Minor versions can be omitted. ## e.g. kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro # kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro ======================================== change that, _leaving it commented out_, and then rerun update-grub to make sure it looks how you want. also notice that you can even specify different options for kernels based on major/minor versions, which might be helpful for debian vs homerolled kernels. hth, sean Attachment:
