Hi, I’m having a non booting system - after the boot loader it stalls at
I have no idea why it is looking in /dev/1, who told it to look there and where it’s being told to look there. :)
There is a volume group vg1 with the creatively named logical volumes root, home and swap. There’s a separate partition /dev/sda1 for /boot.
The output of
is
and
yields
I’ve tried to resolve this by booting into a Rescue environment and taking the following steps.
The —rbind /mounts is needed to avoid getting
when running mkinitrd. I haven't entirely figured out how the device mapper and related mounts work (which could very well be my problem here :)), I found that through searching similar issues.
Then from /boot within the chroot I ran
which gives doesn’t seem to give any issues and
which gives
so possibly that’s where the problem is. /dev/1 doesn't come in anywhere in the story. Now I’m well and truly stuck (and not booting) so any help would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance!
