Description of problem: When booting on the RHEL6.1 kernel, my system kernel panics when mounting /, which is on a software raid device, with LVM on top and the LV encrypted. This happens on both kernel versions 2.6.32-131.0.15.el6.x86_64 and 2.6.32-131.2.1.el6.x86_64, however, the system boots fine on the RHEL6.0 kernels (2.6.32-71.24.1.el6.x86_64). I have have attached a screenshot of the panic. It's clear that the kernel cannot find the partition after assembling the raid array. However, this worked fine under RHEL6.0. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.32-131.0.15.el6.x86_64 and 2.6.32-131.2.1.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot off either 2.6.32-131.0.15.el6.x86_64 or 2.6.32-131.2.1.el6.x86_64 kernels Actual results: panic Expected results: no panic Additional info: Here is my grub.conf: title Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (2.6.32-131.2.1.el6.x86_64) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.32-131.2.1.el6.x86_64 ro root=/dev/mapper/luks-04d02fd2-c2f6-4c73-a923-be4f9538baaa rd_LUKS_UUID=luks-04d02fd2-c2f6-4c73-a923-be4f9538baaa rd_MD_UUID=22d91821:0194c6d7:45757f88:00952bd9 rd_LVM_LV=vg320/root rd_LUKS_UUID=luks-b2daebb6-3d67-434d-83b4-5495987e369e rd_NO_DM LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=us crashkernel=auto initrd /initramfs-2.6.32-131.2.1.el6.x86_64.img title Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (2.6.32-131.0.15.el6.x86_64) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.32-131.0.15.el6.x86_64 ro root=/dev/mapper/luks-04d02fd2-c2f6-4c73-a923-be4f9538baaa rd_LUKS_UUID=luks-04d02fd2-c2f6-4c73-a923-be4f9538baaa rd_MD_UUID=22d91821:0194c6d7:45757f88:00952bd9 rd_LVM_LV=vg320/root rd_LUKS_UUID=luks-b2daebb6-3d67-434d-83b4-5495987e369e rd_NO_DM LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=us crashkernel=auto initrd /initramfs-2.6.32-131.0.15.el6.x86_64.img title Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (2.6.32-71.24.1.el6.x86_64) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.32-71.24.1.el6.x86_64 ro root=/dev/mapper/luks-04d02fd2-c2f6-4c73-a923-be4f9538baaa rd_LUKS_UUID=luks-04d02fd2-c2f6-4c73-a923-be4f9538baaa rd_MD_UUID=22d91821:0194c6d7:45757f88:00952bd9 rd_LVM_LV=vg320/root rd_LUKS_UUID=luks-b2daebb6-3d67-434d-83b4-5495987e369e rd_NO_DM LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=us crashkernel=auto initrd /initramfs-2.6.32-71.24.1.el6.x86_64.img

Since RHEL 6.2 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as exception or blocker. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
6.2 has been out for a long time now and I haven't seen any updates to this BZ. Has the problem gone away? Thanks, Jes
