Thomas: This may be clear already, but in case it's not I wanted to give you a more detailed explanation -- the problem was that your original menu.lst file was set to have update-grub use hda6 as the boot device. Specifically, this section:
## ## Start Default Options ## ## default kernel options ## default kernel options for automagic boot options ## If you want special options for specific kernels use kopt_x_y_z ## where x.y.z is kernel version. Minor versions can be omitted. ## e.g. kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro ## kopt_2_6_8=root=/dev/hdc1 ro ## kopt_2_6_8_2_686=root=/dev/hdc2 ro # kopt=root=/dev/hde6 ro Now, I know that that last line above LOOKS like a COMMENT, but that is also actually a SETTING used by update-grub to know what the boot device and mount options are that it should use for making the boot menu entries. Anyway I hope that helps. -- Chris -- Chris Knadle [EMAIL PROTECTED]
