I'm trying to install 10.3 on a 4-year old 32-bit machine. I don't do enough installs to remember all the gotchas, so it's always a fraught process if anything goes wrong :(
I blew a 10.3 DVD, verified it and ran the installer. It all went happily and eventually started installing the packages so I went home and left it to it. This morning I came in to find
Missing operating system
on the screen. Which means it's messed up the MBR? I had a poke in the BIOS but don't see anything that looks odd.
I've now found a page that I hope tells me the steps to fix this (I'll post a link if it works). But (a) why is it broken and (b) why is there no install troubleshooting how-to (or at least nobody's told me of one)?
The easy to do fix was as documented here: <http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Howto_repair_boot_manager_Grub_on_opensuse_10.3#Manual_repair_on_the_command_line> Cheers, Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
