Both gparted and palimpsest say that SDA1 and SDB1 are bootable, and both say that SDA2 and SDB2 are flagged as home. >I also personally never got the hang of UUID values for booting and >might suggest that you archive the /etc/fstab and use partition names >instead to see if that helps debug anything. > >Additionally, you may want to enable verbose boot with grub2 and see >what that gives you when trying to boot from /dev/sdb1, and where it >derails. > >Lastly, what does the BIOS/EFI say is the order of the two drives?

I don't recall seeing anything about masters and slaves. Both are SATA3 drives. Do SATA drives even have master/slave settings? Having said that, I am curious how the BIOS decides which is the hard drive to boot to. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
