Looks like libblkid isn't seeing /dev/sdb1, the ext2 grub boot partition. For completeness I've added /proc/partions and tune2fs output.

PS /dev/sdb was originally partitioned with Win2K. Kubuntu 6.06 was installed into unpartioned space in Jun 06. The final partition layout was made with gparted-livecd-0.3.4-11 in April 08 when I added the boot and testsys partitions and resized system.
