[linux-lvm] file descriptor 3 left open

[Kapadia, Nayan U.]

Uncompressing Linux booting the kernel
Redhat Nash 4.1.18 starting
File descriptor 3 left open
Reading physical volumes This may take awhile
/dev/hda open failed: No media found
--------------------------------- this is the CDROM
No Volume groups found

mount error 6 mounting ext3 :  22
umount /initrd/dev  failed :2 
kernel panic not syncing attempted to kill init.

Thank you, you lead me to the reason why it was failing.  I had to run
mkinitrd --with=cciss to load the scsi adapter.
 
The file descriptor left open messages are just indications of files
being left in open state?
 
Thanks again!

What do you mean by "not working", the rpm command seems to think the
files are installed... Take a look in /boot/grub/menu.lst and see if the
kernel is in there and it is the default to boot (default = 0 for the
first kernel listed)

	IIRC, these are merely informative messages saying that, "Hey,
the person who called me forgot to close some of their file descriptors,
like they were suppose to. But don't worry, I'll close them for you." 

	That would have been too long though, so I think they chose a
more cryptic message. 

	As far as your kernel installation problem, I'm not sure what's
wrong there... 

	You could 'rpm -q kernel' (or rpm -qa | grep kernel) to see if
it is installed. If it is, you could 'rpm -ql kernel-<the version> |
grep boot' to see if the image was correctly installed...

		I keep seeing "file descriptor 3 left open" at boot
after the initrd is loaded.  The systems boots to the 2.6.9-22.0.1
kernel and works fine.  I have ran fsck against all filesystems however
the error messages still appears.  I noticed that when I run
system-config-lvm these errors are more predominant.

		I recently installed the new kernel 2.6.9-22.0.2 but the
system does not find kernel at boot.  I think the file descriptor
messages are a symptom to some greater problem.  Please help. 
		thank you!
