Applied file system workaround from bug 445368, continued installation and failed first boot. Same symptom of md0 being changed to md127. -- 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 "--examine" output you provide confirms that the arrays have the correct names: Name : 0 Name : 1 This should cause them to be assembled as md0 and md1. If one had a name like "home", it could well be assembled as "md127" but there would also be a link from /dev/md/home to ../md127. The only situation in which it will not use md0 for an array called '0' is if md0 is already in use. However this does not appear to be the case. If this happened you would get a link /dev/md/0_0 pointing to ../md127. Do you have such a link? Also, could you please attach you "/var/log/boot.msg" from the booted system, and /etc/mdadm.conf if that file exists. Thanks. -- 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.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=445438 User nfbrown@novell.com added comment https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=445438#c13 --- Comment #13 from Neil Brown 2008-11-19 22:22:54 MST --- I think I have figured out what is happening. md0 is not being assembled as md0 because it doesn't look like it is local to 'this' host at the time it is assembled. If it were assembled by /etc/init.d/boot.md it would be assembled properly as it is listed in /etc/mdadm.conf However it is actually getting assembled 'automagically' by the initrd. The mdadm.conf in the initrd doesn't mention md0, so the device does not seem to be 'local'. I think I can fix this. I won't go in to too much detail, but essentially I need to stop mdadm from assembling md0 incorrectly from initrd, and leave it to be assembled by the rest of the boot process. The 'feature' of mdadm which causes it to do this had been bothering me a bit anyway, so I'm actually glad to have a good reason to remove it. Thanks.
