Description of problem: I have upgraded from fc6 with the anaconda installer. The fstab use /boot label for boot partition, and a LVM VolGroup is mounted on / . When I try to boot with kernel-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7, I get a kernel panic because kernel is unable to mount root filesystem. I get these messages : device-mapper : table : 253 : 0 : striped : Couldn't parse stripe destination device-mapper : reload ioctl failed : No such device or address No Volume groups found The systems boot on /dev/sdc, which contains a ntfs partition. I get the messages above when I boot directly on the disc containing the /boot partition, and unpluging the disc containing the ntfs partition. When I boot on /dev/sdc, I get some other errors : /dev/sdc2 : read failed after 0 of 512 at 429499351040 : Input/output error /dev/sdc3 : read failed after 0 of 512 at 510228328 : Input/output error And many other like this. There is no sdc2 or sdc3 partitions. Plus the previous errors. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.LVM VolGroup on three partitions, two are on a RAID 0 SATA volume and one on an ATA disc. 2.boot with kernel-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 3. Actual results: Unable to initialize LVM VolGroup. Expected results: Initialization of LVM VolGroup. Additional info: I think the problem isn't caused by the upgrade, because as said in the release notes, all the partitions have been labeled or on a LVM VolGroup.

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 and will try and assist you in resolving it if I can. There hasn't been much activity on this bug for a while. Could you tell me if you are still having problems with the latest kernel? If the problem no longer exists then please close this bug or I'll do so in a few days if there is no additional information lodged. Cheers Chris
I am sorry but I have installed another distro since the problem wasn't resolved, so I can not help you to resolve the bug. Should I close it ?

Thanks for filing the bug anyway. I will close as leaving it open will generate more requests for info which you will obviously be unable to provide. Cheers Chris
