Thanks, Mika -
you solved the problem as usual -
now, with the addition of ide0=noprobe and ide1=noprobe to lilo, which counters the kernel's preference to load ide first, and the (correct, I hope) UUID -

Mika, you are a genius, and I can go on trying to experiment with things I should not really touch.
The experimental grml 1.0 is so attractive, however, I am thinking of taking the plunge, now that everything works, and redoing the whole network.
At any rate, you have once again proven that intelligence and kindness to newbies overcomes just about any issue that can arise.
Greetings from New York, and much gratitude.
Your,
Martin
