I just upgraded a socket 939 MB to an Athelon 5000 socket AM2 so I can use AMD-V, but, for some strange reason, the HD device IDs seem to have changed (same 250GB SATA HD - the original root partition is not found). The disk shows fine in Repair System Partition Manager, .. and the IDs look similar, but I cannot figure out a way to compare them to the entries in fstab.
I don't understand why not. Just display the old entries and the actual, current IDs, and compare them letter by letter. Write or print them in a paper, cross each letter... I don't see the problem.
When booting the Repair System, all partitions show mounted on / and cannot be unmounted; When dropping to shell after RS, the partitions are still mounted; While IN RS, there is no way to launch a terminal session to edit the entries in fstab.
I am hesitant to try any of the automatied repair options, .. can anyone suggest a way to both edit the original /etc/fstab entries while seeing the 'new' device IDs in the Partition Manager? Has anyone seen a problem like this?
Just edit fstab in an editor, and display the IDs by any method you choose. For example: ls /dev/disk/by-id/ or ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/ You can just as easily copy paste the names to the editor... - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
