No filesystem could mount root during restore

[Victor]

I am trying to restore a RedHat6.2 image created by mondorescue(3.0.1). During PXE network boot, I got following error:

List of all partitions:

No filesystem could mount root, tried: iso9660
kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(1,0)
Pid: 1, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64 #1
Call Trace:

I basically followed README.pxe.

It works fine with RedHat5.

During mondoarchive, I noticed "Disk /dev/mapper/vg_dcvops01-lv_root doesn't contain a valid partition table" poped up, which showed up on 'fdisk -l'.

Could you share the /var/log/mondoarchive.log and /var/log/mondorestore.log files so I can see better what is happenin in your env ?

[Victor]

cannot access mondorestore.log

Hi Bruno,

The PXE restore hang from the very beginning. So there is no mondorestore.log. The screenshot shows where the restore hang.

Thank you Victor
