I have two sata drives, sda and sdb with the root partition on sdb. I installed grub on sdb and made the following entries in /boot/grub/menu.lst:
kopt=root=/dev/sdb1 groot=(sdb,0) and ran update-grub. Next I tried to boot the system and got the splash screen with my kernels listed but then a message: root (sdb,0) Error 23: Error while parsing number I have tried using grub's line completion to find a correct entry for groot. If I enter: grub> groot=(sd followed by a tab I get: groot=(sdiff) If I try groot=(hd followed by a tab I get nothing. Surely there must be many users booting from sata drives so there must be a simple solution to my problem but a google search finds numerous instructions for booting with grub but all the examples appear to be for ide hard drives - that is groot=(hd0,0).
