I have a fairly similar situation: I want to move /boot from /dev/sda1 to bigger partition, /dev/sdb1. I made too small a boot partition during installation, and now the new kernel won't fit.
System is Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS.
First I made an ext3 partition sdb1 for new /boot. Then copied boot files to it:
Code:
mkdir /mnt/boot
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/boot
cp -a /boot/* /mnt/boot/
then I made the following changes to /etc/fstab:
Code:
# /boot was on /dev/sda1 during installation
#UUID=fa813154-3586-494d-9acf-83ce02daee92 /boot ext4 defaults 0 2
# new /boot, sdb1. 4 GiBs for kernels.
UUID=f016e578-c2f9-4e03-908b-6f043062134d /boot ext3 defaults 0 2
Question is, did I forget something, or may I reboot now from my new /boot? Is there some grub2 configuration or updating left to do?
Thank you in forward. I'm new to ubuntuforums, and sorry if the answer is somewhere around. Didn't find the direct answer though.
