Thanks for your contribution. I spent nearly the whole day digging around this issue ... I wonder if I speak for more users when I say that all this is kind of confusing sometimes ... and as mentioned I take the opportunity to clean up this (my!) mess here now as it grew over the years. I am not so far to skip the initramfs -> I don't *know* that, I just tested removing the line from grub2 and it failed finding the root-fs. For booting from a plain partition on an SSD I think I shouldn't need an initramfs? Does it have to do with MBR/GPT as well (the SSD is still/again MBR, as UEFI booting broke badly for me back then) ? Maybe I learn more soon ;-) Stefan
