Hello, I have made an upgrade with yum from FC6 to FC7 on a i686 system with IDE drives. Everything worked ok, but I realized after upgrade that in /etc/fstab I had /dev/hdX entries instead of LABELs. After reboot I got the message: Creating root device Mounting root filesystem mount: could not find filesystem '/dev/root/' Setting up other filesystems Setting up new root fs setuproot: moving /dev failed: No such file or directory no fstab.sys, mounting internal defaults setuproot: error mounting /proc: No such file or directory setuproot: error mounting /sys: No such file or directory Switching to new root and running init. unmounting old /dev unmounting old /proc unmounting old /sys switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! At that point I have tried to make all the modifications necessary to boot again with this kernel. Now, the situation looks like: -> fdisk /dev/sda1 1 126 1012063+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda2 127 2228 16884314+ 83 Linux -> blkid /dev/sda2: LABEL="Cata" UUID="ebfbf39f-558d-4d30-b143-9e581bf41f77" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3" /dev/sda1: TYPE="swap" LABEL="swap" -> /etc/fstab LABEL=Cata / ext3 defaults 1 1 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 LABEL=swap swap swap defaults 0 0 -> /boot/grub/grub.conf default=0 timeout=7 splashimage=(hd0,1)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz title Fedora (2.6.21-1.3194.fc7) root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 ro root=LABEL=Cata initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7.img -> /boot/grub/device.map (fd0) /dev/fd0 (hd0) /dev/sda -> I have made another initrd file /boot/initrd-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7.img which had the folowing entries: resume LABEL=swap echo Creating root device. mkrootdev -t ext3 -o defaults,ro sda2 echo Mounting root filesystem. mount /sysroot echo Setting up other filesystems. setuproot echo Switching to new root and running init. switchroot -> at the boot time I saw that ata_piix driver loaded ok: <7>ata_piix 0000:00:1f.1: version 2.10ac1 <7>PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:1f.1 to 64 <6>ata1: PATA max UDMA/100 cmd 0x000101f0 ctl 0x000103f6 bmdma 0x0001f000 irq 14 <6>scsi0 : ata_piix I even tried to upgrade the system again with FC7 DVD, it was installed the kernel, made his initrd, but no success at reboot. With FC7 rescue cd it is booting ok, so I do not understand what is the problem with his kernel from distribution (which is the default - 2.6.21-1.3194.fc7).
