An error-message occured. As there was a functioning installation of OSS11.3 on the computer, I was able to start 11.4 nevertheless by using the GRUB-shell. Thus I could see the following situation: root (hd1,... 0 ext2fs 0x83 sdb1: OSS 11.3 1 0x82 sdb2: swap 2 ext2fs 0x83 sdb3: home-11.4 3 0x5 sdb4: extended 4 0x5 ????????????? 5 ext2fs 0x83 sdb5: OSS 11.4 6 0x7 sdb6: Auslagerung (I) 7 0xz sdb7: Sicherung (H) 8 ext2fs 0x83 sdb8: home-11.3 I don't understand why GRUB identified the extended partition sdb4 twice, as hd1,3 and hd1,4. The YaST-GRUB during installation identified only 1 extended partition as hd1,3. Thus GRUB couldn't start the kernelimage vmlinuz.
