I'm trying to move my HD where LM8 is installed from /dev/hdb to
/dev/hdc and my CD-ROM from /dev/hdb to /dev/hdd without succes, until
now...
I only managed to move my CD-ROM from /dev/hdb to /dev/hdd, doing this:
I removed the CD-ROM from master at IDE interface 2 (IDE1) and installed
it as slave ate IDE1 and started the LM8 install CD, chose Upgrade,
added some small package (just to be sure that some change had to be
written) and proceded the install until the end.
When I restarted the computer Linux recognized that the CD-ROM was the
/dev/hdd device (in windows it works ok too).
I thought that since /dev/hdc was free now, I could use the same
approach to move my HD from /dev/hdb (slave at IDE0) to /dev/hdc (master
at IDE1).
When I start the install, chose Upgrade, language, keyboard, mouse ok,
but when the system starts to look for my drives there is an error
message ("Ooops, no root partition") and ir repeats itself if I try to
look for my drives again.
If I start a NEW INSTALL, the drive is found and the partitions are
found (/, SWAP and /home) and recognized as using ReiserFS.
So that's my doubt: how the LM8 install detects the root partition? If
it is found when the HD is in it's current location (/dev/hdb) why it's
isn't found when I move the drive to the new position (/dev/hdc)???
It's driving me nuts!
