Description of problem: kernel 2149 fails to boot with single root filesystem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kenel 2149 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1.boot kernel 2149 2.single root filesystem 3.no /boot filesystem Actual results: kernel boot aborts with message about not finding a LABEL=/boot Expected results: normal boot completion Additional info: system was built with kernel 2115 which boots normally with single root filesystem and no separate /boot filesystem
sounds like your initrd is broken. try updating mkinitrd to latest, and reinstalling the 2149 kernel.
the fedora mkinitrd was built/installed from ISO/CDROM. I replaced it with a mkinitrd copied from a redhat 9 system that i have. I then rebuilt the 2149 kernel and it booted fine -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 14737 Jan 30 22:35 mkinitrd -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 15448 Jan 30 22:34 mkinitrd.fedora
Can you attach your grub.conf?
Created attachment 97426 [details] grug.conf from fedora grub.conf file the same before and after copying mkinitrd from redhat9 system and re-installing both 2149 and 2149smp. note this is a two processor dimension 410 which has a separate problem that 2149smp boot just hangs.
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem persists.
