Hi Rickard,

I have looked at the script and it does not do anything different than I did 
manually when diagnosing.

Most of my machines have a software-raid setup (including /boot) and none of 
them have this problem.
Thjs machine has not had this problem before as well.

So the problem I am experiencing is not exactly the same.
I also would like to know how it comes that the MBR gets changed on reboot 
(what script does that).
