My question is: How do i find the right things to put here, and how do i do it?
Find menu.lst if it exists in the /boot tree somewhere and show us what it contains. Also if you can, find grub.cfg in the /boot tree somewhere, and show us what it contains. Note that you still are booting with Grub2 until you perform the steps outlined in http://orgs.man.ac.uk/documentation/grub/grub_3.html#SEC9 or get YaST to do it. To get a good boot menu with less work, choose bootloader from the YaST menu and make it install Grub in the place where Grub2 is now, which seems to be EXT2 sda3 on your system. If you cannot get that to work, report back with those two files for next steps to try. Note too that from cmdline login as root on tty[1-6] life is easier if you learn to use Midnight Commander to navigate and view and edit files. Just mc as root, use the arrow keys to move around, and as the bar at the bottom shows, F3 to view highlighted file, F4 to edit highlighted file, F9 menu to do other things like search for a file or what file contains a string, all very easy compared to typing and remembering what to type for everything you want to do at repair time. If command not found for mc, just 'zypper in mc' and try again. As a test of mc, navigate into /etc/sysconfig, and look at bootloader file with F3. There you should see the default cmdline options that installation chose to use. For Grub Legacy this is the "DEFAULT_APPEND=" line. It is important information to rebuild your Grub menu, if it actually needs rebuilding. Before you try rebuilding, show it/them to us. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.
