    [SOLVED] Unable to access resume device

    I get the following message when I try to boot and I can't boot.

    Code:
    Unable to access resume device UUID=a6c5a4e5-0802-4109-8ff1-c1ac097be069
    mount: could not find filesystem /dev/root
    Here is my /boot/grub/menu.lst
    Code:
    # grub.conf generated by anaconda
    #
    # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
    # NOTICE:  You do not have a /boot partition.  This means that
    #          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg.
    #          root (hd0,0)
    #          kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda1
    #          initrd /boot/initrd-version.img
    #boot=/dev/sda
    default=0
    timeout=5
    splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
    #hiddenmenu
    
    title Fedora (2.6.27.21-170.2.56 fc10.i686)
    	root (hd0,0)
    	kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27.21-170.2.56.fc10.i686 ro root=UUID=da12023a-9d91-41b1-884a-7f20d5308005 rhgb quiet
            initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.27.21-170.2.56.fc10.i686.img
    Here is my /etc/fstab
    Code:
    #
    # /etc/fstab
    # Created by anaconda on Sat Dec  6 19:42:23 2008
    #
    # Accessible filesystems, by reference, are maintained under '/dev/disk'
    # See man pages fstab(5), findfs(8), mount(8) and/or vol_id(8) for more info
    #

    sysfs                   /sys                    sysfs   defaults        0 0
    proc                    /proc                   proc    defaults        0 0
    UUID=a6c5a4e5-0802-4109-8ff1-c1ac097be069 swap                    swap    defaults        0 0
    /dev/sda5 /media/disk-1 vfat rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,shortname=lower,uid=500 0 0
    /dev/sda6 /media/disk-2 vfat rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,shortname=lower,uid=500 0 0
    And here is the output of 'rpm -q kernel'
    Code:
    kernel-2.6.27.21-170.2.56.fc10.i686
    How can I solve this problem, hope that the above info will help.

    Something is wrong with UUID only. Quick fix is, replace UUID with actual device name assigned to partition ( /dev/sdx ) in menu.lst and /etc/fstab files.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    I solved the prob.
    I removed the current kernel and removed the fedora-updates repo.
    Installed kernel and it installed kernel 2.6.27.5-117.fc10
    Edited the /boot/grub/menu.lst accordingly and it booted absolutly with no errors.

    Seems the error is with grabby. After installing the kernel it said "grubby fatal error"

    Thanks for you all for helping and let's hunt for this "grubby error"
