Description Marco Pesenti Gritti 2009-02-07 13:29:57 UTC 
On Fedora 10, provided that cafe_nand and jffs2 modules are included, we can build a functional initrd to boot from the OLPC nand. This was regressed in rawhide by this commit:

http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=mkinitrd;a=commit;h=24d6d9779ca5bacc0c649e9d783263661ceb81f0

We run vol_id on /dev/root, which in the mtd0 case does not exist, and we die.
Comment 1 Jeremy Katz 2009-02-10 19:13:03 UTC 
Fixed in git, will build a new mkinitrd shortly

Thanks for tracking this down!
Comment 3 Scott Douglass 2009-03-17 02:36:01 UTC 
This issue is not fixed in rawhide on XO.

Installing any kernel RPM yields an initrd that can't boot because "mtd0 is not a block device, skipping".

mkinitrd-6.0.80-1.fc11.i586
Comment 4 Bug Zapper 2009-06-09 11:07:07 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle.
Changing version to '11'.
