Description of problem: or making use of clvmd one needs to change lvm.conf to include locking_type = 2 locking_library = "/usr/lib64/liblvm2clusterlock.so" kernels installed later will mkinitrd with this config file which will make the kernel panic. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.01.09-5.0.RHEL4 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.See above 2. 3. Actual results: kernel panic on reboot Expected results: Additional info: lvm in initrd is statically linked but the cluster locking mechanisms are dynamically loaded even so. The initrd should contain a different version of lvm.conf than the filesystem.
The initrd was broken due to bad udev/qla2300 interaction, sorry for the noise ...
