No, I never use genkernel and I use modules only for things I need once a year (loop, ramdisk, ... ) or things which can't be built into the kernel. Just now I tried the vanilla kernel. Let's see what the reboot brings up. Regards Frank On Tue, 2006-08-22 at 10:16 +1200, Nick Rout wrote: > On S

Right, fstab still isn't relevant here. It is a grub/kernel problem. Regards Frank On Sun, 2006-08-20 at 13:58 +0200, Mirek Dvořák wrote: > what about fstab? > Mirek > > 2006/8/20, frank <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Just a bit more info, I've rebooted into the new system. > Here's the
