I posted an issue I was having booting a new install of F19 on my
Samsung netbook. It seems that my system cannot find the disks by UUID
for some reason. The way I fixed this before was to edit grub to use
the device name /dev/sda5 (which is /boot) instead of UUID.
Uh, you want the UUID of the root filesystem ("/") instead of "/boot".
Some people
replied that I needed to make sure that my system UUID matched what grub
was trying to use. I've attached a copy of the UUIDs (from blkid) and
from /boot/grub2/grub.cfg. I did another fresh install of F19,
reformatted the partitions again and still had the same problem. So I
booted back into my LiveUSB image and pulled the data from blkid and and
grub.cfg. So, what do I do now?
I noticed in the boot params there's a '--fs-uuid' switch, can I remove
that and specify /dev/sda5 instead? I know so little about the newest
boot process that I'm flailing here. Help!
The best tool is "lsblk -f". You should see output like:
NAME FSTYPE LABEL UUID
MOUNTPOINT
sda
├─sda1 ext3 /boot 86f2589e-b5d5-464a-a19f-7a26cec2a6cc /boot
└─sda2 LVM2_mem Z7Lynq-GOOr-GAdZ-yeSt-AleG-2WiQ-T5JBIm
├─VolGroup00-LogVol00
ext3 f07b9552-a738-4e07-9319-150939a5cd42 /
└─VolGroup00-LogVol01
swap e7dbb97c-bc3e-405b-8a3d-31a2edda2a42 [SWAP]
sdb
└─sdb1 ext3 CD-DVD-Images d137c115-1add-45e4-8210-08beca7ab8a5

Again, you want the UUID of the root filesystem (in my case,
f07b9552-a738-4e07-9319-150939a5cd42).
