[Solved] Sometimes Arch fails booting- won't recognize XFS filesystem
Hi,
I'm on a fresh clean installed Arch-X86_64 fully updated (kernel 3.2.5-1).
In approx half the cases, Arch won't boot (whereas, in the other cases it boots flawlessly!).
In those cases Arch completes the phase of " Triggering uevents...done" and afterwards drops me into an emergency shell claiming "unknown filesystem type 'xfs'.
I would appreciate clarifying and fixing this behavior.
Thanks

Re: [Solved] Sometimes Arch fails booting- won't recognize XFS filesystem
Here you are.
I'm using grub 0.97 and here is my /boot/grub/menu.lst
cat menu.lst
# Config file for GRUB - The GNU GRand Unified Bootloader
# /boot/grub/menu.lst

Re: [Solved] Sometimes Arch fails booting- won't recognize XFS filesystem
Can you please clarify?
Do you mean modifying my menu.lst to include entries like this one?
# (0) Arch Linux
title Arch Linux
root (hd1,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-linux root=UUID=1a70620b-ead6-4f9c-9d0b-193438b30232 ro
initrd /initramfs-linux.img

Thanks !
Successfully rebooted, once so far, after modifying menu.lst per above example.
