These are the errors I'm getting:

Creating root device
mkrootdev: label /1 not found
Mounting root filesystem
mount: error 2 mounting ext3
mount: error 2 mounting none
Switching to new root
switchroot: mount failed: 22
umount /initrd/dev failed: 2
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!



I can mount all of these partitions in rescue mode, but it doesn't work outside 
of rescue mode.

Any ideas why?
