Hi Again,
Just to let you know I have fixed this issue, it was because of a
missing driver for the disk. What I did to fix it was this :-
1. Boot from the rescue CD
2. chroot /mnt/sysimage
3. edit /etc/modprobe.conf and change the scsi_nv to scsi_via
4. Delete (or rename for safety) /boot/initrd-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.img
5. /sbin/mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.img 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4
Then a reboot and all works as expected. Hope this solution helps
somebody.
Regards
Ben

Hello All,
I have been using FC4 as a MythTV box for 18 months or so now and
all has been well. I'm not really all that upto speed with the
Linux way of doing things, so am a little stumped with this problem.
I went on Holiday and when I came back the power supply had blown
in the unit, and after replacing the power supply it looked like it
had taken the mother board out with it (or maybe the motherboard
took the power supply out, who knows). Anyway I had to put a
different motherboard in as I could not get the same one as I had
before. I now have an MSI K8MM3 board in, before I had a NFORCE3-A.
When I try to boot I get the following :
Booting 'Fedora Core (2.6.11-1.1369_FC4)'
kernel direct mapping tables upto ffff810100000000 @ 8000-c00
root (hd0,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb quiet

initrd /initrd-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.img
[Linux-inetrd @ 0x37ea9000, 0x146041 bytes]
.
Decompressing Liux...done.
Booting the kernel.
Rd Had nash version 4.2.15 starting
mkrootdev: label /1 not found
mount: error 2 mounting ext3
ERROR opeing /dev/concolse!!!!: 2

switchroot: mount failed: 22
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
And there it hangs. I am guessing its something to do with the new
MB having different disk controllers in it.
I have tried booting with the FC4 recover cd, and it boots. I
notice it says, "Loading SATA_VIA driver", so I wonder if I need to
get that driver onto my existing system? or would that already be
there?
It says the following files systems were not unmounted cleanly /dev/
sda1 I continue anyway, it then says an error occurred trying to
mount some of my filesystems.
It has mounted /dev/sda1 on /mnt/sysimage/boot as RW (ext2) and
that seems to be fine and intact, its also mounted /dev/sda2 on /
mnt/sysimage/ as RW (this on is ext3). Again it all seems to be
intact.
The other volume I have is the data volume and is JFS on LVM, this
I guess is where the error occurred during mount so is probably not
really an issue at the moment, as the boot and root partitions are
fine.
How should I proceed so that I can get the machine to boot again? I
hope I have given enough detailed information in this request to be
useful.

Ben
