected results:

  PS3 boots normally with non-LVM root filesystem.

Hello,

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.

There hasn't been much activity on this bug for a while. Could you tell me if
you are still having problems with the latest kernel?

If the problem no longer exists then please close this bug or I'll do so in a
few weeks if there is no additional information lodged.

(In reply to comment #1)
This bug is the same one as #389331, so I'll mark this as duplicate of that.
