Tom, it's really hard to say. You really need to make sure your entries in fstab,mtab and /boot/grub/menu.lst agree. If you post the contents of those three files, we might be able to give an accurrate or better answer. Those (hdx,y) numbers are affected by where drives are installed and how the system sees them. Correct me if I'm wrong on that point folks. For example, an IDE drive on IDE channel 1 port 0 will have a different (hdx,y) value than if that drive was on IDE channel 1 port 1 or channel 2 port 0.
Here's the information from my new drive (which I dd'd from my old drive) on my raid card. I only changed info on FSTAB FSTAB /dev/sda2 / reiserfs defaults 1 1 (this used to be hdc2 - I can manually mount this drive now....and it is connected to my raid card) /dev/sda1 swap swap pri=42 0 0 (this used to be hdc1) devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs noauto 0 0 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,user,sync 0 0 GRUB.CONF root (hd0,1) install --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 /boot/grub/stage1 d (hd0) /boot/grub/stage2 0x8000 (hd0,1)/boot/grub/menu.lst quit MTAB /dev/hdc2 / reiserfs rw 0 0 proc /proc proc rw 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,mode=0620,gid=5 0 0 shmfs /dev/shm shm rw 0 0 usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs rw 0 0 /BOOT/GRUB/MENU.LST # Modified by YaST2.
