I tried to upgrade to Fedora Core 1 from Red Hat 9. I experienced some
issues with disk space
(http://www.raibledesigns.com/comments/rd/sunsets/upgrading_to_fedora),
and based on someone's advice, I deleted /tmp and created a symlink
/tmp -> /home/tmp. I did not have /home/tmp created when I tried to
install Fedora. It warned me about having a relative symlink during
the upgrade, so I rebooted to undo the symlink. I've rebooted a number
of times since then, and did get in to rm /tmp and mkdir /tmp. Now it
appears I'm hosed - here's the message I get on startup:
Creating root device
mkrootdev: label / not found
Mounting root filesystem
mount: error 2 mounting ext3
pivotroot: pivot_root(/sysroot,/sysroot/initrd) failed: 2
umount /initrd/proc failed: 2
Freeing unused kernel memory: 132K freed
Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel
_ <- Flashing cursor
I removed some of the kernels last week, so don't know if this would
cause any issues. Any ideas on how to recover this sucker?
Thanks,
Matt
