i think that "sda" option might be removed for newer kernels and that you |
| 2 |
should go along |
| 3 |
with "hdx"...when you boot and you get the grub screen choose the entry of |
| 4 |
your new kernel |
| 5 |
and type "e" so that you can edit that entry...then you have to choose the |
| 6 |
appropriate root |
| 7 |
partition to boot with...i think that pressing "tab" button will show you |
| 8 |
the available options even |
| 9 |
when you're in edit mode...otherwise you should boot for example with the |
| 10 |
new knoppix livecd and |
| 11 |
see how your partitions are recognized... |
