When I put the 10.0 DVD into the machine and boot the installed system it boots 10.2 and I have not figured out how to mount 10.0 Figured I could use Yast to fix it.
Think I could fix it from within 10.2 ?? Trouble is, I know absolutely nothing about grub. Been using lilo all of these years.
Hello Bruce, Thanks for replying
Yes, you most likely can fix it from 10.2 but we would need to see (from the 10.2 install)
/etc/fstab
/boot/grub/menu.lst
and also
fdisk -l /dev/

In short, you will/may have to change the 10.0 /etc/fstab and the menu.lst if you have changed the order of the partitions for 10.0
Did not touch the hdb (10.0) drive
Having the 10.2 files for the above wouldn't hurt either.

Nothing. (Is it the number 10 or the capitalized IO, and is oparts capitalized?) Had to drop back to level 3 before I could get any output from the command. I don't know how to save and paste the output from there but this is what I found: fdisk -l /dev/hdb gives me 3 partitions. A 1G boot partition, a 1G swap partition, and a 28G LVM (which I have my home and all other partions on as LVM's) If I then do an fdisk -l on hdb1 (the boot partition) it tells me that hdb1 doesn't have a valid partition table ?? Seeing that, I do and fsck on /dev/hdb. Output is that the device is busy and failed (status 0x0) Then I do an fsck on hdb1 - says it is clean Then I do an fsck on hdb2 - says swap not found (error2) Then I do an fsck on hdb3 - says LVM2 member: not found (errror2) I really can't believe there is a partition table problem. The command > 10-Opart never produces any results. (Tried in every variation I could think of, as above) Sooooo...I guess that I am not understanding this. Mind you now, I did not TOUCH any of the partitions on hdb. To remind you, I have 3 drives. The first is hda which is an ide device that has Win98 and several Linux partitions (where I keep my backups, workspace and some not so important data) The second is hdb, another ide, where 10.0 is installed and most of my important personal data is stored, and the new drive a SATA, sda, where I installed 10.2 I can go into the Yast partioner and see that everything is there. I just cannot access hdb (10.0) I have to access hdb. That is where everything that is important resides. Maybe if I unplug the new Sata drive I will be able to mount that drive with the DVD? Thanks again and Please help. I'm sure it has something to do with changing from LILO to Grub. but then Win98 was picked up by Grub but 10.0 was not. Very frustrating.
