Actually, the initramfs finished without a single error: between |
56 |
|
57 |
[ 1.962007] dracut: + source_conf /etc/conf.d |
58 |
|
59 |
and |
60 |
|
61 |
[ 2.395576] dracut: Switching root |
62 |
|
63 |
there is not a single error. The initramfs did what it needed to do; |
64 |
the user space failed *after* initramfs switched root. |
65 |
|
66 |
Did you recreated the initramfs after the kernel recompilation? 1st |
67 |
rule of non-trivial initramfs: you need to recreate it everytime you |
68 |
change kernels. |
69 |
|
70 |
Which partition is the LVM one? /home or /data? Either way, either |
71 |
partition should not matter to boot the system correctly. We need to |
72 |
see the errors *after* the initramfs switched root; maybe you can |
73 |
delete /var/log/messages, reboot, and post it? |
74 |
|
