When booting the FC3 kernel upgrade (kernel-smp-2.6.9-1.678_FC3), I get
> [nash ... starting]
> mkrootdev: label / not found
> mount: error 2 mounting ext3
> mount: error 2 mounting none
> switchroot: mount failed: 22
> umount: /initrd/dev/ failed: 2
> Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init
Yet when running the original (2.6.9-1.667smp) FC3 kernel I get
findfs LABEL=/
/dev/sda6
...naturally enough, since I'm able to boot the original and do this
there. :^)
I see nothing unusual about my /boot/grub/grub.conf:

SATA? Yes: /dev/sda is ATA ST380013AS (ata_piix, ICH5).
Same problem with non-smp 2.6.9-1.678_FC3, BTW, and, yes, if I make
root=/dev/sda6 in grub.conf the new kernels remain unbootable.
Anyone else seeing this?
