Hi I have 12.1 on a USB stick installed from the DVD. It installed and booted fine during the installation process and I was able to work with the system after installation, configure it etc. On reboot, I get: Missing operating system fdisk -l Disk /dev/sdb: 8010 MB, 8010194944 bytes 247 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1021 cylinders, total 15644912 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x68191dc3 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 2048 1525759 761856 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sdb2 * 1525760 15644671 7059456 83 Linux I can mount it and see the installation fine. /boot looks intact: fstab: /dev/disk/by-id/usb-Kingston_DT_101_G2_001CC0EC33B0FB90F70C2592-0:0-part1 swap swap nofail 0 0 /dev/disk/by-id/usb-Kingston_DT_101_G2_001CC0EC33B0FB90F70C2592-0:0-part2 / ext4 acl,user_xattr 1 1 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0 debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs noauto 0 0 usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0 /boot/grub cat device.map (hd0) /dev/disk/by-id/usb-Kingston_DT_101_G2_001CC0EC33B0FB90F70C2592-0:0 cat menu.lst # Modified by YaST2.
