When I run mkbootdisk on a system installed from a live CD, I get: -------------------------------------------------- [root@taltos bare.metal]# mkbootdisk --iso --device ../bootdisk.$(uname -r).iso $(uname -r) Cannot find root partition in /etc/fstab. -------------------------------------------------- When I run the same on a system installed from Anaconda, I do not get this. Possibly the difference is in how the root partition is identified in /etc/fstab, on the same hardware: live CD: -------------------------------------------------- [root@taltos bare.metal]# cat /etc/fstab LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0 -------------------------------------------------- Anaconda: -------------------------------------------------- /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0 -------------------------------------------------- This difference also causes problems for bare metal recovery. I would prefer the Anaconda non-label version. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
