From the grub menu command shell, try

Grub can read a file system without mounting. The root command does a mount. Rootnoverify does not attempt mount, it just makes the call based on what it reads from the table. For reasons sometimes impossible to explain, rootnoverify works when root does not....Also try this using (hd0,5) and /dev/sda6.
I must have missed your reply that this too failed. Or did it?
I guess I got distracted by something else. I should try it though, on both of the HDs. I'll report on what it does. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
