My hard drive died. I did a full restore to a different drive. The UUID of my root file system is now different, so mount-by-UUID fails. Not a problem; I'll just edit the command line in grub, and change the existing 'root=UUID=...' on the command line to 'root=/dev/sda7'. Would be nice if the initrd actually *honoured* this, instead of still finding that original UUID somewhere and trying to mount that. I eventually resorted to *changing* the file system's UUID to match the old one, because I couldn't work out how to make it mount the *right* file system and continue. I really shouldn't have had to do that.
Isn't that just caused by the entry in /etc/fstab; the file on the rootfs not inside dracut? I personally just have: ROOT / auto defaults 0 0 there, because the actual device field is not needed at all, and ignored if it does not start with /. Dracut, or the kernel, has mounted the device already, so the duplicated entry seems pointless, and might just be the cause of your problem. If that is the reason, anaconda should probably stop doing that.
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/19/html-single/Release_Notes/index.html#idm263768207408 Boot speed is improved by removing unused features from the initramfs. If new hardware is added, boot into the rescue initramfs and use the command dracut --regenerate-all --force to rebuild and replace the old initramfs.
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.
