Hi Martin,

Apologies - my reply was a bit terse as I was sending from my phone
and missed the list in my reply.

It is the first and 100MB in size, there's about 66MB of free space though.

When I created the ext2 file the UUID of the partition changed. Is it
possible that it refers to the old UUID of the ext4 /boot in fstab or
elsewhere?

I'll try a re-install tonight if all else fails.

Thanks!
