Unfortunately, in this case, it won't renumber the disks, and the system won't boot up. > md0 is /boot and everything else is on md1 (LVM).

This is exactly what you're tell grub when you change the device mapping. -- Alexandre Oliva http://www.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/ Red Hat Compiler Engineer aoliva@{redhat.com, gcc.gnu.org} Free Software Evangelist oliva@{lsd.ic.unicamp.br, gnu.org}
