Isn't (hd1,2) the same device as /dev/sdb2? It looks like your /boot and / are the same here... 2. The normal name for the kernel is "vmlinuz-...". You have "kernel-..." So, which partition actually contains /boot? How are you switching between grub versions? Important: if you are changing the disk boot order in the BIOS, you need to remember that grub always defines (hd0) as the currently booting drive...regardless of the order of the drives in the system. So you may need to change everything to be (hd0,X). Can you get to a grub command line, and do a "find /kernel-2.6.12-r6"? -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
