    N O T E:
    \nI have a separated \/boot<\/code> partition on my systems. In standard configuration delivered by CentOS \/boot<\/code> and \/<\/code> will be on the same partition. In this case, the path to kernel and initrd<\/code> will start with \/boot\/vmlinuz...<\/code> and \/boot\/initramfs...<\/code> . The root partition mostly will be root=\/dev\/sda1<\/code>.<\/p>\n
    Try to boot your system with your manually built grub.conf<\/code>. If anything works fine you can add new boot entries by CentOS\u2019 tool grubby<\/code>. For example:<\/p>\n

    root@host:~ $ grubby --add-kernel=<\/code>\"\/boot\/vmlinuz-2.6.32-279.22.1.el6.x86_64\"<\/code>\\<\/code><\/div>\n
    --initrd=<\/code>\"\/boot\/initramfs-2.6.32-279.22.1.el6.x86_64.img\"<\/code>\\<\/code><\/div>\n
    --title=<\/code>\"CentOS (2.6.32-279.22.1.el6.x86_64)\"<\/code> --copy-default --<\/code>make<\/code>-default<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    The tool grubby<\/code> will replace the \/dev\/sda?<\/code> device file with the UUID string of the partition.
    \nYou can use the next line to generate an entry for each kernel image in \/boot\/<\/code>:<\/p>\n

    You should check the \/etc\/grub.conf<\/code> for duplicate entries or maybe you will resort the boot order. Reboot your system to check if anything works fine again.<\/p>\n

In that case, change the label into an unique one, or use the device name or UUID= to specify the root device in grub.conf. To change the label on \/dev\/sdb2 to \/root-1 for example:\r\n\r\nRaw\r\n\r\n# e2label \/dev\/sdb2 \/root-1\r\n\r\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Another cause for this error can be a bad path to the initrd in grub.conf.\r\n\r\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 If root device in your kernel line is invalid will also cause this message. To resolve this you can edit \/boot\/grub\/grub.conf, changing the root entry in the most recent kernel entry to point to the correct root device.\r\n\r\nDiagnostic Steps\r\n\r\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 To check if you have multiple filesystems with the same label run the following command (uuid's simplified for clarity):\r\n\r\nRaw\r\n\r\n# blkid\r\n$ cat sos_commands\/filesys\/blkid \r\n\/dev\/sda1: LABEL=\"\/boot\" UUID=\"aaaaa\" TYPE=\"ext3\" SEC_TYPE=\"ext2\" \r\n\/dev\/sdb1: LABEL=\"\/boot\" UUID=\"aaaaa\" TYPE=\"ext3\" SEC_TYPE=\"ext2\" \r\n\/dev\/sda2: LABEL=\"\/\" UUID=\"bbbbb\" SEC_TYPE=\"ext2\" TYPE=\"ext3\" \r\n\/dev\/sdb2: LABEL=\"\/\" UUID=\"bbbbb\" SEC_TYPE=\"ext2\" TYPE=\"ext3\" \r\n\r\nWe can see above that there are 2 disks with the same label. Check to see if they have the same wwwid (these commands are for RHEL5. For RHEL6 you need to use scsi_id --whitelisted \/dev\/sd* instead.\r\nRaw\r\n\r\n# scsi_id -gus \/block\/sda\r\n3600001234567\r\n# scsi_id -gus \/block\/sdb\r\nHITATCHI-abc123\r\n\r\nThe above clearly shows that they are different disks (i.e. not a multiple path to the same device).\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
