Description Pierre Juhen 2006-11-17 19:43:59 UTC
Description of problem:

Kernel 2.6.18-2239 doesn't boot on my machine. Previous was kernel 2200.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

2.6.18-2239

How reproducible:

Just try to boot on kernel

  
Actual results:

Seems not finding the raid+lvm2 root filesystem.
So pivotroot fails
Maybe a problem with via / sata

Additional info :
I have an ASUS A8V mobo, and uses the via/sata raid.

Thank you,

Comment 1 Pierre Juhen 2006-11-17 20:20:25 UTC
Precision :

/boot is on a simple ext3 partition (mirrored).

/ is in a LVM volume.



Comment 2 shrek-m 2006-11-20 13:20:42 UTC
the last booting kernel is 2187
with the 22* the kernel panics, no ext3-fs found

neither 2200 nor 2239 was bootable, they can not find the raid1|5-devices

i guess that the raid456.ko is the problem and the raid5.ko was ok

Comment 4 Pierre Juhen 2006-11-20 19:49:31 UTC
I have no problem with kernel 2200.

And I use only raid0 and raid1.

[...]# lsmod | grep raid
raid0                  41153  1
raid1                  58049  2
