Look at > the BTS for bug #558042. There is also the workaround for the problem. grub-pc is broken when you have a separate /boot partition for any distribution see for example: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/442631 Both the "set root=..." and the "search ..." lines point to / rather than to /boot. You can create a correct menuentry in 40_custom and re-run grub-mkconfig. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
