Hello Jarry, I am able to get into the system with the current setup that is the strange thing, I am NOT using the liveCD any more, I am booting using GRUB, it loads the kernel and then it prompts me for a root block device and then I enter /dev/sda6 <--- this is my sata drive and when I do this it mounts the root (sda6 is my root partition) my boot is /dev/sda1
Does this change any thing seeing I am able to do the above? if so what should I do?
