This is a labelling thing. The default file system to mount is the one labelled "ROOT". You had two and so it guessed wrongly when it was trying to track which one to use. Really the installer ought to generate ROOT_[something] to avoid this Fine. This is what I thought. Should play in the lottery: It has *always* been the other harddisk - no kidding ! - If it had been 50 / 50, I'd consider it fun. But it is 0 / 100. Had been a very bad idea overall to replace /dev/partition with labels !! A suggestion: make kernel use the one harddisk from which it /boot-ed as default; not the other one. |
