Investigating the contents of the initrd files generated for 3.7.10-1.1 and 3.7.10-1.16 kernels, the libz.so.1.2.7 file included was NOT in /lib64, but instead mkinitrd instead reproducibly included a "custom" 32-bit libz installed in /usr/local (/usr/local/lib/libz.so.1.2.7) needed by one user application, but not any executable in the initrd. Unfortunately, modprobe and libcrypto.so.1.0.0, needed for boot, then fail, as they are linked to the system /lib64/libz and not the 32-bit custom libz. The /lib/mkinitrd/setup/92-sharedlibs.sh is opaque to me, but it surely should not produce an initrd that includes a shared library other than the specific one or ones linked to by executables and libraries needed and included in the initrd. David Looney Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Place a 32-bit version of libz in /usr/local/lib 2. Update kernel and/or manually run mkinitrd 3. Reboot Actual Results: Upgraded from installation to 3.7.10-1.16 kernel after install EMBOSS molecular biology suite software requiring custom 32-bit libz on 64-bit system Expected Results: System reboots with prompt to enter LVM volume encrypted password. Instead it cannot handle luks decryption and goes into endless loop where it "cannot find VolGroup/luks_root" as the volume is never decrypted. Can't be common, as most users don't need a custom libz, but the mkinitrd script to setup shared libraries should definitely not include such a library to the preference of all others in the generated initrd ! -- 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.
