Re: GRUB Update - Squeeze Installation
I am a bit confused here. When installing squeeze, there is a section which creates. I selected automatic partition creation. As a result, ext3 and swap partitions were created. The ext3 partition that contains os is set to bootable. When you say boot partition, do you mean ext3?

Hi, Roman Gelfand wrote: I am a bit confused here. When installing squeeze, there is a section which creates. I selected automatic partition creation. As a result, ext3 and swap partitions were created. The ext3 partition that contains os is set to bootable. When you say boot partition, do you mean ext3? I mean wherever the /boot is available, sometimes it is in it's own partition, other times it is part of the / partition. So the ext3 partition needs to have the boot flag enabled, if it is, then I don't have any further answer at this time. -- Kind Regards AndrewM Andrew McGlashan Broadband Solutions now including VoIP -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
