Also note that this problem was also present with 2.6.9-55.0.2.ELsmp. Booting with the non-smp kernel have the same result. Jean-Francois -- could you boot with "debug" instead of "quiet" on the command line and post the boot log here? Thanks, P. I added debug to menu.lst file and got the exact same logs. Please let me know if the grub syntax is incorrect. Here is the content of /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/menu.lst: /etc/fstab: # This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 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 LABEL=SWAP-hda2 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hdc /media/cdrom auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 /boot/grub/menu.lst # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg. # root (hd0,0) # kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda3 # initrd /initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/hda default=1 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS (2.6.9-55.0.6.EL) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-55.0.6.EL ro root=LABEL=/ initrd /initrd-2.6.9-55.0.6.EL.img title Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS (2.6.9-55.0.6.ELsmp) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-55.0.6.ELsmp ro root=LABEL=/ debug initrd /initrd-2.6.9-55.0.6.ELsmp.img title Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS (2.6.9-55.0.2.EL.bworks) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-55.0.2.EL.bworks ro root=LABEL=/ initrd /initrd-2.6.9-55.0.2.EL.bworks.img title Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS (2.6.9-55.0.2.EL.bworkssmp) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-55.0.2.EL.bworkssmp ro root=LABEL=/ initrd /initrd-2.6.9-55.0.2.EL.bworkssmp.img title Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS (2.6.9-5.ELsmp) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-5.ELsmp ro root=LABEL=/ initrd /initrd-2.6.9-5.ELsmp.img title Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS-up (2.6.9-5.EL) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-5.EL ro root=LABEL=/ initrd /initrd-2.6.9-5.EL.img Let me know if you need more information. /JF Ah -- can you hook up the system to serial port to capture the boot log? P. Strangely, we are not able to get all logs in hyperterm, but only some of them. Anyway, here is what I could get from the console port: Booting 'Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS (2.6.9-55.0.6.ELsmp)' root (hd0,0) Filesystem type is On the regular screen, the same logs as before were seen (see actual results). What else can I do to gather boot logs? Let me know what other information I can gather to help you troubleshooting this bug. Since we are delivering our software on RedHat Enterprise Linux 4, we really need to resolve this issue. thanks a lot. /JF Hello, Jean-Francois. We need the console output (produced by the kernel) before the "Freeing unused kernel memory: ..." message is displayed. This will likely provide a clue as to why the disk device initialization failed, which in turn is likely why the root device could not be mounted. |
