*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 398281 ***

I have try to rewrite initrd but no change.

Vmlinuz Execution is correct.
Problem is when kernel try to execute initrd => Obtain error messge.

Computer Configuration :
Motherboard Tyan S2895
Ram 6Go
3 SATA Disk
4 Scsi Disk

I have install fedora 8 on 1st Sata Disk part 3.

Boot Sata Disk:
/dev/mapper/nvidia_ajajcgcb: x86 boot sector; partition 2: ID=0x7, starthead 6,
startsector 311291904, 311218176 sectors; partition 3: ID=0x83, starthead 0,
startsector 622518750, 102398310 sectors; partition 4: ID=0xf, starthead 19,
startsector 724918272, 251852800 sectors

First patition is Windows XP
Second partition is Fedora 8
Third partition is Vista ultimate 64b on extended part

With FC7, no problem.

if i modify mkinitrd to create an dm list before dm create, i obtain
automatically the init[1] segfault.

If i boot in rescue mode, i have no problem to execute dm list command

From rescue mode :
bash-3.2# ./test
/bin/echo  'Loading dm-mod.ko module'
rmparts sde

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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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

Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
