(I was given the impression that this is a known issue, but I couldn't find anything in bugzilla....) Description of Problem: system won't reboot after install. <snip> NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0/SMP for Linux NET4.0. request_module[block-major-8]: Root fs not mounted VFS: Cannot open root device "sda2" or 08:02 Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel Panic: unable to mount root fs on 08:02 FWIW, this happened during a kickstart install - base + X Windows + KDE Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): build re0831.0
What sort of device did you install on ? Could this be a missing initrd ?
sorry about the vague bug report.... I installed to /dev/sda2 - 9gig SCSI on a qla1280 initrd is present in /boot. Is it supposed to be there? It is located in /boot/efi on our 7.1 system. Also, the 7.1 system includes vmlinux in addition to vmlinuz. The failing system only has vmlinuz. There are no failures listed in the install log.
mkinitrd bug; should be fixed already
Yep, fixed in mkinitrd-3.2.5-1
