unable to access sda2 on boot

[Peter Ebert]

Hello All, first post, hope I don't mess anything up.

First off, I'm running Fedora Core 2.6.20-1.2925.fc6

I had everything running semi smothly on a new intel board, found out that
my cd problems were caused by the board, so I swapped for an old
abit aw8-max, everything else remaining the same.

When I tried to boot, after "Red Hat Nash version 5.1.19.0.3 starting" I get
the error:
"Unable to access resume device (LABEL=SWAP-sda2)"
"mount: could not find filesystem '/dev/root'"
Then a series of errors that I assume are a result of not being able to
mount these partitions?

Now from my little knowledge I figure that maybe the drives get
ordered/named differently with the new motherboard, maybe sda is where sdb
used to be (btw have 2 sata drives, that were working fine before switching
mobo).  So I switch the SATA cables.  This time the system can't find
anything to boot on, uh oh.

I put in the install disk I used, and run "linux rescue" it succesfully
detects the install, and i think it mounts ok (little fuzzy on what that
means exactly but I didnt get any errors geting to the rescue shell)  When I
get to a command line i type the only command i can think of "fdisk -l" and
see the drives detected correctly and the partitions on them listed
correctly as well.

>From here I do not know what to do, just not enought knowledge.  I could
start fresh but I had things setup just the way I liked them (with mythtv).

Help/suggestions? If you need more info please ask.

Thanks
Peter
