With gawk-3.1.4-1, mkinitrd doesn't (reliably) find the jbd module as a dependency of ext3. Downgrading to 3.1.3-9 or setting GAWK_NO_DFA=1 works around. For now, moved 3.1.4-1 out of dist-fc3 (to -scratch)
Oh nice, you moved my package?

It clearly depends of the modules.dep size. If the file is small then awk 3.1.4 works fine. # grep ext3 modules.dep >m.dep # ./awk -f test.awk m.dep ext3 jbd # ./awk -f test.awk modules.dep ext3 # ./awk --version | head -1 GNU Awk 3.1.4 # awk -f test.awk modules.dep ext3 jbd # awk --version | head -1 GNU Awk 3.1.3# wc modules.dep m.dep 1051 2967 177910 modules.dep 1 2 95 m.dep
Debian seems to have the same bug filed with some commentary and a possible fix (but yea, it's something that should probably be handled upstream and a post-FC3 thing in any case) http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=266519
This is bug in dfa.c, fixed by patch from Aharon Robbins. It will fixed in FC4. The mkinitrd stuff was fixed and works with this path. You can try test it with package and tests from: http://people.redhat.com/kzak/gawk/
Fixed in gawk-3.1.4-4 [FC-4].
