I use raid on my servers only, which I did not update to 6.0.1 - and I won't do that, til the bug has been found and eliminated. On my desktop system, fstab has 40 active entries. > Maybe we both a wrong is probably the most likely case. :( :D As Tom stated, grub has not been updated, so the only remaining possibility is, that a kernel change makes grub fail ... So I took a closer look to dpkg.log and the kernel has been changed. I did not find a log-entry for execution of update-grub, but I'm quite sure, that this has been run (isn't this true for every kernel change?). I remember old days, where kernel had a parameter like "boot from externals first". As today it's most probabely, that internal controllers (from mainbord) are faster than external controllers, an option like "internal controller always is first" would be quite a good option. May be, that UUID and Label relaxes harddisk handling, but surely there's stil a lot of software around, that uses /dev/sdxx, or like grub (hd#, partition#). It's quite annoying, booting from debian installer in rescue mode and at the menue, where a root partition has to be choosen, you have to select i.e. /dev/sda1 - and after starting a shell into that root partition, the device suddenly is /dev/sde1 - and "mount", "cat /proc/partition" and "df -T" all show different device names for the same partition. kind regards Gero -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
