Okay for the last couple of days.. the kernel installs on this rawhide box have been hanging up during install.. via rpm or yum... I have to break out of the process. I've traced it down to mkinitrd in the postinstall script of the kernel package. mkinitrd hanging but I dont know why and I don't know how to troubleshoot it any further than this. For example after i rpm -ivh --noscripts /var/cache/yum/development/packages/kernel-2.6.14-1.1660_FC5.i686.rpm to get the 1660 kernel installed I run the postinstall script items manually /usr/sbin/module_upgrade 2.6.14-1.1660_FC5 seems to work as expected the new-kernel-pkg script however fails to return after several minutes. Stepping it through it I finally get to to mkinitrd step which i do manually with verbosity on: /sbin/mkinitrd -v --allow-missing -f /boot/initrd-2.6.14-1.1660_FC5.img 2.6.14-1.1660_FC5 Creating initramfs Looking for deps of module ide-disk ----it just hangs there----- Anyone have any clue exactly why this is screwing up on my system? As far as i can tell none of the kernels i have installed actually have an ide-disk module so I'm not sure my mkinitrd is doing this check.
