I had a problem earlier that required me to reinstall Karmic. I reinstalled only the / file. Little did I know that install would squeeze everything into that little partition. I have a /home and /swap part from my previous install.
How do I force Karmic to recognize my old /home?
This is my boot info script:
============================= Boot Info Summary: ==============================
=> Grub 1.97 is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda and looks on the same drive
in partition #2 for /boot/grub.
=> No boot loader is installed in the MBR of /dev/sdb
