Turns out /boot wouldn't mount at system start-up because I had 'default' instead of 'defaults' specified for /boot in /etc/fstab. Now /boot gets mounted automatically without any further ado. box0=; mount|grep ^/dev /dev/sda3 on / type ext4 (rw,noatime,data=ordered) /dev/sda1 on /boot type ext2 (rw,noatime) /dev/sda5 on /home type ext4 (rw,noatime) Thanks.
