I know this problem has been listed before, but I have tried the fixes and I still can not get a full boot.
After a kernel upgrade, the system would only boot to a "GRUB>" prompt.
I used the install disk and tried to repair the mbr several times, but I still get the "GRUB>" prompt only with no errors. First, do you see the message "GRUB Stage1 Boot" when your system first comes up. If not, then the MBR is damaged.
If yes, it would appear that the system tried to install grub.
The best way to do this, is to boot the system through the installation
DVD/CD, and boot the installed system. Then run YaST2/Boot Loader
configuration. This should essentially repair your system.
You can also boot the install CD, don't install any software, but go
through the installation procedure. It should take you through the boot
loader configuration.
You will not need to reinstall the system. There are other ways you can
get GRUB to reset the MBR, but YaST2 is straightforward.
