what does your /etc/fstab look like ? are you trying to use nfsroot ? $>cat /etc/fstab /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults,usrquota,grpquota 1 1 UUID=70d1c680-dacc-423e-8c58-d0f2f819c5d0 /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0 #UUID=30e7a57b-f963-4f13-8cc7-0b9f0fe633ef swap swap defaults 0 0 UUID=fd899c34-fb15-4bd5-948c-6edb5649c2b3 /home/sda8 ext3 defaults 1 1 /dev/VolGroup01/LogVol00 /home/sdb1 ext3 defaults 1 1 $>cat /boot/grub/grub.conf

$> Hello Dave :) Things to note, I added the usrquota and grpquota options after following the F9 perfect server how-to forge article, but I don't use ispconfig, i use webmin if that should matter. The noirqdebug option in grub is needed for my computer to boot otherwise i'll get the "nobody cared try irqpoll" message. I have 3 OSs installed, yes please shoot me. The break down of the 2 SATA harddrives: /dev/sda is 160GB /dev/sda1 ntfs (for the unholy and bios updates) /dev/sda2 ext3 /boot (for ubuntu not fedora, the ubuntu grub is called first, from here i select fedora) /dev/sda3 ext3 /boot (for fedora and fedora grub is installed here) /dev/sda4 extended /dev/sda5 swap (for ubuntu) /dev/sda6 ext3 / (for ubuntu) /dev/sda7 lvm /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 / (for fedora) /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol01 swap (for fedora) /dev/sda8 ext3 unused /dev/sdb is 300GB /dev/sdb1 lvm /dev/mapper/VolGroup01-LogVol00 /home (for fedora and ubuntu) This part.. Could not find root-path dhcp option. mkrootdev: could not determine nfs root target is where things are going horribly wrong. Why it's even trying to use nfs is a mystery to me. It looks like the initrd is very confused. Peter, any ideas ?

Peter, can we move to dhclient in the initrd so it can pick up root-path? Dear Fedora Devs, I'm going to try out a different linux distro, and unfortunately fedora is the one that has to go this time. Is there anything you need for me to do to help you out with fixing this bug before uninstalling fedora, like logs, config files, running some commands, etc. Check that this isn't caused by BZ #462228 NFS was one of the symptoms of ltsp-client being installed on a server, Hey John, ltsp could be it, when i used to run /sbin/ifconfig i used to get ltsp along with eth0 and the loopback and i remember seeing it starting when it's booting. i don't remember consciously installing ltsp-client but it's very likely that it did have it installed. thank you for your help. |
