Hate to bother you all again, I took Bernard's advice and upgraded from
3.4 to 3.6.2 and it works a little better, while the master script will
detect whether the drive is /dev/hda or /dev/sda, grub still will not
install under the following conditions:
I install CentOS 4.2 on a server on a SATA (/dev/sda) drive.
I si_prepareclient on that server
I restore the CentOS 4.2 image to an IDE (/dev/hda) drive.
The master script creates the appropriate file system (parted, mke2fs)
The master script copies all of the data from the server, to the client.
When it gets to the Grub.pm section of systemconfig it says:
No suitable drive was found in the generated device map.
Reverting to backed up copy.
Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at
/usr/lib/systemconfig/Boot/Grub.pm line 160.
Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at
/usr/lib/systemconfig/Boot/Grub.pm line 164.
Use of unintialized value in concatenation (.) or string at
/usr/lib/systemconfig/Boot/Grub.pm line 235
Use of unintialized value in concatenation (.) or string at
/usr/lib/systemconfig/Boot/Grub.pm line 237
Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.
Then it unmounts everything...
and pretends as though all is well.
When the box reboots with the hard drive as it's main boot device; I get a
confused Grub either trying to use root=LABEL=/ for root, or /dev/sda2 as
root
Either way this appears to fail as I get a kernel panic when the kernel
attempts to switch its root.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
