Thanks openSuSE for leaving a working copy of the MBR in /boot. "dd if=backup_mbr of=/dev/sda" did the trip On 04/18/2010 08:50 PM, Donn Washburn wrote:
I was downloading a program via "zypper in bootchart" this comes after having to completely reload 11.3 M5. That came from mkinitrd not writing the MBR correctly. Bad news is that zypper script ran mkinitrd.
I sure hope it works correctly. It will be no fun to reload 11.3 M5 for the third time on one machine. I removed a bunch of modules to save bandwidth.
