Hello, I used yum update on a newly installed dual cpu i386 FC6 system a couple days ago. My system was updated from Fedora Core 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6xen to 2.6.20-1.2948.fc6xen. The update went fine. After reboot, I got the following kernel panic: Scanning logical volumes Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while... No volume groups found Activating logical volumnes Volume group "vg0" not found Creating root device. Mounting root filesystem. mount: could not fine filesystem '/dev/root' Setting up other filesystems Setting up new root fs setuproot: moving /dev failed: No such file or directory no fstab.sys, mounting internal defaults setuproot: error mounting /proc failed: No such file or directory setuproot: error mounting /sys failed: No such file or directory Switching to new root and running init. unmounting old /dev unmounting old /proc unmounting old /sys switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! If I'd boot into the original kernel, it booted just fine. So, today I took a spare system and installed FC6 fresh from installation disks. The very first thing I did after the installation was completed was do a yum update. After reboot, the exact same problem. Both systems don't work with the latest XEN kernel. For reference, the only packages installed from the graphical installer were these: Applications/Editors: vim-enhanced Applications/Text-based Internet: lynx Base System/Base: finger gnupg man-pages mdadm mlocate nfs-utils openssh-clients oopenssh-server rsync sudo telnet wget which yum Base System/Virtualization: virt-manager Since the errors indicate LVM problems, here's info about my disk layout. I'm configured using two 72GB scsi disks using raid1, then lvm on top. Disk partitioning: /dev/sda (72GB) /dev/sda1 (102MB) /dev/sda2 (69.9GB) /dev/sdb (72GB) /dev/sdb1 (102MB) /dev/sdb2 (69.9GB) /dev/sda1 & /dev/sdb1 are mirrored to /dev/md0 used by /boot partition (102MB) /dev/sda2 & /dev/sdb2 are mirrored to physical volume /dev/md1 used in VolGroup00 /dev/md1 is LVM VolGroup00 and contains these logical volumes /dev/VolGroup00/lvdom0 (root) 3GB /dev/VolGroup00/lvswap0 (swap) 4GB The rest of the space was left empty for xen guest partitions. I've edited grub.conf to use /dev/mapper vs /dev/VolGroup00, but nothing has booted with the new kernel. Is there a problem with the new kernel? Where should I go for a solution? Should I just run the old kernel for now? If I'm not in the best forum for this, where should I go for help? Any help would be appreciated!
