Can you check the device map and existence of 7th partition on that disk? Alternatively, attach /boot/grub/device.map and partition layout of all your disks. -- 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.

Grub will name your freebsd parts (hd0,0a) (hd0,0b) etc. (I'm currently not sure about the second zero). Linux will simply count them along or not, depending on the kernel config. Yast needs to remove BSD partitions found in the label from the numbering, or bad things will happen. -- 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.

Grub still complains not to find menu.lst first and then remains in text mode. -- 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.
