https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=307704 Summary: Can't boot from root fs when using labels Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Beta 2 Platform: i386 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: sles@ini.unizh.ch QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: Beta-Customer # grep ROOT /etc/fstab LABEL=ROOT on / type xfs (rw) # grep ROOT /boot/grub/menu.lst kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz root=LABEL=ROOT splash=silent showopts When booting, the system bails out with: "Waiting for device /dev/root to appear: .... Could not find /dev/root. Want me to fall back to /dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:10:0-scsi-0:0:0:0-part1? (Y/n)" When saying 'Y' the sytem will continue to boot. Chaning from label to device based mounting (/dev/sda1 in my case) fixes the issue. -- 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.
