OpenSuSE 11.2 on AMD 64bit CPU. This system is giving me fits with the Grub boot loader. When I did the complete install I used a complete HD, leaving the functioing 10.3 installation on another HD, and selected the defaulrt Grub settings. The first failure to boot gave me the following error statements: GRUB loading error 17 and hung. After much hair pulling (I really can't spare any now that winter seems to have arrived), I managed to boot the system using the following: mount the 10.3 DVD and boot the maching from that drive Selece Installallation/Repair/Expert/Boot Installed Sustems/ Boot either 10.3 or 11.2 A tad clumsey, but it works. Today I ran the 11.2 DVD and selected Installation/Repair/Custom/Boot Loader which worked (supposidly) and installed a new Grub. However, when I boot the system (after removing the DVD) I get: Guub Loading Stabe 1.5. Grub Loading, please wait . . . I waited and I waited and I waited and ......... --->- back to he mount the 10.3 DVD, etc..... (Incidentially the 11.2 DVD keeps cycling through the Partition or System to boot selection) One other thing, I selected the option to boot ffrom the root directory for the 11.2 installation. The root directory is /dev/sdc1 formatted ext3. Here is the menu.lst: # Modified by YaST2.
