Re: boot with two

Sometimes, grub can be confused if you install two disks with Linux installed. I'm not sure the reason but maybe is because the root=LABEL="/" will match the two disks.

You can try setting the root to a specific disk. Edit the grub menu and replace the root entry for the selected kernel with something like:


root=/dev/sda3 #For scsi
root=/dev/hda3 #For IDE

You must know the partition that holds your root file system.

Check in BIOS which disk is recognised as master and which one as slave, if there is a conflict then check jumper setting on hdd.
