After you install NGEL Linux, sometimes you may face issue while mounting root filesystem.
It is a common issue and can occur if the /etc/fstab file not created successfully.
You can verify the contents of fstab file using below command:
# cat /etc/fstab
If the file is empty, it means the install script is not able to read the file successfully because there are no spaces around / in exisiting fstab file as per the script in install file.
fstablinenumber=`cat /etc/fstab | grep -in ' / ' | cut -d ":" -f1`
newuuid=`blkid | grep -i $partitionnumber | cut -d "=" -f2 | sed 's/ TYPE//;s/"//g'`
newfstabline="UUID=$newuuid / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 0"
###creating new fstab file for updated root
sed "${fstablinenumber}a $newfstabline" /etc/fstab | sed ${fstablinenumber}d > $ROOTPATH/etc/fstab
echo "FSTAB file updated..."
So you can either vi existing fstab file and enter space around / to resolve the issue.
And then you can run the NGELINUX install script again.
Or you can create the file manually:
[root@nglinux ~]# blkid | grep -i /dev/sda1 /dev/sda1: UUID="1c606740-6a94-42d0-bfdc-7b05a0d897e2" TYPE="ext4" And then update fstab with new root: UUID=1c606740-6a94-42d0-bfdc-7b05a0d897e2 / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
