Log Output

On Bug 27559, user complained about a system peripheral not been recognized by Mageia operating system but Windows can.

It appears that at this time "uname -r" returned "5.1.14-desktop-1.mga7", which as Martin W. pinpointed that is the Classical Iso Installer Kernel. This system appeared to not been updated but user claimed the opposite.

$ ls /boot returned:

And user said:
"That is odd. When I boot using grub, I just select 'mageia' There are the usual options, mageia, mageia recovery (paraphrasing), and windows."

Later in this previous report, user mentioned a RAID array on his system:
While updating Kernel and RAID array plugged in: See Attachment Log Output.
User comment:
"the message about /dev/sdb is because I have a 4 disk mdadm raid array.
I reported a bug about some tools getting confused by a mdadm raid array.
I can pull the drives if needed, because they are in hot swap trays".

@Jeff,

Can you provide these files:

/etc/fstab

Keywords: (none) => NEEDINFO

Comment 2 jeff deifik 2020-11-09 14:12:23 CET

/etc/fstab:

# Entry for /dev/sda5 :
UUID=c33317eb-1f71-4c61-ab6d-0238cc2a4aef / ext4 relatime,acl 1 1
# Entry for /dev/sda3 :

none /proc proc defaults 0 0

There was no newline at the end of the file; I added one just now.

Also, here is my mdadm.conf file:

Comment 4 Martin Whitaker 2020-11-10 12:59:30 CET

The root cause is the same as bug 26707. fsedit::get_hds() fails with a fatal error when inspecting the mdadm array. This causes /sbin/bootloader-config to exit with an error, which means the remaining kernel post-install actions are not executed.

@reporter, if this bug still apply with Mageia 8, please let us know it.

@packager, if you work on the Mageia 7 version of your package, please check the Mageia 8 package if issue is also present. In this case, please fix the Mageia 8 version instead.

This bug report will be closed OLD if there is no further notice within 1st September 2021.

Comment 6 Marja Van Waes 2021-09-07 14:09:59 CEST

Hi bug reporter and hi assignee and others involved,

Please reopen this bug report if it is still valid for Mageia 8 or 9(cauldron), and change "Version:" in the upper left of this report accordingly.

This report is being closed as OLD because it was filed against Mageia 7, for which  support ended on June 30th 2021.

Thanks,
Marja
