 Posted: Mon Dec 07, 2009 11:05 pm Post subject: kernel and lvm error CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED |
 |
|
I have installed the recently marked amd64 stable udev and lvm.
I had to first unmerge device-mapper as it blocked the new ebuilds.
| Code: |
# emerge -C sys-fs/device-mapper
# emerge util-linux e2fsprogs lvm2 udev
# qlop -l | tail -n 5
Mon Dec 7 16:57:11 2009 >>> sys-libs/e2fsprogs-libs-1.41.9
Mon Dec 7 16:59:13 2009 >>> sys-apps/util-linux-2.16.1
Mon Dec 7 17:01:26 2009 >>> sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.41.9
Mon Dec 7 17:03:04 2009 >>> sys-fs/lvm2-2.02.51-r1
Mon Dec 7 17:04:13 2009 >>> sys-fs/udev-146-r1
|
My problem is as follows.
My hard drive is formatted as a /boot partition, plus LVM2 logical devices.
/root is a LVM2 logical device.
I use genkernel to build the kernel.
When I boot the computer, udev provides the following error message.
| Code: | | udevd[1301]: udev: missing sysfs features; please update the kernel or disable the kernel's CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED option; udev may fail to work correctly |
The computer then continues to boot normally.
If I rebuild the kernel with CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED disabled, then the kernel cannot find the root partition at boot-time. It prompts for the root partition device or to run a shell.
My grub.conf file contains:
| Code: |
title=Gentoo Linux (2.6.31-gentoo-r6kith2)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /kernel-genkernel-x86_64-2.6.31-gentoo-r6kith2 real_root=LABEL=root dolvm softlevel=default video=uvesafb:1680x1050-32,mtrr:3,ywrap usbcore.autosuspend=1 CONSOLE=/dev/tty1
initrd /initramfs-genkernel-x86_64-2.6.31-gentoo-r6kith2
title=Gentoo Linux (2.6.29-gentoo-r6kith2)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /kernel-genkernel-x86_64-2.6.29-gentoo-r6kith2 real_root=LABEL=root dolvm softlevel=default video=uvesafb:1680x1050-32,mtrr:3,ywrap usbcore.autosuspend=1 CONSOLE=/dev/tty1
initrd /initramfs-genkernel-x86_64-2.6.29-gentoo-r6kith2

The behavior is identical for both kernel versions.

| Your problem is most likely genkernel. |

Right. It occurs to me now that genkernel creates its own mini-distribution of tools, e2fs, lvm2, busybox, etc.
Perhaps the versions are too old.
