+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #642617 +++ +++ 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 --- Additional comment from updates on 2010-10-13 09:05:16 EDT --- dracut-006-3.fc14 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 14. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/dracut-006-3.fc14 --- Additional comment from updates on 2010-10-13 17:20:16 EDT --- dracut-006-3.fc14 has been pushed to the Fedora 14 testing repository.

Am I understanding correctly? dracut-006-3.fc14.noarch cryptsetup-luks-1.1.3-1.fc14.x86_64 --- Additional comment from jkeating on 2010-10-13 20:17:48 EDT --- 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. --- Additional comment from updates on 2010-10-19 05:03:43 EDT --- dracut-006-3.fc14 has been pushed to the Fedora 14 stable repository.

The patch used for this seems to cause further issues. When trying to install a new kernel, the following is observed: # /sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --mkinitrd --dracut --depmod --update 2.6.35.9-64.fc14.i686 W: Cannot load dracut module "plymouth", dependencies failed. # Upon rebooting, plymouth is not displayed. This occurs every time if the following packages are not installed: device-mapper device-mapper-libs cryptsetup-luks-libs cryptsetup-luks In reality, there should not be a dependence of having cryptsetup installed for plymouth to work. The two should be detected separately and plymouth should still work if cryptsetup is not available. The current revision of dracut does not seem to act this way.
Doing a minimal install, then using yum to update all the packages in the updates repo the following happens: On install, kernel-2.6.35.6-45.fc14.i686 is present. Plymouth works as intended on this kernel version. After all updates, kernel-2.6.35.9-64.fc14.i686 is present. Plymouth does not display if cryptsetup-luks is not installed - which it is not during a minimal install.
This seems to be the issue: Part of the following command: # sh -x /sbin/dracut -f /boot/initramfs-2.6.35.9-64.fc14.i686.img 2.6.35.9-64.fc14.i686 ... + [[ -d /usr/share/dracut/modules.d/90crypt ]] + [[ -x /usr/share/dracut/modules.d/90crypt/install ]] + [[ -x /usr/share/dracut/modules.d/90crypt/check ]] + /usr/share/dracut/modules.d/90crypt/check + ret=1 + (( ret==0||ret==255 )) + return 1 + dwarning 'Cannot load dracut module "plymouth", dependencies failed.' + echo 'W: Cannot load dracut module "plymouth", dependencies failed.' W: Cannot load dracut module "plymouth", dependencies failed. + [[ -w /var/log/dracut.log ]] ... #
Created attachment 471037 [details] Missing patch @Harald: You fixed this already in dracut-006-3.fc14, but your patch somehow got lost in dracut-006-4.fc14 (appears to be unintentional). Could you please add the patch back and rebuild dracut? I've attached it to this bug report. Thanks!
It's been a while since the last comment on this and I haven't seen anything hit koji etc - is there anything I can do to help further on this?
