Doubt this one will help, since its a software RAID setup... title Fedora (2.6.27.5-117.fc10.x86_64) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.x86_64 ro root=/dev/md1 rhgb quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.x86_64.img How 'bout instead, you post yours, maybe whatever is wrong will jump out at someone else. :) > The fstab in F10 uses the UUID for the root partition > instead of the disk LABEL, what's up with that? UUID has a better chance of being unique across multiple drives than LABEL does. The main argument against LABEL is that if you have to machines, each with an install using LABEL, then try to put both drives in the same machine, you don't know which disk is which anymore, bad things ensue, etc... -- Jarod Wilson jarod-ajLrJawYSntWk0Htik3J/w at public.gmane.org
