Hi Peter,

I use the grub menu to boot. Find below my filo Config and grub menu.lst.
Where do I have to specify the drive? Both, /vmlinuz and /initrd.img are
symlinks, could this cause the problem? Both are fetched from sda5 when 
booted, the root filesystem itself is on sda2 ("linux notation").

Thanks
