mount problem after enabling serial console

[Ji]

Thank you for your reply, Mel.

There must be something wrong. What confused me is why the booting
problem does not  appear every time I reboot the computer and the
serial console does work fine if it can boot.
And I will really appreciate if you can specify my problem. Thanks a lot.
