Description of problem: The kernel line of my grub.conf changed at memtest update with using latest mkinitrd, because showlabels disappeared: --- /etc/grub.conf.rsc 2005-12-24 14:44:50.000000000 +0100 +++ /etc/grub.conf 2006-02-11 18:38:30.000000000 +0100 @@ -16,4 +16,4 @@ initrd /initrd-2.6.14-2smp.img title Memtest86+ (1.65) root (hd0,0) - kernel /memtest86+-1.65 ro root=LABEL=/ + kernel /memtest86+-1.65 ro root=/dev/cciss/c0d0p2 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mkinitrd-5.0.21-1 How reproducible: echo "showlabels" | /sbin/nash --force --quiet Actual results: No showlabels, but /sbin/new-kernel-pkg and /sbin/new-memtest-pkg are using the command... Expected results: I dunno what's the best solution for, but a fix for getting working label support again would be nice ;-) Additional info: [19:00:20] < rsc> pjones: is there a special reason for removing "showlabels" command from nash in mkinitrd, but leaving it in /sbin/new-kernel-pkg and /sbin/ new-memtest-pkg? [19:01:43] < pjones> rsc: eeek, an awful oversight [19:01:46] < rsc> pjones: is LABEL getting obsolete for mkinitrd? [19:02:08] < rsc> pjones: btw, man page also contains showlabels ;) [19:02:34] < pjones> no. [19:02:45] < pjones> yeah, the man page is horribly wrong about many things. [19:03:55] < rsc> is the following change correct? [19:03:55] < rsc> - kernel /memtest86+-1.65 ro root=LABEL=/ [19:03:55] < rsc> + kernel /memtest86+-1.65 ro root=/dev/cciss/c0d0p2 [19:04:06] < pjones> hrm. show labels should actually be easy to put back now. [19:04:22] < rsc> while updating from mkinitrd .17 to .21 [19:04:28] < pjones> rsc: change to... grub.conf ? [19:04:33] < rsc> yes [19:04:47] < pjones> it should work, but then both ways should work. [19:05:08] * pjones wonders if libblkid needs to be fixed to grok cciss/sx8/etc- style paths. [19:05:51] < rsc> pjones: should I open a bug report? [19:05:58] < pjones> yes. [19:06:00] < pjones> thank you ;) [19:06:23] < rsc> pjones: against what? mkinitrd or e2fsprogs? [19:06:53] < pjones> mkinitrd will be fine [19:07:10] * pjones will most likely get to fix it either way ;) [19:10:34] < pjones> rsc: you don't happen to know off the top of your head when showlabels dissapeared, do you? [19:11:35] < pjones> nm, found it. [19:12:43] < rsc> pjones: .17 to .21
