Description of problem: Here is what happens when I try to run kernel-2.6.18-1.2868.fc6 which I updated using SMART. This is a desktop PC. ACPI: Getting cpuindex for acpiid 0x1 ACPI: Getting cpuindex for acpiid 0x2 ACPI: Getting cpuindex for acpiid 0x3 Red Hat Nash version 5.1.19.0.2 starting setuproot: moving /dev failed: No such file or directory setuproot: error mounting /proc: No such file or directory setuproot: error mounting /sys: No such file or directory ERROR opening /dev/console Trying to use fd 0 instead WARNING: can't access (null) exec of init ((null)) failed!!! Bad Address Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init The 2849 kernel works. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.18-1.2868.fc6 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
The solution to the problem was a simple one. There was one difference between the 2849 and 2868 grub kernel lines. The 2849 had [b]root=LABEL=/[/b] whereas 2868 had [b]root=/dev/hdd6[/b]. Once I changed the 2868 line to reflect what the 2849 line was showing it booted without issues. I had previously seen the difference however I didn't think it would matter as /dev/hdd6 is mounted as /. And it isn't part of a LVM physical volume, just a reiserfs partition.
(This is a mass-update to all current FC6 kernel bugs in NEW state) Hello, I'm reviewing this bug list as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to isolate current bugs in the Fedora kernel. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage I am CC'ing myself to this bug, however this version of Fedora is no longer maintained. Please attempt to reproduce this bug with a current version of Fedora (presently Fedora 8). If the bug no longer exists, please close the bug or I'll do so in a few days if there is no further information lodged. Thanks for using Fedora!
