Description of problem:

I'm unable to install kernels with recent upstream kernels running because mkinitrd seems to be unable to find the block devices on the system:

WARNING: /sys/block/dm-0 is a not a block sysfs path, skipping

Looking at the mkinitrd source, it is checking for:

if [[ ! "$sysfs" =~ '^/sys/devices/.*/block/.*$' ]]; then
        error "WARNING: $sysfs is a not a block sysfs path, skipping"


On my upstream kernels of 2.6.29-rc3 and -rc4 (possibly others), this fails.

On older kernels, you can find:

/sys/devices/virtual/block/

but it is gone now.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

mkinitrd-6.0.77-1.fc11.x86_64
