The kernel can't find the rootfs. Please verify that: 1) You have an initramfs file corresponding to this kernel version in /boot 2) The initramfs file is of similar size to the rest of the initramfs files 3) The grub or grub2 configuration file contains an 'initrd' line for this kernel.

Thanks Josh -- it the initramfs was missing from /boot . I would expect Grub to complain and not let the kernel boot. Perhaps a coincidence, but I have experienced the same error with kernel-3.6.6-1.fc17.x86_64. As with the original reporter this turned out to be a missing initrd (and this bug was the clue leading to the solution, thanks!). Would this be the domain of yum, rpm, or dracut? Although I've just updated to another kernel using yum from the command line and the initrd has successfully generated. |
