When having multiple IDE and/or SCSI controller on the same machine I get similar problems. I had to play with grub to install it to the good MBR and make it load it's second stage part from the good drive. It was longtime ago and always get success using "random" commands. I used "map" command for sure, to swap both drive something like map (hd0) (hd1) map (hd1) (hd0) and/or setup (hd0) or setup (hd1) and/or root(hd1,0) Good Luke May the force be with you :-) > > -- > > > John (john at os2.dhs.org) > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > -- Alain Spineux aspineux gmail com May the sources be with you
