Hello, I'm having a strange problem booting a new centos7 installation. Below some background on this. [I have attached the tech details at the bottom of this message] I started a new CentOS7 installation on a VM, so far all good, o/s boots fine. Then I decided to increase VM disk size (initially was 10G) to 13G. Powered off the VM, increased the vhd via the hypervisor, booted from CentOS

The plugin was breaking when a device with a wildcard was passed. rhbz#725964 Signed-off-by: Mike Burns <mburns at redhat.com> --- dracut/install | 1 + dracut/ovirt-cleanup.sh | 8 ++++---- scripts/ovirt-boot-functions | 2 +- 3 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/dracut/install b/dracut/install index f3f2f07..1832b89 100755 ---

Initially, I just rebooted from LiveCD and left Grub,kernel and dracut do their job with the defaults, but unfortunately, boot process stops at initrd (dracut) stage with the following error: [ 197.768159] localhost.localdomain dracut-initqueue[252]: Warning: Could > not

when specifying a list of devices, one with a wildcard, the dracut plugin would attempt to use all devices matching the wildcard instead of just the first device. Ex. storage_init=/dev/vd*,/dev/sda should match /dev/vda and /dev/sda only, but if /dev/vdb, /dev/vdc etc existed, it would match all of those as well. rhbz#726843 Signed-off-by: Mike Burns <mburns at redhat.com> ---

Normally, rd.lvm.lv=centos/root and rd.lvm.lv=centos/swap are the kernel parameters which are parsed to dracut for enablig the two LVs, but somehow dracut does not. I've copied the log from

greetings, had problems burning a dvd for 6.4, so i burned a livecd and installed it from boot menu to ext4 /dev/sdb3. during install, i defined mounting of /dev/sdb5 as /home and a second partition /dev/sdb6. both are ext4. first boot went well, set up user, rebooted. rebooted level 5, logged in as user, all looked good. rebooted level 5, logged in as root, made changes to

I've just tried putting usr in a subvol. Installation proceeds normally, no errors, but I'm dropped to a dracut prompt which indicates mount of /usr failed. dmesg follows: [ 14.025215] systemd[1]: Starting dracut initqueue hook... [ 14.077890] Btrfs loaded [ 14.129987] device label fedora_f18v devid 1 transid 31 /dev/sda1 [ 14.313607] device label fedora_f18v devid 1 transid 31

Finally, I was able to find a solution for this. I'm posting the result here, just in case that it's useful for someone else in the future ... The problem was not in initramfs (dracut), but on the fact that /dev/sda2 partition(PV), after I resized it, somehow got 2 partition table signatures. One was set as a "dos" partition with an offset "0x1fe" and second set as

Thanks all for the advice. It seems there is an issue with Dracut booting from these hosts when LVM is used. dracut: Scanning devices sda2 for LVM logical volumes VolGroup/lv_swap VolGroup/lv_root dracut: inactive '/dev/VolGroup/lv_swap' [1.94 GiB] inherit dracut: inactive '/dev/VolGroup/lv_root' [230.69 GiB] inherit dracut: PARTIAL MODE.

Suggestion: once it's up, rebuild the initramfs. > > I tried that already, but still the same problem. Aparently dracut does not want to activate the LVs required to boot to the root filesystem, for some reason ... Yannis -- Sent from Gmail Mobile
