mkinitrd seems right, you do not use the dm device as the root filesystem, but boot from the "plain" partition.
mountpoint -d / 8:1
Same here, this is the device number of sda1, not a dm device.
Now the question is: what root device should i use to generate the new initrd ?
The root= string in the grub conf, the line for "/" in /etc/fstab and the root for mkinitrd should all be the same to work as expected. If you want to boot from the dm device, you should try passing the same string as you currently have in grub.conf and fstab to mkinitrd. I can not tell if that will work though. The other option, if you do not want to use device mapper as your root filesystem, is to use /dev/disk/by-id/ata-Maxtor_6V250F0_V596HXEG-part1 in the grub.conf, fstab. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
