The audio looping doesn't necessarily mean any software is still running; if there is stuff in the audio buffer it will do this. Normally if software is still running, it will constantly replenish the circular buffer, half at a time. > Soooo.., how can I find out where /boot actually is? Typing: df /boot will return something like: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda1 75529312 54052356 17640236 76% / which shows that /boot is part of the /dev/hda1 filesystem that is mounted on "/". That is, it is *not* separate to the root partition. If it says something like: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda1 75529312 54052356 17640236 76% /boot (note the last bit (the numbers here are not realistic)) That means that /boot is on it's own separate partition.
