After I was reassigned to the Grub component I started checking and found the device.map files different. I don't know if this has any bearing but it seems as though the number and names of devices have changed. Does this help. # this device map was generated by anaconda *my note* on 1rst hard drive by FC2 (fd0) /dev/fd0 (hd0) /dev/hde # this device map was generated by anaconda *my note* on 2nd hard drive by FC3 (fd0) /dev/fd0 (hd0) /dev/sda (hd1) /dev/sdb This is the fstab and mtab files on the 2nd drive /dev/sdb w\FC3 fstab: # This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 /dev/sda2 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hda /media/cdrecorder auto pamconsole,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t,ro,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto pamconsole,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 mtab: /dev/sdb1 / ext3 rw 0 0 none /proc proc rw 0 0 none /sys sysfs rw 0 0 none /dev/pts devpts rw,gid=5,mode=620 0 0 usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs rw 0 0 none /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc binfmt_misc rw 0 0 sunrpc /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs rpc_pipefs rw 0 0 The mount error turned out to be a typo, however, Grub is still broke. The system gets to Red Hat nash version 3.5.22 starting and hangs. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: I was nervous about upgrading from FC2 to FC3 so I installed FC3 on a 2nd SATA drive. I let GRUB install and added the FC2 OS to GRUB during the install process. I can now boot to FC3 fine but FC2 errored and when I looked at the GRUB commands they had been written as if it where Windows with rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1 I deleted those commands and added the original GRUB command from the grub.conf file on the FC2 installation. root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8-1.521 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.8-1.521.img This starts to load but after displaying: Red Hat nash version 3.5.22 starting I get a mount error: mount: error 6 mounting ext3 pivot: pivot_root(/sysroot,/sysroot/initrd) faliled: 2 umount /initrd/proc failed: 2 kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init=option to kernel. I have searched around to find similar problems and errors that have to do with kernel support for ext3 but I don't see how it could be related since my FC2 installation worked fine before. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.9-1.667 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Have perfectly fine FC2 installation on 1 drive. 2.Install FC3 on second drive and can boot to it with GRUB. 3.Select FC2 OS from GRUB and get errors listed above. Actual Results: got errors Expected Results: boot to FC2 OS on first drive Additional info: I'm assuming it to be a kernel issue. The same GRUB commands worked previously with the FC2 OS without error.
