+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #642557 +++ Description of problem: I initially saw this doing a full CD-based i386 install, selecting all packages. I was then able to replicate it with an i386 CD text install (requiring CDs 1 and 2), but not with an x86_64 CD text install (requiring only CD 1). The problem also does not show with an i386 DVD text install. The common thread seems to be whether more than one disc is used during install. I haven't tried a default x86_64 CD install yet. When attempting to boot after the install, the messages No root device found Boot has failed, sleeping forever. are displayed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): F14 Final TC1 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Do a local (non-network) install requiring more than one CD. 2. Reboot afterwards. Actual results: No root device found Boot has failed, sleeping forever. Expected results: Should boot normally. Additional info: At the end of install.log for an i386 DVD text install, I see the messages Installing plymouth-scripts-0.8.4-0.20100823.4.fc14.i686 Installing plymouth-0.8.4-0.20100823.4.fc14.i686 Need 'inst' function, try setting PLYMOUTH_POPULATE_SOURCE_FUNCTIONS to a file that defines it Installing dracut-006-2.fc14.noarch Installing kernel-PAE-2.6.35.6-39.fc14.i686 W: Cannot load dracut module "plymouth", dependencies failed. *** FINISHED INSTALLING PACKAGES *** Similar messages appear in x86_64. Could this be related? <snip> --- Additional comment from harald on 2010-10-13 07:26:06 EDT --- no cryptsetup-luks .. hmm.. I might have to put it in the dracut requirements again. --- Additional comment from harald on 2010-10-13 07:55:05 EDT --- This patch is needed for dracut: http://dracut.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=dracut/dracut;a=commitdiff;h=5cae1fe179faea815e5adcca71645367829aee01
dracut-006-3.fc14 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 14. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/dracut-006-3.fc14
dracut-006-3.fc14 has been pushed to the Fedora 14 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update dracut'. You can provide feedback for this update here: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/dracut-006-3.fc14
If I tell yum to remove cryptsetup-luks, it does NOT try to remove dracut as well. Am I understanding correctly? dracut-006-3.fc14.noarch cryptsetup-luks-1.1.3-1.fc14.x86_64
What the patch does, I believe, is make dracut not fail if cryptsetup isn't available. Previously it would try to do crypt anyway, if I'm reading the patch right. It should still be possible to have dracut without cryptsetup.
