Subject: Fatal: LVM_GET_IOP_VERSION failed on /dev/lvm

Package: lilo
Version: 1:22.6.1-6
Severity: grave

Hello, trying to update to the Ubuntu (also tried with Sid version),
lilo fails on two points where the Woody version worked just fine.
The first is a minor issue: for (bogus) redundancy reasons, two harddisks were
declared in lilo.conf and mapped to bios=0x80. However, the new version just
forbids that for no reason. This problem is already reported in another bug
report.

Second, and the most annoying: it fails to work with /boot on a
LVM-over-Raid1. Woody version (downgraded) works 1a, but Ubuntu and Sid
versions exit with the errors listed below. It should also be mentioned that
there is no /dev/lvm, the group is called sys and the root volume is
/dev/sys/boot, mounted as /boot.

And the final problem is: the upgrade does NOT FAIL (thus the severity). Yes,
the boot loader has been fscked up and I did not notice it before the next
boot and it was not fun to get a recent KNOPPIX for this box :(

Hi Eduard,

I gather that you're using devfs here. Although it seems that mounting
devfs gives me a system without /dev/lvm, nevertheless running lilo -t -v 3
here on an all-LVM system doesn't give me the errors you describe. Can you
reproduce this problem on your own system when running lilo -t -v 3, or does
it only manifest when not in test mode?

You comment in the bug report that this is grave because the bootloader is
screwed up in the process. Did lilo actually overwrite the MBR, in spite of
the LVM errors? Or was this error caused by the reshuffling of /boot files
between the woody and sarge versions of lilo? lilo could run without the
'|| true' on install to make the errors more apparent; I'm just not sure if
this is the most appropriate fix.

Cheers,

It happens in test mode as well (attached).

This must be the reason, the files have been replaced but the boot block
has not been updated. The proper fix would be a roll-back function
(which we do not have yet in dpkg) or an upstream fix.

Next weekend, I could try to upgrade to kernel 2.6 and lvm2 and look
what happens then, but the issue is still there - a normal upgrade
from Woody failed silently and let the system in unbootable state.

Regards,
Eduard.

retitle 304260 lilo ignores failures on upgrade, leaving the system silently unbootable
thanks

Ok, there are two bugs here. The first bug, that the current version of
lilo doesn't play nicely with lvm in some cases, is of lower priority and
hard to fix (AFAICT). The second bug, that lilo silently discards fatal
errors from /sbin/lilo when upgrading, is release critical. I intend to NMU
for the second of these bugs.

Hello Steve,
This patch is a noop, because lilo.postinst does not 'set -x', (which is
yet another policy violation), so the error status of lilo is ignored
anyway. This caused problems in upgrade-report bug #310653.

Ok, there are two bugs here. The first bug, that the current version of
lilo doesn't play nicely with lvm in some cases, is of lower priority and
hard to fix (AFAICT). The second bug, that lilo silently discards fatal

Hello Steve,
This patch is a noop, because lilo.postinst does not 'set -x', (which is
yet another policy violation), so the error status of lilo is ignored
anyway. This caused problems in upgrade-report bug #310653.

Cheers,

Thanks for catching this. Looks like another upload is needed. :/
