thanks for reply !
So this sounds like (all of):
1) you've got another /boot on some other partition, from some other
do you mean /boot *partition* or boot *dir(s)* on partition(s) ?
the later is the case and i've got absolutely no single boot-partition
called /boot.
install
2) you're booting it (or grub installed to the MBR) instead of sda3
this was a yum update and a reboot.
i hadn't any trouble with the update to kernel 74.
MBR ?
i got 3 disks in my box, 2 sata's (one is data only disk: sdb) and 1 pata.
my disk layout:
disk layout seen from F7:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 974 7823623+ 83 Linux =>F7
/dev/sda2 975 1948 7823655 83 Linux

/dev/sdc3 * 2054 3359 10490445 83 Linux => F8
hhhmmm
sdb1 is still bootable (my old 1st disk), but it shouldn't do anything,
else i had written such mails after the update to kernel 74.
will try to boot sdb, in a view moments...
checked: not bootable.
now i'm complete unsure what will happen with the data on a partition,
when i install a boot record to it.
irc, data are damaged then (?)
if so: if had overwritten sda3 => LVM damaged. sdb has no 3rd partition.
3) /boot/grub/device.map is wrong
it initially came from an T1 install. not changed by me.
but shit !
after no reply to my mail i have moved that f8 partition to /dev/null,
so i can't copy/paste it here now.
but i looked at it after that trouble, irc it was differnt to F7's.
the order of the drives was
- pata first and sata last.
this is like teh controller order seen with lspci, but it ignores my
bios layout.
i choosed sata's first.
- will try to reproduce this: T1 install + update to kernel 74-
but anyway something is wrong:
1)
both F7 and F8 say they are on sda
under F7 it's a Sata drive (bios layout)
under F8 it's a Pata drive (lspci view)
2)
after chain-load-booting to kernel 74,
- i yum-removed 73.
- the grub entry was gone and there were nothing related to 73 under /boot.
on next reboot i was faced with both again (73+74) and but no
2.6.23-0.115.rc3.git1.fc8
3)
a grub-install /dev/sda3 failed
that's really crazy !
now i first have to read how to find and to identify entries (that 73)
on partition over all 3 disks...
someone with a helpful idea ?
