Description of problem: I'm trying to update kernel on my system that runs on SATA RAID-1 array. Because of this I use 'full syntax' (device name in front of filename) in grub.conf: title Fedora Core (2.4.22-1.2174.nptl) (hd1) root (hd1,0) kernel (hd1,0)/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2174.nptl ro root=/dev/md0 hdb=ide-scsi initrd (hd1,0)/boot/initrd-2.4.22-1.2174.nptl.raid1.img My initrd is result of: mkinitrd \ --preload=scsi_mod \ --preload=sd_mod \ --preload=libata \ --preload=sata_via \ --preload=ide-scsi \ --preload=raid1 \ --preload=jbd \ --preload=ext3 \ ${Image} ${Kernel} Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mkinitrd-3.5.14-1 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora Core 1 on SATA RAID-1 2. Use 'full device name' syntax in grub.conf (eg., '(hd1,0)' in front of filename 3. Try to update kernel Actual results: Up2date new loads kernel and installs all the files, but fails to update grub.conf Expected results: Up2date should be able to update grub.conf. I agree it will miss 'full device name' syntax and I will simply add missing parts to grub.conf later. Additional info: I would like to see some sort of solution for RAID-1 and SATA right out of the box. So, I do not need to run mkinitrd myself and confuse some of the programs. I agree that it makes initrd almost 2 times bigger for no reason for most of installations. But what is additional 100k in RAM in these days? Best regards, Boris
Should be fixed in 4.0.2
Fedora Core 1 is maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thanks! NOTE: Fedora Core 1 is reaching the final end of support even by the Legacy project. After Fedora Core 6 Test 2 is released (currently scheduled for July 26th), there will be no more security updates for FC1. Please use these next two weeks to upgrade any remaining FC1 systems to a current release.
Closing per lack of response. Also note that FC1 and FC2 are no longer supported even by Fedora Legacy. If this still occurs on FC3 or FC4, please assign to that version and Fedora Legacy. If it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please reopen and assign to the correct version. Should be fixed, though.
