My SuSE 10 is installed on hda (IDE1). I would like to move it to IDE0 (hda). If I move it SuSE fails to boot up, I guess lilo or grub cannot find the root drive expected to be at hdc2. How will I fix this?
I needed to do the same thing not so long ago, yet I do not remember all the details. You probably ought to do three things:
1) Edit /etc/fstab for the changed disk devices, 2) Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst similarly. 3) Install grub on your disk, so it will boot.
The last step is more touchy, unless you can get YaST2 to do it for you. The `grub' command starts an interactive shell, and you'll probably have to use commands `root' and `install'. The Info manual for `grub' has the required information and examples you may adapt to your need. Not being much familiar with `grub' myself, I had to browse the manual a few times before I can figure out what needs to be done.
Thanks everyone for your feedback. I am using lilo, so I think I need to update lilo.conf, run lilo-v, update /etc/fstab, and I am good to go. I will test it out, and post the results for future reference.
