Description Sami Farin 2012-02-29 22:31:57 UTC
Description of problem:

systems fails to boot with "Failed to execute /init".

dracut creates this kind of dir structure:

# ls -ld lib64/libtinfo.so* usr usr/lib64 lib64
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      9 Mar  1 00:14 lib64 -> usr/lib64
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     15 Mar  1 00:14 lib64/libtinfo.so -> libtinfo.so.5.9
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     28 Mar  1 00:14 lib64/libtinfo.so.5 -> ../usr/lib64/libtinfo.so.5.9
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 167608 Mar  1 00:14 lib64/libtinfo.so.5.9
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root     61 Mar  1 00:14 usr
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root   8192 Mar  1 00:14 usr/lib64
# file {/,}lib64/libtinfo.so.5
/lib64/libtinfo.so.5: symbolic link to `libtinfo.so.5.9'
lib64/libtinfo.so.5:  broken symbolic link to `../usr/lib64/libtinfo.so.5.9'

# chroot /boot/grub2/x lib64/ld-2.15.so bin/bash
bin/bash: error while loading shared libraries: libtinfo.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I think this is why on boot kernel fails to execute /init .
Most of the other symlinks are broken, too.  When I fix them (like they are in the real /lib64 , that chroot command works.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
016-9.git20120217.fc17

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run dracut
2.
3.
  
Actual results:


Expected results:


Additional info:
initrd created with dracut-014 manages to boot the system (but system shutdown does not work)

at least it now creates dir structure which works with that chroot test.
but I am not doing a reboot test right now..

Comment 3 Sami Farin 2012-03-02 16:27:28 UTC
had to reboot due to drm problems, now with this updated dracut and 3.3rc5 kernel, it works ok, and reboot also works without panic.
