Description of problem: Unable to boot unattended with dracut-004-4.fc12 Boot always stops with: WARNING!!! Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause SEVERE filesystem damage. Do you really want to continue (y/n)? no Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dracut-004-4.fc12 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Upgrade to dracut-004-4.fc12 & reboot 2. 3. Actual results: See above. Expected results: System boots w/o intervention required. Additional info: Suspected the recent dracut upgrade. Downgraded to 2-13.4.git8f397a9b.fc12 and rebuilt initramfs to confirm that the issue is with the recent (Jan 30) dracut upgrade. Notes: 1) This was following a clean reboot - clean filesystems. 2) Running lvm on raid6 (root filesystem). 3) Kernel 2.6.32.7 (kernel.org/git). 4) Used new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --mkinitrd --dracut --depmod <version> to build. 5) /boot/grub/menu.1st entry: kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.32.7MMAPDMARAF3SKY2DMARROUNDINGDMADEBUG-00912-g914160d-dirty ro root=/dev/mapper/vg_00-LogVol02_root usbcore.autosuspend=1 crashkernel=128M SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 LANG=en_US.UTF-8 KEYTABLE=us pcie_aspm=force intel_iommu=igfx_off debug dma_debug=off Marking this urgent as unattended (re)boot is rather important. Downgrade if there's something unique to my config... but I'm guessing as people start rebuilding kernels with the new dracut there's going to be some pain out there.
I need more info. - install the new dracut - add "rdinfo 1" to the kernel command line. - please attach the output of (might also be a camera screenshot): # dmesg | grep dracut - attach /etc/fstab
btw, you are the only person, which reports this issue.

Attached requested info. If it helps, here's the start of /var/log/boot.log: %G Welcome to [0;34mFedora [0;39m Press 'I' to enter interactive startup.

WARNING!!! Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause SEVERE filesystem damage. Do you really want to continue (y/n)? no check aborted. Rest of boot (after answering the question) is normal.
Didn't think of /etc/fstab containing "rw" as an option. Either - remove "rw" in fstab for the root device and rebuild the initramfs, or - add "rd_NO_FSTAB" to the kernel command line until I have fixed this.
Ok, thanks. FWIW, my fstab was built originally by the F11 installer. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
