Don't think it's you, although it doesn't seem to be universal. Some
hardware seems to trigger a different output from the blkid calc,
while most work. That's only based on three upgrades, two worked fine,
one did as you say, haven't gotten to building a 3.4 kernel yet, on my
to-do list for the weekend.
I believe I have fixed the problem, but I have no idea
what had caused it in the first place.
First time it happened was when yum update brought in
kernel-3.3.5-2.fc16.i686, and I rebooted into the new kernel.
2nd time was when yum update brought in kernel-3.3.6-3.fc16.i686 .
So I remained with booting kernel-3.3.4-3.fc16.i686.
Finally, today I decided to examine /boot/grub2/grub.cfg.
I read it carefully line by line and compared each line with
the corresponding line in menuentry for kernel-3.3.4-3.fc16.i686.
I saw that when the first yum update brought in kernel-3.3.5-2.fc16.i686,
it messed up the uuid's in the menuentry for kernel-3.3.5-2.fc16.i686
as follows:
menuentry 'Fedora (3.3.5-2.fc16.i686)' --class fedora --class gnu-linux
--class gnu --class os {
load_video
set gfxpayload=keep
insmod gzio
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,msdos2)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root
03f82b3c-5163-465b-a4c3-3bcb349a1cc4
echo 'Loading Fedora (3.3.5-2.fc16.i686)'
linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.3.5-2.fc16.i686
root=UUID=259d7b44-1122-42cc-b504-3dd40027d3b9 ro rd.md=0 rd.lvm=0
rd.dm=0 KEYT
ABLE=us quiet SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 rd.luks=0 LANG=en_US.UTF-8
echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...'
initrd /boot/initramfs-3.3.5-2.fc16.i686.img
}
Notice the difference between the UUID's
The linux line has the correct uuid, but the search line has the wrong uuid.
So, when the 2nd yum update came along, it repeated the same error.
Today, I rpm -e'd both of the kernels, and did yum update kernel
and it brought in kernel-3.3.6-3.fc16.i686 and I checked grub.cfg.
And now it has the correct uuid on both lines of the the menu entry.
So, I am guessing that installation of 3.3.5-2 must have introduced
the error and 3.3.6-3 simply used that as a template to follow.
I cannot find the binary rpm for 3.3.5-2 to retry installing it to see
if it will commit the same erroneous menuentry into grub.cfg
If you do have it, please send link.
