Fedora 12 Alpha on VirtualBox 3.0.4 won't boot 'Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)'
by Niels Haase 26 Aug '09

26 Aug '09

Hello, I try to install the Fedora 12 Alpha x86_64 install DVD into VirtualBox 3.0.4. After the Installation of the software, the next screen is the "reboot" now. I'm just wondering, since there was no question about grub configuration. Anyway, after reboot, the system doesn't come up because of this: VFS: Cannot open root device "mapper/vg_fedora12vb-lv_root" or unknown-block(0,0) Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions: 0800 62914560 sda driver: sd 0801 204800 sda1 0802 62705708 sda2 0b00 1048575 sr0 driver: sr Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) I have no idea was is going on here, since this is a install on a fresh disk (use entire disk). The only notable thing maybe that I have enabled both repos, Install and Rawhide during the install. I filled a bug [1]. Did anyone else see this? Or did something may know which additional information should be add to the bug report? Thanks for your help! [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/519350 -- Regards, Niels

No waiting to press ENTER on f12 alpha install
by Robert P. J. Day 26 Aug '09

26 Aug '09

i just burned a copy of f12a, popped it into a gateway mx7120 laptop, saw the isolinux line, then a line that read something like: "press ENTER to continue the installation" but in less than a second, that line disappeared and the install process carried on. why no wait until i press ENTER? or perhaps at least a longer timeout? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.

2009-08-27 - Fedora test day - Dracut
by James Laska 25 Aug '09

25 Aug '09

Fedora Test Day - Dracut Date: 2009-08-27 Time: All day Location: #fedora-test-day on irc.freenode.net Greetings folks, This week's Fedora Test Day will focus on exercising the Fedora 12 mkinitrd/nash replacement ... <drumroll> ... Dracut [1]. If you find yourself wondering, "what the heck is that?" The following snippet from the fedoraproject wiki [2] best describes the change. With Dracut, the initramfs has one purpose in life - getting the rootfs mounted so that we can transition to the real rootfs. This is all driven by device availability. Therefore, instead of scripts hard-coded to do various things, we depend on udev to create device nodes for us and then when we have the rootfs's device node, we mount and carry on. It is worth noting that dracut will impact *every* Fedora 12 user (and potentially users of other distros). As a result, there are several ways to get involved with testing, ranging from basic to more advanced: 1. Download the live image and boot on your system(s) 2. Update your existing Fedora 11 (or Fedora 12 Alpha) system(s) to use dracut, and reboot 3. Install Fedora 12/Rawhide targetting specific root partitiong schemes (iSCSI, dmraid, RAID+lvm+luks, etc...) I invite you to join #fedora-test-day this Thursday, August 27 2009 to help test dracut. At the very least, providing feedback on the live image will be much appreciated. Additional test feedback per the wiki guidlines is also encouraged. Stay tuned for more details at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2009-08-27_Dracut. Thanks, James [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Dracut [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Dracut#Technical_details

Tuesday Alpha and Rawhide: Advantage Ubuntu
by Chuck Forsberg WA7KGX 25 Aug '09

25 Aug '09

Today's 64 bit alpha images are too big to fit on a CD with Nero, yet are coded such that Nero refuses to burn them onto a DVD. The 64 bit pxeboot Rawhide locks up at various early points. It is possible that something modified BIOS settings, so I reset the bios to fail-safe defaults. Still no luck with pxeboot rawhide. Fedora 11 (i386 and x86_64) and XP work normally. -- Chuck Forsberg caf(a)omen.com www.omen.com 503-614-0430 Developer of Industrial ZMODEM(Tm) for Embedded Applications Omen Technology Inc "The High Reliability Software" 10255 NW Old Cornelius Pass Portland OR 97231 FAX 629-0665

Mostly I don't have a need to switch MAC address from that > on the NIC but in this case I did need to. The initial graphical screen is the one that just says "Fedora" and has a "Next" button. You can get to a shell prompt from there. The only other thing before that is the text-based screen that asks if you want to do a media check. You can switch away during language and keyboard ("locale") selection, too. Anyway, I've never tried to configure the network from the command line in the installer, so I can't say you'll actually be able to do that (without getting overridden later). But the shell is on tty2. The GUI is on tty6 to get back.

At least it worked for someone. So who runs smolts.org? Wikipedia has technical measures in place to combat vandalism. It might be worth suggesting them to smolts, as well, but the most suggestive contact info is a link on the main page that points to an empty Fedoraproject:About page.
