Can't figure out what the trouble is, filesystems mismatch, like you can't use a jfs HD backed up from an ext3 HD? grub is the same on both HD's, so is mkinitrd, gcc, etc., etc., everything got rsync'd across.
I think that this is reason. If initrd not contain jfs driver module, it can not to boot. Your should boot jfs system using rescue and execute mkinitrd. Other ways its not so easy.
Any ideas? Regards Sid.
Issue is not so easy, because it seems that originally in openSuse 10.3 is not support for jfs. Perhaps it is easier boot without initrd if jfs support is compiled into kernel.
Thanks, that's worth a try. Regards Sid.
I booted from DVD and chrooted /dev/sdb1. Rebuilt the kernel with jfs built-in. With the "initrd" line commented out --- VFS: Cannot open root device "disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_MAXTOR_STM35006_6QG0YKMR-part1 or unknown-block(0,0) Please append a correct "root=" boot option, here are the available partitions: Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs or unknown-block(0,0). When I executed the "mkinitrd", I got a message for each kernel in menu.lst: WARNING: GRUB:: GrubPath2UnixPath: Path /boot/2.6.24-rc3-git5-smp in UNIX form, not modifying it. I also tried using /dev/sdb1 in /etc/fstab and in menu.lst with the same result. fsck.jfs says the partition is clean. just noticed something and wonder if that could be it, but neither is ext3 there. I have put a line "jfs" in /etc/filesystems for a try perhaps later. # cat /etc/filesystems vfat hfs minix reiserfs * Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
