Hi Philipp,
Thank you for your reply. I am attaching a SATA drive to the motherboard which obviously shifts raw device naming as seen by grub.
With the system as is, obviously everything works fine. When I add a new SATA device to the motherboard, I am getting grub error 17.
device.map:
(hd0) /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD740ADFD-00NLR1_WD-WMANS1505822
(hd4) /dev/disk/by-id/ata-INTEL_SSDSA2M080G2GN_CVPO9391018S080BGN

(hd2) /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WD20EADS-00R6B0_WD-WCAVY0250778
menu.lst (relevant portion) :

I did not have this problem with 11.2 and 11.1 and seems new with 11.3.
Any ideas what I am missing?
Thanks,
Vahe
According to the GRUB manual, error 17 "Cannot mount selected partition" means "This error is returned if the partition requested exists, but the filesystem type cannot be recognized by GRUB." The SATA drive's filesystem type? Is the required filesystem kernel module in the initrd? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
