I have 2 lab z/VM guest machines both are RHEL 6.5, one registered one not registered. I recently ran 'yum update' on both and all seemed to go well until I did a reboot. Now the registered machine fails to boot, the other one works fine.
I'm probably not going to fix it (unless someone sees an easy fix) I am more curious as to whether I did something wrong, or any guesses as to what happened. Anyways here is the last few messages: VFS: Cannot open root device "disk/by-path/ccw-0.0.0100-part2" or unknown-block(0,0) Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions: Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) CPU: 0 Not tainted 2.6.32-573.8.1.el6.s390x #1 Process swapper (pid: 1, task: 000000007fe83370, ksp: 000000007fe8b958) 000000007fe8bd20 000000007fe8bca0 0000000000000002 0000000000000000 000000007fe8bd40 000000007fe8bcb8 000000007fe8bcb8 00000000004f7108 0000000000000011 0000000000000000 000000007eb63000 000003d281bb7da8 000000000000000d 000000000000000c 000000007fe8bd10 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 000000000010582c 000000007fe8bca0 000000007fe8bce0 Call Trace: ([<000000000010572c>] show_trace+0xe8/0x138) [<00000000004f6f42>] panic+0xde/0x250 [<00000000008744c2>] mount_block_root+0x292/0x33c [<00000000008747d6>] prepare_namespace+0x1e2/0x220 [<0000000000873890>] kernel_init+0x464/0x47c [<000000000010a746>] kernel_thread_starter+0x6/0xc [<000000000010a740>] kernel_thread_starter+0x0/0xc HCPGIR450W CP entered; disabled wait PSW 00020001 80000000 00000000 001156BA ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
