It does, I just failed to copy it into the email :) > You should be able to run the search command by hand in > a rescue shell and see what it does. Do you mean a grub or busybox shell? I *can* boot into the proper Debian system now, so I can run anything necessary from there too. Will the ID used in the grub search command match that produced by the "blkid" command? >> What's the easiest way to check what storage devices are available >> without mounting them? > > You mean in GRUB? You can use the 'ls' command at the rescue shell. grub or debian — I was thinking along the lines of something that lists the device, how it's connected, capacity, etc. I'm used to a nice big desktop system where I can browse through gnome-device-manager :P — Jason -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
