broken initrd ? Peter ?
Dave, you are correct! The problem was on the initrd image. kernel 2.6.17-1.2336.fc6 gave me the same problem as the 2396 one, but kernel 2.6.16-1.2289-FC6 worked, so I decided to look for the raid5 personality modules. Guess what? The name of the modules changed after kernel 2.6.16-1.2289! In that kernel, each personality has its own module and in the subsequent kernels, personalities 4, 5 and 6 are bundled up in one module. using mkinitrd --with=raid456 <image file> 2.6.17-1.2396.fc6 and changing the grub.conf file fixed the problem, but now smartd, acpi and some other services don't start correctly and fail to stop.
forgot to mention my hd config: md0 100mb raid1 comprised of hda1, hdb1 with hdc1 as hotspare md1 3gb raid0 comprised of hda2, hdb2, hdc2 md2 500gb raid5 comprised of hda3, hdb3, hdc3
Hello, I'm reviewing this bug as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to isolate current bugs in the Fedora kernel. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage I am CC'ing myself to this bug, however this version of Fedora is no longer maintained. Please attempt to reproduce this bug with a current version of Fedora (presently Fedora 8). If the bug no longer exists, please close the bug or I'll do so in a few days if there is no further information lodged. Thanks for using Fedora!
