I am going through this thread backwards, with apologies... Do both the "set root" and "search" lines point to the partition where /boot is? To check the UUID of /boot: grub-probe -t fs_uuid /boot [And (just in case), unlike grub1, for grub2 sda1<-->(hd0,1), sda2<-->(hd0,2).] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
