Sounds like #542165, or possibly #550704. Could you please try the version of grub-common and grub-pc in unstable? If that doesn't help, please show me the output of: cat /boot/grub/device.map sh -x /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg > So first thing: I don't understand why grub should be interested in my / ... > there is a /boot mounted. In general (although perhaps not in every specific case), GRUB still needs to know things about /; for example, update-grub needs to generate appropriate root= kernel parameters. -- Colin Watson [[email protected]] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
