So the desktop mounts /dev/md0 preliminary, then xfs recovery takes place if needed, and "switchroot /sysroot" is made at the end. Ahh, this could very likely be the difference. I use dm-crypt on all my filesystems, so a very similar situation: my initramfs first mounts my root filesystem, and then chroot's into it. The mount call from userspace is likely the difference. I would suggest to try and duplicate it with an initrd/initramfs, and if it goes away, file a bug at bugs.kernel.org. They might refuse a bug report with -ck sources, so you might have to report it with the maintainer of the -ck sources, or switch to vanilla for the testing. But either way it seems like a kernel bug to me... -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

H...witting this email I think an idea occurred to me...:) What stops me make the same way of booting on the problematic PC? Well, this would be a workaround again while I prefer a straight solution. -- Best regards, Daniel -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Interesting approach. This is exactly a workaround. If there is no straight solution I may finally find myself forced to go this way. Thank, you for the idea! -- Best regards, Daniel -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] xfs recovery + kernel panic
I would try booting off a live cd that has the xfs utils on it. That way you can get your drive sorted out without worrying about your OS getting in the way.--DavidOn 7/7/06, Daniel Iliev <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hello, guys!Situation:1) Unclean shutdown2) Boot3) Kernel tries to mount /4) xfs recovery starts5) In the same time (before recovery is finished) kernel tries to start"init", fails and panics. If I take the HDD and mount it (not as "/") on another machine, there isno problem. The recovery finishes OK and afterward xfs_rapair doesn'tfind any errors. The next unclean shutdown everything repeats. Is there a way to make the kernel wait for the recovery to finish beforetrying to start init or any other workaround?.Thank you in advance!--Best regards,Daniel-- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
