Issue/Introduction

Server that have been running without problems , suddenly it has started to fail.

- Looks like the / file system went read only, went we tried to reboot the system didnt boot because couldn't find the kernel image.

- We generate the kernel again with : 

   dracut -f /boot/initramfs-3.10.0-1160.11.1.el7.x86_64.img 3.10.0-1160.11.1.el7.x86_64

- Now the system find the kernel but still not booting, same with the other 2 kernels available.

- The only way to boot the server is booting in "default mode"

 

 

Environment

Cause
