Something here doesn't look right. I assume that on 10.0 you have your /boot contained on the root partition since you have grub-root as (hd1,0) and system root as /dev/hdb1 which would be the same. Now for 10.2, I'm seeing grub-root as (hd2,0) which would be hdc or sdc unless you have things mapped differently and your system root is sda1 Didn't know you had three drives... ???????? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
