(typo - FC6 is on hda4, not hda5. Sorry for the fumble fingers) Here is a screenshot of my panicing kernel: http://www.fedoraforum.org/gallery/showimage.php?i=3021 Try "root=/dev/hda4". You might also have to edit /etc/fstab and change everything in there to point to the right filesystems. In general multiple Fedora installs will cause problems because they all think they own the label "/". Well, it's fixed but the fault was mine to start out with. I had problems with Fedora7-T1 and mounted it in fstab to make the correction, however I did not correct fstab once the problem was solved. That's where the 'hdb1' was found. Unfortunately, simply removing the fstab entry did not correct the problem and I had to remove and then reinstall the problem kernels and kmods. Once reinstalled, all works perfectly. |
Description of problem: This kernel results in a Kernel Panic for me. Here's the kernel selection from /boot/grub/grub.conf: title Fedora Core (2.6.19-1.2911.6.4.fc6) root (hd0,3) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.19-1.2911.6.4.fc6 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet /dev/hdb1 initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.19-1.2911.6.4.fc6.img In fact, FC6 is on hda5, not on hdb1, which is actually the T-2 for Fedora7. Removing rhgb quiet and /dev/hdb1 results in the same kernel panic. Here's the lines leading up to it: mkroot: expected fs options mount: missing mount point setting up new root fs setuproot: moving /dev failed no such file or directory no fstab.sys, mounting internal defaults setuproot: error mounting /proce: no such file or directory setuproot: error mounting /sys: no such file or directory switching to new root and running init. unmounting old /dev unmounting old /proc unmounting old /sys switchroot: mount failed: no such file or directory kernel panic - not syncing: attempted to kill init! Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel 2.6.19-1.2911.6.4.fc6 How reproducible: every attempt to boot Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: kernel 2.6.19-1.2911.fc6 and prior kernels all work fine
