2.6.25-1 kernel won't load

[yesterday]

Anyone tried the latest 2.6.25-1.fc9 kernel from the rawhide repositories? I updated last night from the preview release, but that kernel won't boot. It has something about ext3-fs not being able to recognise "relatime". I think relatime is a default option? However, it's not in my fstab anywhere.

Hello:
Yes, I have tried it and it worked just fine ?

Haven't checked any details, but I can if you like.

Hi Seve, maybe you can post your fstab here for me to have a look at?

hmmm weird there it's prett much the same as mine. Just to confirm you are using 2.6.25-1 right? not the rc-git version?


EDIT: Looking at BugZilla I seemed to have found the problem. Thanks for your help anyway

Hello:
This is the image / kernel that I last booted with
initrd-2.6.25-1.fc9.x86_64.img

Can you link to the bz in case other people have the same issue?

It's actually a fairly well known issue .
It's listed here (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelCommonProblems) under section 1.3. Basically if relatime is present for / in fstab, when you update your kernel or run mkinitrd, the initrd image will throw errors. Rebuilding the initrd image without relatime in the listed as an option for / fixes this
