Hi, due to a hardware failure of my primary ide controller, i had to plug my two hds into the secondary ide controller. I managed to tell grub where to find the kernel and the initrd image and edited /etc/fstab and /etc/mtab to match the new environment (hda became hdc and hdb became hdd). Now when it comes to re-mounting the root filesystem in read-write mode during the boot process, it drops me to a console to fix the filesystem. Unfortunately, I dont have any idea, which other setting (apart from fstab and the grub.conf) has to be changed. A search through the archive did not help. Can anyone give me a hint ? Thnx in advance. Cheers, bit
