Can you give us a bit more detail about the system please? With /dev/vdc, this suggests you're in a VM and this is the third drive using virtio? How big is /dev/vdc? What's the partition type? Why am I asking? grub-pc is limited by the platform underneath here when it comes to assembling RAID or LVM volumes. If a complex disk setup depends on a drive that can't be seen/read by grub at boot, it's going to struggle. I'm wondering if this might be the underlying cause of your issue. If possible, on your system, could you also reboot and call up a grub command line (hit "c" from the grub menu)? >From there, I'd love to see what you get if you run "ls" here... -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. st...@einval.com Who needs computer imagery when you've got Brian Blessed?
