Even better than changing from /dev/hda to /dev/sda, would be to use labeled file systems (using LABEL=mumble instead of /dev/hdaN or /dev/sdaN).

[CentOS] Booting from a USB hard drive?
I'm trying to learn Asterisk (specifically Trixbox) and, as you probably know, it runs on CentOS. I want to run it on my laptop and thought that I could install it to an external USB hard drive, like I've done with Fedora 12 and Linux Mint 8 (I like to keep my small CentOS/Windows dual booting hard drive in the laptop's hard drive slot). But it won't work. It kept giving me hard drive errors when I tried to install it to the USB drive, so I installed it in the regular hard drive slot in the laptop -- where it works fine. But when I move it to the USB enclosure, it starts to boot, but can't mount the partitions and goes into kernel panic. I checked this with my CentOS hard drive and it does the same. I'm guessing the only reason Linux Mint works is because it refers to all partitions as "sda" instead of "hda" -- so it doesn't know it's in the wrong slot (just a guess). Is there an easy fix for this? Is there some configuration file that I can change entries from "hda" to "sda" so the partitions will mount or is it more involved than that?

I suspect what might be happening is the i386 package sometimes gets updated first, then confuses it when it goes to update the x86_64 package. perhaps this happens when a mirror is only partially updated, but thats just a wild guess. this can be a real annoyance when it happens with a package, like for instance a library, that you have to have both 386 and _64 packages for... ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
