	Hi Jorgen, 

		Here are the two kernel lines from your grub
configuration:

>     kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.25.10-86.fc9.i686 ro root=/dev/dm-0 quiet
> usbcore.au tosuspend=1 agp=off agppart=off

>     kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.25.10-85.fc9.i686 ro
> root=UUID=27915760-e016-4843-9d 85-6642e29dc74c quiet

I notice that the data passed with the root option is different in both
cases. I notice that the kernel line for the newer kernel points to a
device file, while your root option for the working kernel passes a
string of letters and numbers. *First of all*: Back up
your "/boot/grub/grub.conf" file.  Try copying the string of letters and
numbers from the working kernel line, and replace the device file name
with the letters and numbers. Good luck,

the Fedora Bugzilla system about this.
