retitle 347482 Does not support "!" separator in /dev/mapper names severity 347482 important thanks On Wednesday 11 January 2006 03:44, you wrote: > > what were the boot args? > > cat /proc/cmdline > root=/dev/mapper!Debian-root ro > > The problem seems to be in the "!".

If I change the "!" to "/" in grub's menu.lst, the system reboots fine. I would guess though that the "!" is an accepted delimiter and should be supported. Actually, grub has the following options in its menu.lst: # kopt=root=/dev/mapper/Debian-root ro # kopt_2_6=root=/dev/mapper!Debian-root ro It could well be that the same goes for RAID (or anything that uses /dev/mapper)!
