I installed a new SATA drive in my linux box that had previously (except

After I finished installing, I rebooted and it tried to boot F11 again. I
rebooted, went into BIOS and changed the order of the drives to put the
SATA drive in as the primary drive, and let it boot. It just hung. So
obviously something isn't right.
I went back into BIOS and changed the order of the drives back and now I'm
back in F11. How do I get this fixed, w/o disconnecting the PATA drives? Do
I need to change the order of the drives in BIOS and reinstall???
I've never tried to put a fresh drive in and boot off it, so I could use a
bit of help here. :-)
Thanks!
Dunno!
I put a spare pata drive in, installed Fedora 12 on it and now use the
bios to change boot order, no problems.
Check the /boot/grub/menu.lst in the Fedora 12 on the second drive and
see if it actually points to the new drive and not the Fedora 11 drive.
I haven't succeeded in getting Fedora 12 boot to boot Fedora 11 on a
Sata Drive... yet.
