Unable to boot after upgrading from FC2 to FC3

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I just ran an upgrade from FC2 to FC3. The upgrade went smoothly, without any issues or problems, but when it reboots, I see this:

mounting root filesystem
mount: error 6 mounting ext3
mount: error 2 mounting none
Switching to new root
switchroot: mount failed: 22
umount /initrd/dev failed: 2
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempting to kill init!



The only drive in this computer is SATA. Under FC2, this was recognized as /dev/hda. Now, under FC3, it is /dev/sda. I edited my /etc/fstab and edit my grub line to reflect this, but the problem persists.

I can boot from the emergency disc, and mount my drive to edit and look at it. I verified that both partitions (/dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 exist and are properly labeled -- /boot and / respectively).

I googled and looked at many different posts and messages, none of which seemed to directly apply to this situation. The best that I can figure is that the support for SATA isn't loaded when the system needs to boot. That doesn't quite make sense, however, because this computer was working fine with FC2, and it seems that a clean upgrade would make sure that this would work.

Can anyone give me some help, or at least some good pointers?
