From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; T312461; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Description of problem: "Error: Cannot open device /dev/mirrored/root" error occurs in the following situation: mirrored /boot mirrored lvm physical volume volume group /dev/mirrored created using above physical volume root, usr, opt, var, etc, are logical volumes sliced out of the volume group above. during "Checking root filesystem" this error occurs, and we drop into the single-user mode password check. it appears to me that the LVM modules were not included in the last two kernels built. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.3-1.100smp and kernel-2.6.3-1.106smp How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.build a machine with a disk layout described above 2.upgrade the kernel to one of the most recent ones 3.whine and cry like a baby :) Actual Results: dropped to single user mode Expected Results: worked in the prior kernels just fine, so i'd expect that it was intended to work at some point Additional info: i think it's simply that the LVM modules weren't compiled in, but i'm not 100% certain.
Is this working with newer kernels?
