Okay, now we're getting somewhere. First off, you did chroot, correct? Secondly, how was /dev/mapper/vg0-sysroot setup on the old system? Is the rescue mode creating a /dev/mapper/(whatever)? In a nutshell, GRUB must understand how to load the root at boot. It would really help if you'd post your old _and_ new /boot/grub/grub.conf and /boot/grub/device.map files as well as _detail_ your _exact_ disk arrangements. > Let me ask this: If you were going to upgrade drives from > one to another, would you do what I did or is there another > procedure that you would use? You used the correct procedure AFAICT, but you're having some boot-time issues in mapping the BIOS fixed disk to the Linux device. -- Bryan J.
