Hello. After installed additional 320GB harddisk to my desktop computer which used to have OpenSuSE 10.2 installed on single harddisk (80GB), naturally I prefer using the new and fast harddisk for '/' and use the old and slow harddisk for data only (e.g. /var) So, using fdisk I preserved space for '/' on the new harddisk, and use 'rsync -ravxD' to move all data from old '/' to the new partition on new harddisk. Next step is to make the new harddisk bootable, I did by running: # grub
root (hd1,1) setup (hd1) quit
Then I set hd1 to be the booting harddisk in my BOIS settings. Reboot. I didn't see the usual grub booting process, I see some random ascii code displayed on screen, ending with a smiling face, and stops there. I thought it should be simple: 1) copy everything to the new partition on new harddisk (I did with rsync) and 2) make it bootable. Did I miss anything? Thanks in advance! I am not good at these booting stuff and is learning. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
