I've tried this with both XFS and ReiserFS as my root filesystem, so I'm guessing it's not filesystem specific. I had the same problem with 2.5.48 and 2.5.49. Both grub and modutils are at the current version. /dev/hda5 swap /dev/hda6 /boot /dev/hda7 / Any help would be greatly appreciated. NOTE: I'm not on the list so please CC me on the reply.
