I moved Kanotix (2006-rc4) installation form hdb9 to sdc7. I changed Grub's menu.list (on diskette) from hdb9 to sdc2 and from (hd0, to (hd2,6), and everythig was OK for some days, till I discovered that Kanotix still uses hdb9. If I rename folders in the previous installation on hdb9, kanotix hangs at boot, complaining about not found files.
I suppose there should be some more configuration file I could edit to make the moved installation work inipendently fron the old one. Or configuration is embedded in kernel o in some other not reconfigurable file (=kernel compilation or fres installation)?
Thanks for your help. |

Have you updated /etc/fstab (the one in sdc7) to reflect the new location for / ? And you need to comment out the initrd line in your menu.lst. |

Ah! That solved. Now it is OK. Why?
Anyway, thanks. |

Initrd is built with the location of root stored inside. The kanotix people here say you don't need initrd to boot. But if you want you can rebuild initrd using mkinitrd (I think... off the top of my head). The easy way is to install a new kernel. That will cause initrd to be rebuilt. |
