I don't think grub can be expected to fix this for you automatically. The most that grub does is populate the entry automatically with the contents of the "kopt" variable in menu.lst: ## default kernel options ## default kernel options for automagic boot options ## If you want special options for specifiv kernels use kopt_x_y_z ## where x.y.z is kernel version. Minor versions can be omitted. ## e.g. kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro # kopt=root=/dev/hda5 ro vga=791 If you want new kernel entries to automatically be given /dev/sda5 for their root fs, you should edit that last line. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
