Hi, 10.0 x86_64 here.
I upgraded/updated the kernel to 2.6.13-15.10 (official).
It misses the dm-mod module compiled, so I'm really screwed. Non of my LVM volumes can be mounted. And my /usr and /var are on logical volumes :(
The previous kernel I used - 2.6.13-15.8 worked OK.
Can someone confirm that this is the case?
Where from I can get the previous version, so I can recover?
Hi Sunny, have you checked that you have the dm-mod.ko file, I think it should be found under /lib/modules/2.6.13-15.10/kernel/drivers/md/ If so, it may be that the installation procedure didn't create your initrd with all the required drivers. If this is the case, you'll need to run mkinitrd, I don't remember the proper syntax off the top of my head so check out the man page. There is also a variable in /etc/sysconfig/kernel called INITRD_MODULES which determines which modules go into the initrd image, check this before using mkinitrd.
He said he had /usr and /var on logical volumes, and you don't need initrd for those, you only need to use initrd to mount /, since the point of initrd is to be able to access /lib/modules (which isn't allowed to be on a separate partition) so all the other drivers can be loaded The problem must be something else, but until Sunny replies with more details we can't know -- Ut supra post festum sunt obscura -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
