Description pscottdv 2012-06-13 18:05:22 UTC
Description of problem:
When upgrading using preupgrade from Fedora 15 to Fedora 16, all appears to go well until after rebooting to anaconda.  At that point I am informed that the system cannot find /upgrade/ks.cfg

Switching to console 2, I find that no device exists for my RAID5 drive.

Normally I would expect to see something like:

$ ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jun 13 12:25 2033607e-7b74-4a0d-918c-e7d85d92aa45 -> ../../dm-0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jun 13 12:25 330a5124-cd2d-48da-bb30-38dcb936e1a9 -> ../../dm-1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Jun 13 12:25 40a2a9e5-eabe-45b3-87e8-a0d9a683e528 -> ../../cciss/c0d0p3
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Jun 13 12:25 f2e3437d-cb1d-44f9-8fc2-1e289273b32e -> ../../cciss/c0d0p1

Here my boot partition which contains /upgrade/ks.cfg is /dev/cciss/c0d0p3
dm-0 is my root partition and dm-1 is a swap partition.  Both of these partitions are on the RAID drive partition /dev/cciss/c0d0p2

/dev/cciss/c0d0p1 used to be my boot partition, but it was too small (200MB).  Fortunately, I had saved a few GB on my RAID drive so I was able to make a 1GB boot partition as c0d0p3.


However, after rebooting to anaconda the same command shows:

$ ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jun 13 12:25 2033607e-7b74-4a0d-918c-e7d85d92aa45 -> ../../dm-0

For some reason, it can see my root partition, but not my boot partition, nor my prior boot partition.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.1.10-1.fc15

I turned off yum plugins to see if that would help, but it did not.

How reproducible:
Same problem every time.  

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  On an HP DL-380 G4 with four drives configured as RAID5 in BIOS running Fedora 15, perform the following steps:

sudo yum clean all
sudo yum update
sudo yum clean all
sudo preupgrade

2.  Wait for preupgrade to complete and reboot
3.  After rebooting, preupgrade will fail with the message that the file HD:40a2a9e5-eabe-45b3-87e8-a0d9a683e528:/upgrade/ks.cfg could not be downloaded.
  
Actual results:
After rebooting, preupgrade will fail with the message that the file HD:40a2a9e5-eabe-45b3-87e8-a0d9a683e528:/upgrade/ks.cfg could not be downloaded.

The /dev/cciss device does not exist

Expected results:

Anaconda starts with the proper upgrade to Fedora 16

The /dev/cciss device is created during the boot process

Comment 2 pscottdv 2012-06-15 16:10:11 UTC
I rebooted to the Upgrade to Fedora 16 (Verne) selection and attempted to manually connect to my cciss (raid) devices from tty2 by loading the cciss kernel manually (using "modprobe cciss") but, while the module loaded, it did not create the /dev/cciss/c0d0* devices.

Note: the module was not loaded prior to my loading it manually.

This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached 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, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

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:
