Description Alan Pevec 2008-11-18 14:46:24 UTC
Description of problem:
After kernel-2.6.27.5-37.fc9 hit F9 updates, initramfs fails on missing loop kmod (builtin now)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.27.5-37.fc9.x86_64
mkinitrd-6.0.52-2.fc9.x86_64

How reproducible:
always with F9 updates-newkey repo

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run livecd-creator with a kickstart config which uses repo=updates-released-f9.newkey
2. boot resulting ISO
3.

Actual results:
initramfs errors out: http://apevec.fedorapeople.org/whereismyloop.png

Expected results:
livecd finishes boot normally

Additional info:
upstream mkliveinitrd fix http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=mkinitrd;a=commitdiff;h=859493878a1916b86fecea3892e441e1894ccb10

Ugh -- Chuck, are we really pushing back all the module vs built-in changes to F9?  If so, we're going to end up needing to figure out more than just this mkinitrd bit to backport :(

Right, F9 userspace assumes kmods in few more places:

ignore that, it was oVirt Node image minimization which killed net/802

From brief IRC discussion with Chuck, we shouldn't have had the modular->built-in changes in F9.  So over to kernel

Comment 6 Chuck Ebbert 2008-11-19 18:16:29 UTC
Changed loop driver back to modular in 2.6.27.6-46.

On the missing stp.ko driver: I have one in my install. And the manifest for the RPM shows there's one too. Did you delete it somehow?

Yeah, see comment #3 - I've fixed our blacklist
