Pretty sure this is an lvm problem caused by updating lvm and the kernel at the same time. Did you try recreating the initrd? /sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --mkinitrd --dracut --depmod --update kernel-2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.i686 (The above command all on one line.) I did (dracut <initramfs> <kernelversion>), but not in your way. Did: /sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --mkinitrd --dracut --depmod --update 2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.i686 checked that the initramfs was regenerated: # ls -la /boot/initramfs-2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.i686.img -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 11925278 Aug 17 07:36 /boot/initramfs-2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.i686.img checked the grub entry: title Fedora (2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.i686) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.i686 ro root=/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root LANG=en_DK.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=dk rdshell rdinitdebug initrd /initramfs-2.6.33.6-147.2.4.fc13.i686.img (back to the new initramfs) and booted this entry. This fails again and ends in the dracut shell. Forgot to get the log, but it looked similar, can get it after work today, if required. There's no difference between the logs from the failure and working case.

What does that mean exactly?
(In reply to comment #5) > There's no difference between the logs from the failure and working case. That's strange. When I compare them there are some differences. But maybe not enough. What else would you like to get? > > > The initramfs seems to be missing a step to create the /var/log.

Both boots complains about the missing /var/log but only the newer fails to find root device. In the dracut shell, I tried manually to run the /sbin/lvm_scan and the output is different if I have made the /var/log directory. Thus my (perhaps wrongly) conclusion was that this directory was required. This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '13'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
