Hi,

Lisa,
It's definitely possible that the you just need to update your grub.conf
file and point it to /, as the new box (depending upon it's
configuration) maybe identifying the hard drive differently than the old
box...you can fix this by booting the new box from an install disk into
rescue mode...

I'm not sure what you mean by pointing grub.conf to /. Currently grub.conf looks like this:

# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# root (hd0,0)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda3
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.7-10)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.7-10 ro root=/dev/hda3
initrd /initrd-2.4.7-10.img

What exactly in this file should I change?

Lisa
