From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040805 Netscape/7.2 Description of problem: I installed FC4 on my dual Xeon computer. It runs fine. I compiled the FC4 kernel source using the config-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp. The the compiled FC4 kernel won't boot. It panics. I suspect the problem is one or more of the following: 1) The config-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp file is not the one used to build the kernel. 2) The FC4 compiler, gcc 4.0.0, is not the compiler used to build the kernel. 3) The wrong headers are being used to build the kernel. In any case, the kernel panics with the following messages: insmod: error inserting /lib/jbd.ko: -1 Invalid module format ERROR: /bin/insmod exited abnormally with value 1 ! (pid 436) insmod: error inserting /lib/ext3.ko: -1 Invalid module format ERROR: /bin/insmod exited abnormally with value 1 ! (pid 437) Unable to find device-mapper major-minor Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while... Found volume grou[ "VolGroup00" using metadatatype lvm2 /proc/misc: No entry for device-mapper found Is device mapper missing from kernel? Failure to communicate with kernel device-mapper driver. 0 logical volume(s) in volume group "VolGroup00" now active mount: error 19 mounting ext3 ERROR opening /dev/console!!!!: 2 error dup2'ing fd of 0 to 0 error dup2'ing fd of 0 to 1 error dup2'ing fd of 0 to 2 switchroot: mount failed: 22 Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! The problems all start with insmod griping about the module formats. Once the ext3 module fails, everything is hosed. The were no errors during the build. There were warnings during "make" but not about ext3. There were no warnings during "make modules_install." Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.cp FC4 kernel SRPM to /usr/src/redhat/SRPMS. 2.rpmbuild -bi --target i686-redhat-linux (SPEC only supports i486, i586, i686. Nothing gets installed so you have to go to steps 3 and 4. 3.cd ../BUILD/kernel-2.6.11/linux-2.6.11 and "make", "make install", "make modules_install" 4.reboot Actual Results: insmod: error inserting /lib/jbd.ko: -1 Invalid module format ERROR: /bin/insmod exited abnormally with value 1 !

Expected Results: login prompt Additional info:
I forgot to add that for the first build I used the .config the came with the SRPM, which panicked. For the second build I first executed a "make mrproper" and "make xconfig". That also panicked. For my third build I executed a "make mrproper" and copied /boot/config-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp, supposedly the config for the running kernel, to /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.11/linux-2.6.11. I thought that should work. It panicks just like the others.
The problem is not the compiler. Here is the information on the jbd and ext3 modules for the running kernel and the panicking kernel. They were all compiled with gcc 4.0. ganymede:root: modinfo jbd filename: /lib/modules/2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp/kernel/fs/jbd/jbd.ko license: GPL vermagic: 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp SMP 686 REGPARM 4KSTACKS gcc-4.0 depends: srcversion: 9BF9D55C8C58653881E7651 ganymede:root: modinfo ./jbd.ko filename: ./jbd.ko license: GPL vermagic: 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.rootxenU SMP 686 REGPARM 4KSTACKS gcc-4.0 depends: srcversion: 9BF9D55C8C58653881E7651 ganymede:root: modinfo ext3 filename: /lib/modules/2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp/kernel/fs/ext3/ext3.ko author: Remy Card, Stephen Tweedie, Andrew Morton, Andreas Dilger, Theodore Ts'o and others description: Second Extended Filesystem with journaling extensions license: GPL vermagic: 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp SMP 686 REGPARM 4KSTACKS gcc-4.0 depends: jbd srcversion: 89DA5C1B28ED7CFDF420E49 ganymede:root: modinfo ./ext3.ko filename: ./ext3.ko author: Remy Card, Stephen Tweedie, Andrew Morton, Andreas Dilger, Theodore Ts'o and others description: Second Extended Filesystem with journaling extensions license: GPL vermagic: 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.rootxenU SMP 686 REGPARM 4KSTACKS gcc-4.0 depends: jbd srcversion: 89DA5C1B28ED7CFDF420E49
