Resulting in grub Error 23 Please check the description in point 1.1 of the referenced document: http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs/YaST. It is not up to date. Manually and again after quite some trial and error, guessing, sorting out different information from different forums, we found, that grub can also boot Windows with the following configuration files contents (Grub was installed before with the SATA, RAID1 drives disconnected): device.map: (fd0) /dev/fd0 (hd0) /dev/sda (hd1) /dev/sdb menu.lst: # Modified by YaST2.

In this case: grub> setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 (hd0) (/dev/sdc2,1) Error 23: Error while parsing number The problem is that your device.map doesn't include info about /dev/sdc original device.map included just info about DM-RAID and floppy. Device /dev/sdc was not added. It will be fixed in 11.0 -- 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.
