I installed the latest Fedora Core 1 errata kernel 2.4.22-1.2138.nptl on
an Intel PIII box.
I downloaded the files I needed and installed it this way;
rpm -Uvh kernel-source-2.4.22-1.2138.nptl.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.22-1.2138.nptl.i686.rpm
rpm -Uvh kernel-doc-2.4.22-1.2138.nptl.i386.rpm
After I did "rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.22-1.2138.nptl.i686.rpm" I got this
error;
umount: /tmp/initrd.mnt.xh1685: device is busy
ioctl: LOOP_CLR_FD: Device or resource busy
rm: cannot remove directory '/tmp/initrd.mnt.xh1685':
Device or resource busy
The rpm -ivh came back with 100% completion. Doing a Google search
didn't come up with much so I continued on.
When I booted from the new kernel, I got these error messages;
RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
Freeing initrd memory: 159k freed
EXT2-fs warning: mounting unchecked fs, running e2fsck is
recommended
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem).
VFS: Cannot open root device "LABEL=/" or 00:00
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 00:00
If I use "root=/dev/hda2" in GRUB's kernel line, the server will boot
fine. Is this a new change or is it a symptom of the first error
message?
The kernel 2.4.22-1.2135 and previous ones have no problem with
"root=LABEL=/".
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Frank
