Yeah, you're right. I changed the guide to recommend a separate /boot partition because various users reported problems loading the kernel when only one large partition was used. This describes exactly what you see. I suggest you tar up your data, change the partition layout, untar it and change /etc/fstab. Then boot with an explicit root= parameter (for your new root partition) and run update-initramfs -u Then everything should be fine. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
