Just a thought here.... Since it didn't show up, it makes me think he's adding it to the wrong menu.lst file. He has 10.0 and 10.2 each with their own /boot/grub/menu.lst I would assume. Perhaps he's dealing with the wrong one?
No, the 10.0 used lilo.
Since he installed 10.2, I would assume that the MBR is pointing to the 10.2 /boot/grub
I've never heard of a menu item not showing up without some error being shown.
Same here. Since he used to use lilo, his 10.2 should be the only grub and menu.lst. And I agree, I don't understand how it doesn't even show up either.
OK Gentlemen,
Stick with me .....Please???
I checked Yast - Bootloader and 10.0 was there. But there was practically nothing describing/pertaining to it. No /dev/root - no nothing. So I edited the file extensively and saved it.
Rebooted, and 10.0 showed up in the boot menu. Some success I guess. But now it fails with an Error 15 File not found. Grrrr......Did some Googling on the grub error 15 but didn't find anything that I thought would pertain to this.

Something here doesn't look right. I assume that on 10.0 you have your /boot contained on the root partition since you have grub-root as (hd1,0) and system root as /dev/hdb1 which would be the same. Now for 10.2, I'm seeing grub-root as (hd2,0) which would be hdc or sdc unless you have things mapped differently and your system root is sda1 Didn't know you had three drives... ???????? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
