Description Stig-Ørjan Smelror 2017-10-27 18:37:43 CEST

I just installed kernel-server-4.13.10 and was unable to boot.

Support for XFS is missing and that's what I'm using.

$ rpm -qa | grep 4.13.10
kernel-server-4.13.10-1.mga6-1-1.mga6
cpupower-4.13.10-1.mga6
kernel-server-latest-4.13.10-1.mga6
kernel-source-latest-4.13.10-1.mga6
kernel-source-4.13.10-1.mga6-1-1.mga6

Will do a custom compilation just to test the new kernel.

Cheers,
Stig

Nope, not missing

Yes, I saw that.

But it's not present when the kernel is booting.

Booted without "splash quiet" and was dropped to a debug shell. Took a look in /lib/modules/4.13.10-server-1.mga6/kernel/fs and xfs was not there.

Whatever it is, xfs is not included.

Will try with "dracut -f" to see if I can get xfs.

Cheers,
Stig

This is the contents of initrd-4.13.10-server-1.mga6.img that gets installed on my computer.

I've only included the "kernel/fs" entries.

Comment 6 Thomas Backlund 2017-10-27 20:14:27 CEST

does it work if you do:

dracut -f --add-drivers xfs

Comment 7 Stig-Ørjan Smelror 2017-10-27 20:50:38 CEST

Thomas.

Yes, adding the xfs module worked.

$ uname -a
Linux monster 4.13.10-server-1.mga6 #1 SMP Fri Oct 27 09:59:35 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Do you know why this wasn't added automatically?
I've always been able to boot with the 4.9.x kernels with xfs on my root filesystem.

Cheers,
Stig

Old kernel no longer relevant.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED
