Are you sure that is a grub2 message? It seems more likely that this |
| 10 |
is a message from the kernel (unless it is referring to the grub2 root |
| 11 |
- posting the entire error would probably help here, and I didn't |
| 12 |
realize grub2 even can find its root with a UUID assuming it actually |
| 13 |
can). Does your kernel have virtio support enabled? What initramfs |
| 14 |
are you using? The problem could lie with either. See if you can get |
| 15 |
the initramfs to give you a shell (usually this can be done with a |
| 16 |
kernel command line option) and see what block devices it can see (run |
| 17 |
blkid or such). |

If you're not using an initramfs then that is your problem. You can't |
| 20 |
use UUID to reference your root if you aren't using an initramfs. |
