Writing this from chroot. When I run update-grub, it appears to be working but ends with something akin to an error: root # update-grub Generating grub.cfg ... Found background image: /usr/share/images/desktop-base/desktop-grub.png Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.0.0-1-686-pae Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.0.0-1-686-pae Cannot find list of partitions! (Try mounting /sys.) done So its not clear if it has finished properly or what. Apparently /sys is not populated in a chroot, or there is something I needed to run before chroot. Anyway, I'm going to try booting manually again with ArntK's addition of adding the initrd line to the grub commands -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
