Description Alexandre Oliva 2008-11-01 19:01:38 UTC

Description of problem:
I don't know how many of the $Summary are actually needed to trigger the problem, but the device dependency is clearly broken in 6.0.68.

With the 6.0.67 mkinitrd script (saved before the upgrade, running with 6.0.68 nash and libraries), I get the expected output:

Found swsusp device /sys/block/dm-1 for /dev/livre/swap

Whereas with the 6.0.68 mkinitrd script, all I get is:

Creating initramfs
Found root device /sys/block/dm-2 for /dev/livre/test
Looking for driver for device /sys/block/dm-2
Looking for driver for device dm-0
Found swsusp device /sys/block/dm-1 for /dev/livre/swap

Note how it fails to find md3, where / is, which makes the system unbootable.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mkinitrd-6.0.68

How reproducible:
Every time

Ugh, bugzilla searches ought to search in recently-closed bugs too :-(  Sorry about the noise.
