The latest thing I got is that the grub.conf was relating to UUID so I changed that to /dev/sda2. Then it started to boot, but then lots relating to this UUID same and it stopped booting. I'm gonna keep fiddling with this tomorrow and also try to remove the UUID use. The weird part is that 'df-h' sh...

It's supposed to be:

Code: Select all

root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)


The grub installation seemed OK, but at boot time I got this:

Code: Select all

no root device found
mapscrn: cannot found map file _iso15_

I tried another approach now. root (hd0,1) setup (hd0) First goes OK saying something about the file format being ext2 but the 'setup' stops after checking for '/boot/grub/stage1' and '/grub/stage1' and reporting as not found. The files are there in 'boot/grub/' (under: /mnt/sysimage) But I also see...

If I with rescue mode and chroot into /mnt/sysimage I get error: bash-4.0# grub-install /dev/sda Could not find device for and yes, the text is cut off I also tried this(with some help from others): mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/1 mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/1/boot mount --bind /dev /mnt/1/dev mount --bind /proc /m...

I've been fiddling with this for some days now and still can't get it to work. :( and as latest I've done this:... I added the "new" HDD... rsync'd files from all partitions from the old HDD to the new like this: (sda is the old HDD, sdb is the new HDD) [root@unknown 2]# df -h Filesystem S...

MAN!!!! I sure am stupid today.
Why didn't I think of that. That would get the grub to be installed again.
DOH!!

thx man

I mounted the DVD (with some problem due to bad memory) I chrooted my old system, but when "inside" that I can't "see" the DVD If I mount the DVD using the old disk then I see the DVD files, but I need to do that when chrooted to the new disk, right? but when I'm chrooted to the ...

DOH!!
am I stupid or what lol
well now since I don't have grub installed anymore, can I install that on the new disk with my repo or the CD?
and THEN use grub-install

Don't seem to be able to install grub again. First it said that it's already installed, so I 'rpm -e' it. Next it won't be installed cos it's trying to get the files through internet, but I got my own repo on the server just for this cos. A pal long time ago showed me how to set it up thus all files...

Since I use the same machine as my gateway I can't just shut it down so I'll have to do it online, I'll try the -x thingy :) thx /sys & /proc I figured was system files but I had to ask just to be sure. so these files don't exist when in rescue mode? if so THAT I didn't know, I just figured they...

well if I used 'v' do they sum up the possible errors/warnings at the end? because it's lots of files and I can't see that long back in the SSH session, just 9999 lines UPDATE: rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1042) [sender=3.0.7] I'm gonna...

Using rsync for the /boot I get this: skipping non-regular file "grub/menu.lst" skipping non-regular file "grub/menu.lst.rpmsave" seems they are symlinks but these should be copied too, right? Can't seem to find the proper switch for it to be copied though :( UPDATE: Just found i...

It's a SATA yes. Usually does that with drives in winblows and that seems to work so I figured... ah well, I'll try more later.

Another question doing this... Isn't there a way to like "refresh" the udev lists of devices?
I added the disk but I had to reboot to get it up in the /dev list.
Been googling this too and they all say:

Code: Select all

udevadm trigger

but that won't work.

ok, as I assumed then
thx
