https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=334377#c6 --- Comment #6 from Alexander Graf 2007-10-19 09:24:56 MST --- Just a few comments on the patch ...

...

+ if [ "$#" = "3" ] && [ "$2" != "cciss" ] && [ "$2" != "ida" ] ; then

Maintaining exceptions from block device notation in lvm basically sucks. The mylex driver seems to fall into this category as well and I doubt anyone would want to maintain 2 places for exceptions from the default disk device notation. Isn't there any better way to map a device file name to LVM for certain?

...

+ elif [ "${blockdriver%%[0-9]*}" = "ida" ] ; then + blkpart="ida!${bd##*/}" + blkdev="${blkpart%%p[0-9]}"

Same goes for this one. I think this should be fixed in a more generic way, like it's done in the mylex patch anyway. Though I have to admit that this should not be done in block, but rather in blockpartition. The same complaint about adding driver-specific code comes in here as well. Furthermore the sysfs directory contains no "device" symlink. So even though the patch might apply correctly, it does not fix the actual problem that the kernel module can not be found, as the link between block device and the real device is simply missing. I would propose to use attachment 178316 as a base and move the sed clause to blockpartition (hope that does not break anything). -- 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.

Questions: How do I apply the rpm: if booted with "Rescue" option - needed files are not found. How to apply the script patch listed above? How can I run mkinitrd? Installation seems complete, I can "Boot installed system" to see the new boot menu. Chosing any of the entries results in the system hanging. Please be gentle with me: only have eight years of Linux experience. additional info: original poster solved his problem by coying initrd from another SuSE 10.3 installation and re-writing GRUB after booting from Knoppix. http://www.linuxforen.de/forums/showthread.php?t=242799 No possible solution for me: 2 other computers running 10.2 - and I don't want to risk another non bootable machine.

What you do is: a) Start up rescue system b) mount the installed system under /root c) issue a 'mount --bind /dev /root/dev' d) chroot into /root e) mount /sys f) mount /proc g) edit /sbin/mkinitrd according to the patch in comment #4 h) re-run mkinitrd i) reboot. The system should now come up properly. Once it has booted, you should install the mkinitrd maintenance update to be sure to have the proper fix. -- 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.
