Description Sampson Fung 2002-10-26 21:14:05 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003

Description of problem:
Just after a fresh install of RH 8.0, the kernel line in grub reads:
   kernel /boot/vmlinux-2.4.18-14 ro root=LABEL=hdal
And it boots normally.

Then I download the kernel.*.2.4.18-17.8.0-i386.rpm, then the line reads:
   kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-17.8.0 ro root=LABEL=hda1
Then ends in kernal panic that cannot mount root filesystem.

After changing root=/dev/hda1, it starts normally.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Change the root= to use LABEL, fails immediatelly
2.  Change the root= to use /dev, OK immediatelly
3.

This doesn't look like the actual file.  Could you attach the actual grub.conf?
