Suse Enterprise Server 9

[lbarron]

Hi,

We have an installation of Suse Linux Enterprise v9 which had a failed hard drive. The drive was succesfully recovered to another disk but now the system fails to boot as it seems to want to find the disk by it's name which is now different.

I have edited the fstab file but we still get the error.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Lee

check your grub configuration files
if it is trying to load its initramdisk using uuid rather than /dev/sd?? it will fail

you may also need to recreate the initramdisk in the /boot partition for this to work properly

boot from a live cd

mount the / and /boot partitions from the existing drives somewhere sensible then chroot before running mkinitrd

There is also a recover option which may help when booting from the LiveCD.
