Hi,

I bought an SSD and moved my install over to that mostly. I kept the spinner for things like swap or things that don't get used much.

sda is the ssd, which I want to boot completely from.
sdb is the spinner which is older.

This layout as is mounted is the way I want it. The /mnt partition is my old /boot. This isn't the whole partition table but it's what matters for this discussion.

I installed the kernel into /dev/sda2 (which correctly mounts as /boot) and rebooted, got my old kernel and nothing in the list to boot from other than older kernels.

I recompiled again, thinking it was a tatered kernel. Same story.

I copied /boot/grub/grub.cfg to /mnt/grub/grub.cfg, and it boots with the new kernel.

How do I tell the box not to use the grub from /dev/sdb but instead from /dev/sda?

Code:

# lsblk

sda                       8:0    0 447.1G  0 disk

I have a very old box but in my days I used to tell my bios where to boot from!

When you power your box the first thing that starts is the bios. Therefore => bios => select the disc where to boot from

That's really embarrassing.

I've been building my own PC hardware since the early 90's. I knew that.

Thanks.
