3.19.8 on CentOS 6.6 fails to boot because it cannot find root: "No root device block:/dev/disk/by-uuid/..."
After looking into this more there are two issues: a) scsi_wait_scan is not found, and no longer exists in the 3.xx kernels b) the particular box that is failing has 20+ SSD SATA drives. This appears to be an interaction between the updated kernel, and the older 6.6 dracut scripts. Since this is a customer box, I need to be able to mod the scripts or kernel boot line so that it boots but still works if an older rev kernel is re-installed. Any ideas appreciated, I'm somewhat new to dracut and friends. Also, new kernel boots fine when number of SATA disks is <= 4 (based on tests on similar hardware -- just fewer disks). -thanks for any help in advance. -- Dennis Vadura -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe initramfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
