Fixed.
Hmmm. I think you fixed to much :-( On my retest I find that now my unstable partition /dev/hdb8 does not boot anymore with a similar message. In that case the kernel and initrd _are_ in a /boot subdirectury on the root filesystem, but in the current menu.lst (attached in my mail earlier today) there is no /boot prefix for both. To recap: - my Woody installation on /dev/hda5 has it's own boot partition on /dev/hda1; - for my unstable (/dev/hdb8) and testing (/dev/hdb9) partitions the /boot subdirectory is a part of the respective root partitions.
