Hi,
I know that YDL 6.0 is now out, however, I was installing
YDL 5.0.2 the other day, on a system were I have decided to
use separate disks/partitions for root (/) and /usr.
Normally this would not be a problem, however with YDL 5.x
it is
After installation, the system boots, however, /sbin/fsck
and /sbin/mount fail on start up, and the system drops to
single user (disk repair mode). The error one gets is that
libdevmapper.so.1.02 is not found. Now this is very
worrying, as in my books, /sbin/fsck and /sbin/mount should
be static binaries, or at least be able to find their shared
libs.
Anyway, I booted into "rescue" mode from the
install media, and found the library libdevmapper.so.1.02
in /usr/lib! I copied the library to /lib and rebooted. Now
all is fine.
I looked on a Fedora 8 install I have, and
libdevmapper.so.1.02 is in /lib by default.
Why did YDL not place libdevmapper.so.1.02 in /lib were it
should be? Especially as fsck and mount are not static
binaries, and critical binaries for system start up.
I think this is a serious bug, and if not fixed in YDL 6.0
should be fixed. I am going to have a look at 6.0 as soon as
I get a chance.
I know that normal people who install everything in one
partition would never have this problem, but from a purists
point of view, it needs to be fixed  .
Kind Regards,
Andre'
