Hi Christopher, If /etc/fstab is correct, the partitions you're concerned with vis a vis grub are as follows: /dev/sda6 = '/' = (hd0,5) /dev/sda5 = swap = (hd0,4) From your (edited) latest /boot/grub/menu.lst: menu appears without using the installation CD/DVD

--> these look correct *as long as* the following are true: '/' = /dev/sda6 = (hd0,5) and swap = /dev/sda5 = (hd0,4) The only way for this configuration to *not* boot is if YaST has misinterpreted your partitioning scheme when writing it. Please boot into SUSE using your CD/DVD, open a shell, 'su' to superuser permissions, run 'fdisk -l /dev/sda' and copy/paste to post the results here. regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
