Try passing init= option to kernel! I installed Roswell as an upgrade from RedHat 7.1 and Roswell 2 as a fresh install. Both had the same failure. Using the install disk in rescue mode allowed the installation to be mounted and everything seems fine. Installing the kernel from RedHat 7.1 fixes the problem. Also, compilling a kernel from the Roswell kernel-source RPM and using the BOOT configuration as a starting point works.

We're pushing out a version of Rawhide with a kernel that we believes fixes this. Can you try that and then report your results back to this defect, please?
I would be glad to try out the new kernel. What will the package version number be?
Dave and I have been talking on the roswell-list. This is, in fact, the exact same behavior I'm getting, except I'm currently seeing it under 7.1 and the EXT2 filesystem. I'm trying arjan's 2.4.3.17 patch tonight, as requested, but I'd be happy to try a rawhide patch as well.
I tried kernel-2.4.7-2.9.athlon.rpm, but still have the same problem. However, kernel-BOOT-2.4.7-2.9.i386.rpm does boot, as I have seen with prior kernels. Are there any newer kernels I should be watching the mirrors for?
I tried kernel-2.4.7.2-9.athlon, I compiled my own 2.4.7.2, as well as arjan's 2.4.3-17; all three failed. What exactly is the difference between kernel-2.4.7-2.9 and kernel-BOOT-2.4.7-2.9? I haven't verified that it works for me (as it does Dave), but what would be the difference in the two?
kernel-2.4.7-2.19.athlon.rpm worked on my system. Thanks for all the hard work resolving these bugs.
