Sorry, i forgot in my first posting that this is only the half of the story because you can use labels with grub too. If you will have labels for your partitions than you should look for the names in /dev. $ ls -l /dev/disk/by-label/ insgesamt 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 10. Mai 09:19 DATEN32 -> ../../sda11 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 10. Mai 09:19 arch64boot -> ../../sda7 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 10. Mai 09:19 arch64root -> ../../sda8 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 10. Mai 09:19 archboot -> ../../sda5 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 10. Mai 09:19 archroot -> ../../sda6 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 10. Mai 09:19 home -> ../../sda10 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 10. Mai 09:19 system -> ../../sda1 Than use the editor of your choice and replace the value of "root=". Example from my menu.lst (i cut my options to avoid line breaks): # Arch Linux title Arch Kernel root (hd0,4) kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-label/archroot ro initrd /kernel26.img After this it should not matter if the kernel devs decide to use other device names in the future. -) See you, Attila
