UUID major/minor number of root device problems with New Kernel

Hi,

I migrated my hard Disk to a New machine and edited the grub and fstab enteries.

I can boot successfully with the fallback image ( /boot/kernel26-fallback.img) but not with the regular image (  /boot/kernel26.img )

These are my grub entries.

# linux installation on /dev/hdb6.

initrd          /boot/kernel26.img
boot

initrd          /boot/kernel26-fallback.img
boot

These are my fstab entries

/dev/sda5 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sda6 / jfs defaults 0 1
/dev/sda2 /var/VMs ext3 defaults 0 1

I tried a new installation but it wont boot properly in the new machine either.

I am typing this after booting from the fallback image

Linux archlinux 2.6.33-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Apr 26 20:00:20 CEST 2010 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 2.66GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

Is there some thing wrong with the new kernel?

It gives the following error while booting

Waiting 10 seconds for device /dev/disk/by-uuid/lotsofnumbers ...
Root device '/dev/disk/by-uuid/lotsofnumbers' doesn't exist.  Attempting to create it.
ERROR:  Unable to determine major/minor number of root device '/dev/disk/by-uuid/lotsofnumbers'

Re: UUID major/minor number of root device problems with New Kernel

If you installed the grub correctly in fstab  use the /dev/sda1 etc notation to mount the drives that will solve this issue.

Re: UUID major/minor number of root device problems with New Kernel

Hi,

Grub is installed correctly because the fallback image boots properly.
And for /etc/fstab I posted it earlier the entries are

/dev/sda5 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sda6 / jfs defaults 0 1
/dev/sda2 /var/VMs ext3 defaults 0 1

This is also right because the fallback image boots well from this configuration and lets me work.

The problem I guess is in the new kernel because a fresh install also showed me the same problem.

thanks for your input :-)

Re: UUID major/minor number of root device problems with New Kernel

I missed that. try with the /dev/sda6 instead of uuid in the kernel line.
kernel  /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/fa1f4a4d-b17a-41b1-9506-bffb685a0b6f ro
If that did not work try to create a new image.

Re: UUID major/minor number of root device problems with New Kernel

I am having this same problem as well, but it is an existing install, and started after the last upgrade.

I will try the suggestion above, and report back



ETA:

see my sig....:P

Re: UUID major/minor number of root device problems with New Kernel

OK,

I booted from a live-usb, and found that the image failed to build. Does anyone have any insight here?
I'm not familiar with chrooting into the system from another OS, can anyone help with it?

Here is my pacman.log

Re: UUID major/minor number of root device problems with New Kernel

well, chrooted in and tried to run mkinitcpio, and found that ......wait for it........ I had no space left on the partition.

It generated the image successfully this time around. Now to reboot and see if that was all.

Re: UUID major/minor number of root device problems with New Kernel

Thanks kgas :-)

I tried with the /dev/sda6 instead of uuid in the kernel line.

kernel  /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/fa1f4a4d-b17a-41b1-9506-bffb685a0b6f ro

and it gave me the same sort of error

ERROR:  Unable to determine major/minor number of root device '/dev/sda6'

I took a backup of the fall back image that I booted with and run

$sudo su -
#cd /boot
#mkinitcpio -p kernel26

It created the new kernel image as you said and it boots well even with the UUID in grub menu :-)

But this is on the disk with the 32 bit kernel I migrated from the old machine.

I have a second sata drive with a fresh 64-bit installation which showed the same error.
So I booted with the install cd, mounted the 64-bit install partition, chrooted into it and created a new image as before.
Not it shows a differrent error message while booting :-(

Waiting 10 seconds for device /dev/disk/by-uuid/lotsofnumbers ...
JFS: nTxBlock = 8192, nTxLock = 65536
request_module : runaway loop modprobe binfmt-464c
request_module : runaway loop modprobe binfmt-464c
request_module : runaway loop modprobe binfmt-464c
request_module : runaway loop modprobe binfmt-464c

Why would that be? :-)

Thanks

Re: UUID major/minor number of root device problems with New Kernel

I think i got the same or very similar issue here today. I have clean installed from Arch 2010.5 yesterday onto Dell E6400 and today i have enabled the testing repository and upgraded to 2.6.34 x86_64 kernel and i think there was a major change in the SATA or some part of it which results with being unable to detect the SATA disk properly.

I have tried to chroot and replace the UUID in the grub config with device for the root fs but this failed with the same problem.

The next idea was to chroot and doo mkinitcpio and remove the autodect HOOK from the line which results in building the full image, and this now booted fine.

So my advice is to remove the autodetect from HOOKS in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and rebuild the image.

Re: UUID major/minor number of root device problems with New Kernel

I'm having the same issue but messing with mkinitcpio doesn't help. Any other ideas?

SOLVED! by adding "sata" to my HOOKS and recreating the image.

HOOKS="base udev autodetect sata filesystems
