If it was an older install that had been upgraded over and over, I would tend to agree. Fact is, it was a fresh install of 42.1, and I have spent more than enough time getting it just the way I like it. Unfortunately, I need more space. I think its just a grub issue, so was hoping for some guidance.
Why not explain the problem you had with grub? There are people here that may help. What error do you get when booting? My procedure usually is to install a fresh Linux of the same version in a small partition, to act as rescue partition. Then I create more partitions for the clone, which can be the same layout as the original or different. I copy over all files with rsync. I edit fstab on the target to correct references, and in grub configuration. Finally, I chroot the target filesystem and install grub. It can be done with yast, text mode. I try first to do it directly, on the CLI, but I often fail. Finally, I reboot the target system. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
