I don't have access to the snapshot until Monday, but I don't think it will help. As you can see in the video a simple fsck/mount in initrd in the old kernel is enough, and grub isn't touched there. But I'll test on Monday to be sure. Bernhard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
