Re: HELP!! /dev/root mount failure

Hi Ed,
  It's a pretty standard looking output for grub, as it's the install default.

#boot=/dev/hda
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Fedora Core (2.6.15-1.2054_FC5smp)
    root (hd0,0)
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5smp ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
    initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5smp.img


e2label said /dev/hda1 was "/"  and couldn't get a label for /dev/hda3, which should be swap. It said "Bad magic number in superblock"
So I ran mkswap on /dev/hda3 again, to be sure. Then went to /etc/fstab and said to use /dev/hda3 for swap, not LABEL=SWAP-hda3

However, when linux rebooted, same problem.  But I also noticed the boot message was still refering to swap as LABEL=SWAP-hda3 not /dev/hda3??

Hello all.
  I posted this earlier in the week, but decided this morning, I would
shift my ext3 partition to the front of the disk and have grub install
onto /dev/hda

But, Grub STILL hangs when it tries to load itself and although I can
use lilo 22-7 to get the install working I still get this error!
 
Trying to resume from LABEL=SWAP-hda3
No suspend signature on swap, not resuming
Creating root device.

no fstab.sys, mounting internal defaults
setuproot: error mounting /proc: No such file or directory
setuproot: error mounting /sys: No such file or directory

Kernel panic ..

I'm at a loss as to how I even approach fixing this?
    

What is the contents of your grub.conf?

What is the output of e2label for each partition?

  
How do I pause the loading cycle, and I can't even go into single user
mode as I'm not getting that far?!

I still have my GigaRAID ATA bios loaded for the RAID 0 container I
have, is it possible this is mapping to a memory address and conflicting
with Grub and setting up dev root?

I'm also using the SMP kernel by default as I have a dual core Intel
2.66....  perhaps  I will try the single processor kernels...

HELP, please! ;-)
