[SOLVED] CentOS 6.3 Boot issue (menu.lst/grub.conf ignored?)
Posted: 2012/11/15 02:01:58
I recently had to replace a hard drive that appeared ready to quit. After moving everything in /boot over and re-installing GRUB on to the new disk (along with editing fstab to point /boot to the new partitions UUID) and removing the old drive, I've seem to hit a bit of an issue.
When I reboot the machine, I get immediately dumped out to the grub menu. I don't see any errors or any additional information, it appears to go straight to the prompt from what I can tell. For reference, my base grub.conf:
[code]
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title CentOS
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.32-279.14.1.el6.x86_64 ro root=/dev/mapper/vg_sechserv-lv_root
initrd /initramfs-2.6.32-279.14.1.el6.x86_64.img
[/code]
The thing that has me confused is that if I manually type in the root, kernel and initrd lines exactly as they are in grub.conf into the grub prompt, everything boots just fine. Am I missing something else? Some other step I needed to complete when I moved the boot file to the new drive?
