I tried it anyway. With the new drive at /mnt, I did rdev /mnt/vmlinuz /dev/hda2, and rdev -s /mnt/vmlinuz /dev/hda3. I then then reattached the new drive onto the first ide connector and rebooted. It failed in exactly the same way as before. In case they contains any hints, here are the messages which immediately precede the panic: partition check: hda: hda1 hda2 hda3 [MS-DOS FS Rel.12, FAT 12, check=n,conv=b,uid=0,gid=0,umask=022] [me=oxff,cs=32385,#f=255,fs=65409,fl=65409,ds=33024,de=65535,data=37215, se=65635,ts=-1,ls=65535,rc=0,fc=4294967295] Transaction block size=512 UMSDOS Beta 0.6 (compatability level 0.4 fast msdos) the lines from [MSDOS.. to Transaction.. are then repeated, and then it says Kernel panic : VFS Unable to mount root fs on 03:03.
