Can any tell me the appropriate way of convincing Debian that the root filesystem has moved to a new partition?
I repartitioned the system disk a few days ago, and after updating /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/menu.lst everthing was working fine.. But when I 'dpkg -i' a new kernel, the old partition number reappeared in /boot/grub/menu.lst - which of course didn't help booting the new kernel :-/ I assume Debian has some knowledge of which partition is the root partition secreted somewhere, but I havn't found it yet. Parhaps there was some sort of 'reconfigure' command I am supposed to run when the partitioning changes?? Also, having tried a new kernel and installed with 'dpkg -i', is it safe to just remove the files from /root and edit it out of /boot/grub, or is it better to use pkg or apt to do it?
