This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '23'. 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 23 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. Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
Created attachment 1120374 [details] Original grub config. Description of problem: Fedora 23 Xfce was installed from a USB flash drive (Fedora Xfce Live). During live session, the node of USB drive was sda, while the SATA hard drive for the new installation had a node of sdb. After the installation, the USB drive was extracted. On new boot, the hard drive received an sda node and the system booted into emergency mode, as root=/dev/sdb1 was not found. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 23 Xfce (Fedora-Live-Xfce-x86_64-23-10) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora to HDD from live session. 2. Extract live USB and reboot. Fix: After the installation, boot from USB again and edit grub.cfg (yes, the one that says "DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE") in boot/grub2 of the newly created installation on hard drive. Replace root=/dev/sd* with root=UUID=<root partition UUID>. Reboot. Please consider the attached grub.cfg.bkp (the original one).
