Another "failed to parse block name for" problem
You guessed it, I have update to 2.6.28 kernel and now I can't boot. I've read (almost) all related posts but can't get it to work.
This is what I'm getting:
...
:: Running Hook [lvm2]
:: Running Hook [filesystems]
:: Loading rot filesystem module...
Attempting to create root device '/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-root'
ERROR: Failed to parse block device name for '/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-root' unknown
ERROR: root fs cannot be detected. Try using the rootfstype= kernel parameter.
Waiting for devices to settle...done.
Root device '/dev'mappper/VolGroup00-root' doesn't exist.
attempting to create it.
ERROR: Failed to parse block device name for '/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-root'
ERROR: Unable to create/detect root device '/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-root'
Dropping to a recovery shell... type 'exit' to reboot
NOTE: klibc contains no 'ls' binary. use 'echo *' instead
If the device '/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-root' gets created while you are here.
try adding 'rootdelay=0' or higher to the kernel comman-line
ramfs$Tried rootdelay=0 and rootfstype=ext3, didn't help.
Mounted / to /mnt and all others accordingly, chroot'ed to /mnt
tried:
mkinitcpio -v -k 2.6.28-ARCH -g /boot/kernel26.imgDidn't help, please help!

Re: Another "failed to parse block name for" problem
The could be a problem with your mkinitcpio configuration. Please include /etc/mkinitcpio.conf

Re: Another "failed to parse block name for" problem
Well the last code block is actually from the file /etc/mkinitcpio.conf 
I just forgot to put a title. Anyway I've installed the new version of Arch and everything is OK now.
Thanks

#
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng netfs crond avahi-daemon avahi-dnsconfd net-profiles @openntpd alsa hal dbus gpm)Here is my mkinitcpio.conf
# vim:set ft=sh
# MODULES
# The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
# run. Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
# in this array. For instance:
# MODULES="piix ide_disk reiserfs"
MODULES=""
# BINARIES
# This setting includes, into the CPIO image, and additional
# binaries a given user may wish. This is run first, so may
# be used to override the actual binaries used in a given hook.
# (Existing files are NOT overwritten is already added)
# BINARIES are dependancy parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
BINARIES=""
# FILES
# This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
# as-is and are not parsed in anyway. This is useful for config files.
# Some users may wish to include modprobe.conf for custom module options,
# like so:
# FILES="/etc/modprobe.conf"
FILES=""
# HOOKS
# This is the most important setting in this file. The HOOKS control the
# modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
# Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
# order in which HOOKS are added. Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for
# help on a given hook.
# 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
# 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
# 'modload' may be used in place of 'udev', but is not recommended
# 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
# Examples:
# This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
# No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
# HOOKS="base"
#
# This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
# work as a sane default
# HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata filesystems"
#
# This is identical to the above, except the old ide subsystem is
# used for IDE devices instead of the new pata subsystem.
# HOOKS="base udev autodetect ide scsi sata filesystems"
#
# This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
# No autodetection is done.
# HOOKS="base udev pata scsi sata usb filesystems"
#
# This setup assembles an pata raid array with an encrypted root FS.
# Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H raid' for more information on raid devices.
# HOOKS="base udev pata raid encrypt filesystems"
#
# This setup loads an lvm2 volume group on a usb device.
# HOOKS="base udev usb lvm2 filesystems"
HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata lvm2 filesystems"Here's my /etc/fstab
#
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>

/dev/linuxgroup/arch / ext3 defaults 0 1Is there any way to get arch to boot when the root partition is LVM? Is there anything off on any of my configuration files? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Another "failed to parse block name for" problem
Try to write in modules section modules you need to boot:
-Filesytem
-Disc interface
And after that write in command line as root mkinitcpio -p kernel26 (your kernel name).

Is there a way to do this if you are not the creator of the thread?

Re: Another "failed to parse block name for" problem
Ok than... i'm experiencing the same problem... Basically my /root is in a ext4 lvm'ed partition.
I set USELVM="yes" in rc.conf , now should i add in the mkinitcpio.conf:
MODULES="ext4, sata" and then chroot "mkinitcpio -v -k 2.6.28-ARCH -g /boot/kernel26.img"
Yes? is it correcto? Expecially the ext4 module?
