cat /etc/fstab LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults ... ... / and /boot are mounted fine. I don't think labels are the problem. I certainly haven't changed the partitioning of this box since the October RH8 install. Therefore labels should be as disk druid / the RH installer left them. Grub finds / just fine to load the original initrd also. If I make a change like: title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-19.8.0) root (hd0,2) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-19.8.0 ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi initrd /initrd-2.4.18-19.8.0.img.bogus I get different errors, without the kernel booting through the IDE stuff first. :-) Adam On Sun, 2003-01-05 at 09:39, John wrote: > On 5 Jan 2003, Adam Manock wrote: > > > > > mount: error 16 mounting proc > > Creating block devices > > Creating root device > > mkrootdev: label / not found > > Mounting root filesystem > > kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k ext3, errno = 2 > > kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k freeext3, errno = 2 > > mount: error 9 mounting ext3 > > ... > > ... > > Looks to me your root filesystem's not labelled any more. > > Boot your rescue disk and check with e2label: > [root@gateway log]# e2label /dev/hda1 > /boot > [root@gateway log]# e2label /dev/hda2 > / > > You can relabel a partition: > e2label /dev/hda1 /boot > > > Or you can change your /detc/fstab to reflect the device names. > > > > -- > Please, reply only to the list. > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Redhat-devel-list mailing list > Redhat-devel-list@redhat.com > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-devel-list _______________________________________________ Redhat-devel-list mailing list Redhat-devel-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-devel-list
