Is there a reason why yo keep having grub on #2? If not, I'd just run grub, |
| 16 |
enter |
| 17 |
root (hd0,0) |
| 18 |
setup (hd0) |
| 19 |
quit |
| 20 |
, copy /boot/grub/grub.conf over and all should be fine. |

If you prefer to leavy it as it is: instead of using the partiton itself |
| 23 |
(like /dev/sda5) in grub.conf and fstab, you could try the /dev/disk-by- |
| 24 |
label/<label of your root partition> notation. You can use dumpe2fs -h |
| 25 |
/dev/sda5 to see the label as Filesystem volume name, and tune2fs -L to |
| 26 |
change it. Then it would not matter on which drive the partiton actually is. |
