Thanks Jan for all your god suggestions!
While I did not have a live DVD of 10.3 on hand, I did have the regular install DVD. Since I had a "spare" partition on my harddisk, I just installed a new fresh 10.3 on that then mounted my original root partition and copied the kernel files there and update grub's menu.lst. The machine booted fine and I did a kernel update to the "fixed" kernel and things are back to normal again.
I always keep a second small installation in a separate partition, for emergencies.
One thing I have noticed, is any time I install a release of (open)SUSE alongside another one, so that I have multiple versions installed, grub is installed again and I have all these grubs pointing to other installations or other grubs on the various partitions. I can clean it all up after the installations so there is only one grub, but I was wondering if there was an easy way to have just one "master" grub updated no matter how many other verions one installed on their machine?
Better let each install do it's own grub into its root or boot partition, not the mbr. That way they don't collide. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
