"unable to access resume device (/dev/dm-1)" after fc10 kernal update


kernal was updated via "software update"
from 2.6.27.21-170.2.56.fc10.x86_64
to 2.6.27.24-170.2.68.fc10.x86_64

Now system won't boot, getting the following error:

unable to access resume device (/dev/dm-1)
mount: could not find filesystem '/dev/root'

My /etc/fstab

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

I fixed the problem. Looks like this is what happened.

When ntfs-3g was installed, the /dev/VolGroup00/LogVolnn entries in fstab were replaced with /dev/dm-n
Later when the kernal was updated, /dev/dm-0 ended up in grub.conf as root for the new kernal. This caused the problem finding the root at boot time.

What I did was replace the /dev/dm-n entries with /dev/VolGroup00/LogVolnn in both fstab and grub.conf. Then used mkinitrd to rebuild the boot image. No problems so far on the new kernal.
