From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Description of problem: SCSI only. Three disks, only sda used for install. sdb, sdc unused. /boot using ext3. LVM2 used for the remainder of sda. JFS used for all partitions. Volume group named rootvg, all JFS volumes named lvroot, lvusr etc. Boot goes well until: "Setting up logical volume management:" There it stops and hangs indefinitely. CTRL-C several times later I am able to login, and LVM is not working properly. Filesystems listed as mounted, but not really there. Only lvroot mounted on / as well as /boot and /dev/shm. mount -a fails. Investigated status of /dev devices. Could only find /dev/rootvg/lvroot there, all others missing. Ran lvm vgmknodes. mount -a runs but doesn't do anything useful. All filesystems listed as mounted, but they are all from the root volume. Unmount all filesystems, then ran mount -a. All filesystems appear and look ok. The system behaves the same way everytime rebooted. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.00.08 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Restart system Actual Results: System restarts but then hangs. Expected Results: System completes startup successfully. Additional info:
Eventually X tries to start up but that doesn't work properly either.
Have you tried with lvm2-2.00.08-5? That should include code to prevent lvm2 from trying to scan for logical volumes on non-existent devices during boot.
No I haven't, is that package available from some place for the latest test image?
Yes, it is in rawhide, at ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development
Problem solved in latest lvm2 package...
