I have *no* software raid that I know of! Yes /var does have its own partition. I can boot off the USB stick with Lucid 10.04 LTS on it, but I did not install from it. This was a distribution upgrade using Update Manager. The kernels shown by GRUB are 2.6.32.21 2.6.31.21 2.6.27.11 I can't boot from the first two. The last one boots to a log in prompt, then freezes, but gives me a console session on tty1. It also boots in recovery mode.
