Issue

  • After the installation with iBFT, the system doesn't boot up.
  • The following errors were output on console.
dracut: FATAL: Resolving 0.0.0.0 via ARP on eth0 failed
dracut: Refusing to continue
dracut Warning: No root device "block:/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root" found

And then,

Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
  • This was installed in private network, so there is no gateway configured in iBFT.
  • The iscsi target is in the same subnet.
