What does "no way to boot" mean? Is Lenny's /boot on sdc5 or sdc6? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

The /boot partition is on sdc5 ext3. So grub is loading your initrd and the latter cannot mount your partitions, probably because you are using sdc6 instead of hdc6 or because Lenny is recognizing sdc/hdc as sda/hda or sdb/hdb. Run blkid /dev/sdc6 Change your linux line to linux /vmlinuz-2.6.28 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/<output_of_blkid_above> ro rootfstype=ext4 vga=788 or linux /vmlinuz-2.6.28 root=/dev/hdc6 ro rootfstype=ext4 vga=788 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

No boot. Can it be a bios problem or a GRUB bug ?
