We had some more reports in the meantime. Windows shows only the prompt an complains about missing himem.sys (file exists).

fdisk /mbr

fixes the problem, but with reinstallation of grub it's there again. So it's 99% a grub bug in 10.3 and you do probably not need YaST logs...

oops. Sorry I didn't realize this comment is here. Removing NEEDINFO. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

This has proven very beneficial to all Operating Systems, but obviously hurts graphical program loaders like '98. Himem.sys seems to be confused if things are already in a usable state, producing the false loading error. Workarounds: * use a standalone boot selector to choose between '98 and operating systems * find a capable himem.sys from third parties. * upgrade the gaming platform to a supported version (e.g. XP) * stick to a SuSE Linux from 1998 as well. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
