Description of problem: I have tried to install Rawhide today with custom partition layout. the installation itself was completed without any problems. but after rebooting, kernel panic happens due to "mount: could not find filesystem '/dev/root'" I can boot it with root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 instead of root=LABEL=/ - of course it's going to be entered into the single mode automatically because the label is specified on /etc/fstab too. after typing a root password, I tried to see what a kind of label are given to /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00. but e2label does show nothing. so I set / to that manually and the issue goes away forever. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 11.3.0.36-1 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install with custom layout 2.reboot after install 3. Actual results: kernel panic Expected results: should boot without any problem. Additional info: I'm not sure if it's related to this, but the partitioning information on my box is: $ cat /proc/partitions major minor #blocks name 8 0 78125000 sda 8 1 104391 sda1 8 2 78019672 sda2 253 0 20971520 dm-0 253 1 54951936 dm-1 253 2 2031616 dm-2 $ cat /etc/fstab LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 /dev/VolGroup00/home /home ext3 defaults 1 2 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0 And / and /boot was formatted at the install time though, /boot was labeled it seems.
Were you reusing existing volumes but reformatting them? I'm not reproducing here :-/ Can you attach /var/log/anaconda* ?

Yes, I was. the timestamp might helps too?: -rw------- 1 root root 57525 2006-03-28 00:58 /var/log/anaconda.xlog -rw------- 1 root root 252934 2006-03-28 00:58 /var/log/anaconda.syslog -rw------- 1 root root 25620 2006-03-28 00:58 /var/log/anaconda.log
We don't deal with filesystem labels on LVs in general. I've fixed this up to where it will no longer write out the labels in /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/grub.conf. The system should be bootable now.
