Re: [Fedora-livecd-list] cant find filesystem /dev/root
I finally found a way around that I am posting to the list in case it
helps someone else. Things started working when I started building
initrd using the --with ata_generic --with libata options.

I am using the latest image-creator tool from the git repo to create

When I try to boot either from the physical image or in qemu, I get the
following error:
mount: could not find filesystem '/dev/root'
and then eventually switchroot fails and the system hangs. I have tried
the original kernel and the latest released kernel. I have rebuilt
initrd based on hda1, sda1, etc. in the /etc/fstab file and get the same
problem. I have tried grub, extlinux, and even booting directly in
qemu. No matter what I get this error.
The only thing I have gotten to work is to download a vanilla kernel and
build and install it manually. It seems as though the fedora kernel
does not find the ide drives, although I cannot verify this because the
text scrolls too quickly for me to see.
Anyone know what the problem is? I am not sure if this is the best list
to ask this question, so perhaps even suggesting a more appropriate list
would be helpful too.
Thanks,
