Fedora Core 1 question.
During setup I tried to set my partitions like this.
hdc
hdc1 > M$-XP
hdc2 > /boot
hdc3 > /
hdc4
hdc5 > /home
hdc6 > swap
After install I downloaded the 2.4.26 kernel, re-compiled it, updated grub,
then rebooted. I got a kernel panic. After some troubleshooting I ran rdev
and discovered my root device was hdc5. The df command shows / and /home as
being swapped. When I say swapped I mean they are on the opposite
partitions that I thought I had chosen during setup. The grub entry for the
original kernel shows root=/dev/hdc3. But, it also has an entry for a .img
ramdisk. Would the ramdisk entry in grub fix the wrong root= entry in grub
allowing / to be found? Also, would fedora prefer to have / on hdc5 because
XP is on hdc1?
I did not make a ramdisk, I just changed root=/dev/hdc3 to root=/dev/hdc5
and grub found my / partition and everything went smoothly.
Any info will be appreciated. Thanks. -Cody
