Description Michael Breuer 2010-01-31 16:47:49 UTC
Description of problem:
Unable to boot unattended with dracut-004-4.fc12

Boot always stops with:

WARNING!!!  Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause
SEVERE filesystem damage.

Do you really want to continue (y/n)? no

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

dracut-004-4.fc12
How reproducible:

100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade to dracut-004-4.fc12 & reboot
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
See above.

Expected results:
System boots w/o intervention required.

Additional info:

Suspected the recent dracut upgrade. Downgraded to 2-13.4.git8f397a9b.fc12 and rebuilt initramfs to confirm that the issue is with the recent (Jan 30) dracut upgrade.

Notes:
1) This was following a clean reboot - clean filesystems.
2) Running lvm on raid6 (root filesystem).
3) Kernel 2.6.32.7 (kernel.org/git).
4) Used new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --mkinitrd --dracut --depmod <version> to build. 
5) /boot/grub/menu.1st entry: kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.32.7MMAPDMARAF3SKY2DMARROUNDINGDMADEBUG-00912-g914160d-dirty ro root=/dev/mapper/vg_00-LogVol02_root usbcore.autosuspend=1 crashkernel=128M SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 LANG=en_US.UTF-8 KEYTABLE=us pcie_aspm=force intel_iommu=igfx_off debug dma_debug=off

Marking this urgent as unattended (re)boot is rather important. Downgrade if there's something unique to my config... but I'm guessing as people start rebuilding kernels with the new dracut there's going to be some pain out there.

Comment 1 Harald Hoyer 2010-02-01 13:06:35 UTC
I need more info.

- install the new dracut
- add "rdinfo 1" to the kernel command line. 
- please attach the output of (might also be a camera screenshot):
# dmesg | grep dracut

- attach /etc/fstab

Comment 2 Harald Hoyer 2010-02-01 13:11:09 UTC
btw, you are the only person, which reports this issue.

Attached requested info. If it helps, here's the start of /var/log/boot.log:

check aborted.

Rest of boot (after answering the question) is normal.

Comment 6 Harald Hoyer 2010-02-03 09:24:28 UTC
Didn't think of /etc/fstab containing "rw" as an option.
Either 
- remove "rw" in fstab for the root device and rebuild the initramfs, or
- add "rd_NO_FSTAB" to the kernel command line
until I have fixed this.

Comment 7 Michael Breuer 2010-02-03 16:05:24 UTC
Ok, thanks. FWIW, my fstab was built originally by the F11 installer.
