Description of problem: if you try to boot from one of the new 2.6.25 fc9 kernels it doesn't detect any LVM disks so failed to boot .. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): i tried : kernel-2.6.25-0.40.rc1.git2.fc9 kernel-2.6.25-0.35.rc1.fc9 kernel-2.6.25-0.34.rc1.fc9 as well as kernel-2.6.25-0.33.rc1.fc9 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install f8 2.update to the latest codes levels 3.install one of the above kernels .. and try to boot Actual results: doesn't find any VG, or LV so it fails to find root Expected results: should boot up Additional info:
It was suggested that I update lvm2 from Rawhide, so I did: yum --enablerepo=development update lvm2 This updated lvm2 and device-mapper: lvm2-2.02.33-9.fc9 device-mapper-1.02.24-9.fc9 However, I still get the same results described by the OP.
OK, this seemed to do it: yum --enablerepo=development update mkinitrd Afterwards you'll need to re-run mkinitrd for the 2.6.25 kernels installed (or use yum or rpm to uninstall and reinstall them). Does that resolve things for you?
yes, this Problem is now sloved .. now the kernel oopses as soon as i enter init 5 but this is definitive a different problem and i open a new bug :-)
