RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Mike Burns 2010-08-17 18:46:09 UTC 
Description of problem:
After installation, the machine reboots, but fails to find the root device.

The issues occurs on device-mapper-multipath devices.  It does not occur with virtio devices.  I don't have a machine to test on plain device-mapper devices

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEV-H 6.0-11

How reproducible:
Always on multipath devices

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install RHEV-H on multipath host
2.reboot
3.
  
Actual results:
Dracut can't find root device

Expected results:
Boots successfully

Comment 2 Mike Burns 2010-08-18 03:59:09 UTC 
For clarification, issue is that a bunch of scsi drivers were missing from initrd image.  Patch adds those images in.

scsi drivers are loaded , and for exact local SATA disk 
[root@localhost 0000:00:11.0]# readlink driver 
 ../../../bus/pci/drivers/ahci
Comment 9 Vivian Bian 2010-08-20 13:56:42 UTC 
and for drives on VMs (virtio qemu qcow2 image)
[root@rhevh6 virtio0]# readlink driver 
../../../bus/virtio/drivers/virtio_blk

With virtio qcow2 image, could install RHEVH and boot into the os successfully . No "can't find root device " issue . 

So set bug status to VERIFIED
