To my knowledge there are no reports for 10.2 with such a behaviour. Is there something special set for your BIOS on hda (partition table protection)? Please try the following: - Boot the rescue system of SL 10.2 - log in as root - execute the command "parted -s /dev/hda unit cyl print" - if parted tells about "unrecognised disk label", execute the command "parted -s /dev/hda mklabel msdos" - execute the command "parted -s /dev/hda unit cyl print" again and check if the message about "unrecognised disk label" is gone. - please provide the content of /var/log/boot.msg and the output of the command "dmesg" -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
