Problems on move of FC6 to other HD

fenritz · 04-08-2007, 08:12 AM

I have FC6 installed on 80GB IDE drive. As I upgraded my computer I need to move my existing installation to 250GB SATA drive.

I booted with Knoppix and made "cp -av /media/hda8/* /media/sda2".

Partition of old distro is 13GB with mounted /, and new one I partitioned this way:

500MB /boot /dev/sda1
60GB / /dev/sda2

After copy I moved /boot from sda2 to sda1 and reconfigured GRUB with FC6 rescue CD: grub-install --recheck /dev/sda1

GRUB returned no error, but my FC6 is failing to boot, saying:

Code:

Munting root filesystem.
mount: could not find filesystem '/dev/root'
Setting up other filesystems.
Setting up new root fs
setuproot: moving /dev failed: No such file or directory
no fstab.sys, mounting internal defaults
setuproot: error mounting /proc: No such file or directory
setuproot: error mounting /sys: No such file or directory
Switching to new root and running init.
Unmounting old /dev
Unmounting old /proc
Unmounting old /sys
switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

What I made wrong?
Any suggestions?

I would guess either you forgot to update 'grub.conf' or 'fstab' or both.
For example all 'hda' devices should now be 'sda' devices.

No, I haven't forgot it. I have updated both grub.conf and fstab.
What else can be reason for this king of error?
