I've just discovered the problem (at 1 am of course). I'm using Linux with my own custom kernel running on a quad Mac Pro (no Parallels, no Bootcamp, no Windows, no OS X etc, and hence no partition restrictions.....:-). Since this is an Intel Mac, running grub used to be a bit tricky owing to the A20 line problem, so I've been using lilo instead. After building the kernel, I dutifully typed the following, as any good lilo believing kernel builder should: lilo This ended up placing the boot block on the root partition. I had previously told the Mac EFI boot loader to look for it on the MBR of my first SATA drive, which in this case is a very different location. What I should have used was: lilo -b /dev/sda It was booting the old kernel of course, which was the same version release as the rebuilt one. (....slapping forehead.....) All is working just as expected now.....:-) Many Thanks for your comments........
