New 3.10.0 Kernel

[Faye]

Seems like it fails to start, because it tries to initialize LVM and RAID before AHCI devices are probed. When I've manually activate them with 'lvchange -a a pve' and Ctrl+D out of emergency shell the system finally booted. Will try to play with rootdelay kernel param later.

Yep, it looks as though the same holds for my sas2008i based server too. LVM initialization happens prior to first messages about sda.

'lvm vgchange -a y'
brings all the volumes online.

The fix for scsi users is to change the line in /etc/default/grub:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
and add "scsi_mod.scan=sync"

Yes and I've forgot to mention I've worked around my issue by adding rootdelay=10 to my kernel cmdline.
Basically it just adds a delay (10s value works for me by testing) before trying to do mounts, so that devices could be initialized properly.
Seems like your solution for SCSI are better. If I understand correctly it just sets scan mode to synced, i.e. it waits before all devices are initialized. Probably there are same thing for SATA devices.
pve-kernel maintainers should take such issues into account.

Hi,

Same error here with a Dell PE R620 server, with H710p Raid controller, and 8 500 Go NearLine SAS drives in Raid 10.
At boot, it says 'no controller found', then, 'LVM volume not found', and 'volume pve-root not found'.

In the rescue shell (busybox), 'lvm vgchange -a -y' then Ctrl-D allows to boot normally.

Editing /etc/default/grub, GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT and add "scsi_mod.scan=sync" (after quiet), then grub-update, did the trick, it rebooted without problem.

Thanks for the hint !

Note : it is on a fresh 3.2 install, using the stock kernel in the repository, 3.10.0-1.

I have seen the same in Debian unstable (kernel 3.13). I think it is a bug related to Debian, Redhat and Ubuntu are currently replacing init.d/upstart with systemd.

 

[NStorm]

Just for the record, I've encountered this issue with Supermicro 6027R-3RF4+ platform (Intel C606 controller) with 4xSATA drives in plain AHCI mode (no fakeraid from C606 enabled).

Is it possible to get GitHub updated ? Especially Changelog : https://github.com/proxmox/pve-kernel-3.10.0/blob/master/changelog.Debian

Thank you

The 3.10.0 kernel seems to be missing the cciss driver (for older hp raid controllers, p400 and earlier)... It has the new driver (hpsa) but not the older one, the new driver doesn't support anything below the p410 card. Can this driver be added? It's still supported by the kernel, but is disabled.

Hi, boot kernel with

hpsa.hpsa_allow_any="1" option


it should work with older controllers too

Maybe I missed something basic..
uname -a
Linux proxmox 3.10.0-3-pve #1 SMP Thu Jun 12 13:50:49 CEST 2014 x86_64 GNU/Linux

vzctl start 4042
Directory /proc/vz not found, assuming non-OpenVZ kernel
Container init failed: Cgroup is not mounted

Is the 3.10.0 not able to run OpenVZ containers on purpose?

I see in the Announcement it says no openVZ support.. not sure what the purpose of it is..

Yes, the 3.10 kernel is still experimental for this very reason. If youre feeling adventurous and know the ins and outs of openvz: https://openvz.org/Vzctl_for_upstream_kernel

I am unable to use the pve-test 3.10 Kernel on 3 different systems:

1- supermicro H8DM8-2 motherboard on board nics are not found:

I tried to remove /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules , then reboot. same issue.

Hi, does it work with kernel 3.10.0-3-pve ? (instead 3.10.0-4-pve)

I see that Diemar has updated a lot of drivers (inte,bnx2,..) in -4

#apt-get install pve-kernel-3.10.0-3-pve to install it

Hi,

I see that is an odd nic. I've a bin of intel's so I'll use one of those - on the weekend.
