Re: Trying to move root partition

I want to move my root partition to a new drive. I created a new
partition and formatted it, and then used cp -a from a knoppix CD to
copy the root parition files over to the new parition, and changed
fstab to point to the new location. However, when I reboot from the
new location, I get this error and a kernel panic, and the system
freezes during boot:
mout: /dev2/root2 is not a valid block device
Does anyone know what happened?
In addition to editing /etc/fstab, you probably also need to edit
/etc/lilo.conf and then rerun lilo (assuming you're using lilo).
But I may be misunderstanding your question. It might help if you posted
your partition scheme, and your pre-change fstab and your post-change fstab.
