    Problem with new kernel rpm

    Here is what happens when I try to run kernel-2.6.18-1.2868.fc6 which I updated using SMART. This is a desktop PC.

    Code:
    ACPI: Getting cpuindex for acpiid 0x1
    ACPI: Getting cpuindex for acpiid 0x2
    ACPI: Getting cpuindex for acpiid 0x3
    
    Red Hat Nash version 5.1.19.0.2 starting
    setuproot: moving /dev failed: No such file or directory
    setuproot: error mounting /proc: No such file or directory
    setuproot: error mounting /sys: No such file or directory
    
    ERROR opening /dev/console
    Trying to use fd 0 instead
    WARNING: can't access (null)
    exec of init ((null)) failed!!! Bad Address
    Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init
    Also why is it that SMART doesn't delete the kernel that yum normally would?

    The 2849 kernel works.

    Used SMART to remove the kernel, and then installed via a yum update -y kernel*

    Same problem.

    I've also tried the following options on the kernel line

    1) all-generic-ide
    2) irqpoll
    3) pci=nommconf

    The solution to the problem was a simple one. There was one difference between the 2849 and 2868 grub kernel lines. The 2849 had root=LABEL=/ whereas 2868 had root=/dev/hdd6. Once I changed the 2868 line to reflect what the 2849 line was showing it booted without issues.

    I had previously seen the difference however I didn't think it would matter as /dev/hdd6 is mounted as /. And it isn't part of a LVM physical volume, just a reiserfs partition.

    EDIT: The answer to this problem lies herein in this thread. The issue is with my fstab mounting /dev/hdd6 as the root partition whereas the actual install is on /dev/sda5.
