Hello |

|

First of all, thanks _a_lot_ for your so quick answer. |

|
5 |
In facr, I just CHROOTed to my hard disk, mounted swap and boot partitions |
6 |
there, installed grub, but did not yet try to reboot from the hard disk. |
7 |
I just wanted to check that all was OK before rebooting with my freshly |
8 |
compilated environment. |
9 |
|
10 |
So maybe there is no problem at all. I will try to boot on hard disk ASAP. |
11 |
I will update you on what is going on. |

Regards |
