Description of problem: I get an error saying that /dev/root can't be found, followed by more error messages then the system hanging. This happens consistently. I went back to kernel 2.6.25.11-60.fc8 and there is no problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.25.14-69.fc8 How reproducible: Turn on the computer Steps to Reproduce: 1.Turn on the computer 2. 3. Actual results: System hangs while booting, after some error messages Expected results: System booting. Additional info:
I have this when upgrading from 2.6.25.11-60.fc8 to 2.6.25.14-69.fc8 some moron forgot that you need LVM to load. So I had to back out of the update by booting previous kernel image. Second time updates have messed up machine. The complaints are all about bad number, and it is on all the LVM's. Real screw up.........
The same problem occurs with kernel 2.6.26.3-14.fc8. When I try to boot it hangs after saying: unable to access resume device (UUID=6943... ) mount: could not find filesystem '/dev/root' setuproot: moving /dev failed: No such file or directory setuproot: moving /proc failed: No such file or directory setuproot: moving /sys failed: No such file or directory switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory
Me to, had this problem since upgrading to 2.6.26 (all versions) Outputs the same as above. Tried changing the root path to logical vol path but the same result. Tried reinstalling grub - same result. Was hopping it would be fixed by now.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Once again the Fedora supporters have dealt with a bug by doing nothing. With version 8 I could avoid the problem by using an old kernel (the newer ones fail to boot). Am I supposed to install version 9 or 10 now without any confidence that I will be able to boot the system and no older kernel to fall back to? That would seem to be a foolish gamble, so it seems that I am stuck with version 8 forever.
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
