From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5 Description of problem: I'm trying to install FC5-devel on a Nforce4 Raid (Motherboard: ASUS K8N-SLI). The installation of FC5 works fine (partitioning and formating partitions beside windows partitions. I've testet nearly everything). After copying all files of FC5 the installation goes on with the final bootprocess. And now the problem. Grub loads, the kernel is booting and instantly a kernel-panic appears. Unable to make device node 'nvidia_bbfgdadd' Unable to access resume device (LABEL=SWAP-nvidia-bbf) mount: could not find filesystem /dev/root setuproot: moving /dev failed: no such file or directory setuproot: moving /proc failed: no such file or directory setuproot: moving /sys failed: no such file or directory switchroot: mount failed: no such file or directory Call trace: <ffffffff801321b6 {panic+134} .... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start installation 2. Wait for Installationprocess to finish 3. Click reboot after installation Actual Results: Kernelpanic after final installationboot Expected Results: No kernelpanic ;) Additional info:
I think that FC5 depends on dmraid to use the nvidia FakeRaid.
Is there more with this trace ? The message about not being able to create the devicenode must be userspace (ie. read-only root preventing devnode creation).
I will deliver the complete tracemessage this evening. I'm currently at work right now.
1. the messages above appear after dmraid has been initialised: => device-mapper: 4.50-ioctl (2005-10-04) initialised: dm-devel 2. the following kernel-trace appears Call Trace: <ffffffff801321b6{panic+134} <ffffffff8024c6ca>{tty_ldisc_deref+104} <ffffffff8033e753>{_spin_unlock_irq+9} <ffffffff8033e108>{__down_read+52} <ffffffff8033e796>{_spin_lock_irqsave+9} <ffffffff80203e9e>{__up_read+19} <ffffffff80135a67>{do_exit+140} <ffffffff80136324>{sys_exit_group+0} <ffffffff8010a7aa>{system_call+126}
Another strange behaviour is when I turn acpi=off via kernel-boot parameter the following messages appear in an endless loop: nv_sata: Primary device added nv_sata: Primary device removed nv_sata: Secondary device added nv_sata: Secondary device removed This endless loop starts after the following line: ata1(0): applying bridge limits
Can you boot the rescue image, install mkinitrd-5.0.27-1 from today's rawhide, and rebuild your initrd with that? I think it'll solve this problem.
Which bootimage can I use to reinstall fedora core via network (http) to test the behaviour? This one for network install? http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/x86_64/images/boot.iso
Yesterday evening I made a quick test. I've installed Fedora Core Devel. I choose to install a minimal version and everything seems to work fine now. Think this bug has been solved.
Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now, we will automatically close it. If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again.
This bug has been in NEEDINFO for more than 30 days since feedback was first requested. As a result we are closing it. If you can reproduce this bug in the future against a maintained Fedora version please feel free to reopen it against that version.
