Yes, doing so is not the problem. I only don't understand the benefit of doing so. I quite a deterministic person - so if you can tell me a good reason, I will follow your plans. > Sorry, it's an acronym for SuperGrubDisk.

Hm - I tried to boot and I tried to install. I did not see any difference to using the netinst-CD of debian, which offers a rescue mode. Afaik ubuntu offers the option too, boot from harddisk. The point is, whatever I tried, no CD was able to boot my partition. Selecting "boot from harddisk" freezes the system. No grub menu at all. I'd like to understand, what's going on. Its really crazy - when I update grub installation from partition one (which comes up as sdd1) the generated device map has that drive as hd0. When I boot into partition 2, device map shows the boot drive as hd3 but the root-partition is sda2 I'm quite confused =8-| kind regards Gero -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
