MxEasy Security Camera Software (was Finding Library Dependencies)

2011-05-10 Thread CACook

grub-probe: error: cannot stat `/dev/root'

2011-05-06 Thread CACook
This just started after my most recent (very painful) dist-upgrade. It seems that BTRFS is not compatible with grub and Debian. I very nearly lost my whole system because of this catastrophe. Does anyone know the nature of the error and how to fix? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-r
