A screen shot of the failure I'm seeing
Thanks Steve - I wasn't on a virtual machine, so I didn't get to see all the details/screenshot. That is the error message "Cannot find init!..." It turns out the problem was the fact I put / and /usr on different partitions and the /usr partition was not being mounted, which cause /usr/sbin/init not to found. So adding 'rd.lvm.lv=vg_f16/lv_usr' to the linux line in /boot/grub2/grub.cfg fixed the problem anaconda-17.17-1.fc17 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 17. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/anaconda-17.17-1.fc17 Package anaconda-17.17-1.fc17: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 17 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days. Update it with: # su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing anaconda-17.17-1.fc17' as soon as you are able to. Please go to the following url: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-5388/anaconda-17.17-1.fc17 then log in and leave karma (feedback). anaconda-17.19-1.fc17 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 17. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/anaconda-17.19-1.fc17 anaconda-17.20-1.fc17 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 17. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/anaconda-17.20-1.fc17 anaconda-17.20-1.fc17 has been pushed to the Fedora 17 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. Wouldn't the proper fix here be to put init back in /sbin where it has been for 20 years or so? Did it not occur to anyone that tons of people mount /usr as a separate partition? The fix for this bug generated Bug #815264. Doesn't this defeat the whole point of the /usr move feature? Gene Michael Glasgow's comment is pertinant. Is Lenhart and the rest of the /usr move team aware of this fix? Gene *** Bug 851733 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
