Hi

Here it is, the output:

/dev/sdc1 459G 210G 226G 49% /
tmpfs 2,9G 0 2,9G 0% /lib/init/rw
varrun 2,9G 300K 2,9G 1% /var/run

My system is installed on SDC1.

Thank You

Re: Kernel Update problem

right, and do you know where is the BIOS set to boot from? Is it from the same disk? (in other words, are you booting from sdc?) This is important

Re: Kernel Update problem

Yes, it only boots on it. The other 2 disks are for storage.

Re: Kernel Update problem

Then the magic words would be:

sudo grub-install --recheck /dev/sdc

Hopefully, after that, the next boot will be able to use all your kernels.

Re: Kernel Update problem

Just another thing: that must be done with the live cd, right?

Re: Kernel Update problem

Nope, you boot on the kernel that does work, and you do that. Now, if you want to be extra cautious, you can try to use the live CD first, and boot from there, using the option to boot from the hard drive (which is what you will need to do if things go wrong). This is not necessary though, it's just for your peace of mind.

Re: Kernel Update problem

OK, this was the result:

Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.
Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub
Installing GRUB to /dev/sdc as (hd2)...
Installation finished. No error reported.
This is the contents of the device map /boot/grub/device.map.
Check if this is correct or not. If any of the lines is incorrect,
fix it and re-run the script `grub-install'.

(fd0) /dev/fd0
(hd0) /dev/sda
(hd1) /dev/sdb
(hd2) /dev/sdc


I will later, restart the system and check if the problem is solved.

Re: Kernel Update problem

That;s the usual output. Hopefully this does it, please remember to edit the first post and add [SOLVED] to the title if you are done.
