For others, I note from the name of your initrd that you are running x86_64 and 2.6.26.5-45.fc9 Jeffrey Ross wrote: > I tried the question on the Fedora mailing list and it was suggested I > try here as well, hopefully somebody knows what I'm doing wrong, and its > probably something simple. > > The system has been running fine for months until now > If boot the system recovery image, all the partitions are properly > identified and started.

Youy need to check/update the one in the initrd. Shouldn't have changed though unless you did a rebuild or something. What superblock version are you using? Is it possible the hostname changed? Later superblocks care about the homehost (never used this feature so I don't know if you have to invoke it - just throwing it out there). > What has changed?
