Good morning! Before filing a bug, I want to see what you have to say :) I did an FC12 installation on my Ultra 5 and noticed something weird. [root@medusa /]# blkid /dev/sda1: UUID="5227bdcc-de97-4a1a-8d01-49e06e882771" TYPE="ext3" /dev/sda3: UUID="5227bdcc-de97-4a1a-8d01-49e06e882771" TYPE="ext3" /dev/sdb1: UUID="90a9428f-72c6-ae35-e4e6-37e93e5dd7b5" TYPE="linux_raid_member" /dev/sdc1: UUID="7fd60fe3-8252-40e8-8ec4-8790287eb8e8" TYPE="ext4" /dev/sdc2: UUID="e07227d5-8519-44b7-a046-75406f2598ce" TYPE="swap" /dev/sdc3: UUID="7fd60fe3-8252-40e8-8ec4-8790287eb8e8" TYPE="ext4" /dev/sdc4: UUID="01d42e64-932b-4abb-98f0-5c78807e8b06" TYPE="ext4" /dev/sdc5: UUID="8e47e08c-4918-452d-a266-d26d8185c106" TYPE="ext4" Note how all first slices and the third slices on both my ATA and SATA disk are duplicates. This becomes very problamatic during booting. silo.conf by default after installation uses root=UUID="7fd60fe3-8252-40e8-8ec4-8790287eb8e8". The kernel panics, mentions "you have to specify a filesystem" and sleeps forever. My assumption is, that due to the duplicated UUIDs, it tries to mount /dev/sdc, since /dev/sdc3 is the Sun/Solaris equilivent to "Whole disk" and fdisk highly recommends you to have this /dev/sd?3 as "Whole disk" partition. (As Solaris has slice 2 as whole disk). /etc/fstab has problems too. It tries to mount both / and /export with the same UUID, again UUID=7fd60fe3-8252-40e8-8ec4-8790287eb8e8 / ext4 defaults 1 1 UUID=7fd60fe3-8252-40e8-8ec4-8790287eb8e8 /export ext4 defaults 1 2 Another problem in /etc/fstab is that it tries to mount filesystems based on UUIDs that don't exist. [root@medusa /]# grep /slowdrive /etc/fstab #UUID=8bd7d37d-21fb-4da5-9865-c20cc07ca6be /slowdrive ext3 defaults 1 2 [root@medusa /]# blkid | grep 8bd7d37d-21fb-4da5-9865-c20cc07ca6be [root@medusa /]# Any ideas what is going on?
