https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=331604#c1 Bernhard Bender changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |bernhard.bender@web.de --- Comment #1 from Bernhard Bender 2007-10-10 08:50:44 MST --- I found a similar problem during the upgrade 10.2 -> 10.3. My /etc/mdadm.conf apparently does not contain references to /dev/hd* or /dev/sd*, but /etc/fstab did. fstab was not updated. I should mention that I have a setup with IDE (P-ATA) drives that have a non-raid boot partition (/boot on hda1) and then partitions hd[ab]2 and hd[ab]4 as a raid-1, and LVM on top of that. Therefore, hd[ab] is only mentioned on the fstab for /boot and swap. I have /boot on /dev/hda1 (now /dev/sda1), so installation of the new kernel and GRUB failed. So the system ended up in the fsck rescue mode after first reboot during installation. I was able to edit the fstab and GRUB config from the resuce system so now everything works well. However, the installation should really check for this. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

So there should be no references to partition device names in mdadm.conf normally. In comment #1 the user explicitly stated that there were no reference to devices in mdadm.conf. Only reason for devices names being part of mdadm.conf could be if the update was hitting a mdadm.conf from a system older than SL 10.1 or if the user manually edited mdadm.conf. So far there is no code that touches mdadm.conf during update. So it could happen that someone still has a pre-10.1 mdadm.conf in its system even if he did updates to 10.1, 10.2 and now 10.3. Most of the problems with booting from mdadm were due to bootloader not handling being /boot on md raid, not because of device names in mdadm.conf but the issue with mdadm.conf of pretty old installations still existing could be also hit. Please attach your mdadm.conf. Please tell us which was the version you installed SuSE Linux first and if you manually edited mdadm.conf. Additionally please attach complete content of the directory /var/log/YaST2. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

If you want, I could try to split them up over seceral attachments, or could you be more specific. I have a y2log-y2log-9 that are 10 MB each. Just let me know and I will do what I can. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=331604#c12 --- Comment #12 from Thomas Fehr 2007-10-25 07:09:16 MST --- Thanks for the information. So you really still has a pre-10.1 mdadm.conf on your system. I meanwhile added code that changes mdadm.conf to use "DEVICE partitions" during update if devices have been renamed. So the mdadm related portion of the bug is fixed now. I abstain from closing it since as far as I know there are still issues with bootloader and MD devices. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=331604#c15 --- Comment #15 from Joe Morris 2007-10-25 19:00:40 MST --- Created an attachment (id=180669) --> (https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=180669) current mdadm.conf I couldn't wait to see and decided the knowledge gained was worth the risk. I went ahead and tried with the attached new mdadm.conf. Booted fine and seems to work with no problems. I will check and do the same at work in hopes when I upgrade to 10.3 there (from 10.2 like here at home), I will not experience that problem. BTW, here at home I only have 2 IDE HD, now sda and sdb instead of hda and hdc. At work, I have 2 IDE and 2 SATA. They are now hda, hdc, sda, sdb. What will be what with 10.3? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=331604#c17 --- Comment #17 from Joe Morris 2007-10-26 03:01:41 MST --- I checked my mdadm.conf at work. It had DEVICE partitions, so I should be safe to upgrade. I also checked man mdadm.conf, and DEVICE partitions is correct, so I made the change to mine here at home. I also noted the one at work did not have the num-devices=2, so I removed that from mine here as well. Booted fine and I will leave it this way. I will let you know if I hit this bug when I upgrade the office. If not, for me my problem may just have been an outdated mdadm.conf. I do know md0 assembled somehow, just not md1, which is /home (which agrees with Comment 6).
