Another observation is that in my case, if I manually go into Grub and execute commands to set the root, kernel, and initrd, everything works till I specify initrd - at which point Grub complains about "Inconsistent file system" and spews error 16. However, fsck shows everything clean and the machine boots fine using the same initrd when I use the bootable grub CD!
You should look up the meaning of error 16. I think that's the one that issues when the ext2 or ext3 filesystem Grub is looking to for a kernel/initrd is one it doesn't understand. Recently (for 11.1) the default inode-size for mkfs.ext3 was changed from 128 to 256. Older Grubs don't understand anything but 128, while your 11.1 / is probably using 256. -- "Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labor in vain." Psalm 127:1 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.
