Kernel Panic after udevstart fails to run on Athlon system
Last modified: 2015-01-04 17:10:53 EST
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041016 Firefox/0.10.1 Description of problem: Booting up on a Fedora Core 3 Test 3 system with newest packages from devel tree fails on an Athlon system. The version of udev is 038-2 and I suspect that is the cause of the failure (maybe it fails to make all the device nodes for the IDE hard disks?). The error message is (only the noteworthy lines) /sbin/udevstart exited abnormally No volume groups found mount: error 6 mounting ext 3 Kernel panic This happens for kernel-2.6.8-1.624 and not for kernel-2.6.8-1.610 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.8-1.624 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot up using kernel-2.6.8-1.624 2. 3. Actual Results: Kernel panic, does not boot Expected Results: Should boot normally Additional info:
This is regardless of the kernel -- I could reproduce this with -1.541, -1.610 and -1.624 kernels. I suspect this is rather a dupe of a recent udev bug (#136058). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 136058 ***
However, I *cannot* reproduce this with -1.610 or -1.541. In fact, my uname -a tells me [root@localhost log]# uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.8-1.610 #1 Tue Oct 12 17:32:34 EDT 2004 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux Whereas udev version is the same: [root@localhost log]# rpm -qa | grep udev udev-038-2
