dmesg

When booting a f16+updates-testing live image I get

[   17.620676] udevd[657]: failed to execute '/sbin/initqueue' '/sbin/initqueue --settled --onetime --unique /sbin/dmsquash-live-root /dev/sdb': No such file or directory

Comment 1 Harald Hoyer 2011-08-29 15:42:13 UTC
what is the output of:

# lsinitrd <livecd initrd.img>

Comment 2 Mads Kiilerich 2011-08-29 16:29:54 UTC

lsinitrd /media/live/syslinux/initrd0.img

It is not in the initrd created for the live cd - see the attached output.

I can however confirm that it exists in a corresponding initrd for an 'ordinary' system with the same package versions.

The live initrd was build with /etc/sysconfig/mkinitrd :

LIVEOS="yes"
PROBE="no"
MODULES+="squashfs ext4 ext3 ext2 vfat msdos "
MODULES+="sr_mod sd_mod ide-cd cdrom =ata sym53c8xx aic7xxx ehci_hcd uhci_hcd ohci_hcd usb_storage usbhid firewire-sbp2 firewire-ohci sbp2 ohci1394 ieee1394 mmc_block sdhci sdhci-pci pata_pcmcia mptsas udf virtio_blk virtio_pci "

- but I don't know if that could play any role ... or what controls how/when the iniqueue creation script is called.

I noticed
  /sbin/lsinitrd: line 27: file: command not found
when I ran lsinitrd - which is true. It is a minimal live cd and no packages required 'file'. I do however not see any indication that that can explain why iniqueue isn't created.

Hmm... this really should work.

Comment 5 Harald Hoyer 2011-08-29 18:19:26 UTC
ooooooh... 

[   11.440251] dracut: Switching root
[   17.620676] udevd[657]: failed to execute '/sbin/initqueue' '/sbin/initqueue --settled --onetime --unique /sbin/dmsquash-live-root /dev/sdb': No such file or directory

Huh?? How could that happen? We are not in the dracut initramfs anymore and we have udev rules from the initramfs still floating around....

Let me have a close look!

Comment 6 Harald Hoyer 2011-08-29 18:23:01 UTC
You don't happen to have "/etc/udev/rules.d/99-liveiso-mount.rules" in your live-CD root?

Comment 7 Mads Kiilerich 2011-08-29 19:06:47 UTC
No 99-liveiso-mount.rule anywhere. Also no 99-live-squash.rules.

Do the old initramfs udev and all children die silently when the real udev starts?

Comment 8 Mads Kiilerich 2011-08-29 19:31:12 UTC
The live system do have /run/udev/rules.d/99-live-squash.rules and /run/initramfs/sbin/initqueue .

Comment 9 Harald Hoyer 2011-08-29 21:55:09 UTC
can you upload the .iso somewhere for me to inspect it?

Comment 10 Mads Kiilerich 2011-08-29 22:13:20 UTC
I assume the latest isos from http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/ can be used - I will verify that tomorrow.

Comment 11 Mads Kiilerich 2011-08-30 14:03:39 UTC
Reproduced with Fedora-16-Nightly-20110828.10-x86_64-Live-desktop.iso from http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/
- livecd-iso-to-disk'ed and booted with enforcing=0
