But there must be a better way.
What about booting with the install disk, choosing install and when you get to the screen with "Install/Boot from HardDrive" choose the "Other" box and repair installed system? AIR, there is an option for fixing the partition table and another for the boot process.
Well, there are lots of things that YAST could probably do for you but I'm thinking that the way it used to work was best. I ran into the problem recently when I replaced the hard drives in my wife's machine and needed to re-install grub with some new definitions.... The strange thing was, that when running the rescue system, it saw the new drives (SATA) as SDB and SDA whereas booting from the drives, the system saw them as the reverse of that. So I couldn't really install grub from the rescue system. It was a weird problem. -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
