Description of problem: Diskless boot stops because of NFS module Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-netboot Version : 0.1.45.4 Révision : 5.fc11 How reproducible: very reproductible Steps to Reproduce: 1. use system-config-netboot to create an node kernel image for diskless machine 2. try to boot the diskless PC 3. Distant boot is uncomplete because NFS module can't be loaded Actual results: Boot is uncomplete for the diskless PC, init 3 is not reached Expected results: Boot until init 3 Additional info: SOLUTION IN ATTACH FILE : updateDikless There is just one modification (adding kernel/fs/nfs_common kernel/fs/fscache in line 203).You can do it in replacing updateDikless by the attached file or in replacing the former line 203 of updateDiskless by : for d in kernel/drivers/net kernel/fs/nfs kernel/fs/nfs_common kernel/fs/fscache kernel/fs/lockd kernel/net/sunrpc kernel/net/ipv6 kernel/crypto;
I can confirm the same behavior. It appears updateDiskless is not properly parsing modules.dep when determining the kernel module dependencies. modules.dep contains the following line: kernel/fs/nfs/nfs.ko: kernel/fs/lockd/lockd.ko kernel/fs/fscache/fscache.ko kernel/fs/nfs_common/nfs_acl.ko kernel/net/sunrpc/auth_gss/auth_rpcgss.ko kernel/net/sunrpc/sunrpc.ko You would think the procedure moddeps() would properly add fscache, nfs_acl and auto_rpcgss to initrd, but it does not. I have not yet had a chance to run updateDiskless with "set -x" to determine where the problem lies.
Created attachment 360597 [details] Properly finds module dependencies on F11 i386 The attached patch to the moddeps() function fixes the problem for me. The generated initrd.img contains nfs_acl.ko, fscache.ko and other modules which were needed but missing in order to NFS-boot Fedora 11 i386 with the latest 2.6.30.x kernel.
Thanks for report, I'll check it asap but I'm out of the office right now as we have Developers Conference this week. Thanks For Your Patience.
Confirming that patch works.
But, at the same time, patch breaks images built for RHEL/CentOS...
I've seen no action on this bug since it was opened back in September. Could Jaroslav at least accept the bug and get it out of the NEW state please?
Sorry, I was quite busy and s-c-netboot is unfortunately low priority package :( I didn't commit the patch before checking, looks like more work is needed.
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.
