Did you run mkinitrd and change the kernel modules?

As of old rdev used to be able to change the root and swap devices to whatever you wanted for a kernel. It now tells me that /dev/sda1 doesn't exist. The pata_nv and libata modules are loaded. Problem in initrd or grub????

Not long after I posted I had a look at my INITRD script and saw "-d /dev/hda1" in it, changed it to /dev/sda1, reboot to be done later this evening perhaps.

Unless you have a separate /boot partition in which case the *upgrade* will leave you with a system that will not boot. I have reported this in bugzilla. This happened with the 10.3A2 and 10.3A3 upgrades.

Been there, done that, rules.d/60-persistent-storage.rules and 85-mount-fstab.rules, look the same on the new build x86_64 boxes and 10.2 --> 10.3 Alpha3 upgrade x86_64 laptop and on this x86 box. If I use mkinitrd to change rootdev to /dev/sda1, resume to /dev/sda2 and also fstab, sda1 is seen, but only if I leave menu.list pointing to /dev/hda1 as root, sda2 as swap isn't registered. "swapon /dev/hda2" works. When Alpha4 upgrade hits the streets, I'll see what that does. Regards Sid.

I don't know I did anything other than upgrading latest greatest from factory. Modules still the same and it's OK. New kernel 2.6.21-git17 vanilla.

Hi Sid,

what tells your /boot/grub/device.map That is the where grub looks for translation (hd0) /dev/sda etc.

# o /boot/grub/device.map (hd1) /dev/hdb (fd0) /dev/fd0 (hd2) /dev/sdb (hd0) /dev/hda I presume I need to change hdb to sdb, hda to sda and sdb to sdc.

That was the only missing piece.

I got similar problem when I moved 10.3 installation from reiserfs to ext3 partition, changing only /boot/grub/menu.lst and /etc/fstab, but 10.3 didn't want to boot complaining that it can't find /dev/hda6.

Next was /boot/grub/device.map, but now it complained that it can't mount /dev/sda6. Few hours later I learned a lot more about initrd, but problem was solved. It was missing driver for ext3.

I did such moves few times before, but at the time I got only reiserfs in use and device was always /dev/hda or /dev/hdb, it was necessary to change only fstab and menu.lst, but this time it was different :-)

I had forgotten all about device.map, though I'd done "grep hda /boot/grub/*", but missed device.map, consequence of trying to fix stuff when tired. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
