The quickest method to boot installed system is:- from rescue system mount / and /boot if you have a separate boot partition at /mnt ie. mount /dev/sdxx /mnt then execute this command :- kexec -l /mnt/boot/vmlinuz --initrd=/mnt/boot/initrd --command-line=root=/dev/sdxx Obviously the dev/sdxx xx is replaced with your actual partition and disk letter and number and the --command-line= option can take any option you wish to pass to the kernel. After entering the above command type kexec -e and your system will boot. I find the easiest way to fix bootloader problems is to rpm -i --force kernel-xxxxxxxxx and let the installation script take care of the bootloader but if you managed to reinstall yast and zypper etc. from dvd using update your system you can then use yast to fix the bootloader problem.

Ok Dave.
Thanks for the information. I cannot quite follow what I have to do. Would be more easy, if being able to use yast, but as you can see in my screenshots, I'm unable to boot.

As I cannot boot, i also cannot run the fdisk -l command to see the info for the HDD
when you are in the repair system you can press ctrl/alt/F2 to get a console and you can run fdisk -l from there. If you are happy that all of your system packages are restored you can try my method to boot from the rescue system. I am guessing your root partition is /dev/sda2 as your screen shot shows. 1) Boot into rescue system from DVD 2)mount /dev/sda2 /mnt 3)kexec -l /mnt/boot/vmlinuz --initrd=/mnt/boot/initrd --command-line=root=/dev/sda2 4)kexec -e Your kernel will now boot.
