I finally decided to upgrade my hd and am having a problem.
After I 'clone' the drive as is the new drive is waiting for a drive label that does not exist as the new drive is different mfg/size. How do I change the system to be able to do this.
My system only has 2 sata cables one for the dvd and one for the hd. I am using a usb device made by Appricorn to clone the drive and it's all there and does go thru the bootup but fails finding the drive id.
This sounds like a problem that might be solved by using partition labels in menu.lst and fstab. If you haven't set any yet, go ahead and set one on your /, such as 'tune2fs -L 05root /dev/sda5' if using ext3 and / is on partition 5 on the first SATA disk. Then use root=LABEL=05root instead of whatever's there now on the grub cmdline in menu.lst, and LABEL=05root in fstab. -- "Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry." Ephesians 4:26 NIV
