It is there, in the obvious place. Did you search?
Ah. All upper case.
Lets see, I have from fdisk: reordered to make sense
Don't reorder
Re-ordering sorts it by partition order rather than /dev/name Since grub, sorry, GRUB, works that way I thought it would make some views easier.
The sda4 is the "newboot" that I made by shrinking sda2 and where I want to move to
My /etc/fstab tells me
/dev/sda6 /boot ext3 /dev/sda7 / ext3 /dev/sda8 swap swap
So the /boot is the FIRST partition in the extended partition.
No, it is partition number 6, ie, the SECOND logical partition (#5 is the first)
Go back and count. There are partitons 1 /dev/sda1 1 1275 10241406 7 HPFS/NTFS 2 /dev/sda2 1276 2530 10080787+ 7 HPFS/NTFS that I shrank in order to create 3 /dev/sda4 2531 2550 160650 83 Linux 4 /dev/sda3 * 2551 9729 57665317+ f W95 Ext'd and in the extended partition the first partition is 5 /dev/sda6 2551 2557 56164+ 83 Linux (/boot) That's why I reordered them. See how the cylinder numbers are in a strictly monotonic sequence, which they ar not when fdisk lists them, sicne it sorts by sda# And sda5 is the last logical partition /dev/sda5 2846 9729 55295698+ 8e Linux LVM
And in /boot/grub/menu.lst I have
title openSUSE 11.2 - 2.6.31.12-0.1 (pae) root (hd0,5)
(hd0,5) is /dev/sda6. Correct.
Now since grub, sorry, GRUB, counts from zero, why is this "5" and not "4"?
However all this just goes to further demonstrate my confusion.
Indeed :-)
