Comment 1 Josh Boyer 2013-12-19 17:37:27 UTC
The kernel can't find the rootfs.  This typically means one of two things.  Either you don't have a corresponding initramfs in /boot for the F20 kernel, or your grub configuration file is lacking the initrd line to load it.  Please verify you have a corresponding initramfs file and that the grub config file is loading it in the entry for that kernel.

Comment 2 Slava 2013-12-19 23:13:06 UTC
Hello Josh,
I checked grub.cfg and you correct that missing line initrd.  I added and kernel loading ok. This line is missing after upgrade, because I didn't checked this file before you told me.

We've seen that from time to time.  There is some kind of strange issue in grubby or dracut causing it.

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2015-05-29 10:03:03 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '20'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.
