You need to rebuild you initrd image.. See the mkinitrd man page..
I kind of thought it would be something like that, but given that I
could not boot up, I was not sure what to do.
Last night I punted and did a clean, full, install on the new drive. Did
the yum update, copied my data directory and I a now up with basic
functions.
I have also documented some of my starting setups, and am now ready to
reboot and see if I got everything in for madwifi and sun's java jdk....
Lessons learned and all that stuff. One major thing is that an OS
migration is NOT so cut and dry...
