Programmer <casualprogrammer@yahoo.com> 2008-01-21 04:57:31 MST --- Probably you should know: System Disk is 80GB SATA Drive /dev/sda or (hd0), it has 4 primary partitions /dev/sda1 (hd0,0) Windows XP, bootable, /dev/sda2 (hd0,1) Windows XP, bootable, /dev/sda3 (hd0,2) Linux Swap and /dev/sda4 (hd0,3) openSuSE11.0a1 bootable. The boot sequence is setup by openSuSE during install and goes from MBR ( GRUB stage 1 ) of /sda to MBR ( GRUB stage 2 ) of /sda4 then controlled by /boot/grub/menu.lst. Works flawlessly for me except when I happen to wipe out an MBR by accident. This is actually what happened: I was setting up a few USB sticks as bootable rescue devices with Clonezilla and accidentally syslinux grabbed the MBR of /dev/sda4. Hence my desire to use yast2 repair. It did not work for me from the alpha1 DVD, so I booted using my GRUB boot disk and tried it from the mounted system. No go. What helped me was using the rescue system from the DVD, mount /dev/sda4 and grub-install.unsupported /dev/sda4. ( grub-install does not work from rescue, it seems to miss yast2 as helper. ) As far as yast2 repair from the DVD is concerned, the system is clean. Only if expressly asking for MBR restore, GRUB boot sector restore or menu.lst editing the problems show up. -- 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.
