This is an FYI which I hope will help define the problem discussed here. I have fallen victim to this inability to boot to an update. I started using Fedora with FC5 and the issue reported here is not present in my /etc/ modprobe.conf. So, I assume, it was introduced in an earlier version of Fedora. Does this still affect you with mkinitrd-5.1.10 ? Chris, Can you add: alias scsi_hostadapter1 usb-storage To the _top_ of /etc/modprobe.conf and then rebuild your initrd with mkinitrd-5.1.10 and report here if it works? Thanks! Chris, can you give this a try please?? I don't have the HW to test this. I have problems with a USB stick not being detected upon boot. The "dmesg" file [2.6.21-1.3228.fc7] reports: "libusual: modprobe for usb-storage succeeded, but module is not present". When I add "modprobe usb-storage" to "rc.local", then the [inserted] USB stick is detected upon boot, and an associated device "sdb" is created. If "usb-storage" was removed from "initrd" in order to deal with the issue of this bug report, then my comment proves that it wasn't the best thing to do .. Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now, we will automatically close it. If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again. I believe this is long fixed now, but I'm not sure. Hans-do you have any way of confirming? Otherwise I guess we can close this? (In reply to comment #8) > Hans-do you have any way of confirming? Otherwise I guess we can close this? I'm afraid I d not have a way of confirming this, closing with a resolution fo rawhide as I believe this is long fixed. |
