http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=505670 Summary: Unable to boot - LVM/mapper does not create devices Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Factory Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: llipavsky@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: System Test Created an attachment (id=293325) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=293325) screenshot I am using LVM for / direcocotry. After last update from factory (2009-05-19), I am unable to boot anymore. All messages I get are on attached screenshot (I wanted to attach serial console output as well, but the error occurs before the serial console get initialized) messages (short): mkdir: cannot create directory `/dev/mapper': File exists mknod: `/dev/mapper/control': File exists Creating device nodes with udev udevf-event[425]: device node '/dev/mapper/control' already exists, link to '/dev/device-mapper' will not overwrite it (...) Waiting for device /dev/system/factory to appear: ..............Could not find /dev/system/factory. Want me to fall back to /dev/system/factory? (Y/n) Obviously, fall back to /dev/system/factory solves nothing. After the message I got minimal shell, but dmesg does not work :( I'd like to provide any other information, but just tell me how ;-) (I can chroot to the installation and will provide hwinfo and list of packages in attachment) -- 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.

@8 Mario Guzman It may be true as all factory images after Milestone 1 were also called Milestone 1 and because i didn't yet have LVM on the Milestone 1 release i can't say for sure that the M1 release (Build 0066) was booting succesfully. Perhaps it has got to do with the change to GCC 4.4 ?
It occurred in Factory sometime between M1 and M2. The problem is simply that newer builds of lvm2 have an initrd script that is missing the appropriate commands to set up the LVM. -- 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.

Indeed. Actually the initrd script is simplified because udev can setup logical volume automatically now. However, we forgot to include the udev rules for that. The new version has been submitted for a while, but seems to be too late for M2 ..... Thanks and happy testing ;) -- 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.

Ok nonetheless I used mdadm with -A --scan and got my RAIDs build. Why this time again the md127 instead of md1 appears is beyond me. md127 is the auto assigned device name here. So my best guest is mkinitrd doesn't include the conf file of MD into initrd file. I used "vgchange -a y" and all LVs appear, including /dev/vg00/root. As I had all the older scripts from mkinitrd (the ones weher lvm and dm is different) I copied the lvm boot script to /boot, umounted /dev/hda2 and tried to boot by usning "init". Then the devices /dev/vg00 went away and I ended where I started: "waiting for /dev/vg00/root to appear ..." Any further notions, at least, which bug I should report this too now? Seems to me that the whole initrd is broken as long it hast to deal with MD and LVM in some way. Perhaps even something in udev or kernel since we are back to /dev/hda now.
Milan, Any idea about this ? -- 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.

addendum:
this report is for openSUSE 11.2 RC 1 (x86_64) VERSION = 11.2
Would you also attach the version number of the lvm2 package as well ? I assume this has been fixed in the latest update already, so it'll also great if you can give the latest package a try.
