Portability Host system Ubuntu 8.10 Book 6.4
I am experiencing problems moving a working installation between machines. Here's how I built the system: On machine A Partition disk & unstall Ubuntu Remove disk and install on machine B Build LFS Make this bootable Machine B is now dual boot Ubuntu (on sda1) and LFS on sda3 *** Move this disk back to Machine A (not B as in the original post) *** Ubuntu boots ok LFS reports: Root-NFS: No NFS server available, giving up. VFS Unable to mount root fs via NFS, trying floppy Cannot open root device "sda3" or unknown-block (2,0) Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions: Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown block (2,0) [a blank 'list] The above error messages have been copied from hand written notes so there may be the occasional typo. However, the other boot option - Ubuntu boots OK If I remove the disk from machine A and attach it to machine B it is dual boot Ubuntu / LFS I have the feeling that I am missing somethin *very* elementary but I don't know what it is. (I have, by the way, experimented with various options at the GRUB command line, but nothing works). All comments / suggestions will be welcome. TIA Regards, Anthony. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
