+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #160652 +++ Distribution: fc3 Hardware Environment: Compaq DL580, 4 CPUs Software Environment: Problem Description: Booting 2.6.12-1.1372_FC3smp generates panic. Console capture in attachment. Other kernels, including previous smp, are working.

kernel-smp-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3 is broken and refuses to boot on two different platforms, one with SCSI and one with parallel ATA disks. Previous kernel-smp- 2.6.11-1.35_FC3 works fine on both platforms. The failure appears to be related to the new kernel's inability to find root partition, specified as either "LABEL=/" or "/dev/hda2". The old kernel does that without any problems.
