Neet To Boot From Drive sdb
Posted: 20. Jun 2016, 22:57
Hi
I'm creating a Red Hat Linux Guest on a Red Hat Linux Host, I have two drive's that get created as /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. I'm trying to mimic a system where the system boots from sdb. I''m able to create the system, when I boot up the system I select F12 and select the second disk the system just sits there with a non-blinking cursor in the upper left corner. I've modified the grub.conf to boot from sdb. Anybody know how to get this to work?
This is the grub.conf:
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# root (hd0,2)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sdb1
# initrd /initrd-[generic-]version.img
#boot=/dev/sdb
default=0
timeout=5
title Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (2.6.32-504.el6.x86_64)
root (hd1,2)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.32-504.el6.x86_64 ro root=/dev/sdb1 rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_LVM LANG=en_US.UTF-8 rd_NO_MD SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 crashkernel=auto KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=us rd_NO_DM rhgb quiet
initrd /initramfs-2.6.32-504.el6.x86_64.img
Thanks
Mike
