Description of problem: This must be some BFM but after couple of updates F9 doesn't boot on MS Virtual PC 2007: Red Hat nash version 6.0.52 starting Reading au physical volunes. This may take a while... No volume groups found Volume group "VolGroupOO" not found Unable to access resume device (/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol0l) mount: could not find filesystem '/dev/root' 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 Mount failed for selinuxfs on selinux: No such file or directory switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory After 2-5 warm resets booting succeedes !!! Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.25.6-55 How reproducible: 80% of boots Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start virtual machine 2. Sit and watch boot logging 3. Actual results: Boot Expected results: Failed boot Additional info: Are there any kernel switches to try? I obviously use "noreplace-paravirt".
sorry, few more comments: - i just noticed (the failed boot is way too fast) that _no harddrives are actually detected_ - too sort probe timeout or something like that? - since this stared happening i can't poweroff the (virtual) machine, it halts instead - fsck found no problems (as expected) MP
looks like acpi=off does the trick, let me test it MP
confirmed MP
