Description W Agtail 2005-04-25 00:57:13 UTC
Description of problem:
I'm unable to catch all screen output.
System fails to reboot cleanly after building system via kickstart (ks.cfg).
Some of the screen output is:

mdadm: ARRAY line /dev/md3 has no identity information.
mdadm: only specify super-minor once, super-minor=2 ignored.
mdadm: ARRAY line /dev/md2 has no identity information.
mdadm: only specify super-minor once, super-minor=1 ignored.
mdadm: ARRAY line /dev/md1 has no identity information.
mdadm: no arrays found in config file
Checking filesystems
/dev/md3: clean, nn/nn files, nn/nn blocks
/dev/md2: clean, nn/nn files, nn/nn blocks
/dev/sys/tmp is mounted, e2fsck: Cannot continue, aborting.
/dev/sys/use is mounted, e2fsck: Cannot continue, aborting.
*** An error occured during the file system check.

System then drops to maintenance mode.
Pressing control-d reboots system and same messages appear.

If I then use the attched ks.cfg file and comment out
#logvol /usr --vgname=sys --size=8000 --name=usr --fstype=ext3
the above messages appear again.
Pressing control-d reboots system and same messages appear.

On entering maintenance mode and running:
mount -o remount,rw /
### NB: I now have access to commands under /usr re: commenting out /usr in ks.cfg.
vgdisplay
vgscan
### NB: there is no /proc/lvm dir !!
cd /proc
find . -name "*lvm*"    # maybe it moved in FC4?
find: WARNING: hard link count is wrong for ./1/task: this may be a bug in your
filesystem driver.

I then hit control-d, system reboots, complains with above mdadm errors, but
systems starts up cleanly.

Still no /proc/lvm dir and find still errors with above mentioned bug in your
filesystem driver error.

All sounds very nasty to me?
Any thoughts on this?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
FC4 test 2 ISO CD1

How reproducible:
every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot from FC4 test2 ISO CD1 - FC4-test2-x86_64-disc1.iso
2. with ks.cfg stored on compactflash card (internal USB media reader)
3. linux ks=hd:sda1/ks.cfg
  
Actual results:
see above.

Expected results:
a clean system after running kickstart.

Additional info:
CPU: Althon 64
Disks: 2 x SATA1 - sata_sil module
USB MediaReader: compactflash card with ks.cfg

Would also be nice if FC4 could include the following:
Marvell Yukon 88E8053 8.16 module - seems to work OK
from http://www.marvell.com

and RalinkRT2500 rt2500 1.1.0-b2 module from:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/rt2400/

and anaconda being able to detect a LG L1730P 17" LCD monitor :)

kickstart file

Comment 2 W Agtail 2005-04-26 18:31:53 UTC
I have also noticed that /dev/LVMVolGroup/LVol device files do not get created.
e.g. /dev/sys/tmp

Comment 3 W Agtail 2005-04-26 21:08:46 UTC
Created attachment 113691 [details]
updated kickstart file - ks.cfg

Added:

logvol /tmp --vgname=sys --size=1024 --name=tmp --fstype=ext3
logvol /usr --vgname=sys --size=8000 --name=usr --fstype=ext3

#and:

%post
# this is required to create lvm devices under /mnt/sysimage/dev/VGroup/LVol
# e.g. /dev/sys/{tmp,usr}
vgscan

Comment 4 Jeremy Katz 2005-04-27 05:37:53 UTC
Can you provide /etc/mdadm.conf?

Comment 5 W Agtail 2005-04-27 18:25:38 UTC
Created attachment 113727 [details]
/etc/mdadm.conf

as request. /etc/mdadm.conf created during kickstart build.

Comment 7 Peter Jones 2005-05-19 19:50:10 UTC
I can't duplicate any of this in test3 except for the warnings regarding
mdadm.conf .  Those are already filed as another bug, so I'm closing this as a dupe.
