[Bug 206609] New: mkinitrd 1.2-106.18 generates incorrect initrd on system where / is on lvm
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=206609 Summary: mkinitrd 1.2-106.18 generates incorrect initrd on system where / is on lvm Product: SUSE Linux 10.1 Version: Final Platform: x86 OS/Version: SuSE Linux 10.1 Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: moby@pcsn.net QAContact: qa@suse.de For systems where / is on lvm, mkinitrd 1.2-106.18 generates an initrd with evms support instead of lvm, thereby rendering the system unbootable. This version of mkinitrd and an associated kernel update were released recently and made available via automatic updates. This can be a big problem since systems setup to automatically install critical patches will be rendered unbootable if they use / on lvm. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

So it seems to be detected as an MD device (not evms in my case), although it is lvm2. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

Looking into the initrd generated on my system, I saw evms files in there instead of lvm files - hence my conclusion that mkinitrd was creating an initrd for evms systems instead of lvm even when the system only had lvm. In Johannes case, it seems that despite the errors, approprite lvm support was included in the initrd, since otherwise the kernel would not have booted and mounted root. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
