I'm swapping my second hard drive for a larger one. This is the drive with my / partition on it. Well I've made the partitions on the other drive and copied my data. I made the partition active, though every time I return to fdisk in sysinstall, it doesn't show it as active anymore. Lastly, I fixed fstab. Remember that it's actually my second hard drive and Lilo is on the first, so no need to mess with that. So I put the drive where the other one was, but when I booted, it said invalid partition. It prompts me for the kernel, and I type in 1:ad(1,d)/kernel but it still says invalid kernel. The new / partition is ad2s1d when it's hooked up as the third drive. I've played with it for hours, and can't find a tutorial on doing this anywhere. Any help is apppreciated. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
