The question now becomes why wasn't /dev/sdd5 UUID used to id the
swap device during the original installation? Or do they pertain to
swap devices? I see that blkid /dev/sda5 returns only:
/dev/sda5: TYPE="swap".
My swaps on all beta installs I did used uuid in /etc/fstab. Look in
/dev/disk/by-uuid and see if there is one thats unused in your fstab,
thats likely your swap. Don't know why it was different for your
install.
blkid /dev/sda5 indicates no uuid. I will try another F9beta install
later and see what it says. I do have other distros on this machine,
maybe one of them is doing something. So far all distros have found the
one swap device on this system.
Some weirdness going on, but first:
1) clean install to a new LV but not creating a new swap: old swap
identified, but no UUID assigned and fstab still uses /dev/sda5.
2) clean install to a new LV and create an additional new swap, old swap
still not given a UUID, but new swap is with fstab using UUID for the
new swap:
[root@P5K-EWIFI ~]# blkid /dev/sda*
<snip>
/dev/sda5: TYPE="swap"
<snip>
[root@P5K-EWIFI ~]# blkid /dev/sdc*
/dev/sdc1: UUID="1080D63D80D628CC" TYPE="ntfs"
/dev/sdc2: UUID="vBUNbd-U83e-LUhG-O03Q-Hrn3-KaOf-HK8bzR" TYPE="lvm2pv"
/dev/sdc3: LABEL="SWAP-sdc3" UUID="6ddf787e-381c-4c54-b903-8e4900ca7228"
TYPE="swap"
[root@P5K-EWIFI ~]#
The weirdness: on the first attempt of each install, anaconda ignored
the bios hard drive sequence by identifying the sata drives ahead of the
ide drive and when it tried to format a new standard linux partition on
one of the sata drives failed with a msg to the effect "A serious error
has occurred. Cannot continue, press <enter> to reboot." The syslog
from the first incident is large and at the end and on VT4 there is a
msg like: <30> Apr 1 13:44:51 hald[1619] 13:44:51.415 [I] OSSPEC.C:288:
/proc/mount tells, that the mount tree has changed.
On reboot, the bios disk sequence is correct in anaconda and
installation proceeds normally.
At first I thought this was an April Fools Easter Egg, but the dates are
just a coincidence.
I have the syslog and can provide it if desired.
