reboot with a different kernel first. Removing the modules for the
kernel you're currently running can be dangerous.
That made good sense, so I did it, and no nasty messages happened.
then I got this swag of errors. I've been googling madly but no joy.
/dev/sdb1 (root drive) and /dev/sdc1 (unmounted backup) both have boot
directories. It leaves me somewhat nervous about re-booting. Any
suggestions?
thanks
