Description of problem: When starting kdump, it automatically (re)builds the appropriate initrd when necessary. However, this displays: cp: cannot stat `/sbin/kpartx': No such file or directory Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kexec-tools-2.0.0-39.fc14.1.x86_64 How reproducible: Every time the dump initrd is rebuilt. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install kexec-tools 2. service kdump start Actual results: Error message from cp Expected results: No error message Additional info: I'm not sure why the dump initrd wants kpartx, but it seems to work just fine without it, at least in my particular setup (/boot on a partition, everything else in LVM). The obvious workaround is to just install kpartx, but if the dump initrd actually needs it, then shouldn't the kexec-tools RPM depend on it?
This is fixed in kexec-tools-2.0.0-40 as part of bz 682859 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 682859 ***
I just tested kexec-tools-2.0.0-40.fc14.x86_64 and it unfortunately does not resolve the issue: # rpm -q kexec-tools kexec-tools-2.0.0-40.fc14.x86_64 # rm -f /boot/initrd-2.6.35.11-83.fc14.x86_64kdump.img # service kdump start No kdump initial ramdisk found. [WARNING] Rebuilding /boot/initrd-2.6.35.11-83.fc14.x86_64kdump.img cp: cannot stat `/sbin/kpartx': No such file or directory (I'm not sure if I should reopen this bug or bug 682859, which this was duped to)
Sorry, sillyness on my part. kpartx's usage is gone in f14, but we still try to include the binary. I've fixed this in -41
