I had a special case where i'm using ghost to clone some drives. After about 4 attempts, and every time when booting up the cloned drive i made it to a 'grub' prompt that didn't do anything i called the person who suggested it.
He informed me that ghost won't work with grub and to install lilo on the original drive, clone it, boot the new cloned drive and then reinstall grub. All went well until i tried to switch back to grub. He had originally just told me to rename the grub.conf in /boot/grub and then after i had booted the new drive that i could simply rename the file back to it's original name uninstall lilo, and all would be well. This failed miserably so i read a little, recloned the drive, uninstalled lilo and then tried the 'grub-install --root-directory=/boot /dev/hda' and also 'grub-install --root-directory=/boot /dev/hda1' command. This time, upon rebooting, i came to a grub prompt that i could tab through. I used the setup (hd0,0) command thinking then that i would possible be able to reboot back to the original state, and still no luck. I came back to the grub prompt where i could tab to get the list of commands. Next i used 'kernel /vmlinuz' and it recognized my kernel and then i typed 'boot' but it kernel panicked saying it couldn't mount root fs on 48:05. I'm pretty lost and was under the impression that this would be quite easy. I could leave the system as a lilo system, but i prefer the grub bootloader. Can anyone offer some advice?
