I just got my SuSE 9.2 box, and upgraded. Must say that I love the new splash screen look, and am overly content with the software.

The upgrade went smooth, except for one thing ... Installation of GRUB. It appears that SuSE didn't figure out correctly that I had a small partition on my SATA drive, set for /boot. And whenever I tried to run the installation disk to fix the boot loader, it always put in its own definition of where the root partition was, which in this case was (hd0,2), while the /boot partition was (hd0,5). No matter how much I tried to set the correct root partition, the log window always showed it tried to use the root partition, to access the kernel.

You may install&config grub loader manually. 1) Boot from CD/DVD in rescue mode and mount your partitions prepared 2) Change /boot/menu.lst (grub configuration file) manually 3) Run grub-install from mounted partitions (or grub - in manual mode). 4) If it'll not work (as in my case few weeks ago, see our maillist archive), you may a) create executable floppy w/grub by means of dd (2 dd's, see grub docs) and then b) boot grub from floppy and install loader "manually" w/using of grub "subcommands".

My 0,2€ worth, hope it helps. :-)
