No qrexex error. Re update: I meant both cases, like you assumed but primarily recompiling with changes to the coldkernel.config. I did all these steps again, like described. That includes update grub. I did have the same errors mentioned earlier in the thread. (/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/mapper/dmroot. Check your device.map.) but other than that everything looked fine. Something must have gone wrong. I will try again like you described. Thanks very much for your help and the tip with switching back to normal kernel...so obvious that I would have missed it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
