-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2009-8072 2009-07-28 17:45:04 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : mkinitrd Product : Fedora 11 Version : 6.0.87 Release : 3.fc11 URL : git://git.fedoraproject.org/git/hosted/mkinitrd Summary : Creates an initial ramdisk image for preloading modules. Description : mkinitrd creates filesystem images for use as initial ram filesystem (initramfs) images. These images are used to find and mount the root filesystem. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This update fixes a bug which caused mkinitrd to generate an initrd which could not boot the system when all of the following happened: 1) / is a linear Logical Volume 2) The Volume Group to which this LV belongs has PV's spanning multiple disks 3) The / LV only uses some of the disks that have PV's of the VG Merely applying this update is not enough to fix this, you also need to regenerate your initrd by executing the following commands as root: mv /boot/initrd-$(uname -r).img /boot/initrd-$(uname -r).img.old mkinitrd /boot/initrd-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r) There is a (very small) chance that this will render your system unbootable with the kernel you are running when executing this command. If this happens you can still boot another kernel, or you can edit your boot commands in the bootloader (grub) and append .old to the initrd line. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Mon Jul 27 2009 Hans de Goede <[email protected]> - 6.0.87-3 - process all PVs in required VG (#506189) * Thu Jul 16 2009 Karsten Hopp <[email protected]> 6.0.87-2 - bump and rebuild for soname change of libparted on s390x * Tue Jun 16 2009 Hans de Goede <[email protected]> - 6.0.87-1 - Fix mkinitrd creating a non booting initrd when parted-devel is installed and the user has made configuration changes resulting in ld.so searching /usr/lib before /lib (#502221) - Fix nash' network command not setting the default gateway (#501033) * Mon Jun 15 2009 Karsten Hopp <[email protected]> 6.0.86-2.1 - there is no kbd package on s390x, don't require it there -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #506189 - mkinitrd not processing all PVs in required VG https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=506189 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
