During deinstallation the following error message appeared: Removing aufs-kmp-xen-cvs20081020_2.6.27.21_0.1-1.32.9 [error] Removal of (44334)aufs-kmp-xen-cvs20081020_2.6.27.21_0.1-1.32.9.x86_64(@System) failed: Error: Subprocess failed.

I have looked at the script /lib/mkinitrd/setup/72-block.sh, and it seems, that it does not handle the installation onto md-root devices properly. According to a trace I did within the script it finds the root device, but then it tries to go into the get_devmodule function with 'root' as a parameter, but there is no root entry in /sys/block/. I don't know, where the translation from /dev/root to the real device /dev/md1, which is where the link of /dev/root points to, should happen. For this is the problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go onto a machine with mdx as root. 2. zypper in aufs-kmp-xen (or rm, if its already installed or use some other kernel module, which uses /lib/lib/mkinitrd/setup/72-block.sh somewhere during installation) 3. The error message should show up as output. Actual Results: Error message (see detailed description) appears. Expected Results: Module should be installed without error message.
