Description

Having both "stage2=hd:UUID=XXX" and "ks=hd:UUID=XXX" meant we had two jobs to perform when the disk with UUID=XXX appeared. Unfortunately, initqueue did unexpected things with the job names such that the two jobs collided. Try this and tell me if it fixes the problem: - boot with 'rd.break=cmdline' - when the shell appears, do: sed -i 's/--unique//' /lib/anaconda-lib.sh exit The patch I'm proposing does, basically, that. If you can confirm that works, we can skip the process of filing a new blocker bug when the next unexpected bug appears. :D Created attachment 576325 [details]
init.log after applying the 'workaround' suggested by wwoods
I tried wwoods' suggested workaround without success:
09-04-2012 14:34:01 < wwoods!wwoods@nat/redhat/x-sxoulxstnhtqfwjd: adamw: if you
want to test the fix, it's pretty easy: boot with rd.break=cmdline, then:
09-04-2012 14:34:21 < wwoods!wwoods@nat/redhat/x-sxoulxstnhtqfwjd: sed -i 's/--u
nique//' /lib/anaconda-lib.sh
09-04-2012 14:34:37 < wwoods!wwoods@nat/redhat/x-sxoulxstnhtqfwjd: then exit the
shell and it should start the installer
still get an initqueue failure, with a devexists-\\x2fdev\x2froot.sh that fails and also a kickstart.sh that still fails. There is no /tmp/ks.cfg or /tmp/ks.cfg.done. Here is the init.log.

test run with anaconda 17.19 and edited anaconda-lib.sh
I added rd.break=cmdline rd.debug console=ttyS0 to the cmdline (rd.debug doesn't seem to log properly when used with rd.break=cmdline).
I edited anaconda-lib.sh to remove the --unique flag and to add the readlink modification to dev_is_mounted.

additional debugging
added rd.udev.info and rd.udev.debug
Things seem to go wrong around line 11248 where the initqueue being run from udev.
-- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers It turns out that also doing: sed -i 's/1-.dev/1/' /lib/anaconda-lib.sh to replicate the other part of wwoods' patch results in success.
