Hi, just two short ideas:
1. did you apply all patches? I think I remember that something has been fixed in that area. 2. please make sure with lsblk that all of the used devices have a UUID set. Dracut does require a UUID by default and fails if it does not find any on this block device. In doubt, change /etc/dracut.conf and add persistent_policy=by-path then: 1. grub2-install 2. dracut -f Berthold On Wed, 11 Mar 2015 16:12:33 +0200 Offer Baruch <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi list, > > I am facing a strange issue with SLES12. > > Whenever I add a new DASD (using dasd_configure) and add it to the > fstab the next boot will fail with: > > Timed out waiting for device dev-disk-by\x2dpath-ccw...2dpart1.device > Dependency failed for /mountpoint > Dependency failed for Local File Systems. > > As the device needed for that mountpoint (/dev/dasdb1) did not start > in time. > I then get into maintenance mode.
