blkid as contained in the default linuxrc for genkernel will return more than 1 devices when attempting to boot using a UUID with a multipath device. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Build a new kernel, etc. using genkernel --disklabel --multipath on a system with a multipath boot device. 2. Attempt to boot using a UUID in grub.conf 3. Actual results: This causes a device not found error on boot (more than 1 device is echo'd to the console). Expected results: System boots using a UUID. The fix is to add the -l flag ("lookup the the first device with arguments specified by -t"). The only downside would be if the 1st device is down, but the latter device(s) were not. stimpy ~ # diff /usr/share/genkernel/defaults/linuxrc /usr/share/genkernel/defaults/linuxrc~ 291c291 < RESUME_DEV=`blkid -l -t "${REAL_RESUME}" | cut -d ":" -f 1 2>/dev/null` --- > RESUME_DEV=`blkid -t "${REAL_RESUME}" | cut -d ":" -f 1 2>/dev/null` 400c400 < ROOT_DEV=`blkid -l -t "${REAL_ROOT}" | cut -d ":" -f 1 2>/dev/null` --- > ROOT_DEV=`blkid -t "${REAL_ROOT}" | cut -d ":" -f 1 2>/dev/null`
This sounds like the issue just fixed with bug #303531. I will close this bug as a duplicate despite the fact that you reported it earlier, as I have process the other one already. If it turns out that these bugs are not the same, please re-open this bug. Thanks for reporting! http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/genkernel.git;a=commitdiff;h=e590a493ead9a21e356215b5394172717b0f615d *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 303531 ***
