Interesting.

This would appear to be the similar to: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1063556

Which was fixed by: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/boot/dracut/dracut.git/commit/?id=a0b2c69441f10659cb847cbcf6fa95efdd00289f

But then fixed fully via:
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/boot/dracut/dracut.git/commit/?id=827ec27a9c36755095dda899eff75cdae78b2120

I'll try and prepare an updated dracut package for mga4 shortly.

Could you try dracut-034-12.2.mga4 from core/updates_testing when it hits your local mirror and report back?

Thanks!

I just saw you haven't used our Bugzilla a lot.

Only in case you don't know yet: answering to a bugzilla mail does not work, so please go to https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13814 and report back to Colin in a new comment.

Thanks :-D

Thanks, Marja - but I just did not get around to testing the new package yet.

BTW, I had my share of 'bug interaction' in several distributions. You may find my name as 'upstream' in the usb-modeswitch package.

O.K., just updated dracut to test package dracut-034-12.2.mga4.

Short version: eMMC still not recognized

Long version:

I ran "dracut --force" and a new initrd was generated. Booting with this failed, "/dev/mmcblk0p1 not found".

Unfortunately, I could not save the "rdsosreport.txt" from the debug console as suggested, because there was annother issue with the new initrd which prevented the USB host to work properly; so I could not use any of my keyboards (tried several) and therefore had no control whatsoever.

Anyway, after switching back to my 'custom' initrd, I checked the content of the new initrd. It seems there is still a module missing. My working setup shows this line in "lsmod" output:

mmc_core    120667  3 mmc_block,sdhci,sdhci_pci

The one that is missing in the new initrd is "sdhci_pci". There is only "sdhci" in the "host" subfolder.

No change regarding this dracut problem during the last kernel update (3.14.32-desktop-1.mga4).

Again I had to manually edit the initrd image, add the "sdhci_pci" module and generate updated "modules.dep" files.

I pushed a dracut-034-12.3.mga4 to Core Updates Testing that should hopefully fix this.

Can you test and confirm if it fixes the issue

CC: (none) => tmb

I can confirm that dracut-034-12.3.mga4 from Updates_Testing solves the problem.

The image file created by it boots my system without requiring manual corrections.

Thanks a lot!

Ok, I assume you tested on x86_64 ?

Assigning to QA...

Advisory:
dracut failed to properly add all the needed modules to initrd
for supporting booting from sd cards. This update fixes that.


SRPM:
dracut-034-12.3.mga4.src.rpm

i586:
dracut-034-12.3.mga4.i586.rpm

x86_64:
dracut-034-12.3.mga4.x86_64.rpm

Assignee: mageia => qa-bugs

Sorry - yes, my system with the embedded MMC drive is x86_64.

ok, noting that on whiteboard then...

Whiteboard: (none) => MGA4-64-OK

Tested with kernel updates i586 & x86_64, no regression noted. 

Specific hardware to test the bugfix unavailable but reported fixed by Josua in comment 8.

Please push to 4 updates

Thanks
