yum FUTEX_WAIT and kernel not finding volgroups

[Adam Pribyl]

During weekend I updated to current rawhide and I'm locked in 
"unupgradable" state.
Fist the new kernel (2.6.20-1.2947) install created broken initrd. This I 
fixed by making new one (I hope).

Then when I tried to use this kernel, it panics, 
because it can not find any volgroup00 on the disk.

Booting with older kernel 2.6.18-2798 I have is fine, but when I try to 
run yum or rpm it hangs. Stracing the process reveals it locks on 
FUTEX_WAIT (probably kernel related).

How can i get out of this state?

Thanks

I have problem with the newer kernels too...
My volume groups works in .2925 but not in any later ones.
I get a kernel panic too... after it says it can't find any volume groups
and no root file system...

Is there a bugzilla opened for the FUTEX_WAIT prob?  This is the one I found for
the
same error I'm seeing:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=228977

Seems answer is yes: bug #212504

Even thought I tried to rebuilddb before reporting this. It seems that
really you have to rebuilddb more time or something to work around
FUTEX_WAIT problem.

Thanks to Michal Jaegermann, to pointing to that.

No more information there. Related to IDE changes?
