It shouldn't freeze because the swap partition is not there. You didn't mention which release of RH. But your problem is likely the partition label issue. Instead of using hard coded partition ids, RH gives the partitions a label (the mount point, typically). Look at /etc/fstab and note the first column. If you see LABEL=, then you have to ensure that your new drive has the same labels as the old drive's equivalent partition. You can use tune2fs -l to view each partition's current label and tune2fs -L label to set them. Barry -- Please avoid sending me Word, PowerPoint or Excel attachments.
