Description of problem: When a volume group is present on a system, and installation from a Live CD is used to create a new volume group (with a different name), the initial ram disk image created may attempt to activate the existing logical volume instead of the new volume into which the disk image was copied. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Actually, this bug should go to "rawhide" "live cd" "installation," but none of those options were available. How reproducible: Tried it twice (using different volume group names) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have FC6 installed in, say, a "Fedora" volume group 2. Use the Live CD install option to install into a newly created VG, say "FC7." 3. Attempt to boot to the newly installed disk image Actual results: Kernel panic, "Fedora" activated instead of "FC7" Expected results: Boot to installation in FC7 volume group Additional info: 1. Editing the "nash" script to reference the correct volume group, and rebuilding the initial ram disk image fixes the problem. 2. Updating the kernel after the system is running does not cause the problem to reoccur. 3. I feel this should be a low priority problem since few users choose to have multiple volume groups on their Fedora systems, and the work-around is fairly straight-forward.
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bug was created, it appears to have been reported against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained.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.
