I've arranged update-grub (see my last commit) to make it tollerant to unreadable /, and just disable non-critical features when this happens, instead of aborting. But, AFAICT the LVM readability issue I forwarded is still a problem, since it could apply to /boot as well. -- Robert Millan My spam trap is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Note: this address is only intended for spam harvesters.
