RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Doug Chapman 2008-03-13 18:08:30 UTC
Description of problem:
I have seen this on ia64 and x86_64 with recent rawhide trees (20080312 since
0313 appears to be bad).  Both systems are using cciss for the root filesystem
so that might be related however I also don't see any other hardware specific
device drivers so I dont' think it is just cciss.

The install proceedes as expected but fails to mount root on the first boot.

I booted rescue mode and manually ran mkinitrd with -v and saved the output.  I
will attach this.  Odd thing is I _do_ see "Looking for driver for device
cciss/c0d0p2" however it still does not include the cciss.ko module.

Created attachment 297962 [details]
output from mkinitrd -v

Comment 2 Doug Chapman 2008-03-13 18:21:34 UTC
Might not be mkinitrd's issue.  I noticed there was no /etc/modprobe.conf.  I
manually created it and it then pulls in the modules to initrd.img.

What component creates /etc/modprobe.conf at install time?  Is that done by
anaconda or something that anaconda calls?



Comment 3 Doug Chapman 2008-03-14 17:15:28 UTC
Appears to be sane with today's ia64 build closing this.
