Boot still fails trying to mount swap by using OLD UUID: rdsosreport.txt ends with: [ 8.761225] usb 2-1.5: new full-speed USB device number 3 using ehci-pci [ 8.848625] usb 2-1.5: New USB device found, idVendor=8087, idProduct=07dc [ 8.848627] usb 2-1.5: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=0, SerialNumber=0 ### boot stalls here for 30 seconds... [ 38.441133] dracut Warning: Could not boot. [ 38.443890] dracut Warning: /dev/disk/by-uuid/1d2df15b-5c80-43b5-8642-dc0a64cc214f does not exist + '[' -f /run/initramfs/init.log ']' See also https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=995843 Yet, still unable to find where the old UUID is coming from... The old swap UUID is buried in initrd-3.12.26-tmb-laptop-1.mga4.img -- all well and good; but it was a PAIN to get this resolved. Finally solved missing zsh files to be able to chroot and re-install active kernel: sysresccd# rpm -Uvh /distros/remote/mageia/distrib/4/x86_64/media/core/updates/kernel-tmb-laptop-3.12.26-1.mga4-1-1.mga4.x86_64.rpm Preparing... ################################# [100%] package kernel-tmb-laptop-3.12.26-1.mga4-1-1.mga4.x86_64 is already installed sysresccd# rpm -Uvh --force /distros/remote/mageia/distrib/4/x86_64/media/core/updates/kernel-tmb-laptop-3.12.26-1.mga4-1-1.mga4.x86_64.rpm Preparing... ################################# [100%] Updating / installing... 1:kernel-tmb-laptop-3.12.26-1.mga4-################################# [100%] All this because after using mcc to remove old kernels, I was left with a new UUID for the swap partition. :P Now to reboot to see if this is the final solution.... Mageia 4 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-09-19. It is is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Mageia version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we weren't able to fix it before Mageia 4's end of life. If you are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia. If it's valid in several versions, select the highest and add MGAxTOO in whiteboard for each other valid release. Example: it's valid in cauldron and Mageia 5, set to cauldron and add MGA5TOO. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If you would like to help fixing bugs in the future, don't hesitate to join the packager team via our mentoring program [1] or join the teams that fit you most [2].
