ASHLEY - Your grub issue may be that grub-install may only install an already compiled and loaded version of the MBR phase one piece. YOU MAy have to do a GRUB Make to rebuild the MBR piece with the new system architecture taken into account.. Ie you were just installing the same MBR as the existing one, when what you need to do is build a new single drive version of the MBR and install that. In a standard MAKE environment, Make install only rebuilds the executables if the sources they depend on have changed. otherwise they just install the compiled binary image already in the directory from the last full build. In your case, you need to do the GRUB equiivalent of a "Make clean" which purges all the binarys and the executables and then a "make install" to built the new binaries and install them. Michael S may know how to direct you there as he seems to have more grub expertise than I and may know the rebuild from scratch commands required. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
