Re: Boot Problems with 2.6.32-5-686 Kernel

Tom,

Yes, I looked in /boot/grub.cfg and the lines for the menu entries for both normal boot and recovery mode are identical except regular boot says quiet and recovery says single.

Still can't get it to boot.

Are the "root" and "kernel" lines of the regular and recovery lines
diffeent (other than the recovery kernel line having "single" added)?
