Since this is the /boot partition containing your kernel, you’ll need to make its new position known to the bootloader (usually GRUB) afterwards.
The exact commands depend on the distribution you’re using, but you’ll usually boot a live CD/USB of your distro, mount your partitions in a chroot environment, and run grub-install <code>/dev/<your main disk></code>.
With prior experience or a good tutorial, that’s done in five to ten minutes. ;)</p></article></div><div class="right sidebar"><div class="backlinks"><h3>Backlinks</h3><ul class="overflow"><li><a href="./" class="internal"></a></li></ul></div></div></div><footer class><hr/><ul></ul></footer></div></body><script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/contrib/copy-tex.min.js" type="application/javascript"></script><script type="application/javascript">function c(){let t=this.parentElement;t.classList.toggle("is-collapsed");let l=t.classList.contains("is-collapsed")?this.scrollHeight:t.scrollHeight;t.style.maxHeight=l+"px";let o=t,e=t.parentElement;for(;e;){if(!e.classList.contains("callout"))return;let n=e.classList.contains("is-collapsed")?e.scrollHeight:e.scrollHeight+o.scrollHeight;e.style.maxHeight=n+"px",o=e,e=e.parentElement}}function i(){let t=document.getElementsByClassName("callout is-collapsible");for(let s of t){let l=s.firstElementChild;if(l){l.addEventListener("click",c),window.addCleanup(()=>l.removeEventListener("click",c));let e=s.classList.contains("is-collapsed")?l.scrollHeight:s.scrollHeight;s.style.maxHeight=e+"px"}}}document.addEventListener("nav",i);window.addEventListener("resize",i);
