Description Stephan Rickauer 2007-09-05 10:33:57 UTC 
# grep ROOT /etc/fstab
LABEL=ROOT on / type xfs (rw)

# grep ROOT /boot/grub/menu.lst
    kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz root=LABEL=ROOT splash=silent showopts


When booting, the system bails out with:

"Waiting for device /dev/root to appear: .... Could not find /dev/root. Want me to fall back to /dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:10:0-scsi-0:0:0:0-part1? (Y/n)"

When saying 'Y' the sytem will continue to boot.


Chaning from label to device based mounting (/dev/sda1 in my case) fixes the issue.
