Grub refers to drives with device numbers not labels. So if in the new machine the device number doesn't point to one of the two mirrored drives, then the boot would fail. If you can get into grub you should be able to tell it the correct device numbers to get the system to boot. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
