Re-install is something you can always do. But i meant: boot from SuSE live-media, do a mount the original /root and /boot, do a chroot and re-install grub. That would be possible, if / or /home would be recognized, but it was not. Only /boot was, and of course windows like: fat32 and ntfs. Felix helped me with the remnants of grub2, so i was able to boot into int 5. Than i used yast to install a new grub legacy. Yast was not used to see /boot having an ext4fs, (proposal of lvm) because that is always ext2, and assumed ext2. So now the loader does not work how it has to. I can boot, but not clean. I'm not sure if memory serves me well. But If I remember an old discussion I once had with on an *buntu mailing list with a grub2 proponent, one of the disadvantages of grub legacy was that it couldn't use an ext4 boot partition...
My solution was not to use ext4.
Since then I heard something about an patch for grub legacy that added an ext4 stage1.5 to it.
So hopefully, since you just installed a "new" grub legacy, you now have an ext4 capable version???
But if your stuck with the unpatched version you might want to checkout
and think about recreating your grub partition as ext2 or ext3. If your using live-media, you should be able to back up the /boot partition files to your /root partition, recreate /boot with mkfs, restore the files to new ext2 or ext3 fs...
This is good advice, because i did not know. I was always used to use ext2 for my /boot partitions. I will check around. The problem is that live media can not see my / and /home partitions, because they were created by lvm. But i can get into my system, just not as 'smooth' as always.
