Yes, you will need to change the boot-up arrangements.

I got past that ok, but the install must have other - internal - referencing to 'where it lives' it seems.

The reiserfs was unhappy before then anyway, & now it says "Filesystem couldn't be fixed :( "


Have you any idea what cause that?

Like you, I dropped power once & it never really recovered. But problem as descibed above, I think. Too complicated for me as yet.

I had a reiserfs fall apart today when tha mains the the 'puter was cut off in error. A whole lot of system files in /sbin just vanished. I just replaced them from the LiveCD and everything seems to back to normal.
