Listmates,
I have an 11.0 server with RAID1 that I added a spare 500G drive to in order to load 11.1 on the new drive. The 11.1 install created a new /boot/grub/menu.lst and attempted to add an entry to boot the 11.0 install. Now grub boots the 11.1 install (on sdc1) and then if selected will boot 11.0 on dm-2 (sda5 + sdb5). I now want to remove sdc from the system leaving the original 11.0 install. How do I tell grub to boot the 11.0 install first instead of booting from sdc so that when I remove the drive I'm not left unable to boot?
Even if I wasn't removing sdc, I would still like to know how to make grub boot from my original /boot instead of the last installed /boot. Can somebody point me in the right direction to get this fixed? Thanks.
As it appears that you're going to be removing sdc, have you tried booting the system after doing just that? If 11.1 has created a new /boot/* and written grub to sdc, the original 11.0 grub should still be exactly as it was before you installed 11.1, and so should boot the system into 11.0.
