dracut stopped working with multipath in 019-40.git20120618
Last modified: 2012-06-25 19:36:47 EDT
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

Created attachment 592947 [details] dracut --test output
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.
Created attachment 592968 [details] 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.
next try: dracut-019-92.git20120625.fc18
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.
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.
