OK-- I'll try that. Meanwhile I have new info: I tried a fresh install from knot3 on that same computer. It worked... until I updated to the latest packages. I think I saw at least the kernel being upgraded.
I'll try /dev/sde1 but I find it strange since my disks are all udma. Anyway, thanks for the tip. Cyril -- edgy does not boot https://launchpad.net/bugs/61113 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
