I'm running SuSE 9.3 on my 2.4Ghz P4, 1024Mb RAM, 200GB HD, pc. Last night I was updating some packages via synaptic and the suse apt repositories on ftp.gwdg.de including a lot of updated kde stuff. Synaptic wouldn't run the update because several of the packages weren't signed. As an alternative, I used red carpet to install all of the packages from the cache file where synaptic had downloaded them to. Everything installed fine and I rebooted with no problems. Upon reboot, I downloaded Mplayer and the mplayer plug-in from Packman's site and installed them with red carpet as well. However, when I tried to reboot the splash screen (9.3 default) shows me the command lines and says that it can't find hdb1 or any other partition on my hard drive. I get the grub menu just fine, but when I try to load 9.3 it craps out and tells me it can't find any partitions. I tried doing a repair with the 9.3 dvd, but it also says it can't find any partitions on the hard drive. I would love to be more specific, but I'm not quite competent enough to do so. I would appreciate whatever help is given. Thanks in advance Jack
