https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=278981 Summary: Problem with new modular mkinitrd on PPC Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Alpha 4plus Platform: Macintosh OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: lchiquitto@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de After the last round of updates to -factory (in particular: kernel-default-2.6.21-12 and mkinitrd-2.0-11), I found a problem that affects the ppc architecture (and maybe some others). Different from x86, ppc has ext3 built-in: ppc# grep EXT3_FS= /boot/config-2.6.21-12-default CONFIG_EXT3_FS=y x86# grep EXT3_FS= /boot/config-2.6.21-12-default CONFIG_EXT3_FS=m When mkinitrd runs, /lib/mkinitrd/setup/070-storage.sh discovers what's the root filesystem type and tries to load its module (line 247): if ! modprobe -q $rootfstype; then error 1 "Could not find the filesystem module for root device $rootdev ($rootfstype)" fi This test will always fail if you're using ext3 as the root filesystem on PPC. -- 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.
