What were you trying to do?
System in beta cluster automatically updated to linux athena 9.3.7
What's wrong:
On a newly installed linux-athena workstation, after a night of updates, the
grub confirguration options were changed to boot something called Red Hat
Enterprise Linux WS. Selecting the boot option causes Kernel Panic with
"Cannot open root device "hdc7", Please append a correct "root=" boot
option". Editing the grub configuration to its original state does not find
the correct image file, reinstalling linux-athena causes the same problem
after one night. Is this a known issue?
What should have happened:
It should leave the grub options from the previous kernel, and not have issues mounting /dev/hdc7
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
