So, the deal is i can't boot into Arch Linux after kernel
upgrade ('pacman -S kernel26'). It tells me there is no
device marked as 'root' in 'kernel' GRUB line. I've booted
with Ubuntu and found only three files in /dev folder:
console, zero and null. Actually, it's no very critical for
me due to I have ubuntu but I have really fallen in love
with Arch.
Menu.lst (eeerrr, I don't really know why): title Arch Linux root (hd0,8) kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/20836d4e-42b5-4079-8135-c050b477213a ro initrd /boot/kernel26.img title Arch Linux Fallback root (hd0,8) kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/20836d4e-42b5-4079-8135-c050b477213a ro initrd /boot/kernel26-fallback.img Replacing 'hdX' with 'sdX' and '/dev/disk/by-uuid/[UUID]' with '/dev/(sd|hd)X' gives nothing. As I said it looks like Arch doesn't see any device. I should notice that everything is ok alright until I upgrade kernel: I had to reinstall system three times to realise that. Google gives nothing. |
This task depends upon
Steps to reproduce: just switch on, try to boot Arch and enjoy ramfs console.
To be intended as:
Replacing "root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/20836d4e-42b5-4079-8135-c050b477213a" with "root=/dev/sda9"?
Assuming boot and root in the same partition, try this:
root (hd0,8)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda9 ro
initrd /boot/kernel26.img
Check the fallback image with break=y and load your module manually.
any news?
