I installed a new ide disk. I used system-config-lvm to create a new lvm.
Then mounted it, did cp -ax / /mnt/7200rpm. I can mount the drive fine,
but I can't seem to switch root.
I edited /etc/fstab on the new drive to say:
/dev/7200rpm/LogVol02 / ext3 defaults 1 1
I added this to grub:
title Fedora Core (2.6.15-1.1948_FC5)
root (hd0,2)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.15-1.1948_FC5 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.15-1.1948_FC5.img <<new entry
title Fedora Core (2.6.15-1.1948_FC5)#2
root (hd0,2)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.15-1.1948_FC5 ro root=/dev/7200rpm/LogVol02 rhgb
quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.15-1.1948_FC5.img
Just for test I did NOT change /boot, it still is the /dev/hda3 (hd0,2)
I even reran grub-install --rescan /dev/hda
When I try to boot entry#2, I see:
Creating root device
Mounting root filesystem
mount: could not find filesystem /dev/root
panic
I also notice that when booting the old root (entry#1), when doing lvm scan
it detects both VolGroup00 and 7200rpm, but only says 2 groups now active
on VolGroup00, nothing about 7200rpm.
