Attaching the image(snapshot) taken during kernel panic.
Naveen, It would be helpful if you can get the serial console output, showing all the boot messages prior to the crash. Thanks. Tom This worked in snap 1 and fails in snap 2. Any ideas from the Anaconda team? Naveen, This looks like software raid (mirroring) not being recognized as such, have you configured software raid during installation? Can you please tell us what kind of partitioning scheme you are using (software raid or not, lvm or not, etc.) ? Created attachment 323847 [details]

Iam going with the default installation scheme. So that includes LVM. And software RAID is not used. Naveen - I've been informed by the anaconda team to try the Snap 3 bits when they are released and report your findings here if you could... a lot of changes are going into Snap 3. Hi Andrius, Ok. Then I will try with the snapshot3 and will post the results. (In reply to comment #5) > Created an attachment (id=323847) [details] > Attaching the serial console output during the panic Humm, unfortunately not much to go on there. It looks like you have done an install to a multipath lpfc Fibre Channel disk. The source of the problem is that the root volume is not found: device-mapper: table: 253:2: linear: dm-linear: Device lookup failed The other problem: "Found duplicate PV" is because there are multiple paths to the PV. This is discussed here: http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_96_11252.shtm Were you seeing the duplicate PV message previously (5.3 snapshot 1, or 5.2)? Will the system boot if you disconnect all but one path to the Fibre Channel boot/root disk? Tom This problem is still seen on Snapshot3.

I installed OS on SANboot LUN (with multiple paths to it) and then I disconnected all paths but one. Still kernel did panic. Did you try taking multipath out of the picture, and seeing if this happens when you try to setup a SANboot system with the root LVM directly on to of the scsi device (instead of on top of the multipath device)? You said that you disconnected all the paths but one, but did you reinstall after that without multipath? The installation on top of scsi device is successful. No panic in this scenario. Well, I'm not exactly sure what is wrong yet, but I know that the bug is in nash. This issue appears to be the same as bz #471879, which is fixed in nash-5.1.19.6-41 oops. I meant to say that this is the same as bz #471689. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 471689 *** And nash-5.1.19.6-41 will be included in Snapshot 5. Naveen, thanks for your patience with this. This issue is fixed in Snapshot5. |
