[Bug 530833] New: lvm support in mkinitrd broken
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=530833 Summary: lvm support in mkinitrd broken Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Factory Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: mmarek@novell.com ReportedBy: pth@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Development A system using lvm currently can't boot. This is because /sbin/vgscan is missing in the initrd because it's not mentioned in the #%programs line of /lib/mkinitrd/scripts/boot-lvm2.sh. In fact the latest sources for mkinitrd don't contain even a trace of vgscan/vgchange. How is lvm support supposed to function? -- 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.

This happens after each kernel update, I fix this by booting a suse 11.1 dvd *I run x86_64 and the ms5 dvd image did not fit on the disk therefore I used the 11.1 version *because I did not want to wait for the long dvd download for ms-6 I used the 11.1 version again for the latest update. my partitions /dev/sda1 boot (ext3) /dev/sda2 lvm (system) /dev/system/root (reiserfs) /dev/system/home (reiserfs) after booting to rescue mode I fix the initrd image through the following steps mount /dev/system/root /mnt mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev chroot /mnt mount /proc mount /sys mkinitrd reboot my system and the system works again I am not sure if this because of the lack of lvm or the lack of reiserfs support in the mkinitrd image -- 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.

Yesterday I did zypper dup on a mixed regular & LVM VIA/Socket A system last dup'd from Factory about the time the final 11.1RC was announced ready for GM.I had no problem booting the new kernel/initrd 2.6.31.3-pae. However, the system was still using legacy IDE instead of libata. The dup filled the / volume to 100%, so I backed up selected files and directories to the /home volume, booted Fedora, reformatted the Factory / volume with b1024 J size=400 I128 to improve space efficiency, copied the backups back, which included the new pae kernel/initrd & /lib/modules, and did a minimalist install. Install used the default kernel instead of pae. First boot failed, with a message scrolling the screen too fast too read, something about not finding any VolGroup. It's up now on the yesterday's pae initrd, but using IDE instead of LIBATA. I have no idea what to do to try to fix this. Last time I tried to do a manual initrd conversion from IDE to LIBATA I got nowhere, with no help from the Factory mailing list or Factory IRC. -- 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.
