Could someone from the virtualization team look at this? Did this fix your problem? http://www.mail-archive.com/kvm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg14499.html Could it be that vgscan is not considering 'vda*' devices as possible physical volumes ? (In reply to comment #2) > Did this fix your problem? > http://www.mail-archive.com/kvm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg14499.html That was my initial problem but after rebuilding the initrd the kernel found the virtual devices (vda1 and vda2) but now it still doesn't find the volume group. Ok, I tweaked the initrd and added a "-vvv" to the vgscan which reveals the following: "/dev/vda2: Skipping: Unrecognized LVM device type 252" What version of the lvm2 RPM do you have - this should have been fixed a short while ago according to the changelogs: * Wed Mar 5 2008 Jeremy Katz <katzj> - 2.02.33-10 - recognize vio disks The latest version in rawhide is lvm2-2.02.33-9.fc9.i386. According to koji 2.02.33-10 never made it there: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=221 Looks like Jeremy forgot to request the build after committing to CVS... I rebuilt the lvm2 package with the sources from CVS (sources.redhat.com:/cvs/lvm2), installed it on the guest and rebuilt the initrd but the boot still fails with the same error.

Fixed virtio block device patch
The current patch for virtio in cvs is broken. This fixes it. With this applied
i can successfully run 'pvcreate /dev/vda'
Created attachment 300115 [details]
Fix clvmd compilation
Oh and the lvm2 package does not actually compile under rawhide. It is missing
a #include <limits.h> in the clvmd.c file. This patch fixes that brokenness too
It appears that commits to the LVM package are restricted in Fedora, so someone else will have to apply these and do a build... With the two patches applied the guest now boots properly except for the following error: Mounting local filesystems: mount: special device UUID=cd7b36bf-1578-44dd-857c-9a8a9c515580 does not exist The fstab entry looks like this: UUID=cd7b36bf-1578-44dd-857c-9a8a9c515580 /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 When I log in and try the respective command from rc.sysinit "mount -a -t nonfs,nfs4,smbfs,ncpfs,cifs,gfs,gfs2 -O no_netdev" I don't get this error and /boot is mounted properly. Thanks Dan, applied both (insert grumble about device name changing here) and building Dennis -- the latter like a separate problem and should probably be filed separately Closing this rawhide as Dennis already tested with the patches and had success. |
