 Posted: Mon Aug 04, 2014 9:03 pm Post subject: Unable to mount root device during boot. |
 |
|
| Code: |
>>Using mount -t auto -o ro
mount: mounting /dev/sda3 on /newroot failed: Invalid argument
Could not mount specified ROOT, try again
Could not find the root block device in .
|
If I exit to shell and look at the dmesg output, I see the following:
| Code: |
EXT4-fs (sda3): couldn't mount as ext3 due to feature incompatibilities
EXT4-fs (sda3): couldn't mount as ext2 due to feature incompatibilities
EXT4-fs (sda3): bad geometry: block count 32997120 exceeds size of device 32996612
|
/dev/sda3 mounts perfectly fine if I boot the live CD.
Here is my fstab:
| Code: |
/dev/sda1 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 2
/dev/sda3 / ext4 noatime 0 1
/dev/sda2 none swap sw 0 0
|
The kernel config has the following options in it:
| Code: |
CONFIG_EXT4_FS=y
CONFIG_EXT4_USE_FOR_EXT23=y
CONFIG_EXT4_FS_POSIX_ACL=y
CONFIG_EXT4_FS_SECURITY=y
|
What am I doing wrong? |

Thanks for responding.
There is only one HDD in the machine and it's /dev/sda. |

| What gets me is that I've tried using the kernel config from the live CD but then there were no /dev/sda* devices at all. I started tweaking the config. and rebuilding the kernel and now the devices are there but not mountable. Why doesn't the same config that the live CD uses work? |
