Re: booting fedora 11 from a fedora 10 grub?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



but why isn't idenitfied by /dev/sda2 like partitions normally are? I'm not understanding why a UUID is necessary, as opposed to a standard /dev/sd pointer to the root partition.

Basically how can I get this to work?

So is there some sort of conversion in the initrd converting from the UUId to something conventional like /dev/sdb2, and if so why doesn't just substituting /dev/sdb2 not work.

Because, as Tony stated, the root partition is identified by its UUID.

Because the GRUB stanza you copied to boot F11 says:

   root=UUID=7ba6f364-68c2-4dad-a54e-18c3464b0eb5

That is, it says root is identified by its UUID.
