first MB of dirty data that make init crash at boot
There's nothing in init that reads partitions - this is more likely the kernel or drivers. Is the e2fsprogs package up-to-date on this system? e2fsprogs-1.40.2-10.fc8 is installed. kernel version is kernel-2.6.23.8-63.fc8 (i run a system update few hours ago) fyi: i tried to mount the root with roto=/dev/sda1 and root=LABEL=/12 but in both case i can hit the problem. the rescue cd does not have problem with the dirty partition and is able to find and mount automatically my root partition on the first drive. let me know if you are able to reproduce the bug.

What i don't understand is: after the installation of e2fsprogs the initrd image was not touched so initrd-2.6.23.8-63.fc8.img is still the one installed by the last kernel update and if i get it right the error present when init is run and the actual root (with the e2fsprogs utility) provided by the initrd image. maybe the e2fsprogs-1.40.2-11.fc8 contain the fix but then i should manually update the initrd image or wait for the next kernel package update. can you confirm? meanwhile i'll try to make some other test.

Yes, that needs to be done too. There are directions for rebuilding the initrd here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelCommonProblems i just did another test now with the initrd image updated and it works fine! no more hang at boot. for me this bug can be closed. thank you very much Luigi |
