Hi, after I upgraded to app-misc/pax-utils-0.7 and sys-kernel/genkernel-3.4.46{.1,.1-r1} I cleaned genkernel's cache in /var/cache/genkernel and regenerated the initramfs using "genkernel initramfs". Then I rebooted the system. The reboot failed, because mdadm was unable to assemble my RAID: http://666kb.com/i/ceqmb2g7b64dlai0r.jpg Booting from a normal, working initramfs on my system looks like: http://666kb.com/i/ceqmbyhwaprw6ongb.jpg I thought this was related to https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=450688 but it seems like genkernel 3.4.46 introduced an mdadm issue. For me, it is a blocker, because my system with mdraid doesn't boot anymore. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install sys-kernel/genkernel-3.4.46{.1,.1-r1}: 2. Make sure /var/cache/genkernel is empty (only src folder exist) 3. Regenerate your initramfs by calling 'genkernel initramfs' Actual Results: >> Detected real_root as a md device.

Hi, (In reply to Richard Yao from comment #2) > The fix for bug #472312 might help with this. It is in genkernel 3.4.47, > which I released this morning. Would you try it and let me know whether it > helps? 3.4.47 did not really help: http://666kb.com/i/cesu5bq2ql1o77yrf.jpg But I noticed, when I press ENTER (I can wait 30min - nothing will happen) I'll get a prompt: http://666kb.com/i/cesu6j1ta4xwfxdq3.jpg Then I can enter my passphrase and everything seems to work.
Since module loading is done asynchronously now, the messages from various modules are printed when genkernel prints the password prompt. The solution here is to somehow suppress the messages from modules right before this prompt appears. I currently do not know how to do that, but the team will look into it. :)

I am not sure if there is also another bug. For example I have set # Specify a custom mdadm.conf. # By default the ramdisk will be built *without* an # mdadm.conf and will auto-detect arrays during bootup. # Usually, this should not be needed. MDADM_CONFIG="/etc/mdadm.conf" So I first see > mdadm: /dev/md0 has been started with 2 drives. > [...] > mdadm: /dev/md1 has been started with 2 drives. as expected, but after that I see > md: Autodetecting RAID arrays. > md: could not open unknown-block(8,17). > md: could not open unknown-block(8,18). > md: could not open unknown-block(8,1). > md: could not open unknown-block(8,2). > md: Scanned 4 and added 0 devices. > md: autorun ... > md: ... autorun DONE. I don't understand why auto-detecing is called, when I provided a mdadm.conf, which is used. BTW, here is another screenshot from another system: http://666kb.com/i/cet161vxcygf0lzgb.jpg As you can see, the prompt is covered from another message.
Where are we on this bug? Is the only issue that the new modprobe method is too noisy (at the wrong times) and is obscuring your passphrase prompt? What kind of crypt setup is this? That should probably be noted too.
Yep, it seems so. The RAID will be assembled (maybe we change the bug title?) on all my systems, but you don't see that at first view because of the md: Autodeecting RAID arrays. md: could not open unknown-block(8,17). md: could not open unknown-block(8,18). md: could not open unknown-block(8,1). md: could not open unknown-block(8,2). md: Scanned 4 and added 0 devices. messages. Then you also have to press ENTER to see the passphrase prompt at all, which is definitely unexpected. But again, the RAID will be assembled at all and everything is working (=the system is bootable). What other information do you need about my system? /boot is unencrupted, ext4 and located on /dev/md0 (mdraid v1.0, RAID 1, 2 disks) /dev/md1 (mdraid v1.2, RAID 1, 2 disks) is my encrypted vault, containing my LVM volumes (/, /home, /var, SWAP...). # cryptsetup status /dev/dm-0 /dev/dm-0 is active and is in use. type: LUKS1 cipher: aes-xts-plain64 keysize: 512 bits device: /dev/md1
Please post your kernel command line (you must have domdadm in it).
Command line: /kernel /kernel domdadm dolvm video=VGA-1:1024x768 video=DVI-1:d crypt_root=UUID=... root=UUID=... rootfs=ext4 initrd=/initramfs
Out of curiosity, is scandelay=5 doing anything good for you?
Yes, scandelay helps. With scandelay (1 second seems to be enough on my system) the USB messages won't cover the passphrase prompt.
Then the regression is caused by removing an unneeded sleep. USB drives are slow to initialize and require a finite but varying delay. I wonder if we could somehow detect if the root filesystem is attached through the USB storage subsystem and then sleep at least N seconds (which is ugly anyways). Or perhaps just use udev and see if it's possible to wait on some kind of events.
Your hardware needs the scandelay option. Please add it on your own system, rather than in the default (no reason to slow everybody down). There is no reliable way to detect slow devices. Eg if you say "all USB", then you delay people with fast USB, as well as cases where the blocking time is in the USB hardware stack, and it's not even presented to the kernel yet.
