If you want Grub on the _MBR_ to point to the cloned partition and read its Grub files (including the grub.conf) from /dev/hda6, you will have to run the grub command again with: root (hd0,5) and setup (hd0).
If you have'nt done that, then you are still booting the original Grub stage1 on the MBR which finds its files on /dev/hda5, where i presume the original grub.conf file has the kernel parameter: root=/dev/hda5 Once you reinstall Grub to the MBR, pointing to the cloned root (hd0,5) and edit the grub.conf on hda6 with the kernel parameter: root=/dev/hda6 you will have what you want. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
