Hi folks,

Today I rebooted my computer and ended up with the word GRUB.(no keyb input possible) Nothing wrong to find except that it want boot After some actions described later I decided to make a boot cd just as described in the grub manual. I copied the contents of my boot partition to this cdrom + the eltorito stage. This works fine, with this workaround I can again boot my computer.

But now the real job,repair the combination mbr-grub.

Therefore I booted the suse install dvd in the repair mode. It repaired the filesystem (ext3) of my boot partition. Nothing changed, the boot ended with GRUB Then I reinstalled grub via the install dvd in repair mode. Same problem. Then a restore of the mbr. Nothing changed

What can be wrong ???

Thanks, Hans

Hi, maybe you need repair your mbr, bootloader in suse use /etc/grub.conf which contains commands for grub. If you want rewrite mbr, then use setup --stage1=something(same as in grub.conf) (hd0) (your disk with grub in grub notation like hd0,1)

This was also my opinion, but everything seems correct, I was looking at the wrong place. I removed all my disks except the boot-systemdisk then everything worked again like always. Then I restored my bootpartition from backup, reconnected my disks one by one and the system is still booting correct.

At the end nothing is changed, its magic !!! I think for some reason the mbr was pointing at the wrong disk.

Thanks, Hans

Sometimes bios choose another disk as booting and then grub choose bad mbr to write. Another thing how repair it is change device map (set hd0 to booting disk). JReidinger -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
