Take it easy, Charles!

I know it can be very frustrating when the solution eludes you... trust me, 
I've been there and done that many times... probably everybody else on this 
list has, too...

When you've cooled down and gotten some rest, do the following:

1. boot into your 10.2 installation using the DVD
2. go into YaST
3. launch the partitioner module
4. allow it to probe the system; it will build a list of your partitions
5. make no changes!
6. copy/paste/type all the data you see into a text file
7. close the partitioner session ('abort' button) to close the module
8. open a shell, 'su' to superuser, do a 'cat /boot/grub/menu.lst'
9. copy the contents of menu.lst into the same text file
10. in the same shell, do a 'cat /etc/fstab'
11. copy the contents of /etc/fstab into the same text file
12. 'exit' out of superuser; 'exit' to close the shell
13. post the text file here to the list or e-mail it to me privately

My guess is you're missing something simple because you're frustrated and 
tired. Another set of 'eyeballs' will probably see it fairly quickly. Hope to 
hear from you tomorrow, now please go get some rest! ;-)
