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

# modinfo xfs

Comment 2 Stig-Ørjan Smelror 2017-10-27 19:05:20 CEST 
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

lsinitrd-initrd-4.13.10-server-1.mga6.img

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
