To be more specific: I think update-grub does that. So if you change to a different root device you would have to update /etc/fstab and then run update-grub. But, if you've changed to a different root device, all the older kernel versions would also fail to boot if you didn't do that. > > Note: My disk is encrypted. > [...] > > Make sure you still have cryptsetup-initramfs installed.
