Description of problem: Upgrading the kernel on a Fedora 10 system using an encrypted xfs root logical volume (/) causes the system to not boot, reverting to the previous kernel allows the system to boot correctly. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 10 How reproducible: Have experienced on F10 preview as well as current F10 release Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot Fedora 10 i386 DVD 2. select encrypted system at install time and change the root logical volume (/) to xfs. 3. Boot Fedora 10 normally and upgrade the kernel 4. reboot and you will receive a message similar to "error mounting /dev/root on /sysroot as xfs" Actual results: "error mounting /dev/root on /sysroot as xfs" Expected results: Boot into F10 with newly upgraded kernel. Additional info: Can be manually fixed in the following way 1.Reboot into previous kernel and run a command similar to: mkinitrd -f -v /boot/initrd-2.6.27.7-134.fc10.i686.img 2.6.27.7-134.fc10.i686 2.Reboot again and select the newest kernel, the system will now boot correctly using the encrypted xfs partition.
Is this still occurring with current kernels and initrds?
I am no longer running xfs so I cannot verify, sorry. Ext4 encrypted root partition works fine though.
