Change partition list, cant boot, emergency
Hello guys
This is the parition table as best as i could remember hda1 = /boot (1 - 13) hda3 = swap (2368 - to end) hda4 = extended (hda5,6) ( 12 - 2367) hda5 = old redhat aprt (893 - 2367) hda6 = slackware parition that i use now (14 - 892) since i dont use redhat i decided to do this. I removed hda4, which removes 5 and 6 then add hda2 to be the slackware and redhat parition togather(hda5-hda6) I edit grub to boot from /dev/hda2 Ofcourse I get a whole lotta errors ending in a kernal panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs How can I fix it? Should i redo the partition table as it was, format dev/hda5, then readd them? (EDIT) I restored it as it was, now can somone tell me what i should do to make slackwar my only partition? |
Change your profile to show slackware :p
Since you re-arranged the partitions, grub is confused and just needs to be re-installed so that it's probe finds and knows all the current partitions. Make sure /boot/grub/grub.conf (or menu.lst) is correct, then re-install grub. Installing a bootloader Multiboot with GRUB Mini-HOWTO Linux+Win9x+Grub HOWTO |
I know how to config grub
What i dont know it how to combine my old parition to my new one and having my pc work fine |
# How are the hard drives partitioned
fdisk -l That would depend on the filesystems you use. GNU ext2resize Why not just format the Red Hat partitions and mount them where you want them, maybe make one a /home partition? Proper Filesystem Layout |
