Yeah this is probably just udev not liking the fact that mkinitrd does not setup /run as a tmpfs mount. Dracut runs udev from the initrd and thus setups up /run etc. So please try installing dracut and regenerating the initrd: dracut -f /boot/initrd-3.1.4-desktop-2.mga2.img Make sure you have a working initrd saved just in case you need it before running this command: e.g. cp /boot/initrd-3.1.4-desktop-2.mga2.img /boot/arg.img This way you can always edit your grub command to specify this initrd manually in the case of a hideous failure! We'll likely be forcing dracut on people pretty soon anyway and might drop mkinitrd completely from mga2, so it's worth giving us feedback if you can :) Cheers Col -- Colin Guthrie colin(at)mageia.org http://colin.guthr.ie/ Day Job: Tribalogic Limited http://www.tribalogic.net/ Open Source: Mageia Contributor http://www.mageia.org/ PulseAudio Hacker http://www.pulseaudio.org/ Trac Hacker http://trac.edgewall.org/

Can you state which init system you are using, sysvinit or udev. And also can you state which initrd generator you are using, mkinitrd or dracut.
