That's because it doesn't understand ext4, and you installed with ext4 as a file system.

The way I recovered my test system was to press escape on the boot screen to drop to text grub, then press c for command, then do root (hd0,0) kernel=/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda2 initrd=/boot/initrd boot That should bring up your system. Once it's up, start YaST and go to the boot loader configuration module, and tell it to create a new proposal. That will create a fully functioning grub menu Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
