I'm not sure what you mean. There root volume is replicate/afr, but
there is only one node active (I haven't bothered building the 2nd node
yet).
The init scripts don't change any permissions during boot. What I
mentioned below is happening in rc.sysinit.
If permissions were the problem, the init process wouldn't just lock up
- if execute permission wasn't there it would just skip executing the
script, which is what I forced by chmodding -x the udev-stw.modules script.

Gordan,
were the permissions changed being over replicate by any chance?.
can you write an additional script to check for the permission of files
or atleast have a dump to compare permissions over replicate and without
it.

As suspected, chmod -x /etc/sysconfig/modules/udev-stw.modules fixes
the immediate problem. It would appear things like:
for file in /etc/sysconfig/modules/*.modules ; do
[ -x $file ] && $file
done
seem to cause it to lock up.
Unfortunately, that sort of thing happens all over the place in the
boot scripts, and now it locks up a few steps later. The last
version this worked with was rc2 (possibly rc3, I haven't tested
it). It's definitely not working on rc4 and rc5.

2.0.0rc2 didn't have this problem.
Can you try rc5? Though still it is still under QA, you
might want to
give it a try since some transport related code changes have
gone it
which might be the reason for your lockup.
The lock-up still occurs with rc5.
I've done some more digging, however. It appears to die at this
pint in rc.sysinit, between debug 3 and debug 4:
#################
echo "debug 3"
# Load other user-defined modules
for file in /etc/sysconfig/modules/*.modules ; do
[ -x $file ] && $file
done
# Load modules (for backward compatibility with VARs)
if [ -f /etc/rc.modules ]; then
/etc/rc.modules
fi
echo "debug 4"
#################
There is no rc.modules file, so contents of that can be ruled out.
# ls -l /etc/sysconfig/modules/
total 8
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 100 May 25 2008 udev-stw.modules
# cat /etc/sysconfig/modules/udev-stw.modules
#!/bin/sh
for i in nvram floppy parport lp snd-powermac;do
modprobe $i >/dev/null 2>&1
done
I have just rebuilt my initrds separately with rc2 and rc5. rc2
works fine, rc5 fails. No other changes to the system between
the two attempts.
Oh, and the first access failure bug is still there.
I couldn't test for the memory leak in rc5 since I couldn't get
it to boot due to the lock-up mentioned above.
I'll try disabling those modules listed above since I don't need
them on this setup, but I can confirm that modprobe itself works
fine. So it sounds like a problem/bug elsewhere. Possibly a
buffer-overrun somewhere that gets triggered by rc4/rc5.
BTW, in case it's relevant, I'm using the fuse kernel module
from 2.6.24.7, rather than the one from the patched package,
because the one in the kernel appears to be later. Can anyone
confirm if there are any known problems with this? Is there any
strong reason why I should use a different kernel module (e.g.
one from the patched fuse 2.7.4 package)?
