I have an 8.4 GB hard drive that I had RH 6.1 installed on an older
computer. I was planning to stick it into a newer pc to dual boot with
WIN98.  I have the hd installed and my bios recognizes both hds.

My challenge is that I go into the install program to UPDATE the the system.
I WANT TO KEEP /home the same and not format this partition.  But the since
the new hd is hdb the installer program is not recognizing the existing
partitions and crashes....

I have tried this at the boot promt for the installer
root=/dev/hdb10 text
I get an error for all hdbs saying that it does not recognize it as root...I
have tried for all partitions to make sure that I am not right and installer
does not recognize ANY partition as root.

What can I do?

Thanks
