/dev/hda7 -> /dev/hda8

[Alex Mizrahi]

Hello, All!

i've added partition so linux moved. i did setup loader so it uses correct
one and passes root=/dev/hda8 to kernel( i tried both lilo and aspldr).

kernel starts to boot, but then breaks:

EXT2-FS Warning: check time reached: running e2fsck is recommended
VFS: Mounted root( ext2 filesystem)
Journalled Block Device drive loaded
VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev ide0(3,7)
mount: Mounting /dev/hda7 on /sysroot failed: Invalid argument

so far nobody said where to configure this 8-[[[

With best regards, Alex Mizrahi.

aw> what is /sysroot?

i don't actually know. after it some BusyBox with limited set of commands
launches..
it worked before, so i think that if i find where this wrong hda7 is
written, it will boot again.

The problem is that init after the filecheck wants to remount
your / rw, but the info in /etc/fstab tells the old value.

Boot with the following command (intelligently suited to your needs):

linux root=/dev/hda8 init=/bin/bash

They you will get a bash prompt very early. Remount the filesystem
read/write.

mount -o remount,rw /

It is possible that it won't work, and in that case, use

mount -o remount,rw /dev/hda8

Modify your /etc/fstab. Change the line which refers to your root.

*VERY IMPORTANT* change the filesystem back to ro:

mount -o remount,ro /

sync
exit

And hopefully it will work. Maybe an additional "rw" parameter on the
lilo command line eliminates the whole remount stuff, but I have
never done it that way.

i've found what it was - it did mount root filesystem according to command
in /linuxrc from initrd image.
