Hello Marc Joliet,
Alternatively, ditch a separate /boot altogether, it really isn't
needed with modern hardware.
I use lvm, so that wouldn't yield good results :-/.
I too use LVM and it yields excellent results.

Now that is you have to explain to me. Is the stage2 found regardless
due to the hardcoded pointer upon installing? So the 'logical' part of
the volume doesn't

Hello Marc Joliet,
What I meant was that I have / on a logical volume, so I can't
put /root on it.
Which is what I used to do, and means you have a separate /boot partition
and need an initrd. By combining / and /boot, you have one less
partition, the same number of non-LVM partitions and no

That only means you made / too big, the same would happen if you
made /boot too big. My / partition is 400MB and less than 50% full, 300MB
would be plenty.
And I could easily shrink it down to a sane size were it on LVM. That
was kinda the point.
Hi,
I suspect your root is a lot more than it needs to be, does it
include /opt?
No, it actually turns out that I have a lot of cruft in
/root. Outdated portage snapshots, old kernel images moved from /boot
when it filled up, mysql binary log files I weren't sure were
essential.. Without all

The trouble with using noauto is that sooner or later you will forget to
mount /boot

Hello Mick,
Alternatively, ditch a separate /boot altogether, it really isn't

A separate /boot is to get round BIOS limitation that prevent accessing
beyond the first so many cylinders (1024?) of a drive, so it was
essential to have the

In which case it's just as easy to use a small root partition,

Hi,
After the reboot following my daily upgrade from yesterday - during

starting. It's attempt to start looked like this:
