I have a system with two hard drives, the 1st drive has (had) Windows Vista and the 2nd drive was blank.
I installed openSUSE to the 2nd drive and did not modify the 1st drive (I can still browse the contents at /windows/C & /windows/D) however I can no longer boot into Windows Vista after the openSUSE install.
When I boot the system the bootloader menu lets me select openSUSE and Windows but when I select Windows the system hangs at a black screen.
From http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_mailing_list_netiquette "Understand that the audience is passionate about SUSE and openSUSE, posting that you hate SUSE, Linux, the mailing list, or other closely related things, will most likely get passionate responses, don't take things too personally." Intentionally is very unlikely, but bug is possible. I know that you are not comfortable with bugzilla search from one of your earlier complaints that you can't find your bug reports, so here are bugs related to 'vista': https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=406258 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=402550 Symptom and configuration in first seems to be the same as yours, so you can join effort to debug the problem, but the problem is the same in both. The rootnoverify GRUB directive points in both cases to linux partition, not windows. I missed to report that, as XP is not that sensitive and boots anyway. -- Regards, Rajko http://en.opensuse.org/Portal needs helpful hands. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
