Grub uses the BIOS mapping, so the BIOS boot drive will be hd0 for Grub. As far as the drive mapping, the CD-ROM will not have show up as a SCSI hard drive. It will show up as a SCSI CD-ROM drive. (scd0)I am half way around the world from a not-for-profit organizations server which I help maintain. For too many reasons to list, we could not install from media and had to do an upgrade via yum. Everything is working fine, except, the system was using Lilo and now uses Grub. Additionally, the drive renaming of everything (ATA and SCSI) to sd$ leaves us without being able to reboot. The drive setup follows (FC2): /dev/hda3 / /dev/hda1 /boot /dev/hdc1 /extra /dev/sdb1 /AAA /dev/sda1 /BBB It appears that ATA is initialized before the SCSI on this system (2.6.12). Therefore, I think the mapping would be: hda - > sda hdb (cdrom?) - > sdb hdc -> sdc sda -> sdd sdb -> sde Is this accurate? Is there a way to use labels so I can be certain grub and fstab are correct? Thank you for any help. Trever Adams P.S. Am I even having to do this, does 2.6.23 (in F7) have this remapping requirement? It has been a while since I used it locally.
You can use partition labels in /etc/fstab, and in the kernel command lines in grub.conf, but Grub itself does not understand them.
