I am trying to convert from lilo where boot=/dev/sdb0 and root=/dev/sdb1 in lilo.conf
I have tried kopt=root=/dev/sdb1 ro and groot=(sdb,0) in grub's menu.lst (also kopt=root=/dev/sdb0 ro since I understand grub counts from 0). The MBR is unchanged and the system still boots with lilo. A problem could be that the bios setup detects the hard drive which lilo believes is sdb as Sata 3 (Sata 1 is another hard drive and Sata 2 is an optical drive). I thought maybe grub would think lilo's sdb is sdc but this didn't work either. A google entry indicated there is a command line continuation feature which should show the available drives which grub sees. I haven't been able to make this work. The google entries I've found have no examples for designating Sata drives. What have I missed? Tom -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
