I moved a redhat7.2 drive to a new machine. We went from an adaptec SCSI
adapted to symbios and now I cant get the system to boot (only a "cant find
INIT" error)
Does anyone know who to upgrade or change to symbios without doing an
install? Keeping the files on the hard drive entact is key.
Thanks,
Mike

Mike, please don't post HTML to the list - plain text only.

If you have access to the old PC it came out of it is (relatively) easy.

If not, it gets a LOT harder because we would have to create a new initrd
image containing the symbios controller driver on another Linux box.

Probably the easiest I can think of is move the Adaptec over as well, hook
the drive to it, let the system boot and make sure kudzu picks up BOTH SCSI
cards, and adjusts as necessary. You may have to tinker still with
makeinitrd I'm not exactly sure, because I don't know whether kudzu is THAT
smart. Then shut down, remove the Adaptec, hook the drive to the symbios and
all should be good.

I think

Maybe

Hopefully....
