hi every one ,
Wondering if any of you experienced this During "Centos5.6" Boot .. !
1)NOT USING MMCONFIG
2)insmod Error inserting `/lib/raid456.ko` -1 File Exist
Dell PowerEdge T110 with 4sata Controllers with Centos2.6.18-238.9.1.el5xen installed .
/boot on /dev/md0
/ on /dev/md1
Regards
See 512892 – mkinitrd can add modules multiple times for more info and eventual fix 
Rebuilding of the initrd may help.
thanks click , straight to the Point 
but still can`t figure it out 
"specifically how to rebuild the initrd"
i`m still new to linux world , almost my 6th month ...
Yes, my bad for beeing so vain
To rebuild the inird you have to
# mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd.$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)
Check the new initrd with
# ls -l /boot/initrd.$(uname -r).img
Then do
# cat /etc/grub.conf
and make sure that the the new initrd is there(it will be since you are not changing the version)
If that dosen`t help you should check /etc/sysconfig/modules/ for dublicate entrys for raid456.ko. If there is remove one of them as shown here
23.6.�Persistent Module Loading
And rebuild the inird as shown above.
Be very careful with this, you can break things
click , Sorry for being too late ..
at all brother , you did a great help .

thanks guys for concern ..
Hi,
According the bug report which I`ve posted earlier this is happening because mkinitrd is adding duplicate entries for the raid456 in case you have more than 1 raid. This is bug in mkinitrd. Those entries should be added to /etc/sysconfig/modules/ because there is where modules are listed in order to be loaded on boot. Since one module cannot be loaded twice(this is what the error is telling) you won`t see duplicate modules with lsmod/modprobe. You have to check the files in /etc/sysconfig/modules/ and find 2 identical one then do chmod -x on one of them. This is at least how I understand this bug.
p.s.
Could you run
mkinitrd -v -f /boot/initrd.$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)
And post the output
well , here you go ..
mkinitrd -v -f /boot/initrd.$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)

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.
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
gunzip mkinitrd.gz
mv /sbin/mkinitrd /sbin/mkinitrd.old
mv ./mkinitrd /sbin/mkinitrd
mkinitrd -v -f /boot/initrd.$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)
Or install the rpm and run
mkinitrd -v -f /boot/initrd.$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)
Since this is not tested, please provide the output before rebooting.
If anything goes wrong do
mv /sbin/mkinitrd.old /sbin/mkinitrd
mkinitrd -v -f /boot/initrd.$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)

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 !

any help attemp with this regard ?
Kind Regards..
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.
# only need to add each module once case " $MODULES " in *" $fmPath "*) return ;; *) MODULES="$MODULES $fmPath" ;; esac
It should go before
Does
gunzip mkinitrd.gz

Works? Do you still get the error after rebooting?
Hello Click , long time no see : ) , i had to finish my MS.Exchange Exam ..

Appreciated ...
Hi Saed, good for you. I`m completely lost if I had to troubleshoot MS Exchange :).
Hmm, could you find the line
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.
case " $(eval echo \${$modlist}) " in
*" $modName "*)
return ;;
*)
eval $modlist=\"\${$modlist} $modName\"
;;
esac
i`m supposing you haven`t found the mkinitrd.pl copy i`ve attached in the last thread
, any way i `ve updated the mkinitrd with the code u sent again.
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 :-
uname -r
2.6.18-238.12.1.el5.centos.plusxen
at /etc/grub.conf
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# root (hd0,0)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/lvm_raid/volroot
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/md0
default=0
timeout=5

module /initrd-2.6.18-238.12.1.el5.centos.plusxen.img
at boot time i cant see the exact kernel version , as it shows
CentOs ( 2.6.18-238.9.1.el5xen)
Centos ( 2.6.18-238-el5xen )
1) why it still showing the insmod Error inserting `/lib/raid456.ko` -1 File Exist if it didn`t add it twice
2) why cant i see my exact kernel version at boot
Regards
I will try to reproduce this in an vm tonight/tomorrow and will came back to you.
It should not show that line with the pached version - this is one of the fixes.
If I get it right you cannot see the kernel avaliable at boot? As per your grub conf you should see the entry of this kernel at boot. Can you try without hiddenmenu flag?
that would be a great help bro ,apologies if i`m causing such a headache :o
yes you got it right , but unfortunately after omitting the "hiddenmenu flag" , nothing new showed up !
also i`ve noticed that after applying the code u provided , and starts to build the initrd image , some of the modules gets ( bad subscriptions )
i dont understands what that should mean ??
waiting for your feedback..
Regards
Sorry for the delay, work and stuff 
Actually the patch from the bug report works perfectly

So to sum up, this bug appears if you have more than 1 RAID5 arrays.
The reason is that the mkinitrd script tryes to load the kernel driver raid456 rwice or more(depends on you raid5 arrays, if you have 300 it will try to load it 300 time)
The fix is rather simple:
# only need to add each module once
# MODULES="$MODULES $fmPath"
case " $MODULES " in
*" $fmPath "*)
return ;;
*)
MODULES="$MODULES $fmPath"
;;
esac
In the attachment you will find the fixed mkinitrd just run
# gunzip mkinitrd.gz
# mv ./mkinitrd /sbin/mkinitrd
# mkinitrd -v -f /boot/initrd.$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)
And we are ready
