Description of problem: The iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.870-13.fc13 package included in Fedora 13 does not work for iSCSI root installs. It fails to boot post-install, and it was determined that the iscsistart command was failing. Repeating the test, using a scratch build [1] works fine. Can iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.872-3 be built for Fedora 13 please? [1] http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2165057
Hans, I got this one. The iscsi scripts in F13 are newer than RHEL 6 right?
(In reply to comment #1) > Hans, I got this one. > Ok. > The iscsi scripts in F13 are newer than RHEL 6 right? Not entirely, they are identical except that the RHEL-6 iscsid.init script has some stuff related to the partial offload cards (some modprobes and rmmods), and seems to not kill iscsid ?
it's iscsistart in dracut, what is failing
I think I can replicate this here. I get a: iscsistart: Logging into iqn.2008-09.com.max:tgtd 20.15.0.7:3260,1 iscsistart: can not connect to iSCSI daemon (111)! iscsistart: initiator reported error (18 - could not communicate to iscsid) iscsistart: can not connect to iSCSI daemon (111)! iscsistart: initiator reported error (18 - could not communicate to iscsid) iscsistart: Could not stop event_loop This is fixed in iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.872-3.fc13.

Hi, 1. I tried to install fedora 13 (32bits) on iscsi target and it get successfully installed. But when I tried to boot it, it gives me error "no root devices found" 2. After lots of search I found Bugzilla issue same as above. And they advised to enable the Fedora 13 Updates while installing Fedora 13, but it gives error as following: "Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora Updates" 3. To resolve this problem I installed the "rpmfusion" repository while installing Fedora 13. And then updated all package lists and installed all packages related to "iscsi" and pkg version is "iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.872-4.fc13". Everything was well. But When I tried to boot the same it gives me same error i.e. "no root device found" Anybody help me out what went wrong???
