I'm assuming the reference to fixing your bootloader means having edited the kernel and initramfs lines to point to vmlinuz-linux and initramfs-linux.img and initramfs-fallback-linux.img. The reason for clarification is, we all know when one assumes something you make an "ass out of u and me". If that's correct I should have it made, it's the first thing I did when I installed the new linux 3.0 kernel. Myra -- Life's fun when your sick and psychotic!
