grub.conf
my grub.conf file with the sections using the old kernel and the FC3 kernel
(marked "does not work")
This looks like the same bug I reported in 139143 I installed FC3 on my pc (Asus P4P800, 2.8 MHz CPU, 1 Sata 120 GB HD, ATi Radeon 9600 VGA, 1 GB MEM) and the default kernel (kernel-smp-2.6.9-1.667) is working ok. When I done yum update, the new kernel (kernel-smp-2.6.9-1.678_FC3) is hang same kernel panic. An update has been released for Fedora Core 3 (kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3) which may contain a fix for your problem. Please update to this new kernel, and report whether or not it fixes your problem. If you have updated to Fedora Core 4 since this bug was opened, and the problem still occurs with the latest updates for that release, please change the version field of this bug to 'fc4'. Thank you. this still reproduces with the updated kernel (2.6.12-1.1372_FC3). I have not had a chance to upgrade to FC4 this still reproduces with the updated kernel (2.6.12-1.1372_FC3). I have not had a chance to upgrade to FC4 can you make sure you have the latest updated mkinitrd package installed ? If not, update it, then remove and reinstall the kernel update. If you still have problems, can you attach your /etc/modprobe.conf please ? |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040207 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: My system has /boot located on /dev/hda3 and root filesystem located on /dev/hda5. After I upgraded from FC2 to FC3, the system kernel panics on boot. I booted to a rescue CD and editted grub to point to a previous kernel, that got me a usable system. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.9-1.667 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. get FC2 system 2. upgrade 3. boot Actual Results: kernel panic Expected Results: successful boot Additional info: Error log (I could not capture it so I'm typing this by hand) <message of Nash starting> mount: missing device ERROR: failed in exec of defaults ERROR: failed in exec of ext3 mount: error 2 mounting none switchroot: mount failed 22 umount /initrd/dev failed: 2 ERROR: failed in exec of ext3 mount: error 2 mounting none switchroot: mount failed 22 umount /initrd/dev failed: 2 ERROR: defaults exited abnormally ERROR: failed in exec of ext3 mount: error 2 mounting none switchroot: mount failed 22 umount /initrd/dev failed: 2 ERROR: failed in exec of ext3 mount: error 2 mounting none switchroot: mount failed 22 umount /initrd/dev failed: 2 Kernel panic, not synching, attempted to kill init.
