Re: Fc2 Vfs kernel panic after upgrade from Fc1 using Volume Management

Thank you for the reply! I did some searching for lvm & fedora core and did find similar issues with the upgrade of FC1->FC2t3 .. I upgraded from CDROM and Anaconda. However I have some interesting news. If I install a clean FC2 with / and swap on LVM I get the same Vfs panic. I think this may be more basic and illustrate the problem better.

Here is the anaconda-ks.cfg ...

How did you upgrade? Anaconda, or up2date, yum or something else that couldn't possibly have fixed things up?

I don't know whether Anaconda does anything to fix LVM upgrades, but I
vaguely remember some note about this not working in FC2 test releases
Release Notes, and I can't find it in the FC2 final release notes, so
I assume it should work.

Anyhow, if it doesn't, or if you chose one of the other upgrade paths,
the way to fix it is to remove the LVM1 device nodes from the VG
directories.  After that, a reboot should fix things up.  If it
doesn't, run as root, after entering the password when the system
fails to boot up:

mount -o remount,rw /
echo mkdmnod | nash
vgscan
vgchange -ay
vgmknodes

this was required in early FC2 test releases, when initrd attempted to
use device nodes from the root filesystem, instead of from initrd.
I don't think this should still be necessary, but if everything else
fails, it's worth a shot.


After setting things up, you may want to re-create initrd, just in case.
