No you got it right I was wrong in assuming that the module will be in /etc/sysconfig/modules/ as it is external to mine understanding but it looks like it is loaded all together as basic module.

Code:

Adding module raid456
Adding module raid456

If it is appearing twice this means that the module will be included twice - not successful resulting in your error.

So in order to fix this I`m attaching patched version of the mkinitrd this version is also included in this rpm

RPM Search Fedora 7 mkinitrd 6.0.9 rpm

You have to download mkinitrd.gz and run

Code:

gunzip mkinitrd.gz
mv /sbin/mkinitrd /sbin/mkinitrd.old
mv ./mkinitrd /sbin/mkinitrd
mkinitrd -v -f /boot/initrd.$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)

Or install the rpm and run

Code:

mkinitrd -v -f /boot/initrd.$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)

Since this is not tested, please provide the output before rebooting.
If anything goes wrong do

Code:

mv /sbin/mkinitrd.old /sbin/mkinitrd
mkinitrd -v -f /boot/initrd.$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)

i started from here first :-
(1)- downloading/installing the "mkinitrd-6.0.9-7.1.x86_64.rpm"
-some dependencies troubles occurred!, even after satisfying all the missing dependencies , problems were still there !

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
                        package-cleanup --dupes
                        rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

# sure i tried it once more with the options yum suggested :-
1)package-cleanup --dupes
2)package-cleanup --problems
3)rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
4)--skip-broken
All in vain !

(1.B) using rpm -ivh

Code:

rpm -ivh /home/src/mkinitrd-6.0.9-7.1.x86_64\(2\).rpm
warning: /home/src/mkinitrd-6.0.9-7.1.x86_64(2).rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 4f2a6fd2

(1.C)- checking for installed dependincies :-

[code]
yum list installed | grep -i libbdevid
libbdevid-python.x86_64 5.1.19.6-68.el5_6.1 installed

yum list installed | grep -i libdhcp4client

yum list installed | grep -i libdhcp6client

# i tried to install some of the missing dependincies , but i ran into sub-missing dependinces which made the problem even more complex !

You should be OK just with the attached version of the mkinitrd(i`ve just extracted it from the version 6) since version 6 contains some other stuff which you actually don`t need, if you want the hole rpm(as I said it not needed since the bug is only in mkinitrd) you can install it with --nodeps flag of the rpm command. You can also remove the driver from /lib/modules/`uname -r` but you have to locate it and be sure not to delete the two instances of the module which will render your system unbootlable.

This is the actual patch to mkinitrd you can apply it on your current version or use the one which I`ve attached.

Code:

    # only need to add each module once     case " $MODULES " in         *" $fmPath "*)             return ;;         *)             MODULES="$MODULES $fmPath"             ;;     esac

It should go before

Quote:

# need to handle prescsimods here -- they need to go _after_ scsi_mod
if [ "$modName" = "scsi_mod" ]; then

Does

Code:

gunzip mkinitrd.gz
mv /sbin/mkinitrd /sbin/mkinitrd.old
mv ./mkinitrd /sbin/mkinitrd
mkinitrd -v -f /boot/initrd.$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)

Works? Do you still get the error after rebooting?

Hi Saed, good for you. I`m completely lost if I had to troubleshoot MS Exchange

.

Hmm, could you find the line

Quote:

# only need to add each module once

in mkinitrd

and add that below it - make a backup of mkinitrd since I don`t have access to any testing machine right now to try it.

Code:

   case " $(eval echo \${$modlist}) " in
        *" $modName "*)
            return ;;
        *)
            eval $modlist=\"\${$modlist} $modName\"
            ;;
    esac

problem still persists still the same .
please have a look on the attached mkinitrd after update
i`ll be glad if i can give you any help with your MS.exchange : )

Hold it , i forgot to mention something here , after i add the code u provided , rebuilt the image .
although that the image is being created without adding duplicated modules ( should be workin at this point)
i made sure of my kernel Ver and /etc/grub.conf file , even reinstalled grub but still the same !
it shows the following :-

Code:

 uname -r
2.6.18-238.12.1.el5.centos.plusxen

Code:

# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means that
