However, mounting of /usr in the initrd happens too late, that is some of the components, programs and libraries are needed before it is mounted. The net result is a series of errors, including missing libraries and kernel panics. If everything is on the same partition, there are no issues. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have a separate / and /usr 2. Install latest Factory updates 3. Reboot the system Actual Results: The system does not boot properly (errors include missing libblkid, libmount and liblzo, or errors from udev - No such file or directory - when using blkid) Expected Results: The system boots up normally. -- 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.
