If it is what I suspect, perhaps you could try assigning a label to your root partition fs and then using LABEL instead of /dev/xxx for the kernel's root parameter. For example (given your / is /dev/sda1 and that's where /boot is too): # tune2fs -L myroot /dev/sda1 Then edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and replace under ## default kernel options: # kopt=root=/dev/sda1 with # kopt=root=LABEL=myroot Run # update-grub Or, instead of menu.lst and update-grub, you can test the kernel option by pressin e, while at grub boot menu and editing the kernel line temporarily for that particular boot. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHtj3rejaFVltl6E8RApbsAKCOR9T3eAk4Pdd6byO51ZgSPUI93wCdFF7B s9b02UcPwVs7rYEM10DYRc8= =DJiQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
