I've just added the following to the CentOS bugtracker for CentOS-7 0009860. I admit to not being sure if it's the same issue, or a separate one, but this and other Dell servers - I *think* they're all R420's, but I could be wrong, just all do the same thing on boot. ***************** I've just updated a CentOS 7 server to the latest kernel, vmlinuz-3.10.0-327.4.5.el7.x86_64, and the server fails to boot. It has failed on every 327 kernel.
Server: Dell R420, 2 Xeons, 124G RAM.
From the rdsosreport.txt, the relevant portion is:
[ 3.317974] <servername> systemd[1]: Starting File System Check on /dev/disk// by-label/\x2f...

And it stops, and drops me into the rdshell. Not that I can mkdir /mnt, and mount /dev/sda1, and /boot is there, and I can mount /dev/sda3, and root is there just fine.
