Hi All, This is a rather unusual situation. I have a server running fedora linux OS with a 650 Gb Seagate Barracuda Harddrive. Now I wanted to mirror the server with an identical harddrive. When I plugged my new harddrive in, I got the message:
"Reboot and select proper *boot* device or *insert boot media"
- It seems that because it's an identical harddrive (with not OS
though), the PC doesn't *see* which one is the correct boot harddrive. Weird! If a plug a different harddisk than the one with the linux OS, they system boots up. Any clues on how to fix this problem? *
Are you using Cable Select or Master/Slave jumpers? It sounds like you ether have 2 drives jumpered as master, or more likely, you are using Cable Select and you moved changed what drive is on the end of the cable so you are trying to boot off the new drive.
