From: Edward Diener eldiener@tropicsoft.com Subject: [CentOS] Manually mounting partitions in "linux rescue" mode To: centos@centos.org Date: Monday, August 2, 2010, 9:07 PM I boot from the installation DVD, with an already existing CentOS 5.5 system on my hard disks. I have separate boot, root, and home partitions. I have moved the boot partition and now I need to re-initialize grub from rescue mode.
Attempting to use 'rescue mode" to automatically mount my system under /mnt/sysimage eventally fails with an error message, which essentially says 'mount error' and nothing else. I am then put at a command prompt as root.
So now I decide to manually mount my partitions at /mnt/sysimage and then do a chroot to /mnt/sysimage. This succeeds and when I look at my files they are there.
I now try 'grub' and the 'grub' shell comes up. I now attempt the 'grub' command:
root (hd0,9)
try /dev/sdb8 -> (hd1,7)
