Looks like this bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?format=multiple&id=827997

You could try to force-install a new fresh kernel (rpm -Uvh --force
kernel.rpm) and recreating grub.cfg afterwards. Seems to be a problem
with one of the Fedora kernels.



Finally got it to boot. Used /dev/sda2 instead of UUID. BTW, using
root=LABEL gives same devnode error.

I'll try to force-install kernel.rpm. But which kernel? Does it matter?
The most recent F17 kernel on koji is 3.5.2-3, which is that same kernel
now installed!

IIRC, if you specify "LABEL=" and "UUID=", the device must match both
(it's a logical AND). You said that the UUID was correct, so odds are
the label isn't correct. Check via "e2label /dev/sda2".

My $0.02: choose either "LABEL=" or "UUID=", but not both. Or skip it
all and use the device. Chances are that the UUID will be more unique
so I'd use that.
