Description of problem: After upgrading to f17 fedora boots into dracut, telling /dev/mapper/vg_phai_lv_root does not exist. Looking into "/dev/mapper", there is only "control". "lvm vgscan" reports: "no volume groups found". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rawhide (f18), f17 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install f16, upgrade to f17 or rawhide 2. reboot 3. Actual results: falls back to dracut, because not finding any volume-groups Expected results: find volume groups, activate them, mount them, boot into installed system Additional info:
which versions? $ rpm -q kmod kmod-5-7.fc17.x86_64 $ rpm -q dracut dracut-015-9.git20120213.fc17 $ rpm -q udev udev-181-2.fc17.x86_64
please retry with updated f17/rawhide
(In reply to comment #2) > please retry with updated f17/rawhide # yum update kmod dracut # yum update kernel
I suggest making frequent tests of something like: <minimal install of f17 (or f18 soon)> <open terminal and became root> # chvt 2 <login as root> # init 3 <login as root again now in tty1> # yum install fedora-release-rawhide # yum --releasever=rawhide distro-sync May need to "yum erase" some broken stuff or --skip-broken may work. Do it in a test computer or some kind of vm to avoid losing any data, qemu, VirtualBox, etc. Last two kernel updates in rawhide do not boot, but they look more like systemd issues, and there should be some way to workaround it. I have 3 kernels installed, only the oldest one boots, but updates of dracut/systemd/etc may break it at any time.

Sounds like: bug 847418 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=847418#c13 somebody messed up the rawhide version.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle. Changing version to '19'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)
