My fingers are getting sore from all > the mount and chroot typing though ;-) Ok, After switching /boot/grub/menu.lst and /etc/fstab from disk/by-uuid labels to the standard /dev/sda# labels everything boots and runs fine. Now the question of why the by-uuid labels did not work? I updated the uuid lables in each file with the right value from /dev/disk/by-uuid using strick copy and paste to eliminate typos and then verified 3 times, they were right. I guess I'll go back and substitute uuid labels one-by-one and see where it fails. My luck, it will work this time. If I find a failure, then we will have narrowed the error down. -- David C.
