.... (sdc8) Not sure what you mean about the "root=position". You mean as an option on the grub menu? You mean /dev/sdc8 ? or (hd2,7) ?
The kernel lines in your 11.2 menu.lst stanzas include something like: kernel...vmlinuz...root=/dev/disk/yadayadayadayadayadayadayadayadayada showopts... While in the Grub menu part of the boot process, substitute /dev/sdc8 for the .../yadas in your menu choice and report back what happens when you proceed. Oh, wait a minute. SUSE stupidly puts the showopts parameter after the root= on kernel lines, and moves it back every time perl-Bootloader gets run after manually putting it in the more useful pre-root= position. That prevents you from seeing the root= section while in the GFX Grub menu. To do what I wrote requires you exit the GFX Grub menu to the text Grub menu to edit the kernel line root= section. -- " We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion."
