Took a couple of tries, as I didn't know how to generate/calculate a UUID for the kernel location - instead, I simply used /dev/sda1. In the meantime, I fixed the problem by manually adding a new stanza in my menu.lst. Reason: Added parenthetical expression for clarity. Last edited by kalwisti December 11th, 2009 at 05:13 PM.
