On one box I changed my Lenny install fstab to use uuid's early on. I have not experienced the 'clobbered uuid' issue when I installed a second root partition. Maybe all you need to do is run 'blkid' again and make sure grub and the fstab(s) agree. -- Peace, Greg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
