Comment 1 Dave Jones 2008-11-26 20:07:35 UTC

this is nearly always a broken initrd.  What kind of disk controller is the root filesystem on?

Comment 2 Jacques Rodary 2008-11-27 05:05:50 UTC

SCSI controller- LSI 53C 1010 R 64-bit/66MHz

Comment 3 Jacques Rodary 2008-11-27 05:18:57 UTC

and  the SCSI BIOS is Symbios SDMS version 4.0

Comment 4 Tim Fenn 2008-12-04 03:27:17 UTC

Try booting to rescue mode, chrooting to the sysimage and running:

mkinitrd -v -f --with=scsi_wait_scan /boot/initrd-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.x86_64.img
2.6.27.5-117.fc10.x86_64

(or substitute i686 for x86_64 if necessary)

potentially a dupe of:

Comment 6 Jacques Rodary 2008-12-09 23:44:00 UTC

New kernel 2.6.27.7-134.fc10 still has the same issue, with the same solution: mkinitrd -v -f --with=scsi_wait_scan /boot/initrd-2.6.27....
