Description Andrea Sterbini 2002-08-08 10:58:29 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020721

Description of problem:
When I install a newew kernel in my RH 7.3 the initrd file created does not
work. This because I use LABEL for my root partition and mkinitrd does not
handle the LABEL properly in fstab.

The system works fine only if I avoid labeling my root partition.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
0. keep configured a good old version of kernel for rebooting later....
BEWARE: if you don't you will not boot again!
1. label your root partition in the fstab file
2. use mkinitrd to produce the new initrd
3. reboot
	

Actual Results:  Kernel panic because the root partition is not found

Expected Results:  normal boot

works in 8.0 -- new mkinitrd should be all you need
