Disk Shifted To New IDE Controller
Hi, I have just plugged my Linux boot disk into a different controller (on board raid) but it doesn't boot ... I figure this is just a matter of editing some files ... but which ones? James James C.

James ==================
My first guess would be fstab and lilo? But then I am still a novice at this linux stuff, so someone more Linux savy may want to add their comments? Patrick -- --- KMail v1.4.3 --- SuSE Linux Pro v8.0 --- Registered Linux User #225206

Patrick YOu are 100% right! Just change the lilo.conf and fstab to the new drive designations and rerun

Not so simple. You have to edit /etc/lilo.conf and /etc/fstab. But you have got to run lilo as well on the new root disk and that is more difficult: it does not boot, so it is not the actual root. For that, try to boot installed system from the rescue CD. Otherwise, boot from any other linux (CD), mount somewhere, chroot, edit and run lilo. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson El 02.09.29 a las 22:07, James.Rocks@equant.com escribió:
