The 18 month support period for Gutsy Gibbon 7.10 has reached its end of life - http://www.ubuntu.com/news/ubuntu-7.10-eol . As a result, we are closing the linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22 task.

[Bug 133765] Re: gutsy md module not present in ramdisk
I had this bug happen to me when I did some Feisty to Gutsy upgrades this weekend. The MD UUIDs are correct in the initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic files, but the scripts are not assembling the arrays. The computers with the bug are panic'ing into VFS: Cannot mount root filesystem without providing the initramfs shell. The old 2.6.20 kernels that are using mdrun from the old Feisty mdadm package are working correctly. -- gutsy md module not present in ramdisk https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/133765 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 133765] Re: gutsy md module not present in ramdisk
dpkg-reconfigure mdadm did not work for me. It turns out that *somehow* the UUID on my raid array changed and the mdadm.conf never got updated (possibly when I grew the array with mdadm -grow?) and the change wasn't obvious, because the first two segments were identical. I only noticed it when I ran out of other options and compared them side by side... Anyhow, once the UUID was updated in mdadm.conf and initrd.img was regenerated, I was able to boot 2.6.22-14. The only thing I can think is that the mdadm script in 2.6.20-16 must be *much* more forgiving, because by all rights, that should have never booted either. -- gutsy md module not present in ramdisk https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/133765 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I also had this problem. Running dpkg-reconfigure mdadm and accepting all the defaults rebuilt an initrd which fixed the problem for me.

[Bug 133765] Re: gutsy md module not present in ramdisk
I tried extracting the contents of both the 2.6.20 and 2.6.22 kernels. I copied the lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic (gutsy) into the lib/modules directory of the feisty initrd. This booted up no problem. This proves that the kernel is NOT the issue here. As I said before, I believe the problem to be in either udev or the mdadm command that ends up in the initrd. I guess the next exercise is to try replacing only the mdadm command in the gutsy standard initrd with the one from Feisty. -- gutsy md module not present in ramdisk https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/133765 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 133765] Re: gutsy md module not present in ramdisk
I have also tried placing the mdadm binary from the feisty initrd into the gutsy initrd. This didn't work either. I guess the problem exists somewhere else in the initrd. Does anyone think this could be a problem with the version of mdadm that created the raid device? I.e. The feisty initrd is the only one that can start the array after an upgrade, because the array was created with a previous version of madam. In this vein, a fresh install may work because the version of mdadm that created the array is the one that now attempts to activate it. I think that this bug may be filed under the wrong package - it has nothing to do with missing modules. Could a developer or the package maintainer please take a look and make a judgment as to whether this bug needs to be moved? -- gutsy md module not present in ramdisk https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/133765 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 133765] Re: gutsy md module not present in ramdisk
I think I have solved this one now, but cant test till the weekend. After further scrutiny of the difference between feisty and gutsy initrd's, I now see that gutsy simply copies your /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf into the initramfs. Feisty appears to generate a correct /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf with UUID's in the initramfs. I suspect that adding the appropriate lines for your array into /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf and regenerating the initramfs will allow the system to find the array and boot up. I wont be able to test this till the weekend, but it looks like it should solve the problem. Take a look at the bugs listed under the mdadm package.

[Bug 133765] Re: gutsy md module not present in ramdisk
I have also tried booting up with the gutsy CD into `rescue mode' and rebuilt the initrd with dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic. Needless to say, this didnt help. I am beginning to wonder if this has anything to do with the version of mdadm in the initrd? From the look of debugging in the initramfs, md_mod and raid1 are loaded. This should be all that is needed for mdadm to find and activate the raid with `mdadm --assemble --scan'. This appears to be the command that is failing (or similar). Does anyone have any suggestiions? Re-installing is NOT an option. I am prepared to go as far as manually re-working the 2.6.20 initrd to contain the 2.6.22 kernel modules. This may be a useful exercise, because it will highlight whether the problem lies in the kernel modules, or the utilities that enable RAID (mdadm or something else). -- gutsy md module not present in ramdisk https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/133765 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I can confirm this problem too after an upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy, but I don't think that the problem is a missing module (see below).

The md_mod and raid1 modules were loaded (which from a running system seem to be all that are needed). I was unable to use mdadm to activate the md device.

I have tried installing 2.6.22-14-386 in addition to 2.6.22-14-generic (default). neither of these kernels will boot. Are you saying that the 2.6.22-13-386 kernel worked for you as opposed to the 2.6.22-13-generic? Note: its now 14 and not 13... I am still not so sure its got anything to do with the `md' module. My 2.6.20-16-generic from Feisty works fine and it doesn't contain an `md' module.
