Hey, may be u missed some of my writings. I wrote, that I came to debian at woody time and from then on, I'm used to *daily* (!) dist-upgrages ... so the last upgrade was from debian 6.0 to 6.1 And yes of cause - I use LABEL and UUID in fstab for years ;) If you read my writing carefully, you'll notice that I wrote, that grub has problems with changing drive order. The point is, in grub.cfg each partition is mentioned by (hd?, msdos?) and hd? never matches. Last weeks I managed grub update errors by manually editing grub.cfg (I know it should not be done, but it was the only way for me to get the system running). > Stable probably WILL break at updates, but it SHOULDN'T between updates. I don't remember, when I came to debian stable, guess that will be more than 5 years - and during that time, *no* "dist-upgrade" *ever* broke my system. - til today - Therefore - for me - debian stable shows up, what's possible to OS stability. Now I built a new partition, where I installed Ubuntu and now I can boot in my "old" Debian stable system having the controller plugged in - using grub from ubuntu. ... by the way: the controller is this (excerpt from lspci): SCSI storage controller: HighPoint Technologies, Inc. RocketRAID 230x 4 Port SATA-II Controller (rev 02) and the mainboard is a GA880GM-UD2H Boot-drive is an Intel X25-V and /usr and /var are on OCZ Vertex 2E each. It has been said, that debian 6.0 is completely free - so if the controller worked the last months, what is more free now, that it won't work with 6.01? Does anyone know a tool, that can recover (deleted) partion table from disks > 500GB?
