There is also the (already current and somewhat common, see e.g. #481169) issue described here: http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/GRUB#Error_18 That is something we also do not handle, so I don't know why your case should be different. I wonder what we should do about this: - just always create a /boot partition when guided partitioning is used - add some special cases, but how to reliably detect them? - always ask if a separate /boot should be created (or probably better: create separate recipes for that) - only document the issues and how to solve them manually Cheers, FJP -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
