Hello,
I have an old MacBook where I installed Debian a few weeks ago on a new SSD-drive. As I wanted to use the old hard-drive where I had a former Arch installation on top I bought one of these holders with which you can mount the old drive instead of the CDROM-drive. Now it seems that the hard-drives are recognized in a different order and I cannot boot directly anymmore, as I also deleted the Arch /boot and /swap partitions. What I have been doing the past days was using a Ubuntu LiveCD to get Grub and then fire up my Debian system with
linux (hd1,gpt2)/vmlinuz....
initrd (hd1,gpt2)/initrd...
boot
But jeah, I am growing tired of this solution and I am looking for a way to directly fire up my installation from sda. I used boot-info to gather some information: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11898514/. Can I just update my grub.cfg or what would be the right way of going about it? Actually does someone know why this problem actually ocurred?
Thank you a lot in advance,
Steffen
