A. Walsh <suse@tlinx.org> 2010-06-30 07:32:37 PDT --- Ok, 1st problem -- when I do a "make install" I see several warnings and errors: WARNING: no dependencies for kernel module 'pata_acpi' found. modprobe: Module ata_piix not found. WARNING: no dependencies for kernel module 'ata_piix' found. modprobe: Module ata_generic not found. WARNING: no dependencies for kernel module 'ata_generic' found. modprobe: Module ide_pci_generic not found. WARNING: no dependencies for kernel module 'ide_pci_generic' found. modprobe: Module ohci_hcd not found. WARNING: no dependencies for kernel module 'ohci_hcd' found. Kernel Modules: edd ---- I shouldn't be seeing warnings for things that not problems. 2nd part -- was immediately folling this is an ERROR I've never seen before. I don't know what it means or what the impact is -- I shouldn't be getting error messages: 2010-06-29 16:18:45 ERROR: UDEVMAPPING: dmdev /dev/dm-0 doesn't have defined DM_NAME in udev 2010-06-29 16:18:51 ERROR: UDEVMAPPING: dmdev /dev/dm-0 doesn't have defined DM_NAME in udev when I install. I've had nothing but problems with device mapper, udev...lvm... they don't play together well. I even had a problem with udev that kept my system from booting for 2 days, so when I see udev problems cropping up when I am installing a kernel -- it's very worrysome to say the least. Then to top it off, I run the bootloader config 'lilo' and see more warnings because it wasn't build with LVM support. I tried building LVM -- then none of my snapshots would unmount or work because udev didn't like the new lvm. I tried updating udev -- and that's when my system stopped booting. So...having all these warning and error crop up -- that's the basic complaint, though the details are -- why am I getting all of these problems? As for your assertion about lvm possibly moving things around and that could confuse lilo -- I know enough to rerun lilo if things might move my boot partition around -- but my boot partition is small -- and just has the kernels on it. Root can be lvm based, and lilo doesn't care.
From what I've seen, grub has more problems booting from lvm than lilo has ever had. My proposal is that lilo be moved back to be the first choice -- it has fewer bugs and fewer problems.
It also boots on xfs, while grub doesn't. That alone should move it to first choice. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
