The "root" in grub terms does *not* correlate to the root device for your Linux kernel! The grub root device is where grub expects to find the kernel; i.e., this should be wherever /boot is, *not* where /root is! Your kernel's root device is specified to the kernel with a kernel command line parameter. Not with the grub "root" parameter! -- Fun will now commence -- Seven Of Nine, "Ashes to Ashes", stardate 53679.4 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
