Description of problem: When upgrading kernel versions, specifically installing a new kernel rpm, the mkinitrd doesn't detect the need for LVM if the root partition is specified in /etc/fstab with LABEL=/ and root is on a logical volume. Change the line in /etc/fstab to /dev/vg0/root, or whatever, and it works just fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. specify root partition in fstab with LABEL=/ (or any label), where the root partition is on a logical volume 2. install a new kernel, or run mkinitrd 3. try and boot with that initrd image Actual results: No capture handy. "switchroot failed" error and kernel panic. Expected results: Booting system. Additional info:
This hasn't _ever_ been supported, and isn't the way we set things up during installation.
