Hello SuSE people,
I downloaded and installed a clean new 11.2 GM iso 64 bit DVD yesterday. It installed just fine and allowed an ext4 file system. I chose to let it boot from it;s own primary. (Like the other os's I have installed) (Grub dutifully added it to it:s menu.) On it's own first boot It worked very well and I did a few small tweaks to it. Shutdown for the night.
Today, I booted up and chose the 11.2 entry in Grub and got this message:
boot (hd2,7) filesystem type is ext2fs partition type 0x83 configfile /boot/grub/menu.lst
and sat there with the cursor flashing. Have no idea what it is doing or telling me and it won't boot 11.2. Had to shutdown.
Something about the filesystem? Ideas anyone? Please?

Should you find the answer to this problem PLEASE let me know. I am having something very similar to the above: 11.2 GM DVD installs perfectly on my computer, but on the first reboot I get the error message that grub has a problem finding a bootable system (with only 11.2 installed). On my wife's computer 11.2 GM installed OK and *will* EVENTUALLY boot but then the HD "in use" LED remains on until I reboot and do an e2fsck check on the drive (which finds no problems) after which the LED stays off -- until the next boot. I took the same HD with 11.2 installed and put it into another computer I resurrected (and which only has 120MB of RAM). 11.2 booted up without the slightest problem! (The only thing was that it found a different sound card and wanted my input as to what to do with it.) However, I haven't used it for anything so don't know what having only 120MB of RAM will result in :-) . The common HD used in this is that it is one of 2 "matched" (new) 160GB Seagate HDs which I bought 6 months ago. The first one is going back for replacement. Now I am wondering if this, second one, is also to go back for replacement.
