Hello:
I upgraded to FC12 with preupgrade and all seemed to go well until I rebooted and now I get the following set of messages:
dracut: FATAL Don't know how to handle 'root = /root'
dracut : Refusing to continue
dracut: FATAL Don't know how to handle 'root = /root'
dracut : Refusing to continue
Signal Caught!
Boot has failed, Sleeping Forever
and the system hangs at this point.
I have no idea how to solve this issue. My grub.conf is bwlow as is the contents of /boot and /boot/grub.
I really need to get this running as it has a pair of vBulletin discussion web that are paid sites - owners are underatanding to a point but still....help is greatly appreciated and credit given for any assistance publically.
ll /boot
