In the past I was able to install a new version of SuSE in hda and then copy it to hdb, modify lilo.conf and fstab and rerun lilo. I'm trying to do the same thing but I'm using grub (default boot loader). I have no problem copying the filesystem from hda to hdb. The problem comes in modifying the grub files correctly. I know that /boot/grub/menu.lst contains information required by grub and /etc/grub.conf is somehow used. ==== lines in menu.lst I have questions on ====================== color white/blue black/light-gray default 0 gfxmenu (hd0,2)/message timeout 15 <<<------ old entry ------->>>> title SuSE 8.2 kernel (hd0,2)/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda4 vga=0x31a hde=ide-scsi hdelun=0 splash=silent showopts initrd (hd0,2)/initrd <<<----- new entry ------------>>>> title SuSE NEW kernel (hd1,0)/vmlinuz root=/dev/hdb9 vga=0x31a hde=ide-scsi hdelun=0 splash=silent showopts initrd (hd1,0)/initrd ================================================================== I want to have /boot as /dev/hdb1 and / as /dev/hdb9 ===== lines from /etc/grub.conf ================================== root (hd0,2) install --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 /grub/stage1 d (hd0,2) /grub/stage2 0x8000 (hd0,2)/grub/menu.lst <<<- this line wrapped quit =================================================================== I assume all I have to do is change (hd0,2) to hd(1,0) in the above file. Can anyone please get me started on the migration from hda to hdb.
