Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install F11 (rawhide) x86_64 Actual results: After first reboot hangs with "can't mount /dev/root" (not on the actual system now) Expected results: Boot to finalize(/customize) installation.... Additional info: Quick resolution: 1. Select Fedora boot option in Grub 2. Press "e" (edit) 3. Select kernel line (line no 2) and press "e" (edit) 4. Replace "root=UUID=Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" with "root=/dev/vg_<hostname_as_set_earlier_in_install>/lv_root" (i.e. root=/dev/vg_localhost/lv_root) 5. Press "b" for boot... ;) 6. After installation has finished edit /boot/grub/grub.conf replacing the same line as above...
I'm seeing this as well, with some differences: - no LVM - arch == i586 The same solution works. Changing component to e2fsprogs, although I'm not sure if that's really at fault. I can re-append the UUID line and retry booting if it helps. I did *not*, unfortunately, confirm the original UUID line was correct before cutting it.
also, as a quick note: the root file system is ext4, and dumpe2fs <dev> | grep UUID returns a seemingly valid result.
Quoting bug 484508 comment #2 : > mount by UUID not working in the alpha is a known problem in nash in the alpha. > Please update to mkinitrd-6.0.76, and regenerate your initrd: > mkinitrd -f /boot/initrd-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r) > Then this problem should go away. Please reopen if this is not so. Thanks, -Eric *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 480667 ***
