Hi, all,
I have install FC3T1 for a while and is quite happy about it. All of the
sudden the harddisk (/dev/hda) of /boot failed and the PC cannot be boot
up again.
So, I replaced the harddisk, inrestalled FC3T1 and of course itthe PC
works again.
The problem is: in its previous 'life' , its mount is something like this:
/dev/hda1 /boot
/dev/md0 /
...
[snip]
...
That means I have used a RAID0 device to be mounted at '/'
When I reinstalled the system, since only hda is broken and I want to be
able to see/use /dev/md0, I only choose to mount
/dev/hda1 as /boot
/dev/hda2 as /
My problem is How can I switched the '/' form /dev/hda2 back to /dev/md0?
What I have tried is to change the kernel parameters in
/boot/grub/grun.conf and changed
root=LABEL=/ to
root =/dev/md0
In this case, when the boot up sequence reaches SELinux it just fires up
tons of message. The swtich failed
Can anyone advise me how to switch '/' moun in this case? Is there a
better way to rescue it.
BTW, when I tried to use the rescue function of FC3T1, it always failed
by reporting 'File already exists'. It then shows me the only choice :
reboot. I did not really write the exact error message because I was in
hurry.
(Sorry, I guess it is slightly OT. However, here is the only relevant
linux list I subscribed to and search using keyword like 'md0' or
'recovery' just produces tons of search results which is not possible
for me to sort out. :-( )
Any help appreciated!
