Description of problem: Upgraded a copy of F10 to F11 using x86_64 DVD. Installation was successful. Any attempt to boot using the F11 kernel hangs following this message (I did not see any nash messages): --------------------------------------------------- aid5: device sdc5 operational as raid disk 0 raid5: device sdb5 operational as raid disk 2 raid5: device sda5 operational as raid disk 1 raid5: allocated 3226kB for md1 raid5: raid level 5 set md1 active with 3 out of 3 devices, algorithm 2. RAID5 conf printout: --- rd:3 wd:3 disk 0, o:1, dev:sdc5 disk 1, o:1, dev:sda5 disk 1, o:1, dev:sdb5 md1: unknown partition table --------------------------------------------------- The installation DVD's resume boot just fine and Anaconda has no problem identifying and mounting the MD/LVM/partitions. Switching back to Fedora 10 works just fine. May, or may not be related to bug #505433. (I don't have any active LVM snapshots) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.29.4-167.fc11.x86_64 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a software RAID5 MD device. 2. Create an LVM device on top of the MD device without a partition table. 3. Install F11. Actual results: Boot failure. Expected results: Boot...

How long did you let it sit before deciding it was never going to finish booting?
Around 15 minutes. Should I retest and give it more time? - Gilboa
I decided to install F11 and it works just fine. Sadly enough, I didn't snapshot the original preupgrade F11 partition. (As I didn't really expect the new installation to work.) Broken mkinitrd in preupgrade? - Gilboa
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '11'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
