I have just upgraded two systems to kernel-3.3.2-1. One system (x86_64
hardware) upgraded flawlessly. The other (i686 hardware) now won't
boot. The grub menu comes up allowing me to choose between:
kernel-3.3.2-1.f16.i686 -- which fails (see below)
kernel-3.3.0-0.f16.i686 -- which works
When I choose kernel-3.3.2-1, there is what seems like an exceptionally
long pause, the system briefly displays some garbage, and then these
messages appear:
dracut warning no root device "block:/dev/disk/by-uuid/2d...af"
found
dracut warning no root device "block:/dev/disk/by-uuid/2d...af"
found
dropping to debug shell
sh: 0 can't access tty: job control turned off
dracut:/#
In fact, as blkid shows the device (partition) that the system appears
to be looking for is not there. However all the partitions that should
be on the system are there, including the partition that is normally
mounted on /boot. Which must be so, since the previous kernel starts
OK.
Questions:
1. What's going on here?
2. How can I fix it?
3. How can I prevent this in the future?
Many thanks - jon
