As mentioned to Mikkel, /etc/grub.conf is a link to /boot/grub/grub.conf,
but there is no grub directory in /boot.
I cannot remember if there was one after installation, but I got the feeling
that a couple of things changed after I moved the HDD to the second machine
and selected 'Install/Upgrade'. I got the following message -
Warning: The partition table on device sda (ATA ST38410A 8213 MB) was
unreadable. To create new partitions it must be initialized, causing the
loss of ALL DATA on this drive. This operation will override any previous
installation choices about which drives to ignore.
I did not proceed past this point, but afterwards I noticed that the
contents of /etc/fstab had changed.
Before, it looked like this -
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1
UUID=b6c62c5a-0afb-4258-a726-6a377a6f3b9e /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0
Afterwards, it changed to this -
UUID=6e47e294-fc8d-4457-b1e9-03f68a57d0aa / ext3 defaults 1 1
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
UUID=519e0658-aa0a-49a2-9b39-d80e92b0c838 swap swap defaults 0 0
I don't know if any of this is significant.
Thanks
Frank
