The root file system on vestalp3 resides on LVM, and the one on paytonlp1 resides on swRAID1. During each bootstrap, the system keeped asking use to check the root file system or not. Whatever(y/n) I selected, it keeped asking in next bootstrap. fs check on vestalp3 ------------------------------- Checking all file systems. [/sbin/fsck.ext3 (1) -- /] fsck.ext3 -a /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 is mounted. WARNING!!! Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause SEVERE filesystem damage. Do you really want to continue (y/n)? ------------------------------- fs check on paytonlp1 ---------------------------------------- Checking all file systems. [/sbin/fsck.ext3 (1) -- /] fsck.ext3 -a /dev/md0 /dev/md0 is mounted. WARNING!!! Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause SEVERE filesystem damage. Do you really want to continue (y/n)? ----------------------------------- Hardware Environment Machine type (p650, x235, SF2, etc.): 9113-550 Cpu type (Power4, Power5, IA-64, etc.): Power5 [root@paytonlp1 ~]# uname -a Linux paytonlp1.upt.austin.ibm.com 2.6.16-1.2181_FC6 #1 SMP Sun Apr 30 23:03:19 EDT 2006 ppc64 ppc64 ppc64 GNU/Linux Is this reproducible? If so, how long does it (did it) take to reproduce it? Describe the steps: 1. install FC5, the root file system resides on LVM or swRAID 2. after the installation succeeds, reboot the system and you will see the problem Additional information: I tried to format root file system as ext2 and ext3, but met the same problem during bootstrap.
