Description Need Real Name 2002-08-20 19:13:01 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.79 [en]C-CCK-MCD   (Windows NT 5.0; U)

Description of problem:
When using 'linux rescue', system will search for all linux partitions. It then prompts the user for the root system that should be 
mounted in /mnt/sysimage.

Whatever the choice, the first one is always mounted in /mnt/sysimage

I have two disks, one with root at /dev/hda7, another one (the one I tried to fix) in /dev/hdb2. System detects the two, asks me 
which one I want to use, I select hdb2, and find out that /dev/hda7 is mounted in /mnt/sysimage. Tried several times, always got the 
same result. I can mount hdb2 in any other mount point though

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have several root partitions on different disks
2. Linux rescue disk
3. Select anything but the first 'root'

	

Actual Results:  The first root is always mounted, whatever the choice in #3

Expected Results:  The selected partition should be mounted in /mnt/sysimage
