It may well depend on your chipset configuration, number of actually connected |
| 6 |
drives and bios boot settings. On my board, there are 2 PATA and 1 SATA |
| 7 |
channels on the same controller. In linux kernel, PATA is hda and hdb, SATA |
| 8 |
is hdc, no matter what drives are actually connected. When i migrated my |
| 9 |
installation from PATA hda to SATA hdc, grub detected hda as hd0 and hdc as |
| 10 |
hd1 before, but once I removed parallel drive, SATA become hd0 in grub (but |
| 11 |
still hdc in linux), since it is first (boot) bios drive. So I needed to fix |
| 12 |
grub config to hd0 and change a root= kernel parameter to hdc, since grub |
| 13 |
insists hd0 should be hda even if there is no drive connected on PATA: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
root (hd0,0) |
| 16 |
kernel /boot/bzImage-2.6.10 root=/dev/hdc1 |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Also, I did grub setup on SATA MBS from booted grub shell, not in linux, |
| 19 |
because what it sees is what it gets then. |

Hope this may help you. |
