I keep seeing "file descriptor 3 left open" at boot after the initrd is
loaded. The systems boots to the 2.6.9-22.0.1 kernel and works fine. I
have ran fsck against all filesystems however the error messages still
appears. I noticed that when I run system-config-lvm these errors are
more predominant.
File descriptor 13 left open
File descriptor 3 left open
File descriptor 4 left open
File descriptor 8 left open
File descriptor 9 left open
File descriptor 10 left open
File descriptor 11 left open
File descriptor 12 left open
File descriptor 13 left open
File descriptor 3 left open
File descriptor 4 left open
File descriptor 8 left open
File descriptor 9 left open
File descriptor 10 left open
File descriptor 11 left open
File descriptor 12 left open
File descriptor 13 left open
I recently installed the new kernel 2.6.9-22.0.2 but the system does not
find kernel at boot. I think the file descriptor messages are a symptom
to some greater problem. Please help.
thank you!

IIRC, these are merely informative messages saying that, "Hey, the
person who called me forgot to close some of their file descriptors,
like they were suppose to. But don't worry, I'll close them for you."
That would have been too long though, so I think they chose a more
cryptic message.
As far as your kernel installation problem, I'm not sure what's wrong
there...
You could 'rpm -q kernel' (or rpm -qa | grep kernel) to see if it is
installed. If it is, you could 'rpm -ql kernel-<the version> | grep
boot' to see if the image was correctly installed...

Thanks, but that looks okay to me.
Not working:
rpm -ql kernel-smp-2.6.9-22.0.2.EL |grep boot
/boot/System.map-2.6.9-22.0.2.ELsmp
/boot/config-2.6.9-22.0.2.ELsmp
/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-22.0.2.ELsmp
/lib/modules/2.6.9-22.0.2.ELsmp/kernel/drivers/mtd/redboot.ko
Working:
rpm -ql kernel-smp-2.6.9-22.0.1.EL |grep boot
/boot/System.map-2.6.9-22.0.1.ELsmp
/boot/config-2.6.9-22.0.1.ELsmp
/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-22.0.1.ELsmp
/lib/modules/2.6.9-22.0.1.ELsmp/kernel/drivers/mtd/redboot.ko
Any ideas?

What do you mean by "not working", the rpm command seems to think the
files are installed... Take a look in /boot/grub/menu.lst and see if
the kernel is in there and it is the default to boot (default = 0 for
the first kernel listed)

Thank you, you lead me to the reason why it was failing. I had to run
mkinitrd --with=cciss to load the scsi adapter.
The file descriptor left open messages are just indications of files
being left in open state?
Thanks again!

kernel and works fine. I have ran fsck against all filesystems however
the error messages still appears. I noticed that when I run
system-config-lvm these errors are more predominant.
File descriptor 13 left open
File descriptor 3 left open
File descriptor 4 left open
File descriptor 8 left open
File descriptor 9 left open
File descriptor 10 left open
File descriptor 11 left open
File descriptor 12 left open
File descriptor 13 left open
File descriptor 3 left open
File descriptor 4 left open
File descriptor 8 left open
File descriptor 9 left open
File descriptor 10 left open
File descriptor 11 left open
File descriptor 12 left open
File descriptor 13 left open
I recently installed the new kernel 2.6.9-22.0.2 but the
system does not find kernel at boot. I think the file descriptor
messages are a symptom to some greater problem. Please help.
thank you!
Nayan

Yes. LVM2 commands are run as root so they do have to concern themselves
with potential security problems like that.
This particular message was caused a bug in nash that got fixed a while ago
(and was not considered to affect security).
