Even with an installation of FC-6 with no RAID partitions, booting stops with the same error messages. Partitions were: sda1 ntfs (Win XP) sda2 ext3 (Linux root) sda3 swap (swap) GRUB stops with message "GRUB loading stage2", but LILO isntalls without warnings and boot properly Win XP: The disk is ATA Model:ST3120827AS Rev:3.42 Fedora apologizes that these issues have not been resolved yet.

Description of problem: Hi, I successfully installed FC-6 in a computer with PATA hard disk but when installing it in a computer with SATA/RAID disk, the kernel booting stops with a "kernel panic - not syncing" message. The computer have mother board K8T800 PRO and a SATA/RAID disk (VT8237) The messages during the aborted booting of FC-6_x86_64 are of the form, ... Found volume group "VolGroup00" now active Try to resume from /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 No suspend signature on swap, not resuming ... creating root device Mounting root file system mount: could not find file system '/dev/root' ... and other error messages showing that the system seems to be unable to mount swap, root, /proc and other several file systems. The disk partitions according, anaconda installer were: /dev/sda1 Win XP ntfs /dev/sda2 /boot ext3 /dev/sda3 VolGroup00 LVMPV LogVol00 / ext3 LogVol01 swap swap Since GRUB stops in STAGE2, I use LILO as boot loader. Installing lilo, it gives the following warning: '/proc/partitions' does not match '/dev' directory structure. Name change: "/dev/dm-0 --> '/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00" "/dev/dm-1 --> '/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01" I have done some changes in the fstab file but I were unable to fix the problem. After booting in "linux rescue mode", fstab file reads as follows: /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 ... ... /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0 mstab file: /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 rw,defaults 0 0 /dev/sda2 /boot ext3 rw,defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc rw,defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs rw,defaults 0 0 /dev/sysfs /sys sysfs rw,defaults 0 0 Reading '/proc/partitions' shows: 7 0 80204 loop0 8 0 117220824 sda 8 1 35840983 sda1 8 2 104420 sda2 8 3 81272835 sda3 253 0 79200256 dm-0 253 1 2031616 dm-1 Despite the lilo warning message, Win XP boots properly. Any help please to boot successfully FC-6 ? (FC-3 and FC-4 fail also in the same way). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
