Try editing /boot/grub/menu.lst You'll have entries like this: title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-2-amd64 root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-amd64 root=/dev/sda1 ro vga=ask initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-amd64 Look at the working 2.6.26-1 entry and then match the root= in 2.6.26-2 entry accordingly. That should be it. -- Juha Tuuna -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
