Hello, I noticed that in GRUB, the kernel command has a strange root argument, some long string that does not look like a path at all. Could that be related to the problem? I tried removing the root argument, but it complained of missing root argument. I tried replacing it with /dev/sda1, and then it complained that /dev/sda1 is already mounted on /sysroot. What should the correct root argument be? Thanks!
