Description of problem: Booted the new release of Fedora 11 Alpha, used the install option from the desktop. I have two disks, installation was on sda, sdb is my data store and home partition. Other than the config of sdb device config was default (logical volume for /) All installation went well. On reboot, I can see plymouth start, then got the following error after the logical volume successful message: mount: could not find filesystem '/dev/root' In searching found a similar previous bug for F9 of # 431778 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=431778) Unlike F9 Alpha, I had no additonal messages Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Alpha How reproducible: On first install so far Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install alpha 2. Reboot 3. Actual results: failed to boot on first usage Expected results: Boot into Fedora 11 Additional info:
Known issue, to workaround this you need to specify your root on the kernelcmdline (grub) not as UUID= or LABEL=, but directly, see the F11 alpha release notes. Once you've booted this way do: yum update mkinitrd Followed by yum update kernel And booting by UUID should work again. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 480667 ***
