So i've got Fedora 5 and RHEL3 on separate disk drives. Grub is configured on the fedora disk. That's what everything is booting from. If i've got the fedora drive removed from the machine Redhat boots up just fine in SMP or non-smp. With the fedora grub I can ONLY boot to the non-smp redhat. I get these errors when i try to boot the smp redhat
VFS: Cannot open root device "LABEL=/" or 00:00
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 00:00
what gives? anyone have a clue? I have taken exact copy/pastes from the grub that's on the redhat disk.... The non-smp is fine, but the SMP is just a no go. The entries are exactly the same except for the kernel it points to of course.
First of all the bumpbump is a no-no, you agreed to that when signing up.
Secondly, with the information you provide there's not much one can say,
just post the relevant sections of menu.lst, fstab of both installs and
maybe the output of fdisk -l
