I had a failing IDE HD as /dev/sda, so I installed 10.3 on a new SATA drive /dev/sdb and was booting from it until I removed /dev/sda. The SATA drive is now /dev/sda, but it won't boot, just the cursor on the top of the screen. Booted from DVD to rescue, altered fstab and menu.lst was changed from (hd1,0) to (hd0,0), still won't boot and grub commands give unrecognised device string errors. menu.lst now says gfxmenu (hd0,0)/boot/message No luck.
Rescue isn't as easy as it used to be. The solution in http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2007-04/msg00048.html might be your solution. -- " It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible."
