Description

All machines in srv2 where powered down due to the AC outage in the extension of the server-room.
Now the machine cannot boot any longer since it cannot find its / :

[   23.711676] List of all partitions:
[   23.711679] No filesystem could mount root, tried: 
[   23.711683] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
[   23.711688] CPU: 32 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 4.4.120-45-default #1

IPMI of this machine is unfortunately no longer reachable:

f194 ~ » dig loewe-sp.arch.suse.de +short          
10.161.15.192
f194 ~ » ping 10.161.15.192

Therefore I've to relay on cscreen to fix this machine. A first try with rd.shell rd.break=pre-mount was unfortunately just ignored.

I was able to boot into a TW live rescue enviroment and discovered that the cmdline contained root=/dev/sda2. I've replaced it by root=UUID=e270dc2c-1c4a-4239-b3a5-2917b685277b.
However, after the reboot my cscreen was broken (unrelated):

ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

I was able to fix it by regenerating the initramfs from a TW rescue system. Afterwards it accessed the disc by UUID. The non-persistent br0-config was also fixed at this occasion.
