You are sure, that this is the output of the affected grml2hd installation? This would be interesting. :)
I did a chroot /mnt/sda1 (where I had previously mounted the affected grml installation) and then entered the dpkg command that you have sent. So I assume that should be the correct output, shouldn it? Is there room for mistakes?
Yes, this should provide the correct output. Confuses me a little bit now, as you are using an very old initramfs-tools version which I don't think suffers from this problem.
Here is lilo.conf (which I currently use):
[...]
=> the hard disk is really sda (the only existing partition is sda1)
Ok, so just replace the: append="grml_from_hd root=UUID=ffb575cc-c8df-4063-e0f8cb6aff03 " with append="grml_from_hd root=/dev/sda1"
That worked! Thanks a lot!!
Great to hear that.
You can edit the commandline of grub interactive (just press 'e', then edit the according line(s) and after pressing 'enter' to activate the changes, finally boot the entry using 'b') as well.
When booting the corrupt system I do not even see a menu. It is not possible to enter anything since as soon as 'GRUB' appears the system hangs.
But that doesn't matter now since with LILO everything works fine. Thanks again.
Ok. :)
