Hello and thank you for your replies. My situation is the following: On original system with eight SCSI hard drives on two channels, this hard drive had SCSI ID 3 on the second channel, and it was recognized as /dev/sdg. On a new system it's gonna be connected on the first SCSI channel with SCSI ID 0 as /dev/sda.
What should be changed in installed Linux system on this hard drive to accomodate this reconnection?
In /etc/fstab change all refs to /dev/sdgX to /dev/sdaX (and comment out lines for now non-existant drives) In /boot/grub/menu.1st you will find entries like (hd0,1) - the first number is the drive, counted from zero, and the second is the partition, again from zero. I expect yours would be (hd6,X) so you need to change them to (hd0,X). Look at 'info grub' for more details on its drive naming conventions.
