Okay, this should be switched to use UUIDs instead of device names as device names are unreliable. Most likely, this is also a change that needs to be made in grub-installer. > The problem is that I have 2 hard drives and I installed Debian by using > a USB stick.

That's why device names are really bad despite the Unix traditionalist insisting that any changes in this regard are bad. > Thank you all for porting GRUB, it is nice to see it on PPC! > > As requested, here follows my grub.cfg: > (...) > echo 'Loading Linux 4.19.0-4-powerpc64 ...' > linux /boot/vmlinux-4.19.0-4-powerpc64 > root=UUID=8d05def0-133c-44a2-adf2-8d2e7b2be4a7 ro quiet > echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...' > initrd /boot/initrd.img-4.19.0-4-powerpc64 > } Alright. So GRUB is correctly configured to use UUIDs, it's just the fstab that has got the wrong entry that we need to deal with. Adrian -- .''`.
