Hi Andy,
By the time you have the squeeze version of
update-grub though, none
of those workarounds will work. You absolutely have to have either a
filesystem directly on /dev/xvda, or a partitioned disk at
/dev/xvda.
Ah, okay. I think I may have got the wrong end of the stick. At the risk
of grabbing the 3rd end, my output of mount gives:
/dev/xvda on / type ext3 (rw,relatime)
tmpfs on /lib/init/rw type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,mode=0755)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=620)
Presumably this means I'm okay. Forgive all my guessing here - it must be
terribly frustrating to someone who has a decent understanding of all of
this!
I haven't yet looked to see if this is the case
for you.
If you're able to that'd be appreciated, however I certainly don't expect
it as I know your role here is not providing free technical support to
numpties like me!
