Start with telling us what is your boot disk.
O.K. First of all: this is "my" system, in the sense that I took care for it. It is my fathers system at my parents home. To be honest I had not to care too much because it just worked. Historically it was a windows system so this is what explains a few of the weirdo things here. Discs are sda, sdb, sdc, and sdd. Initially the sdb was the windows one and was the first disc but after a repair it turns out that: sda is in one only partition of 298 GB and should bear only data with NFTS partition (windows) The sdb was historicall the first disc running with win. sdb 1 160GB NTFS (seems the "own data of users" Windows sdb 2 110GB NTFS (old system disk of Win) Then the partitioner shows: sdb6 with 40 GB ext4 (leap root) sdb7 with 2 GB ext4 (leap swap) sdb5 with 153 GB (? - I do not really recall if this got /var or /home or if it was abandoned. I think it is part of home as LVM, it is ext4) sdc is windows data disc, all dedicated to backup Acronis (so it should not enter in the problem). sdd is 1.8 TB of data with user /home The system should start from sdb, as I have not a /boot, the MBR therefore. Why it did have another location or MBR is not known to me, with 42.2 it booted normally, with 42.3 it stopped to work. And I did not change any setting in yast since at least 12.2. I hope that was somewhat understandable. My father is 91 years old and my parents rely quite a lot on having a running Linux. I would just like to recover the data and have a running system. If grub can be reconfigured to start the otherwise well situated system, I will be happy to do this. Otherwise I would have to know what exactly tell the installer (once read in the existing partitions) in order to not run into this problem again.
