difference in recognizing the drives on boot and in running OS ?

[Lentes, Bernd]

Hi,

i have a sles 10 box not booting. Grub says error 22, which, afaik means that 
it doesn't find a partition. / and /boot reside on /dev/sdc2. Device.map says 
sdc is hd2 in GRUB notation. I changed the root entries in menu.lst to hd2,1. I 
ran (in a GRUB shell in the running OS) root (hd2,1) and setup (hd2). 
Everything went fine. But when i try to reboot, i get error 22. Is there a 
possible difference between GRUB recognizing the drives during boot, and later 
on in a running OS ? Is there a way to find out how GRUB assigns the drives on 
boot, maybe using the GRUB command-line which is available during boot up ?

Thanks.


Bernd
