I suppose that if you're satisfied with the way grub numbers the disks, there's no need to modify device.map. Perhaps one of these options needs changed (in /boot/grub/menu.lst): If it is the kernel root= parameter that you have to change: ## default kernel options for automagic boot options ## If you want special options for specific kernels use kopt_x_y_z ## where x.y.z is kernel version. Minor versions can be omitted. ## e.g. kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro ## kopt_2_6_8=root=/dev/hdc1 ro ## kopt_2_6_8_2_686=root=/dev/hdc2 ro # kopt=root=/dev/md0 ro vga=791 Or if it is the default device that grub boots from (not this if grub boots the kernel okay): ## default grub root device ## e.g. groot=(hd0,0) # groot=(hd1,0) If you run update-grub and the boot entries do not need to be corrected afterward, you've fixed the problem.
