Kernel fails to mount fakeraid partitions because libdmraid-events-isw is not found

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.3 (KHTML, like Gecko) konqueror/4.4.90 Safari/533.3 I've got a serious kernel RAID issue after upgrading to openSUSE-11.3 and kernel 2.6.34-12. At boot the kernel fails to load RAID partitions on the discovered RAID sets. The RAID setup is an intel software raid aka fakeraid or "Intel Matrix Storage", the first set is a RAID0 and contains the swap,root and boot partititions. Grub seems to mount them nicely as it loads the kernel from boot (on RAID0), but the kernel itself fails with the error message that can be seen in the screenshot. After failed attempts one is dropped to a minimal bash environment, where the dmraid and dmsetup tools fail to activate or even find the partititons. The RAID sets are found and enabled just fine however. Nonetheless, all partitions are good, they can be mounted happily with an openSUSE-11.2 Live-CD, altough the naming scheme differs. This is probably related to bug #594388 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have working openSUSE-11.2 partitions on an intel matrix storage (fakeraid) RAID0 set 2. Update to openSUSE-11.2 RC2 / Factory 3. Reboot Actual Results: Kernel immediately stop, altough grub seems to find the partititions nicely. Drop to kernel shell, mdraid and dmsetup tools fail to find the partitions Expected Results: Partitions should be found and mounted

Ok, it's a duplicate of bug 598193 starting from comment #89 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 598193 ***
Same happen to me - upgrade from 11.2 to 11.3 RC1 - unable to mount "/" - rudimentary bash environment available - RAID on Nvidia nforce chipset 570 (ca 2 yr old system)
