kernel update 2.6.25.4-10.fc8 breaking bootup

[David Halik]

Hi all,

I just yum upgraded three different FC8 workstations I have here at work 
to the latest kernel update and all three broke in the same manner. Upon 
restart grub loads the kernel and initrd, then it goes through the 
classic errors of:

Unable to access resume device (LABEL=SWAP-sda2)
mount: could not find filesystem '/dev/root'
setuproot: moving /dev failed: No such file or directory
setuproot: error mounting /proc: No such file or directory
setuproot: error mounting /sys: No such file or directory
switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory

My guess is that the initrd has bad info from the mkinitrd during the 
kernel install. Anyone else seeing this? These are installs that have 
been working fine with FC8 for months, and have had nothing change. All 
that I did was install the kernel update with yum, and the old kernel 
still works fine. As far as I can tell grub.conf is also correct. Any ideas?
