I think the Novell url had a limited lifespan: Before I posted it I tried it in a different browser to verify it'd work and it did then but not now. Here's alternate way to display those urls: go to http://download.novell.com/patch/finder/#familyId=7261&priority=&productId=19925&distribution=&architecture=12214&keywords=mkinitrd&xp=19925&xy=19925_2009 and click "26 Aug 2009 - mkinitrd s390x" or, do this:
http://download.novell.com/patch/finder/ fill out the form with Product= SUSE Linux Enterprise Server version = SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP2 architecture=s390x Keyword = mkinitrd click ->Search in the results labeled SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP2, click 2009, expands to list various mkinitrd patches, click "26 Aug 2009 - mkinitrd s390x" to display details of patch "mkinitrd 20090807" for sles10 sp2 mkinitrd-1.2-106.86.3, further down in its Problem description section it says The following bugs have been fixed: Use correct multipath bindings file (bnc#500785) ----- and Google "Bug 409741", the top result (today anyway) is for "Bug 409741 – device-mapper not utilizing friendly names" My earlier post was Google's url for that result which describes a multipath bindings file issue. url works today, but hopefully the mkinitrd fixes the problem and you don't need workarounds. ________________________________________ From: Linux on 390 Port [[email protected]] On Behalf Of <Raymond> <Cabanlit> [[email protected]] Sent: Friday, January 29, 2010 2:43 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: SLES10 - relocating multipath bindings file I tried both links, but did not get any hits on them https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3D409741 Bug #3D409741 does not exist. http://download.novell.com/Download?buildid=3D590za7ntFnk~ Novell Downloads We're sorry, we are unable to complete the download at this time.
