Description of problem: For kernels kernel-2.6.20-1.2962.fc6 and kernel-2.6.22.1-29.fc6, I get the following fatal errors on boot: [...] Mounting root filesystem EXT3-fs: Unrecognized mount option "nouser" or missing value mount: error mounting /dev/root on /sysroot as ext3: Invalid arguement Setting up other filesystems Setting up new root fs setuproot: moving /dev failed: No such file or directory no fstab.sys, mounting internal defaults setuproot: error mounting /proc: No such file or directory setuproot: error mounting /sys: No such file or directory Switching to new root and running init unmounting old /dev unmounting old /proc unmounting old /sys Switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempting to kill init! [END] The system is locked up at that point and requires a hard reboot. My current /etc/fstab: /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 1 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/sda1 /mnt/c_drive ntfs-3g rw,defaults,umask=022 0 0 /dev/hda /media/disk auto users,atime,auto,rw,dev,exec,suid 0 1 I have tried various changes to the mount options: replacing "defaults" with "rw,suid,dev,exec,auto,nouser,async", both with and without "nouser", with no change in the results. No such errors exist with my currently running kernel kernel-2.6.20-1.2952.fc6. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.20-1.2962.fc6 kernel-2.6.22.1-29.fc6 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install kernel kernel-2.6.20-1.2962.fc6 and/or kernel-2.6.22.1-29.fc6; 2. reboot computer; 3. observe meltdown. Actual results: kernel panic: system locked up, hard reboot required. Expected results: Normal boot as with kernel =< kernel-2.6.20-1.2952.fc6 Additional info: Reference: Bug #145186 and Bug #187664 uname -a: Linux presario.localdomain 2.6.20-1.2952.fc6 #1 SMP Wed May 16 18:59:18 EDT 2007 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux Compaq Presario SR2020NX, AMD Athlon 64 3500+ (~2.2GHz), nvidia GeForce 6150 LE graphics Smolt Profile: http://smolt.fedoraproject.org/show?UUID=02d04cb7-5a0e-4b31-8f1f-7be6f2d85507
Update: just installed kernel kernel-2.6.22.1-32.fc6 a few hours ago, and it booted OK (not flawlessly, but a successful boot with no kernel panic) on the first try. However you wish to resolve this bug is of course your prerogative, but I would prefer that you do NOT close it as "NOTABUG". Thanx and Regards, Vince Schiavoni
Nope, in this case, we CLOSE->CURRENTRELEASE, kernel-2.6.22.1-32.fc6. :)
Same problem happened to me with kernel 2.6.22.1-32 Description After updating my FC6 from kernel 2.6.20-1.2962 it was impossible to boot with new kernel. unable to access resume device (/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01) booting without quiet option in grub.conf I got Trying to resume device (/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01) creating root device mounting root filesystem mount: colud not find filesystem /dev/root setting up other filesystems setting up new root fs setuproot: moving /dev failed: no such file or directory no fstab.sys, mounting internal defaults setuproot: error mounting /proc: no such file or directory setuproot: error mounting /sys: no such file or directory switching to new root and running init unmounting old /dev unmounting old /proc unmounting old /sys switchroot: mount failed: no such file or directory Kernel panic - no syncing: attempt to kill init! During the update process a defective initrd-2.6.22.1-32.fc6.img was created. Replacing in my /boot the defective file with a fresh initrd-2.6.22.1-32.fc6.img from my laptop with a working kernel 2.6.22.1-32 solved the issue in my desktop.
This is still occuring when updating with yum. I don't believe it should be closed as fixed.
