Comment 22 for bug 181561

I's installed a alternate version (1 week old) so:

Why can i boot and install with alternate kernel and not with desktop kernel ? What's the differences ?

I'v noted a big problem with alternate install, that may be informative for this bug. Tell me if i should create a new Bug report.
This problem is that root partition are completely mixed.

## default grub root device
