From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: After upgrading kernel from 2.6.7-1.494.2.2 to 2.6.9-1.6, software linear raid array made on hdc2+hdd1 hangs the system when starting. Kernel panics. With 2.6.7-1.494.2.2 it works fine. I tried to change the partition type to 0xFD to let the kernel start the array but it does not work (neither in 2.6.7 nor in 2.6.9), reporting: md: Autodetecting RAID arrays. md: autorun ... md: considering hdd1 ... md: adding hdd1 ... md: adding hdc2 ... md: created md0 md: bind<hdc2> md: bind<hdd1> md: running: <hdd1><hdc2> md: personality 1 is not loaded! md :do_md_run() returned -22 md: md0 stopped. md: unbind<hdd1> md: export_rdev(hdd1) md: unbind<hdc2> md: export_rdev(hdc2) md: ... autorun DONE. Only user-space "raidstart" (raidtools-1.00.3-8) works in 2.6.7 (panics in 2.6.9). The machine is a dual Athlon MP 2000+, MSI K7D Master motherboard, 3GB RAM, three IDE HDDs (40GB system disk hda, 2x200GB for the data raid array hdc+hdd). /etc/raidtab contains: raiddev /dev/md0 raid-level linear nr-raid-disks 2 persistent-superblock 1 chunk-size 32 device /dev/hdc2 raid-disk 0 device /dev/hdd1 raid-disk 1 I tried both smp and up 2.6.9 kernel, same result. regards, Michal. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.9-1.6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.choose 2.6.9 kernel in GRUB 2.boot 3. Actual Results: kernel panics when starting the raid array Expected Results: system should boot up cleanly :) Additional info:
Fedora Core 2 has now reached end of life, and no further updates will be provided by Red Hat. The Fedora legacy project will be producing further kernel updates for security problems only. If this bug has not been fixed in the latest Fedora Core 2 update kernel, please try to reproduce it under Fedora Core 3, and reopen if necessary, changing the product version accordingly. Thank you.
