On my Fedora 20 installation, the special rescue option used a UUID, and the normal boot kernel option used a device name. It wouldn't boot up for me, either, post installation. Thanks to the device names being different from booting via a DVD versus the HDD. Looks like my BIOS may be one of those that re-orders things when it automatically steps through the list of which device to boot. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists. George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
