Thanks for the replies.
Yes, I surely understand that grub gets confused if I remove a device
that's "supposed" to be there. :)
My menu.lst looks like this:
#boot=/dev/cciss/c0d0
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title CentOS (2.6.18-8.el5)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-8.el5 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
initrd /initrd-2.6.18-8.el5.img
menu.lst isn't autogenerated (right?) from grub-install, so I guess I
have to do some scripting to fix the faults in it. Why is boot=
commented out?
Roy:
So I can use two hd0 without grub complaining? I have to look into
this.
BR,
Andy
