 Posted: Sun Apr 06, 2008 10:53 am Post subject: [SOLVED] VFS problem or NFS problem |
 |
|
Hi,
Since yesterday I've got a strange boot problem :
The boot process fails during the kernel loading and displays :
| Code: |
Root-NFS: No NFS Server available giving up.
VFS : Unable to mount root fs via NFS, trying floppy.
VFS: Insert root floppy ans press ENTER
|
Then I press ENTER without inserting a floppy and I get :
| Code: |
VFS: Cannot open root device "sda1~" or unknown_block(2,0)
Please append a correct boot "root=" option ; here are the available partitions :
0300-419302 hda driver : ide-cdrom
0800-195360984 sda driver : sd
..... sda1
..... sda2
..... sda6
|
I have a different root device name each time I boot ! i.e: There I've got : "sda1~" but I can get "sda1vdp" or something else ....
That's very strange ....
I've got that problem since yesterday just after updating my whole system.
I keep my computer turned on serveral days 4 days ago. But i've already done it before and everything worked after ....
Maybe it's because of that but I don't think so.
Therefore I decided to build the latest kernel thanks to another kernel that allowed me to boot normaly.
I built it : everything worked out just after and now nothing works even if I try to boot with my old kernel .....
After that I decided to check my sda1 partition with : "ext2fsck -c /dev/sda1 and ext2fsck -y -v /dev/sda1 and badblocks /dev/sda1"
It did no change anything.
I don't understand very well because sometime I can boot correctly although I cannot most of the time ....
Do you think it's an hardware problem ? Or a problem due to the update I've done yesterday ?
Could you help me please ?
Thanks,
[/code]

We found the problem !
When we remove "root=/dev/sdX" in editing grub we can boot normaly
It looks like a grub problem or something like .... probably due to my latest update ....
I have to wait for the next update perhaps it will fix it.
I think.
Read this post : "Unable To Boot (GRUB/Kernel/VFS)" that is just below mine |
