https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=484897 Summary: Unable to boot system after normal kernel upgrade Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Bootloader AssignedTo: jsrain@novell.com ReportedBy: archie@dellroad.org QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.7) Gecko/2009021910 Firefox/3.0.7 I have an openSUSE 11.1 system with /dev/md0 (RAID1) as the root filesystem with ReiserFS formatting. There is a separate non-RAID /boot partition. After upgrading from kernel-default-2.6.27.7-9 (the openSUSE 11.1 default) to kernel-default-2.6.27.19-3 (which comes from 11.1 updates repository), my system would no longer boot! It could not mount root, "invalid root filesystem". Here is a relevant thread: http://forums.opensuse.org/pre-release-beta/409279-invalid-root-filesystem.h... Workaround I've found so far: when boot fails and you fall into a shell script, run "modprobe reiserfs", then hit CTRL-D. I inspected my initrd and it seems to have reiserfs configured in there. The "reiserfs" module is also listed in /etc/sysconfig/kernel in INITRD_MODULES as expected. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install openSUSE 11.1 system with RAID1 root filesystem with ReiserFS format. 2. zypper install kernel-default (to get newer kernel from openSUSE-11.1 Updates) 3. reboot Actual Results: System would not boot: "invalid root partition". Expected Results: System should boot, of course!! -- 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.
