From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020721 Description of problem: When I install a newew kernel in my RH 7.3 the initrd file created does not work. This because I use LABEL for my root partition and mkinitrd does not handle the LABEL properly in fstab. The system works fine only if I avoid labeling my root partition. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 0. keep configured a good old version of kernel for rebooting later.... BEWARE: if you don't you will not boot again! 1. label your root partition in the fstab file 2. use mkinitrd to produce the new initrd 3. reboot Actual Results: Kernel panic because the root partition is not found Expected Results: normal boot Additional info:
works in 8.0 -- new mkinitrd should be all you need
