Debian's /boot is on /dev/sdc3 and Fedora 13's /boot is on > /dev/sdc5. Their other partitions (/, /usr, /home) all are on LVM volumes. /dev/sdc5 is an extended partition. IIRC, update-grub only checks primary partitions--primarily because your BIOS can't boot anything in an extended partition, either. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, C2 Hosting ricks@xxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Which is worse: ignorance or apathy?
