Hmm, Can you please run mkinitrd -v .... &> log on this boxes and attach the resulting log files? Thanks! Created attachment 333341 [details]
mkinitrd -v w/o any preload added (from ppc64 box that needs ipr)
Created attachment 333342 [details]
mkinitrd -v w/preload ipr added
Here ya go. Can also provide remote access to the box, if so desired.
Hadn't actually looked at those closely 'til now. Both include the ipr module, but w/o the preload, the software raid module gets loaded first, and the arrays aren't found because the disks aren't accessible yet. I never see any evidence of the disk controller module actually loading though, even after the raid module has already loaded. I don't think the order of loading the modules is the issue. Access to a box with this problem would be great, can you contact me on irc about this? I'm hansg both on internal irc as on freenode. Okay, so this seems to have been a transient rawhide failure, probably kernel-side, which is now resolved on both my ipr and sata_svw boxes w/2.6.29-rc8 and later, no work-arounds required at all to get them booting properly. |
Description of problem: mkinitrd fails to include required disk controller modules lately. Two boxes of mine that work just fine with F10 fail to boot w/rawhide. One is an x86_64 machine w/its root volume on a sata_svw-driven controller, one is a ppc64 machine w/its root volume on an ipr-driven controller. If I manually run mkinitrd w/--preload={sata_svw,ipr}, then the machines can boot again. Possibly of relevance, both have their root volumes on software RAID arrays. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mkinitrd-6.0.78-1.fc11 How reproducible: Install rawhide mkinitrd and kernel on a box that doesn't have its root volume on a disk attached to a controller which has its module built into the kernel now.
