Last page of boot output
OK, so I hacked the initrd not to run plymouth, which was eating the console messages, even with plymouth:nolog. Doing that I see: === Making device-mapper control node mdadm: /dev/md0 not identified in config file Scanning logical volumes Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while... Activating logical vlumes Volume group "VolGroup00" not found === And continuing on with related failure to === switchroot; mount failed: no such file or directory Booting has failed. === So that gets close to figuring out what's going wrong. Problem was that anaconda wrote out an /etc/mdadm.conf missing the device name: === ARRAY level=raid1 num-devices=2 UUID=60c552bd:d2aade90:5a036e43:18fe0dfd === (should have /dev/md0 after ARRAY.) I hadn't tried reinstalling with a fresh Anaconda image for a few weeks, so it's possible that this problem has already been fixed. Reassigning to Anaconda. This will be fixed in the next build of anaconda. Thanks for the bug report. |
Created attachment 340158 [details] second to last page of boot output Fresh install of Rawhide onto an existing lvm parition does not boot. This happened with the Beta, and still happens if I boot into the system yum upgrade everything to the latest and re-run mkinitrd. I'll attach photos of the last two pages of boot output - it appears that it is getting into the initrd, but not past there. Not clear to me what other relevant information is, random notes: * /boot is a separate ext3 partition, / is a lvm partition on a raid-1 array * System has a Intel DQ35JOE motherboard; which is a "legacy-free" motherboard (no serial, no PS/2) with i945-ish graphics. Core 2 Duo processor. * Hang is the same with or without nomodeset. * System is mounted from rescue mode from the installer CD fine, looks fine as far as I can tell.
