As I have explained in previous post, now I can boot but still have some issues to resolve: unknown groups & error comparing kernel modules for ... Unfortunately, I just have my home machine and cannot capture startup messages. Somehow, my feeling is that my /dev is the culprit. What is the prope way to migrate /dev from old to new / partition? Is it safe to comment out old compatibility mode for old devices in devfsd.conf? Sincerely, Gour > > Chris > > PS.
