Well, it looks like after a couple of hours I was able to fix it after
all. Luckily a friend went through a similar issue months ago and
suggested I try and disable any type of power management for the SATA
drive. Sure enough, I found an option for "SATA power management" in the
workstation BIOS, set it to "disabled" and I was able to boot without
any further issues. One thing to note though, setting the kernel append
of acpi=off did not help. Good luck!

This may not be related, but it seems as though the kernel is having
issues loading devices in general. Mabe there's a kernel option that
changed? I get these USB device errors right before it starts
complaining about accessing swap:
hub 2-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 5
hub 2-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 6
Now keep in mind, the old 2.6.24.7-92.fc8 kernel still boots
everything just fine, which leads me to believe kernel options have
been changed that are having issues with my hardware.

Hi all,
I just yum upgraded three different FC8 workstations I have here at
work to the latest kernel update and all three broke in the same
manner. Upon restart grub loads the kernel and initrd, then it goes
through the classic errors of:
Unable to access resume device (LABEL=SWAP-sda2)
mount: could not find filesystem '/dev/root'
setuproot: moving /dev failed: No such file or directory
setuproot: error mounting /proc: No such file or directory
setuproot: error mounting /sys: No such file or directory
switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory
My guess is that the initrd has bad info from the mkinitrd during the
kernel install. Anyone else seeing this? These are installs that have
been working fine with FC8 for months, and have had nothing change.
All that I did was install the kernel update with yum, and the old
kernel still works fine. As far as I can tell grub.conf is also
correct. Any ideas?
