Grub doesn't care about the hda-sda-module-issue, it just cares about the sequence, e.g. one Linux call it hda and sda, but for another Linux the same disks are sda and sdb, that's the way you could correct it, but it's just important that "root (hdx,y)" is set to the correct number of the disk sequence, 0 for the first disk, 1 for the second one etc.. Because you're using "root=UUID", it should be the same like it's for "root=/dev/disk/by-label/", you only need to take care because of "root (hdx,y)". There still could be some other issues, but I guess you could fix your problem by correcting "root (hdx,y)". You should have copied the MBR by the dd command, but don't panic, even if Windows should have partitioned something there are tools to restore the old partition table. _______________________________________________ 64studio-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-users
