You may be right. But why would /boot being a separate partition have anything to do with it? His partition has a directory boot, and inside that directory another called grub. That would be OK if it were mounted on /, but of course we can't do that. When a partition containing boot/grub is mounted on /boot, the path to the files becomes /boot/boot/grub. But grub isn't looking there for the files; its looking in /boot/grub and not finding them. My solution puts the files where grub expects to see them. I suspect this happens because the default way to install debian is without a separate /boot partition, so grub-install isn't handling the situation well. If someone can see a flaw in the above please let me know; I may yet be the learner here. Kevin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
