You may be looking at a bit of a problem. You might be able to get grub loading successfully by messing with controller order in your machine's BIOS such that the 3ware cards are presented first. (Often called "Boot controller/device order" or similar, but this is machine dependent). If that doesn't work, you could probably get results by running "grub-install /dev/sda" (i.e. the newly installed disk) -- you'll have to change the grub info such that it then tries to load stage 2 etc from sdb (i.e. the existing disk). To clarify that paragraph: You're installing the initial boot loader on the new disk, as that's the one the BIOS expects to boot from, but you're telling the initial boot loader to use the files (kernel etc) from your existing disk. Once Grub's successfully loaded (and loaded the kernel), you'll quite possibly find that your kernel throws away the BIOS-provided order (which you've just specified) and re-discover the cards, and get you back to the following order: 1) U160 card -> New disk 2) 3ware card -> Existing disk 3) 3ware card -> Existing disk Your fstab will currently probably be referencing /dev/sda etc, and therefore mounting filesystems will fail. Here you'll be at the stage that Emilio was talking about. hth jack -- Jack Challen Technical Consultant, OCSL. http://www.ocsl.co.uk/ -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
