LTC Owner is: thinh.com LTC Originator is: barnetr.com Problem description: I initiated an install for "Fedora-development tree (aka rawhide), snapshot May1" onto a VIO client which is an SF4+ partition. The VIO server is latonalp1 and I installed latonalp2 over the network, using a VNC configuration so that I could activate a VNC viewer on my laptop. The requirement was for a swRAID install, so I created a swRAID (/dev/md0) with 20000 blocks on both sda and sdb, with the Prep Boot and swap devices on sdf. The install ran clean to the point where it prompted me to reboot. Upon reboot, the vterm on the attached HMC was showing the following: /pci@800000020000004/pci@2,4/pci1069,bl66@l/scsi@0/sd@d,0:-1,/etc/yaboot.conf: Unknown or corrupt filesystem Can't open config file Welcome to yaboot version 1.3.13 (Red Hat 1.3.13-0.18) Enter "help: to get some basic usage information Default supplied on the command line: vnc boot: If I press Enter at this stage, I get the following: can't get <device_type> for device: Please wait, loading kernel... can't get <device_type> for device: :-l,/vmlinux: Unable to open file, Invalid device boot: I have been able to re-initiate the network install and select "Update" instead of "New Installation" and it completes in a matter of seconds saying that everything is successfully updated, then the partition reboots back to the same error messages. The HMC attached to this system is sqh6lte.upt.austin.ibm.com with the usual hscroot/abc123 password information, so feel free to take a look as you feel appropriate. Hardware Environment Machine type (p650, x235, SF2, etc.): SF4+ Cpu type (Power4, Power5, IA-64, etc.): PPC-64 Is this reproducible? Yes. If so, how long does it (did it) take to reproduce it? Install takes about 10- 15 minutes. Is the system (not just the application) hung? Yes. If so, describe how you determined this: Hangs on reboot with above errors. Did the system produce an OOPS message on the console? No. Is the system sitting in a debugger right now? No. I have now seen the same problem on a Squadrons HV4 partition (mithraslp1). This time I defined the swRAID (/dev/md0) on disks sdc and sdd, with the Boot and Swap devices also on the sdd disk. It installed cleanly and prompted me to reboot, the system stops at the boot: prompt indicating that a filesystem is unknown or corrupt. As I have now seen this on multiple systems, I am increasing the priority to P1 and the severity to High. Call me in the lab on 8-8810 or send me a message if you have any questions or need more information.
Please file bugs against the devel tree properly instead of filing them against FC5. This looks like something in yaboot's raid handling has gone wonky

----- Additional Comments From liyuanly.com 2006-09-25 01:50 EDT ------- Since both of the mentioned systems are hold for other bugs, I tested fc6-test3 on other system. The system has 3 disks, sda is occupied with RHEL5, so I used sdb and sdc for swraid.

----- Additional Comments From kumarr.com (prefers email at kumarr.com) 2006-09-28 17:48 EDT ------- Attention Redhat, I am rejecting this bug on the IBM side, since this is a dup of RH Bugzilla bug 206453. We believe the fix for RH Bugzilla bug 206453 will fix the issue raised here in RH Bug 192129. Please let us know if you have any questions.
