Description of problem: Doing a system upgrade, Putting a new disk in machine 1 for a sugnificant increase in storage. moving a old disk to another machine 2 to to give storage update, leaving content unmodified (including bootable status and grub) On machine 2 grub installed onto hda which is master drive on IDE0, the moved disk is slave drive on IDE0 so should be hdb, however, its contents are unmodified. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): grub fc5 How reproducible: unknown Steps to Reproduce: 1. installed drive from machine 2 as slave on IDE0 2. boot system Actual results: system boots from moved drive not the original one Expected results: system should have booted from original drive as listin in grub.conf Additional info: Problem resolved after much content shuffling, booting with knoppix disk to copy contents and a reformat of the second drive and reinstall of grub and assertion of volume labels # cat device.map # this device map was generated by anaconda (hd0) /dev/hda # cat grub.conf # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg. # root (hd0,0) # kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda2 # initrd /initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/hda default=0 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title Fedora Core (2.6.20-1.2316.fc5smp) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.20-1.2316.fc5smp ro root=LABEL=/ initrd /initrd-2.6.20-1.2316.fc5smp.img title Fedora Core (2.6.20-1.2312.fc5smp) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.20-1.2312.fc5smp ro root=LABEL=/ initrd /initrd-2.6.20-1.2312.fc5smp.img More testing not possible.
