I have this problem on a Dell 2850 machine. The problem began when the kernel was updated to any 2.6.13 flavor such as the last TWO FC4 kernel updates. Prior to that, with the original FC4 2.6.11 kernel, the problem did not exist on this machine. So, I can boot 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp with no problem but any FC4 kernel later than that will cause the panic, claiming unable to find the label "/". Additionally, I have a Dell 1850 which is almost identical hardware-- with only the backplane being different. On the 1850 it is a PCIe backplane and the 2850 is PCIx. All other components in the two machines are identical. This 1850 experiences no problem with any kernel including the latest 2.6.13-1.1526 that was updated in the last day or so.
CORRECTION: I was mistaken about which kernel was on the 1850 machine. It now appears that the 1850 was running 2.6.12-1.1447_FC4smp. When it is upgraded to 2.6.13-1.1526, it fails the same way as the 2850. So, this is good news/bad news. Good news that there is not some bizarre platform difference causing this. Bad news that it is a consistant failure in 2.6.13 for these Dell machines. The 2850 was just installed with FC4 and upgraded today. So it went from 2.6.11 to 2.6.13 immediately, skipping 2.6.12. I suspect it would boot 2.6.12 without trouble just as the 1850 does. I can do that experiment if anyone needs proof. How else can I help? here is an 'lspci' of the 1850: [root@mig207 ~]# lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation E7520 Memory Controller Hub (rev 09) 00:02.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation

Hey guys, I may have a fix - this is for those of you with LSI SCSI cards upgrading to the latest 2.6.13 kernel via yum: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?p=387546 (scroll to the bottom, I'm "Ant") I'm going to be submitting a bug report soon that describes the situation fully. I think mkinitrd has to be updated in order for future upgrades-from-fresh-installs to work... Take care, Tony
DJ pointed me to what appears to be a simpler fix: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=FC4_FUSION --tony
I tried this last suggested fix with success! I was able to boot the Dell 2850 (remotely no less) after making the changes to modprobe.conf. I'll take care of the 1850 when I get back to work on Monday. Thanks guys. It doesn't look like too serious of an issue so we'll hope to see an official fix in the next kernel update. Regards, Chris Network Engineering SGI
