It appears to have worked just fine. It's amazing what you can do when you speak the language properly.

Isn't it though?  ;D ;D

Now we basically start over again, but in reverse. Shut down, but the new drive in place, and again boot to the liveCD. Start with the umount -a command, followed by the fdisk -l command, so I can see what the partitions on the new drive presently look like.

Post your results.

If  you have not done so yet, create the two mount point directories.

[root@localhost ~]# mkdir -p /mnt/here /mnt/there                 <Enter>

Then mount the two partitions we'll work with first;

[root@localhost ~]# mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/here                    <Enter>

[root@localhost ~]# mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/there                    <Enter>

... then copy the data from the /mnt/here/home directory to the new /home partition;

[root@localhost ~]# rsync -av /mnt/here/home/ /mnt/there                <Enter>

Remember the trailing / in /mnt/here/home/, so only the contents of the directory get copied.

When returned to the prompt, unmount /dev/sda6 and mount /dev/sda3 on /mnt/there, then copy the contents of the /mnt/here/root directory to /mnt/there.

[root@localhost ~]# umount /mnt/there                    <Enter>

[root@localhost ~]# mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/there                    <Enter>

[root@localhost ~]# rsync -av /mnt/here/root/ /mnt/there                <Enter>

For ease of editing the two files we'll need to edit, we next LABEL the Linux partitions.

[root@localhost ~]# tune2fs -L home /dev/sda6                  <Enter>

[root@localhost ~]# tune2fs -L root /dev/sda3                  <Enter>

[root@localhost ~]# swaplabel -L swap /dev/sda5                  <Enter>

In the next step, we need to edit two text files, /mnt/there/etc/fstab and /mnt/there/boot/grub/menu.lst, but first I need to see the contents of each, to know what to edit.

[root@localhost ~]# cat /mnt/there/etc/fstab                      <Enter>

[root@localhost ~]# cat /mnt/there/boot/grub/menu.lst                      <Enter>

Post your results.

Before I proceed with the next step of labeling, may I ask if it is needed because I labeled them as you stated, root, swap, and home, when I created the partitions?  Just curious.

If you are sure of the actual labels, that's fine. Check with;

[root@localhost ~]# blkid                              <Enter>

Post your results.

Good thing you checked blkid, as your swap LABEL is Swap. (case sensitive and all that)

The /mnt/there/etc/fstab needs to be edited to read;

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Entry for /dev/sda3 :

none /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0

Assuming you are using the official KDE release, the edits can be done with kwrite, using the following;

[root@localhost ~]# kwrite /mnt/there/etc/fstab                  <Enter>

Edit as shown above, then save the file.

[root@localhost ~]# kwrite /mnt/there/boot/grub/menu.lst                  <Enter>

Edit as shown above, then save the file.

Only after the above edits have been done, you need to create a new initrd image for your default kernel. To know what that is, we need the following information;

[root@localhost ~]# ls -l /mnt/there/boot |grep vm                    <Enter>

[root@localhost ~]# ls -l /mnt/there/boot |grep init                    <Enter>

Post your results.

Using Gnome. Gedit seems to work the same way.  Note that last two results are out of order. Also, please note that in the /grub/menu.lst file in the next line after "title linux nonfb" there is a hyphen between linux and nonfb. Is it OK there?

The hyphen in the BOOT_IMAGE=linux-nonfb has no affect on the boot menu, whereas the one in the title line prevents that option from being available.

First we have to create a proper chroot environment to work in, then create the actual new initrd image

[root@localhost ~]# mount -o bind /dev /mnt/there/dev                 <Enter>

[root@localhost ~]# mount -o bind /proc /mnt/there/proc                 <Enter>

[root@localhost ~]# mount -o bind /sys /mnt/there/sys                 <Enter>

[root@localhost ~]# chroot /mnt/there                           <Enter>

The prompt should change, to indicate you are now in the / directory of the chroot environment;

[root@localhost /]#

All commands from this point will be executed as if the chroot environment was the running system.

[root@localhost /]# cd /boot                         <Enter>

[root@localhost boot]# mv initrd-2.6.33.5-pclos1.bfs.img initrd-2.6.33.5-pclos1.bfs.img.old                <Enter>

[root@localhost boot]# mkinitrd -v initrd-2.6.33.5-pclos1.bfs.img 2.6.33.5-pclos1.bfs                  <Enter>

You should again see a lot of text scrolling up the screen. When returned to the prompt, the build is complete. To verify the build;

[root@localhost boot]# ls -l |grep init                  <Enter>

To leave the chroot environment;

[root@localhost boot]# exit                     <Enter>

[root@localhost ~]# umount /mnt/there/sys              <Enter>

[root@localhost ~]# umount /mnt/there/proc              <Enter>

[root@localhost ~]# umount /mnt/there/dev              <Enter>

[root@localhost ~]# umount /mnt/there              <Enter>

[root@localhost ~]# umount /mnt/here              <Enter>

One could just do a umount -a command, but I've had the umount of the /dev directory hang at times, so I prefer doing the umounts in the reverse order of the original mounts.

Last item is installing grub to the MBR on the new hard drive. Use the instructions here;

http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php/topic,62786.msg508062.html#msg508062

When done with that, reboot, remove the liveCD when requested, then select linux from the boot menu. If everything went as it should, which it seems to have, so far, you should experience a normal boot procedure.

Post your results.

Following is result of ls -l |grep init:

[root@localhost boot]# ls -l |grep init
-rw------- 1 root root 3847794 May 11 18:59 initrd-2.6.33.5-pclos1.bfs.img
-rw------- 1 root root 7845821 Nov 30  2010 initrd-2.6.33.5-pclos1.bfs.img.old
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      30 May 11 14:03 initrd.img -> initrd-2.6.33.5-pclos1.bfs.img

umount /mnt/there/dev and umount /mnt/there returned "device is busy". The only other information provided is a parenthetical statement starting with (In some cases useful...).
umount -a returned the same except "umount /: Device busy" was added to list.

Stopping until I hear from you.

Did you exit out of the chroot environment before issuing those umount commands?

Yes.

Would it break anything to just reboot the liveCD  and then fix GRUB?

Probably not. I have about 20 installations on this machine, so don't really use the liveCD much; just boot to another installation. If you've closed gedit after saving the edited files, I don't think anything left in memory can hurt anything at all.

Grub will be fine as a single procedure from a reboot to the liveCD. Nothing needs to be mounted, just run the procedure as in the link.

Once you can boot into the installation on the hard drive, you might want to consider installing a newer kernel. That one's pretty old, and Texstar warned us all to install the 2.6.38 kernel, to avoid problems with the new rpm packages, last summer.

If you don't have time, also OK as it is certainly not a pressing matter

There must be a real question there, somewhere.  ;D

Pray tell, what might it be?
