I recently cloned a 40G Seagate HD to a 80G WD, then replaced the

any Seagate partitions when mkinitrd runs. Where could the bogus
Perl-Bootloader by-id WARNING data be coming from? Does the newest
mkinitrd need a perl that hasn't been pushed yet?

Are you using by-id in your /etc/fstab or in /boot/grub/device.map? If
so, then that's your problem. Swapping out disks that use by-id doesn't
work without cleaning up afterwards because by-id is keyed off the
serial number of the disk.

It was device.map, but it wasn't me - YaST did it. ;-)

I only use LABEL in fstab, but forgot about device.map.
