Boot loader configuration check needed

Just done an update in Squeeze and got the following warning:

Code: Select all

Is it safe to shutdown / reboot without doing anything about this? I've checked the GRUB config files but can't really see what I should be doing to fix this.

Run blkid as root. Then check that the output matches /etc/fstab and that grub is pointed to the proper partition in/boot/grub/grub.cfg

Then run update-initramfs followed by update-grub.
