Also I'd replace the LABELs in your grub.conf with the actual devices, eg /dev/sdb2, in case there is some confusion. Finally, I'd see what happens if you say "configfile ..." when in your grub interactive phase. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
