Created an attachment (id=376728) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=376728) [details] change logs

Which tools can add the required module(s) for support of logical volume management to the RAM disk in a "convenient" and safe way?

Hi Markus: I assume you are referring to initrd. If this is the case, you can get to it via "mkinitrd -f lvm2" (refer to man mkinitrd for details). -- 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.

I refer to the proper completion of initial ram file systems. I would like to be sure that the required modules or features will be added with a version that will really fit to the target kernels.

Should the update process ask the user (or system administrator) about potential adjustments for initrd files which do not belong to affected kernel images of the current distribution upgrade?

Is the parameter "-k kernel_list" used during the update so that selected files can be left unchanged?

Which command triggered the deletions that damaged LVM support?

Theoretically, no commands should do that. My first thought was it's a duplicate of bnc#619461, which seems to be wrong now. And I cannot reproduce this issue in my environment so far yet. Can you provide me some way to reproduce this issue ? Thanks a lot. -- 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.

I can give you more installation details from my side if you need it. Which software packages contain update instructions for initrd files?

There're a couple of scripts in /lib/mkinitrd/scripts. When you call 'mkinitrd', the scripts in /lib/mkinitrd/setup will be used to setup, and scripts in /lib/mkinitrd/boot will be copied into the initrd file. Hope this helps.

...

Hope this helps.

Not really in the direction I need ...

Would we like to identify the concrete update instructions which damaged the LVM support on my system?

I think /var/log/YaST2/mkinitrd.log will be a good start. -- 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.

Description: During Milestones I had a similar problem. The screen run through with the message that root on /dev/vg00/root could not be found. It was fixed in initrd as far as I remember. Now with kerne from 11.3 I got no message, only "Doing fast boot". The HD-LED blinked rapidly. The system boots with a kernel including initrd from 11.2. The kernel I tried now was one I build myself with "make cloneconfig; make; make module_install; make install" I get the LVM messages that /dev/vg00/root is not found. Well but vg01 IS found and activated. I can not boot with a kernel from 11.3 (original or selfmade) as vg00 remains lost. -- 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.

The self-compiled kernels 2.6.34 and 2.6.35 that I cloned from the Git repository at "kernel.org" worked with LVM support as usual in my use case. -- 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.
