Re: HELP!! /dev/root mount failure

First   it *is* ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet

One place that you might want to check, is your root line. On my machine it says:
                   root (hd0,2), *not* root (hd0,0).

Just for fun try editing the root line so that it says (hd0,2), save then reboot and see if that does the trick, if not you can always change it back (use knoppix 10 mount the partician , se;lect actions--> make writable then edit menu.lst in GRUB and save.)

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




Could you ungzip your initrd-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5smp.img file and extract
it with cpio and show the contents of the init file?







Done.  Okay, the main thing I think you'll be interested in is



resume LABEL=SWAP-hda3

echo Creating root device.

mkrootdev -t ext3 -o defaults,ro hda1

echo Mounting root filesystem.

mount /sysroot



Okay, it would seem to point to the use of "hda1" as label/dev is
wrong?? Shouldn't it say either /dev/hda1 OR LABEL=/
