I believe so. Could you mount your boot partition and verify you have a vmlinuz and initrd symlinks to their respective kernel and initrd? Should be as easy as, in a console as root, mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt, then go to /mnt in Konqueror.
Would love to see the fstab in your 10.0 system.
OK, was able to mount the drive. Here is the fstab

You could probably mkdir /data1, then use Yast Partitioner to mount the old 10.0 root lvm partition to /data1 to get to it.
I'm afraid I don't understand. I don't know what you mean by using the partitioner to mount the LVM partition.
Yes it is called dev/hdb3 like normal and is designated Linux LVM.
Where are you seeing this?
By looking directly at the partition table in Yast Partioner.
FYI There is another entry further down in the table that is the exact same size and is identified as /dev/system and is designated LVM2 System.
That might be it. You could try changing the root=/dev/hdb3 to root=(hd1,2)/dev/system.
No, tried it. (hd1,2)?? (Why that?) Anyway, I still get the error19 message about kernel before initrd. Bless you Joe, and I can't thank you enough for helping me. I am sure we are close now. Stick with me and I will check back tomorrow night.
