Thanks Ed for your response. The root partition on sdb1 has a label as "/" in the grub.conf. Attached is a brief summary on the system, three disks, sda, sdb and sdc. I have also included the grub.conf file before any change.

Do you have labels on your boot volumes? grub should point to the label. e.g. title Tao Linux (2.6.9-34.0.1.EL) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-34.0.1.EL ro root=LABEL=/1 norhgb quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.9-34.0.1.EL.img So make sure you've got both the correct root and LABEL options correctly specified. .../Ed -- Ed Wilts, RHCE Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:ewilts@xxxxxxxxxx Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
