Description Bruno Wolff III 2012-06-19 03:58:30 UTC
Description of problem:
I was trying out 019-40.git20120618 because of a problem with 019-16.git20120611 and luks and the kernel update script failed similarly to a problem a few weeks ago that had been fixed. Removing device-mapper-multipath-libs and device-mapper-multipath and rerunning the update script worked.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
019-40.git20120618

Actual results:
# /sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel-PAE --mkinitrd --dracut --depmod --update 3.5.0-0.rc2.git0.3.fc18.i686.PAE
F: installkernel failed in module multipath
mkinitrd failed

can you please attach the output of:

# dracut --debug test.img

with the multipath packages installed?

Comment 3 Bruno Wolff III 2012-06-19 13:52:51 UTC
The previous dump isn't going to help as I noticed that test.img already existing after a test run (where I didn't end up capturing the output) caused it to fail sooner. Now I am getting hangs partly through the process (in different places) while trying to capture it with script.

dracut --debug output

It seems something dracut was doing was breaking script. I ended up redirecting standout and standerr and got the output that way.

I restested this with dracut-019-57.git20120620.fc18.noarch and the issue still is happening.

Comment 6 Harald Hoyer 2012-06-25 12:15:07 UTC
next try: dracut-019-92.git20120625.fc18

Comment 7 Bruno Wolff III 2012-06-25 16:57:00 UTC
I tested this with dracut --debut test.img and test.img ius being created now. With the next rawhide kernel build, I'll try it for real and report back. That should happen tonight.

Comment 8 Bruno Wolff III 2012-06-25 23:36:47 UTC
I did a boot off an initramfs and things worked modulo a plymouth bug that has been around a couple of weeks. So I think we can declare this closed.
